Census and Resource Discussion / Death Certificate

« on: Friday 23 February 07 11:51 GMT (UK) »

Hi

Have just received a death cert which states cause of death "Unknown"

this is 1911, seems strange to me, but perhaps wasn't unusual, anyone have any ideas.

Sussex / John Higham, Lewes Baptism Records

« on: Tuesday 16 January 07 22:59 GMT (UK) »

A fellow researcher and I are trying to find the parents of
John Higham b. Lewes abt. 1811 along with (we assume)
his brothers, all living in various locations in North Kent
throughout the census years , they are all Shipwrights / Barge Builders

William b. Lewes 1816
Samuel b. Lewes 1819
Thomas b. Lewes 1826
Sisters, Elizabeth b. Lewes 1809 & Hannah 1830
in turn we are trying to connect them to Robert b. Whitby 1806
parents William & Hannah (IGI only)

We have a Hannah Higham(a widow not b.in county) in Lewes in 41 with
Samuel, Thomas & Hannah.
There seems to be too many coincidences for these people not to be closely related

Just need the baptism records to complete the puzzle, If anyone has access to the
baptism records for Lewes the information would be much appreciated.
Hope this all makes sense.

Census and Resource Discussion / marriage cert.

« on: Friday 29 September 06 14:49 BST (UK) »

Long time since I last put a post up, just need someone else’s thoughts on this,

I have Louisa Bone b. Rochester 1879 with family in 81, 91 and with husband in 1901.

Have copy of parish reg. of marriage, all correct ages, middle names, witness’s
are her brother and sister,( I thought) until you get to father and then it states Harry Bone bricklayer (deceased)
instead of Joseph Bone painter (deceased). I can’t find any other “Bones” that might fit the bill.

Any thoughts

Regards
Mike
