Hi all,

I stumbled across the above site today and they seem to have a lot of info at pretty cheap rates - has anyone else used it? Is it worth it? Is it trustworthy with the switchcard details???!!!

The Common Room / Illegitimate child - where to start?
« on: Monday 07 August 06 13:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've just come up against the first child in my tree with no known father and I'd love to hear any suggestions about finding him.

The info I have is:

Elizabeth Ann Bevis, born 10/11/1865 in Ongar Union Workhouse to Sarah Ann Bevis. There is no father recorded on the certificate. Elizabeth gives the name George Bevis on her marriage cert but I think she's made this name up.

Elizabeth's older sister Emma gives the name John Bevis on her wedding cert.

Sarah Ann Bevis had 5 children that I know of and I believe that they were all born in the workhouse. They are:

Emma 1863
Elizabeth Ann 1865
James 1868
George 1873
Joseph 1878

Sarah Ann is listed at being in Ongar workhouse in the 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses. Her place of birth is consistenly given as Willingale Doe. There is a James Bevis in the workhouse too who is of the right sort of age to be Sarah Ann's father.

Thanks very much in advance

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / 1851/61 James Reeve - look up please
« on: Sunday 06 August 06 20:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I'm having trouble finding James Reeve on the 1851/61 censuses and am hoping that a fresh pair of eyes might help :)

The info that I have on him is:

James Reeve born c1849, High Roothing, Essex.

The 1871 census has him living as a servant in Felstead. He married Charlotte Burr in 1873.

There is a possible on the 1861 census that has a place of birth High Roden?? - his place of birth is consistent through 1871-1901 censuses

Thanks in advance

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / A quick clean please?
« on: Thursday 20 July 06 13:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to just even the tone out on this a bit - there seems to be light and dark patches and a bit of a crease.

I'm not sure if the scan is high enough resolution - if not then I'll try an re-scan it tomorrow

Thanks in advance

Caz
