Berkshire / The Grange Old Windsor
« on: Saturday 10 November 12 14:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I've just found one of my ancestors Lizzie Piggins (born Whaplode Lincolnshire 1885) on the 1911 census, she was working as a housemaid at The Grange, Old Windsor. I've looked at the pages before & after the one she's on to try & find out who owned the house or lived there, with no luck so far. The page that gives the name & address says 'The Bothy, The Grange' & it's all other servants listed, it had 42 rooms. All that I found online so far is that The Grange was all that remained of the original castle from King Edward 1's times. Any ideas would be great please.

Hi, yes it was in the index, a wonderful resource isn't it? Wouldn't it be amazing if other archives did the same! I have taken your advise and emailed the Watt library, many thanks for taking the time to reply.

Renfrewshire / Watt Library Greenock-look up please if possible?
« on: Tuesday 30 October 12 23:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm shocked to have just found a death notice for my great x 4 grandfather (John Smith born c1799 Scotland, commercial traveller by trade) on the Watt Library online. My reason for being shocked is that he died in Moscow USSR! It says 'John Smith, formerly of Greenock died at his son's, Moscow USSR on 17/02.1878 aged 79'. This appeared in the Greenock Telegraph on 26/02/1878. I then found several more of his family members being born, getting married & dying in Moscow, here's two more -
'Ann Elizabeth, daughter of Mr & Mrs James Smith, grand-daughter of late John Smith,Greenock to William George Peet at Anglican Church of St Andrew, Moscow on 08.09.1899.(British date 20.09). (GreenockTelegraph 21.09.1899)' and 'Richard Smith, formerly of Greenock, died at 3 Hills Gate, Moscow on 2nd February 1902 age
80. Obituary p2. 11.2.1902. (Greenock Telegraph7.2.1902)'
No wonder I couldn't find them on the UK census returns! If anyone gets a chance to have a look for the obituary especially (there should be more information in that) I would be very grateful please. Many thanks.

Hi, I've found the burial record for one of my ancestors, three year old Charles Donner, burial was in West Ashby Lincolnshire, I found the record on the 'Lincs To The Past' website here: http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=779622&iid=175714
Entry no. 254, under the name it says something that I can't make out ...death? Any ideas would be very welcome, many thanks.
