Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Prison Admission 1830
« on: Friday 03 May 19 21:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm struggling to understand what is written in this prison admission for one of my ancestors.
 
The first is his complexion, it seems swarthy was crossed out and replaced with another word that I am unsure of.

Secondly, something about the right side of his forehead, a laceration maybe?

Thank you in advance.

you must make a couple of posts before you can send someone a private message!!

Ah that explains it, thank you.

Hi Catherine, so lovely to hear from you!  I have only been working on my ancestry for two weeks now and used the Chat site for the first time when I messaged you, I am really struggling with the site trying to send private messages so please forgive me being slow to respond to you.

I have got quite a bit of information on both families but nowhere as much as you.

I love the photo of Eileen Florence, she looks very dark, is it just the photo? my mother is so much like her!  I have some old photos but only as far back as my Nan and her family, you can have copies but my daughter Chantelle will have to help me out to post them.

I am so happy I found you on Roots, I will keep in touch and if possible send you any information I get.

Barbara





Hi Barbara ,

I have sent you a message with my email address.

It's amazing that you have been in touch. This forum has been a big help to me :)

Hi all,

Just an update.

The certificate did not mention a Father at all.

His mother's name is Ann Earley.

You’re welcome.  As you probably know, the cheapest way to get the certificate information is to order a PDF for £6 through the current GRO Online pilot service:

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

Do update the thread when it arrives - it’s always nice to know how things turn out :)

Thanks, I just ordered now so I will be back once I have the certificate.  :) I didn't know that PDF options were available, in the past I've just ordered a paper copy so thank you for letting me know!

Have you found his baptism record?

One of mine was illegitimate but his baptism record names his father

I have just ordered a copy of the baptism now, so will find out soon!  :) Im hoping his Father will be mentioned.

Given that “Howley” cropped up on the baptism, you might want to look at Ann Howley (28 b Stockport) in Cowell’s Buildings, Ardwick in 1871.  She is an unmarried mother of 9yo William (middle initial looks like L, but that could be an error) and John, 20 months.

RG10/3977/166/48.

Thanks so much for your help avm228. This could well be the mother. So kind of you to look into this for me.

As you suggested earlier, I will order the birth certificate and hopefully confirm.

Thanks all!

Thanks for the quick responses!

Yes, sorry it was 1861 he was born.

avm228 - Wow, thanks! So helpful - and so quick. I do appreciate it, thanks for your time!
