Thank you both, I can see that now!
I wonder what value the coin was?

Thanks again. Abraham was my husbands 2x gr grandfather, James’ brother, who could ill afford the money. The story as we know is that James had originally been in partnership with Cunliffe Lister trying to find a way of using the waste threads from silk weaving. James had to pull out of the partnership when he ran out of money but continued to work for C L on the project and was eventually successful, inventing the loom that made velvet but all the recognition and financial rewards went to C L, leaving James very bitter! In later years James was recognised for the part he played.

Please could some kind person, help me find a death record for James Warburton in the
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,  area of Germany in 1877.   
I am hoping he is the ancestor of my husband who seems to have disappeared from Leeds after being found guilty of fraud. He could have returned there as he had previously lived, worked and committed his crime there but was  tried in this country as it was a British company.  His wife name was Amelie.
Many thanks, Jan

I am trying to find the location of Pickerills Lane, Aldridge. I believe it was in the Stubbers Green area but can’t find it on any of the old maps.

 Hi
We have been led to believe that my husbands grandfather, Sidney Joseph Arnold b1898, joined the army when he was under age. His father told the authorities and got him removed. He rejoined during WW1, was wounded and discharged and did not die until 1974

Would records of his underage joining be held anywhere and if so where, as I can find no trace of him or his service record on Ancestry?

I have no idea of which regiment he was in but he lived in Shustoke, Warwickshire and the only other possible clue is a photo his family can remember seeing of him wearing a uniform with a kilt.

Any help with this would be really appreciated.

Jan
