Family History Beginners Board / Re: Magdalen Asylum, Convent of the Good Shepherd, Lichfield Hall, Blackley, Manches

Thank you for all this information. Seems like a long shot being able to trace an adopted baby from one of these places.

Family History Beginners Board / Magdalen Asylum, Convent of the Good Shepherd, Lichfield Hall, Blackley, Manches
« on: Monday 29 April 13 19:38 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find some information about a Laura Mary Daly born 1886 in Bristol, who is cited in 1911 as being an inmate in the Magdalen Asylum. It is possible that she was pregnant when she entered the asylum and if she was what would have happened to the baby once it was born. Do these Convents have a list of babies born, died and adopted, while the inmate was in their care?
Thanks

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Laboureur's who died in Spain around the 1970's
« on: Monday 29 April 13 19:12 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can help me? My Great Aunt Mathilda Maude Laboureur nee Shepherd went to live in Spain with her husband Jorge Laboureur and I believe that she died in the 1970's but none of my family know where or exactly when. Jorge Laboureur was in the Diplomatic Corp before retiring to Spain with Mathilda. How would I go about finding their date of deaths and where they died in Spain?
Thanks

« on: Monday 27 August 12 19:39 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Am looking into the Heron family, I have a Henry Heron (born about 1843 in Scotland) who married Mary Simpson (born abt 1847), a daughter called Alice Simpson/Heron born abt 1869 Troqueer, Kirkcudbrightshire, she married a Baptiste Alphonse Caroen (know nothing about him) poss married in Berwick on Tweed, not sure of dob, who died before 1856. Alice then married a Patrick Rowan in 1891.
Any info on the above would be helpful. Especially if it involves dob, marriage dates, children etc.
Thanks for any help

Berkshire / Lockinge Estate, Wantage
« on: Sunday 26 August 12 12:51 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I know that this is probably a needle in a haystack situation, but does anyone have any photos of the people who worked on the Lockinge Estate, Wantage around 1914. Or are they familiar with anyone who had a cleft lip who worked on the Estate at that time. The reason I ask is that the only clue I have to a relative is the cleft lip and that they may have worked on the Lockinge Estate.
Thanks for any info.

Herefordshire / Re: Birt/Lloyd marriage 1877
« on: Friday 25 May 12 21:38 BST (UK) »
Ambly and Trish
I have been through the census details for 1851,1861 and 1871 where Susan Lloyd is staying with John Bailey. (John Bailey died in 1875 and Susan Lloyd is stated on the Will.) The address on the 1871 is Lower House where Susan is living. I decided to look at where Edward Birt was living in 1881 with Susan and it looks like he moved into the house where she was listed in the 1871 census, that of Lower House. Therefore it looks like the Susan Lloyd born 1811 as stated on the 1851,1861 and 1871 is the wife of Edward Birt, but on the 1881 census she is stated as having a birth date of 1825.
So the date of baptism of 1807 looks like it is the right one.
If I am right and the address is the same for the 1871 and 1881 citations then it looks like I have found the answer to whether or not Susan Lloyd was married before she married Edward Birt.
Thanks for your help

Thanks Trish and Ambly
I am wondering if there is another generation with Major Lloyd in it who could be Susan's father as the one Ambly refers to is quite old. Also Susan's age at marriage would be 70 if we took the 1807 baptism. Not that that is a problem as such but seems a little odd if Edward Birt was 43.
This seems to be an interesting search!
Thanks Maggie

Hi Ambly,
Now that is interesting as I remember seeing a Major Lloyd and thinking what a strange christian name. Now I have to remember where I saw it. Probably when looking at the 1841 census. Unfortunatley I have nothing other than the 1881 census to go on as Edward Birt was the relation I was researching when I found all his marriages. Susan's being one of them. Edward Birt seems to have married 4 times. He got through his wives quite quickly although the last out lived him.
Thanks for your prompt reply
