Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Parish in Athlone Roscommon
« on: Saturday 09 July 22 15:08 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I'm not confident of what the parish is here. The rest I have, Barony of Athlone, etc.
Having cross-referenced with maps, I think it might be a variant spelling of Killinvoy but I'd appreciate any thoughts if you think that's right or wrong.
Thanks

Alderney, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark / Question about Priaulx Library lookup service
« on: Thursday 07 April 22 11:30 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am thinking about using the Priaulx Library lookup service for two marriages.
I've downloaded their form and it asks me to specify Civil Registration marriage or Church marriage register.
Does anyone know if one register is more likely to be successful than the other, and whether I'm likely to get more information from one than the other, e.g. parents' names, etc.?
Thanks.

Canada / Records between 1929 and 1931
« on: Tuesday 12 February 19 12:24 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I have the passenger list records of a relative who emigrated to Canada in 1929 (then returned to the UK in 1931).
The destination listed was the Salvation Army Hostel in Toronto for domestic work and she then moved to work on a farm somewhere unknown.
I will be in Toronto later this year and wondered if there are any records (particularly those accessible only in person) that might tell me more about where she was or what she was doing. I understand the 1931? census is not released yet.
Any hints or tips would be appreciated. I know it is a narrow window of time to work with.
Thanks.

That's another contender, thanks to all who've posted since my last check in.
I've been down the old maps route and everything. At least I can bear these places in mind when searching
Much appreciated!

Thanks again for all your suggestions. Still not managed to tie up with a real place name but I'll keep looking.

I did consider whether it was Hertfordshire.
Nothing likely is coming up in either of those counties though.
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm going to see if I can find any siblings.

I can't find anything that seems vaguely like Barnstead or Barristead either.
This is from St Mary, Hampton, Richmond upon Thames, 1821. In the London CofE births and baptisms 1813-1916 on Ancestry.
