 Hi l have recently found a 1901 census  with somone lm researching,,, by the name of Albert Hunt,, on the 1901 it says birthplace Hampshire Portsmouth 1864,,he married a lady by the name of Mary August Reeves in Monmouth 1886,, but on the  1911 it says he was born cefalonia Greece,, could it be possible that he was Greek and maybe changed his name,, maybe arrived in Portsmouth??? Thanks eda

Hi recently l found this record,, it's my husbands grandfather it gives his photo and a number  403094, gives his name as John mulligan b 1889 Birkenhead,, would l get anymore info from this record it only gives dates in 1921,
Thankyou eda

Would there be a list of deserters from the army camp in crowbourgh poss in terratorials 1916

Hi l hope lm not repeating this question,,, my memory is a bit foggy..
      So here goes, lm trying to find just what happened to this man, he was born 1884 John William milligan Poulton Cum Seacombe, his father was Robert milligan, mother Margaret Parker, by 1901 he was 17yrs and a Dock labourer, lm tryi g to find a possible marriage and death,, thankyou eda

After years of searching for my husbands grandfather with no luck, my husband decided to do a dna test,, the paper work and following other trees on ancestry proved we had the wrong man,
My husband never believed it was him anyway just not enough evidence but others clung onto this man as it was the nearest they could get, so now it's on ancestry and gets me so mad because it's, wrong,, the dna points to mulligan family from swineford Ireland lm in touch with a few dna connections one has let me have access to her tree, my problem is the families are huge 16 children and most left for America,, our grandfather gave his date of birth as 1885,1887 he lived in Birkenhead most of his life we have him on 1939 register and his marriage cert,, we also have him around 1917 on the police gazzette, it gives his birth as 1871or 1877 not easy to read, he was supposed to have absconded from his station in balcombe after he got grandma pregnant, he also joined the merchant ships after he absconded, we knew him as Sydney John milligan,, but under this name he cannot be found my husbands father told him he thought his father changed his name,,
