The Common Room / Access to medical record
« on: Sunday 15 April 12 17:57 BST (UK)  »
I would like to see the medical record for my great grandfather who died at The London County Asylum, Banstead, in 1915. Would I be able to see the record under The Freedom of Information Act and how would I go about it? I live abroad and am not planning to go to London again until after the summer so all contact would have to be either on the net or post.

I think this question as been posted on the forum before but I canīt find it. Grateful for any help, ideas etc.

The Common Room / Registration in Hebrew name
« on: Tuesday 15 February 11 01:15 GMT (UK)  »
If a Jewish boy was born in 1840-1841 would it have been possible to register his birth using only his Hebrew name? Iīm afraid I donīt have any idea what that Hebrew name could have been.

Family History Beginners Board / Ancestry - problems with
« on: Saturday 18 April 09 02:09 BST (UK)  »
My apologies if iīm repeating a topic here but iīm curious to know if anyone else has the same problem. I buy credits as I need them, about once a month, on Ancestry. This evening i wanted to look at the actual entry for a marriage as the Free BMD didnīt work (again) and I may want to order a copy of the certificate. My ancesterīs initials were F W Smith and I was directed to the page with A Smith entries, no entries beginning with F at all. This has happened a number of times now and apart from being frustrating itīs a waste of credits. Anyone else experienced this?

I have thought about a subscription but canīt justify the expense at the moment. Besides, when the Free BMD sides donīt always work and I get often get directed to the wrong page on actual images iīm not inclined to spend the money anyway.

Family History Beginners Board / info about Shiel Barry/Dorothy Minto
« on: Saturday 11 April 09 22:46 BST (UK)  »
This is my first post so i hope itīs in the right place!
I am looking for info about one of my ancestors, his name was Shiel Ronald Barry (his fatherīs name was Andrew Shiel Barry and motherīs name was Rachel Harriet Pocock). He was born in Lambeth London in 1880, became an actor like his father, married the actress Dorothy Minto in 1907 in London. He died in France in October 1916 in the Battle of the Somme.

On the 1911 census I see they had a child but no name is given though the child was still alive though apparantly not at home on the night the census was taken. I can find nothing of Dorothy Minto after 1936 when she made her last film.

I would be grateful for any info, I live abroad and have to rely on the internet for my research. 

Thank you in advance.
