United States of America / How do I find this book in Ancestry?
« on: Sunday 26 September 21 06:16 BST (UK)  »
I have found a reference to a book that may have info on my family.  It is called "The good old times in McLean County, Illinois".  It can up as a suggested record for my ancestor James Reyburn when I did a public member tree search on ancestry.  I don't have a US subscription but can access it through my local library but I can't find the book listed in their catalogue (which is hopeless) and I don't know how to get access to it.
Can anyone suggest some avenues I could try?
Thanks

Inverness / Trouble reading marriage place.
« on: Wednesday 20 January 21 22:35 GMT (UK)  »
I have attached a copy of the marriage of John Grant and Elspet Murray on 15.9.1796 in the parish of Abernethy and Kincardine.  Could anyone tell me where John Grant was from?  Am I right in thinking it was Backharn?  If so, where was this?
Many thanks for any assistance

England / Land transactions records 1800s
« on: Monday 04 January 21 03:34 GMT (UK)  »
Would anyone know if there is a central repository for land transactions in the 1800s?  My ancestor is shown as a freeholder in the 1840 tithe for Hawkesbury, Gloucestershire and I would like to know when the land was purchased and price etc.  I have enquired at the Gloucestershire, Bristol and Wiltshire Archives but they are unable to help me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Technical Help / Rotate sideways pdf doc?
« on: Monday 30 November 20 20:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I have three pdf pages of a document sent to me by a Record Office in England of a inventory from 1588.  It was scanned sideways and I can't figure out a way to rotate it.  I used screen hunter to copy it and then rotate it but the result is a bit blurry.
Would anyone know of a way to rotate the original pdfs?
Many thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1588 Latin help please
« on: Monday 30 November 20 07:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Could anyone please give me the gist of the attached.  It is the top part of the Court Paper that is lodged with the inventory of John Boorman, gent, of Brading, Isle of Wight.  It is dated 1588 I believe.  I'm hoping it may mention his wife and children's names but they may be in the bottom part of the document which I can also post.
Many thanks
