The Lighter Side / Brick Wall
« on: Tuesday 09 August 22 19:26 BST (UK)  »
Many researchers hit a brick wall when a forebear seems to disappear without trace at some point in  adulthood.
My problem is that my elusive forebear - born in England according to 1891/1901 census appears for the first time in 1885 (his marriage) and I have all the information about him until he dies in 1910 - zilch before 1885.

(Am not posting his name as have done in the past and no one has been able to trace him before 1885.)

 The only reason I can think of for my not finding him is that he changed his name at some point - can anyone suggest another reason why he is so elusive?

Family History Beginners Board / Three Counties Asylum Stotfield Biggleswade
« on: Friday 24 June 22 16:18 BST (UK)  »
Would Asylum patients be listed on the 1881 census or were Hospital patients (and Prison Inmates) not listed on the 1871-81 censuses?

Family History Beginners Board / 17 November 1852
« on: Thursday 02 June 22 11:28 BST (UK)  »
I have his date of birth but no name!   17/11/1852
Place of birth Whittlesea Cambridgeshire.
 
Are the baptismal records for St Mary's Whittlesea available for that period - hopefully noting a 17/11/1852 birth ?

The first sighting of this guy was in 1885 when he got married and I have him on the 1891 census.  He died in 1910.   Done a load of searching to try to find him pre 1885 but nothing - come to the conclusion he changed his name before 1885 to the one he subsequently used.  Hoping to find his original name.   Thanks.

Family History Beginners Board / Closed records 100 years.
« on: Thursday 05 May 22 19:41 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the history of a local school football team and hoping to find the dates-of-birth of the team members.
I have located the School Leavers Book at the local Archives and have been told I can access this Register.
The years I am interested in are 1938-1940.

I thought the Register may be covered by the 100 year closure rule but apparently not. 

What exactly is closed for 100 years and what is not ?
