Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Translation Latin note added to baptism record
« on: Sunday 18 February 24 10:56 GMT (UK) »
I have a 1871 baptism record for a Margaret Geoghegan and would appreciate help translating the note in the margin. It refers to her marriage to a Michael Burke in 1918. Thanks.

Thanks, I assumed the job was a live in carer

Census and Resource Discussion / 1901 Census Relation to Head of Family
« on: Saturday 24 June 23 20:18 BST (UK) »
I have located a census record where the relation to the head of the family is “Help”. I’ve never seen this before. Does it mean the person was a live in carer or nurse?
The census record is:
1901 Census
Wendover, Buckinghamshire
Ethel Wright
Age 26 (b. 1875 in Dalston, Middlesex)
Relation to Head of Family: Help
Occupation: Left blank but someone wrote “dom” for domestic at a later date
The Head of the household was a widow named Sarah A. Jago, age 70 (b.1831)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help deciphering word in 1881 census disabilities column
« on: Friday 06 January 23 19:43 GMT (UK) »
I did wonder if the word began with the letter a but thought the whole page every capital A (for place names like Appledore and names such as Ann) are all written with a small “a”. It would make sense for it to be crossed out if it was a medical condition that shouldn’t have been written down.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help deciphering word in 1881 census disabilities column

Could anyone tell me what the word in the disabilities column of this page of the 1881 census says? It doesn’t appear to be any of the options listed. Thanks.

Thank you both so much. It appears so obvious when you’re told what it says.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Naval Service Record Remarks
« on: Wednesday 28 December 22 16:54 GMT (UK) »
These are the remarks on the Naval Service Record of my Great Grandfather John Cousins Sole. He was a carpenter in the Royal Navy from 1890-1901. There are three words I can’t decipher which I have underlined in red and are [?????] below. The passage reads:
Fined for (1) Being drunk onboard HMS [?????] and (2) drinking intoxicating liquors to such excess as to produce illness by which he was unfitted for the discharge of his duty. Found guilty and [?????] to forfeit [?????] seniority and to be dismiss from his ship.
Can anybody work out the name of the ship and the two other words?
The record citation on Ancestry is: The National Archives of the UK; Kew, Surrey, England; Royal Navy Registers of Seamen's Services; Class: ADM 188; Piece: 231
