Thanks Queenie 

I wonder if he got married again and was widowed again between 1861 and 1866 before marrying Caroline Hart in 1867?

Armed Forces / Army Records
« on: Wednesday 18 January 23 14:21 GMT (UK)  »
Pte. Philip  (poss T.P) Dorrington 82791 2/7 was in the Durham Light Infantry.   Born in 1900 not sure of dates of enlisting or of discharge.

Would his army record give details of what he did - if he received a pension - his date of death etc AFTER he had left the Army or do Army Records end when the soldier is discharged ?  Thanks.

Often wondered if there is a disagreement about burial place who has the final say ?
 

As far as I know - who so ever claims and is given the ashes can do what they want with them.

Chas

If the deceased has given instructions there shouldn't be a problem but I wonder what happens if no instructions have been left and there's a disagreement what to do with the remains - cremation/burial - place ?

The wishes of a neighbour who died recently was that he should be cremated with no relatives/friends there.  (He had an extensive family.)   
Undertakers took body to crematorium.  Body duly cremated and relative collected the ashes which were then scattered in the deceased favourite spot.
-------------------
Heard of someone who took relevant paper work from hospital where her relative had died to the Registry Office to Register the Death.
Registrar unable to decipher the certifying physician's signature - took 4 days to track down and contact the locum who had certified the Death - all added to a lengthy time between actual death and burial.
-------------------
When my father died his partner of 3 months wanted the ashes burying in the local C of E Cemetery. 
We wanted his ashes burying in the Methodist Cemetery of the village where he grew up. Bit of a disagreement !  They were buried in the C of E Cemetery.
12 months later his former partner was moving to Spain and agreed to the ashes being dug-up and re-interred in father's home village.  We had to get permission from various organisations to do this.
Sense that we'd done the right thing - father had never been in a Church in his life!

The question you have to ask yourself is, is there actually a need to know? There are some things that happen in life that are perhaps better left unsaid.

an interesting 'take' on my original question. 
My mother did her best but was 'distant' from us.  When we were grown up she hinted very strongly that her childhood had an abusive element to it.  That explained a lot to me.  I didn't need to know but I'm glad I do know.

The Lighter Side / Telling the adult children ?
« on: Wednesday 04 January 23 16:30 GMT (UK)  »
As family historians we want to find out as much information as we can about our forebears - not only
b-m-d's but personal details.
At times it's frustrating because this lack of information means we don't know as much about them as we would like.
However I find myself doing the very thing that I criticise my forebears for doing.    That is I have not  told my children about some important things which have happened to me and other family members.
Anyone else in the same situation?
