Armed Forces / Birth details India 1938 please
« on: Tuesday 23 October 07 10:20 BST (UK) »
Good morning!I have offered to do some research for my stepsons...their grandad was born in India in 1938 and I have absolutely no idea where to start!
I am a member of ancestry but can't find birth records in the Indian army section...apart from going to Kew, I am unsure how to proceed
His name was Adrian Bernard St.John Wilson born Dehradun in 1938
His Dad was Alexander Bernard born W Derby (Liverpool) in 1902
Can anyone start me off on my 'road to Mandalay!!???'

Devon Lookup Requests / ANDREWS family help please!
« on: Tuesday 17 July 07 10:20 BST (UK) »
I have obtained the birth certificate of Nicholas George Andrews born 1857 to a Thomas and Elizabeth . They lived at Tormanham Devon ( now part of Torquay)which all fits perfectly.
The problem is The mothers name on the certificate states Elizabeth Andrews formally Winsor.
So I looked under Winsor and Andrews for a marriage some years before 1857. I used ancestry and Free BDM
I cant seem to find such an event. I can find a Thomas marriage to an Elizabeth Vine in Stoke Damerel 1851 which sort of fits but it’s a Vine!!
There are a few Elizabeth Winsor’s but none married to an Andrews.
The key thing is the certificate which indicates Andrews.
Using Free BDM I have found I have 3 possibilities of Elizabeth and 4 Thomas but no real links
Stumped.

Wiltshire / Re: BURBAGE Family in Melksham
« on: Sunday 28 May 06 22:28 BST (UK) »
Hello all...I am a late comer to this post...My great great grandmother was Mary Burbidge born Keevil in about 1809.
Living only 60 miles away from Keevil ,we wandered down there today to the church and found three 'box type' Burbidge tombs to the left of the gate as you walked up the path.
As you may understand,the inscriptions aren't too readable....but here goes.
Charles Burbidge departed this life February 7th.,1768 aged 59 years and Joan his wife departed this life January 19th.,1796 aged 69
also near this place lies the bodies of Ann,George ,Charles and Robert sons and daughters of Charles and Joan
On another
Andrew Burbidge died October 18th,1829 aged 64 years
next to the above inscription S ?? wife of William Burbidge Died August 6th.,1840 (?)aged 70 years
On another
Ann Died June 176? in the 9th(?) year of here life
George Died November 1769
Charles died October 1786 aged 69 years (it said something 9 and it looked like 69)
Robert ...unreadable
On another Elias Burbidge 1780 58th ? year of his life?
It seemed that the family were quite well off as the tombs were quite sophisticated..any ideas on what they did?
I have taken some photos of the church and the tombs..sadly,they're on 35mm so will be put on cd before I can email them to any interested listees.
Meanwhile ,if anyone has my great great grandmother, Mary,born Keevil in about 1809 on their list,please let me know her parents/grandparents details.She married James Lewis in Hereford in 1832 and lived in Garway in Herefordshire for much of her life.
Thanks in advance

Good afternoon,
I'm sorry if I'm asking a silly question but I subscribe to Ancestry.co.uk
and am looking for births marriages and deaths after 1901.
For example,I am trying to find my Dad's uncles' death.I know he was alive in 1916 because his son was killed in action and he's mentioned
on the Commonwealth war graves site as being the father (and not the late father)
He was born in 1868 so into the search boxes I put 'lived between 1916 and 1968' hoping it will find anyone of that name between 1916 and 1968.It comes up with entries between 1984 and 2004 but nothing between 1916 and 1968.
I don't really want to trawl through all the books quarter by quarter
but it looks as though I'll have to.
Thanks in advance
