Renfrewshire / Re: inverclyde intimations
« on: Friday 12 April 24 08:03 BST (UK)  »
As of 2022 [?] the Intimations were removed from online. The reason? I was told "a lot of the information we had available online was in a PDF format that no longer meets the criteria around accessibility detailed in current legislation for the public sector so they have had to be taken down."

However, I downloaded several files many years ago for my personal use. I've now uploaded them to https://mega.nz/folder/ML90AZiA#YjiIf2hzH35TizQ4vSINBQ

Enjoy.

Oh dear, it’s very blurry isn’t it.

Presume you have seen the report of the inquest and death notice on Trove.

Yes, thank you mckha489

I'm hoping someone could look up the "The Belfast Newsletter" for Monday Morning, 8th August 1859.

I've seen a copy on Ancestry but cannot read most of it as it's too smudged.

DEATH 27 Apr 1859 for Rachel Watson... [at Collingwood, Melbourne]

Many thanks.

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / 1921 West Ham, Essex - Check lookup please
« on: Friday 18 November 22 23:02 GMT (UK)  »
I've searched the index on findmypast and at West Ham, Essex I've found:

Ethel Annie Green    1883   Commercial Road, London, England
Irene G E Green       1912   London, England
Stanley B Green       1915   London, England
Rowland H Green      1917  London, England
Doris V Green          1920  London, England
but I'd like to see if husband George Henry was with them. He was born 1887 Bow, London.

There is also a George Henry Green    1890   born West Ham, Essex, England on the index but I don't think he's my George.

Would really appreciate it someone could just say 'yea or nay' please.

Thanks

Libby
