The Common Room / Re: Birth and Parents of Enoch (1849 - 1880)

Hi Claire,

Thank you for your help. It's strange that he has a father listed on his marriage record when it may well be he was illegitimate.

I'll have a look through the census records, thank you for the baptism too!

The Common Room / Birth and Parents of Enoch (1849 - 1880)
« on: Monday 28 August 17 00:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi  :)

I wondered if anyone could help me find a birth date and the parents of an Enoch Morecroft.

Enoch was married in 1875 in Dinapore, India to a Caroline Kelly. The record states he was born in 1849.

Enoch served in the 109th Regiment of the Bombay Infantry and later the 66th Berkshire Regiment. He was killed in action in 1880 - I don't know if these facts will be at all helpful to anyone.

His marriage record states his father was 'G Morecroft', which hasn't proved to be helpful so far. I've found a potential birth in 1847 for Enoch in Staffordshire, but I cannot find the family on any Census Records.

Thanks in advance for any advice, help and tips!

Thank you so much! :D

After hours of looking I really couldn't make out what some of these words said!

Europe / Zanotti - Italy
« on: Friday 26 August 16 12:48 BST (UK)  »
I'm currently searching for a birth record of Urbano Zanotti born 31 October 1920 and died 26 Nov 1998. I know he was born in Italy and died in the UK, but unfortunately I don't have access to any Italian birth records.

Could anyone be of help?

Thanks in advance!  :)

Do you know where the workhouse was situated and when it closed? I looked online but I've found it really confusing.

Thanks so much for your help!

Yes it could be! Thank you, where is this record from? Was there a graveyard there?

Nottinghamshire / Sneinton Lunatic Asylum Death Records
« on: Friday 12 August 16 17:45 BST (UK)  »
I've found a possible link to my family tree; Hannah Wheatley was born in 1792 in Beeston, and in the 1841 Census, a Hannah Wheatley is a patient at the Lunatic Asylum in Sneinton. Same age and date of birth.

I can't find any date for a death or burial, or any records following this one. Does anyone know where I may find one? Nothing on the Parish records, but then again, I heard if you were in an asylum you weren't buried in church graveyards.

Thanks in advance. :)
