Armed Forces / 1892
« on: Saturday 07 May 11 17:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I wonder if anyone knows why my ancestor (Charles Powling born 1873) signed up to join the army in 1892. I have found a war record of him joining but cant seem to find out if there was a war on at the time as it seems to be in between the 2 Boer wars!!
If he was in the army where can I find out about him in a census? He married Agnes Blanche Hepper in 1902 so I will have to wait for the next census to see about them!

Help again!!! going around in circles as usual :-\ I have come across two choices of a Smith Willmott married to Sophia Willmott, one Smith born in 1821 Northamptonshire and the other one 1817/1818 same place!! I was following William John Willmott married to Beatrice E Sallis. Is this the same man????

Family History Beginners Board / nurse child
« on: Monday 04 April 11 20:56 BST (UK)  »
I have come across a nurse child on a census for 1861. It seems that this name was given to children who were looked after by someone else for a small fee. When I look at the next census this child has been adopted, he was born in America and was 5 years old on the 1861 census, is there any records for adoption?

Family History Beginners Board / Hepper
« on: Sunday 27 March 11 20:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi it is me again, researching my family tree, I am giving the Willmotts a rest and have now gone to my fathers side, stumbling block again, my grandfather Charles Powling married a Agnes Blanche Hepper, I have her date of birth and when she died but seem to stumble over who her parents were as I cannot seem to find any census about them. I know her father was John as it is on the marriage certificate. I have found a Hepper John  who married a Sarah Ann Hollaway. The problem is I cannot find any other Heppers apart from this family, he came from Germany originally and she was from Lambeth. How do I find out that I am not on the wrong route??

Can someone advice me please, why do I sometimes manage to find a relative on a census/birth record but cannot seem to find the actual birth with a record of the mothers maiden name. Should I apply for a birth certificate?? ??? I then get stuck as can not get any further..Jacky

Hi have just found this site when I was looking to find out what a "leather dresser" was so thought is would be a good site to join. I am researching both my mother and my father's side so will keep me busy no doubt!! ;D
