Thanks. We did find that information. So many Fultons and Hamiltons in the area!

Tyrone / Anyone related to this Anne Hamilton of Newtownstewart
« on: Tuesday 23 June 20 23:20 BST (UK) »
Looking for info on Anne Hamilton, widow, who married William Fulton, widower and tailor, 18 Nov 1851, by license at Strabane Registrar's Office. Both of Newtownstewart.
I would like to find out if her 1st married name was Hamilton, or was that her maiden name? The date makes finding records difficult - I lucked out finding the 2nd marriage on IrishGen.

Armed Forces / HMS Arrogant circa 1801
« on: Wednesday 03 July 19 20:34 BST (UK) »
[Please tell me if I have chosen the wrong forum for this question.]
I have an image of a will written aboard the HMS Arrogant on 10 April 1801 by a Richard McIlray, in which he bequeaths all he owns to a shipmate. It's a beatutiful thing and I would love to learn more about him. He is a part of my One-Name Study of the surname McElrea and normally I would not spend so much time on one person, but it intrigues me.
Are there any records I can search that might tell me more about him or where his ship was at that time?
Thank you,
Kathleen

Warwickshire / Re: Married at sea? Where would it be recorded?
« on: Saturday 24 November 18 01:47 GMT (UK) »
Checked GRO. I think Shaun's idea of checking Argentina is a good one. I found the instructions for requesting a marriage cert and will send it to my friend. The odd thing, is that today I found a record saying a nurse, 'Miss' Ethel Neale, was evacuated from France sometime after June 1940. Since she arrived in the UK in 1930 as Mrs Robertson, what's going on? There are a number of women with the same names running around on ships at the time, which is confusing, but I've been using her birth date and other info to be sure I'm looking at the right one. Maybe she was in the resistance during the war...

Ah-Ha! Missed that one - they traveled often. Thanks, Shaun, Argentina is first on the list, then. Hope records are available.
Also, today I found a record of Ethel being evacuated from France after June 1, 1940 and she was recorded as being "Miss" but I am not convinced.

Thanks very much! I found the records (and more) on FindMyPast, but no luck so far. I'm also trying to check Brazil.

Wasn't sure where to post this. If there is a better place, please let me know.
I am helping a friend look for the marriage of her great-aunt. Ethel (M?) Neale b. 1883 in Coventry, fa: Abraham, mo: Catherine. She was a nurse. Married Cecil James Robertson b. 1877 in Buenos Aires, fa: Jorge Robertson, mo: Juana (Janet) Lawrie.
They might have met and possibly married on a ship between South America and England, possibly around 1923. Where would that kind of marriage be recorded? We have not been able to find a marriage anywhere else.
They traveled quite a bit - we have found their Brazilian immigration certificates and their names on several passenger lists.
Ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks, Malcolm. I do believe I have reaped all I can from the site, but it never hurts to have another look. Highly recommended to other researchers!
