Cheshire / Re: Josiah Bennett - beginning an English family research

Wow thanks for your help - this will get me started in the right direction!

I am wondering - are death certificates / causes of death available anywhere? Mary Roberts were only 33 and maybe she died in child bed?

Scotland / Re: List of soldiers af Prestonpans/Culloden?
« on: Monday 04 January 21 16:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi GR2

I dont know much except dates, marriages and so on.

Several of the clan names I know fought on either government or jacobite side - some even on both. He has Kerr's, Scott's, Ferguson's and Keith's - among other surnames who could be fighting under other clan names or regiments. The Scott branch leads back to Sir William Scott, "inveterate English hater" and Bruce III.
He remembers countless trips to Culloden with his grandmother who told stories of the familys jacobite participation. So as far as tales and 6th senses go, we are covered - now its about time to get some facts :-)

Scotland / List of soldiers af Prestonpans/Culloden?
« on: Monday 04 January 21 13:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi!

Researching my husbands Scottish ancestry, I have now come far enough to the time of the Jacobite battles.

Are the lists online for soldiers on either side? Lists of prisoners?

Cheshire / Josiah Bennett - beginning an English family research
« on: Monday 04 January 21 12:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi!

I am researching on behalf of my husband from Stockport - I myself am Danish and his fathers side was Scottish, so the English Cheshire side is new to me.

I googled his grand fathers name (Josiah Bennett of Hazel Grove, 1916-1953) and this post came up https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=28578.msg115444#msg115444

I have done to searching on http://www.cheshirebmd.org.uk/, but the info on the search results are sparse (no dates, parents names on births etc.).

How do I go about this? Is there a place where I can search the census? In Denmark everything is free and available online in on spot, so Britain is no easy task for me and I am thankful for any help I can get :-)
