Europe / SWITZERLAND Locarno grave records
« on: Tuesday 31 May 16 14:57 BST (UK)  »
Hello
I wonder if anyone can tell me where to start on finding the grave of Blanche Herbert who died 12 December 1920 at the Hotel Belvedere, Locarno?  She was born in Ireland, lived in England and travelled a few times to Switzerland.  Thanks.

Cork / National Memorial Cork
« on: Friday 10 April 15 20:44 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone could give me any information of a John Keogh listed on the 1803 plaque of the National Memorial in Cork.  I have followed up all the other names listed but am wondering if the John Keogh there is the man who died 1817 after a long fight against the Penal Laws that were then in force?
Many thanks if you can help.

Australia / Edward Orpen
« on: Friday 21 November 14 19:36 GMT (UK)  »
I would love to know if in 1824/1825 an EDWARD ORPEN sentenced at Tralee court, county Kerry, Ireland to 7 years transportation arrived in Australia and if anyone has a record of what became of him.  He was sentenced for perjury.  I don't know his age but think he could be between 35-45 years old.  National Archives Ireland only show the above bare facts.  Many thanks  :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Marriage Bans decipher
« on: Saturday 30 March 13 14:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I wonder if anyone can decipher the handwritten note in the right hand margin of the Banns. I see the first word as 'forbid' and the last two as 'sober man' ?
The marriage did not take subsequently take place there.
Thanks

Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Reprint Titanic Daily Mirror COMPLETED THANKS
« on: Monday 17 September 12 13:24 BST (UK)  »
If anyone had a relative connected to the Titanic I have some Daily Mirror reprints of the 1912 disaster.  I've no idea how I acquired them but would like them to go to someone with more interest.  Willing to post but would ask anyone receiving one to make a £1 donation to their nearest Help for Heroes collecting box.  Thanks :)

The Common Room / Titanic - Daily Mirror
« on: Sunday 16 September 12 14:56 BST (UK)  »
Clearing out an old box of papers I came across four copies of the Daily Mirror dated April 1912 covering the Titanic.  Because of the good condition of them I cannot believe they are original and I have no recollection of their origins.  Does anyone know if the Daily Mirror did a reprint in later years?   I intend to offer them to anyone with an interest on Unwanted Artifacts but would like know what to tell prospective new owners.  (free of charge of course)
Thanks  :) (I hate to throw anything away if it can be used by anyone else)

Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Souvenir War Memorial Holyrood Barnsley
« on: Saturday 15 September 12 17:47 BST (UK)  »
Among some old papers I came across a Souvenir War Memorial leaflet printed 1946 when the Bishop of Leeds blessed the memorial at Holy Rood Church, Barnsley.  There are 34 names of the dead listed.  I know it's a long shot, but if you had a relative killed in WW2 and a member of Holy Rood Church named in the folder then I am delighted to send it to you.
Names - Johnson, Kenny, Lee, Sheridan, Lynch, Hanson, Taylor, Cunningham, Hyslop, Richardson, Carroll, Wilcock, Boylan, Regan, McGrath, Meade, Hardware, Levi, Foy, Duncan, Morgan, Hymes, Regan, Newton, Durnan, Young,  Galvin, Miller, Richardson, Martin, McNicholas, Lavan, Carnevalli, Lawless,

Hello
This is the second missing photo.  Again my Dad is in the middle - they seem to be having a very relaxing time!  I really would appreciate some improvements to it.  Any time will do now that I have found it  :)
Thank you

Hello
Today I found two missing photos that I thought had gone forever.  Santa has come early  :)  (I almost cried when I found them!)
This one was taken either in Egypt or Libya c1944.  I am transcribing a diary kept by my father and would love eventually to be able to identify the people either side of him.
Any improvement - removing the crease etc - would be wonderful.
Thanks
Eileen
