Europe / Cottonera hospital malta
« on: Friday 10 December 10 21:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

Can anyone tell me if there are any hospital records and if there are, where I can aquire them. My 2x great grandma died of burns and shock in 1888 on 22nd May. The death cert states that the informant resided at Cottenera Hospital, and that the death was registered on 24 May at the cottonera police station Malta, was this the norm?

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance

Armed Forces / 66th of Foot Regiment
« on: Saturday 09 October 10 14:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

My 4XGT grandfather was born in St Helena, looking on the family history section of India office records I found that his father was named as Thomas Smith, Mother Mary and that Thomas was serving with 66th of foot regiment (2nd Battalion). Has anyone got any idea how I can find out about the 66th of foot regiment and possibly find his records, if they exist.

Also on the India records office I found Thomas and Mary having other children 1816, 1818,,1820 and 1822, can't find marriage or any other births.

Any help appreciated

Thanks in advance

Other Countries / Ft Wm Bengal and St Helena
« on: Tuesday 05 October 10 21:09 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me if there was a particular link with Ft Wm and St Helena please.. I am trying to find a marriage of my 4x great grandfather Thomas Smith to a Mary in St Helena.  I know they had a child in 1816, I have come across a marriage to a Thomas Smith and Mary Allen in 1815 (which would tie in with the birth) but it says their location was Ft Wm and the Presidency was Bengal???

Any help, from anyone, anywhere, please.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for any help, much appreciated

Nottinghamshire / Help with reading this address please
« on: Sunday 03 October 10 10:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi all

I was wondering if anyone can help me with reading this address, I can make out it's a Row in Nottingham, but not sure of the name of the Row. I have also tried to do an address search on the census by trying variants of what I think it says but haven't come up with anything. 

I know the mother Betsy was illiterate, but this wouldn't have made a difference, would it? Or would the registrar have just written as she said it?

Any help would be gratefully received, thanks in advance

Europe / maltese lighthouse in valletta
« on: Tuesday 13 July 10 20:34 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find information about a lighthouse in Valletta and the occupiers of the building. I am led to believe my 2x great grandparents lived there in the 1800's but not sure which year exactly. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find out any history of the building.

Thanks in advance
