The Lighter Side / Census Graffiti
« on: Saturday 05 April 14 13:11 BST (UK)  »
While looking at a census today, I came upon this piece of graffiti! :o

Anybody seen anything like this before?
Wonder if it was a comment on the family?! ;D ;D

The Common Room / Professional Genealogist sought!
« on: Friday 13 December 13 00:00 GMT (UK)  »
My daughter recently gave birth to twins in Bristol.
This makes the 4th generation in a row of twins in my family! :D

I contacted Guiness World Records (they currently have 2 families with 4 generations of twins) but, in addition to certificates, they also require "Expert Witness" statements?!


So, I am looking for a qualified, professional genealogist who would be willing to submit an Expert Statement verifying the twins in my family.
I have all the dates, and certificates, of birth and marriage - I just need an expert to verify.

Can any RCer offer such a service, or recommend such a person?

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Bures St Mary - Garrad (1550-1600)
« on: Thursday 12 December 13 23:36 GMT (UK)  »
I have my Garrad line back to the mid-1500's, with this family:

Father: John Garar(?) 1550-1617
Ann Garrad, 1582-1582
John Garrad, 1582-1655
Katherine Garrad, 1590-1617
Margaret Garrad, 1592-?
Edward Garrad, 1594-?

What I don't have is the mother's name, or John (snr) parents.

My tree is very well documented (not all my own work!) - but just wondering if there was anything earlier?

Thanks in advance.

The Common Room / Unusual Birth Certificate?
« on: Monday 02 December 13 08:26 GMT (UK)  »
Going through the family shoebox, I found a "birth certificate" on flimsy paper, looking more like a receipt?

I have attached an image - Mod's if this isn't allowed, then I will have to post bits!

Can anyone tell me - was this a 1930's form of a Short Birth Certificate?
Anyone seen one like this before?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / FDA bans 23andme personal genetic tests
« on: Tuesday 26 November 13 17:07 GMT (UK)  »
The US Food and Drug Administration has imposed a ban on a company offering personal genetic screening to the general public.

Google-backed 23andme has been ordered to "immediately discontinue" selling its saliva-collection tests after failing to provide information to back its marketing claims.

London and Middlesex / Catherine Ryle, b 1900
« on: Tuesday 19 November 13 19:49 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to help somebody with this lady, who was the mother of Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien - better known as Dusty Springfield!

Apparently she left Ireland at the age of 16 or 18 to come to London to work in a bank?

Does anyone have any resources to know what she was up to between arriving in London, and her marriage in 1931 to Gerard Anthony O'Brien?

Tyrone / O'Reilly-Murray marriage, Cookstown
« on: Wednesday 14 August 13 11:01 BST (UK)  »
According to a later Scottish Birth Certificate, Patrick O'Reilly and Mary Murray were married on 1st June 1884 in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone.

The family were Roman Catholic - or at least their son Francis was baptised as such in Glasgow, in 1895.

A search on the Civil Registrations Index shows a Mary Murray married in Cookstown in 1883, but I can't find anything in 1884?
Furthermore, there appear to be 7 names on that page! (Vol 1, page 531).

Can anyone find the marriage?
