Hi,

I have spoken to FindMyPast about this and been told it is the new viewer being rolled out to all customers. There is no plan at the moment to give the option to disable it permanently as per Ancestry.
But my opinions have been noted for future reference...

The Common Room / Age of a witness?
« on: Sunday 10 February 19 12:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Would any one know if there was a minimum age requirement for a marriage witness in 1827 England?

After years of searching I've found a possible marriage for my people but it would mean the groom's 19 year old brother was a witness.

Thanks

Hi Annette,

An interesting suggestion and not one I had considered. Edith may have died pre 1914 but I've found no records for her death.

But then why put 2 children in an orphanage and not the 3rd?

Hi All,

Thanks for all the work you have been doing on this.

The Ryell family at No. 167 Portland Road seem worth me pursuing. 

Does any one else feel it odd Harry could give DOB for two children on WW1 papers, but just an age for John?

Hi heywood,

You are correct in the marriage. Lesson learnt - type what I know, not what I think I know.

Thanks heywood.

Think it's a red herring now as BMD suggests that child was named Ronald Edward.

Worth a try though.

Can any one read the initial of Mrs Ryall?

I've just found in 1911 Louisa Gertrude Ryall Widow (married crossed out) 36 with a baby son under one month in Crowland Rd, Tottenham. May be a coincidence.

Hi heywood,

We believe that only legitimate children would be taken in to account if the military had to pay compensation to a soldier's widow. Theory is Harry listed the child as his but the army would not count it as a legitimate child.
