Good Morning Carol.

I have resent the personal message.  I have not used this for some time, so maybe I did something wrong.  If you can't see it again, let me know.  Mary

Hello again Carol.

Just a supplementary note that may assist you, to say that I have sent you a personal message on this site which outlines Thomas's life and what I may be able to help you with.

Regards,  Mary

Hi Forfarian and Archie.

I certainly don't disagree with your comments.  These are the tools at out disposal - none are perfect,  but the combination of resources pretty will get us there.  Rootschat has been a good assist.

I too have used the tree maker on Ancestry but find the Scottish records available more difficult to access and transferring information from SP a bit tortuous.  Perhaps the limitation is mine!

Meanwhile, I'm still searching for James, so back to the grindstone.

Good luck with your own endeavours.  Mundell

Hi Forfarian,

Too right.  I had to get info. from the USA and many of  the States are either not digitized or way behind in the process.  Buying the documents I wanted was very expensive.

At least being able to see and download the images is a thrill. 

I recently completed another survey on SP and it looks as though a family tree maker might be on the cards.

If as many of us as possible complete the SP surveys and suggest a subscription/credit system, we might eventually get there.   Mundell

Hi Imber, Archie and Dod.

 Imber:- I did not know that was why the actual record images are not available on FindMyPast, and I suppose Ancestry too. It is great to be able to access the actual record on SP but I wish this service did a subscription as one can make expensive mistakes.

Dod:- Thanks for that link which took me straight to the section. I entered a combination of James Walton/Marsden/Mundell and got a lot of hits, so it looks as though I will have to renew my subscription to explore these.  Also, I looked up Ancestry, and it looks as though I should subscribe again there too.

Archie:- The name of another of my uncles is on the Plymouth Memorial too.  He went down on HMS Glorious and the records of that incident were sealed.  However, I got a lot of information from the Imperial War Museum and also by just putting 'HMS Glorious' into my browser I accessed some other references.

Thanks for all your help, folks.  Mundell

Thanks Forfarian , Archie and Dod.

Forfarian - I will follow up your suggestion regarding Register of Poor.

Archie - I was just beginning to wonder about English records as several years ago that is where I had found my Scottish Grandfather - Robert Glendinning Mundell who died in 1915.  I had forgotten that option.  So, will pursue that.

Dod - you're welcome to use this thread as all who respond add information which enhances my education in these matters.  Rootschatters have been very helpful over time.

Thanks again, folks.  Mundell

Thank you very much MARGP.

That has been a great help.  The link explains a lot and will be useful for other uncertainties within my family research.

Comment to Archie 'Templar75'

Thanks for your suggestion regarding an assumed surname. 

James's 'brother', Walter Marsden is listed as Walter Mundell on his war grave marker at Tincourt New British Cemetery, France, so presumably any death certificate would be in this name.

Wouldn't a birth certificate or formal name change document have to be presented for a death certificate, or were the rules more relaxed in those earlier years?

Regards,  Mundell

Thank you R.J. Paton.  That is a fine explanation.
