Anyone else had a problem recently when trying to pay for Wills ordered on Gov.UK website ?  I have ordered many Wills from their website in past years without any problem.  However the 'new' service they seem to have brings up an Error message when attempting to pay and place order.   I have sent number of e-mails to the e-mail address they ask to be used for feed back, but I get a different person responding each time (it's probably run by AI anyway !) with misleading and contradictory messages, no help at all.  I completed the application forms for 2 Wills and sent in post and tried finding out if they had been received but again, no helpful / useful response.  Want to know if just me having problem and it might be virus protection software causing a problem when trying to pay.

I would love to be able to find Charlotte (known as Lottie) was Hunt, married Fisher on 1901 and 1911 census.  The excellent folks on this website helped me confirm her illegitimate son born 1899 (Francis Henry Baylis Fisher) and she had left her husband / family by 1901.  Haven't found her on either census.  I have a postcard from her in 1907 from Swansea, Wales where she might have been working as Housekeeper.  She lived with or married? an older man, so by say 1915 and he owned a fruit shop and they lived in Birchfield, Birmingham - according to my father anyway.   I have discovered so much about her son FHBF,  since the help from this website, being in touch with his descendants and even discovering his father and his descendants.  But where was Lottie ?

This is perhaps a long shot, hoping someone can find information for me on who owned Boughton House prior to and in 1927, but I know the folks on here are so knowledgeable.
I know that Boughton House is now owned by the Worcester Golf and Country Club, bought in 1927.
In my husband's family is John Samuel Cook, JP, Alderman, High Sheriff, Chief Magistrate, to name but a few of his titles, who died in 1927.    In his Will he says :  To my wife Louisa for free use and enjoyment for her life, my private residence Boughton House.   Elsewhere he says the house should be valued and offered for sale if she does not wish to live there.   So it would appear he owns Boughton House, and not just renting.   However the Golf Club have a leaflet giving the history of the house and it says the house was bought from the Isaac family, no mention of JSC.   I have tried to find information from someone at Worcester Records Office and the Hive but not getting anywhere.   What records do you think must be available giving the name of the owner at this time ?  I understand he certainly lived there from 1922, though do not know when he first took up residence.

I have been trying to find any 1st WW records for Frank Henry Edgington born  1877 Worcester, wife Amy Elizabeth nee Roberts, thought to be living in Birmingham after 1886.  I understand he was in the Royal Flying Corp and joined up 1916.  A relative said he was in Salonica.   Any help much appreciated.

I have just noticed you can join Forces War Records website for £8 a month so maybe joining for 1 month might be the answer ?  Would I find all available records for him there ?

I would like to know more about Sidmouth Catholic Convent, as a child from the family I am researching was placed there, child born 1893 though not sure when she was sent / left there.   Did they take in orphan children, abandoned babies, was it a school as well, any photos of the convent etc.   I don't think she was an orphan though the 'family tale' was that she was left on the Priest's doorstep and taken in to the convent.  I would like to find out what really happened !  She is there on 1901 census.
