The Common Room / Re: Pharoah Singh
« on: Wednesday 25 January 17 10:37 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for your response. His occupation is given as a carpenter and they married in the registry office in Paddington, London in 1912. I can't find him in the 1911 census or any census but he is in the 1918 electoral register.

The Common Room / Pharoah Singh
« on: Wednesday 25 January 17 10:13 GMT (UK)  »
I can find a marriage to my grandmother, Hannah Clara Mendenhall, in England  and his death, but no record of his birth in about 1890, passenger lists or any census records or any other records at all. Pharoah's father is listed as Baru Singh. Perhaps Pharoah was born in India? Wouldn't there be a record of his arrival in the U.K somewhere though? Does anyone know how to research Indian record? Many thanks for your help.

The Common Room / Anthony Carroll and Honora Dooling
« on: Monday 23 January 17 09:54 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find out a bit more about Mary Carroll the daughter of Anthony Carroll and Honora Dooling who I believe were from Ireland and migrated to Victoria, Australia in the mid 1800's. Mary married Patrick Quinn in Victoria in 1869 but prior to that, I can't find any information about her. Family legend is that the family were from County Wicklow but I can't find any evidence to support that. Honora Carroll died in Victoria but there is no record of Anthony. Many thanks for your help

Down / McGinty/McGanty family
« on: Sunday 16 October 16 03:38 BST (UK)  »
James McGinty or McGanty was born in Downpatrick circa 1824 and moved with his wife, Jane born circa 1820 Downpatrick, and children to Lancashire some time between 1858 and 1871. Is there any way I can find out more about the family in Ireland and the ship they sailed on to England's? Many thanks.

Lancashire / WW2 commendations Liverpool
« on: Sunday 16 October 16 03:27 BST (UK)  »
Henry (Harry) Spencer worked for the Liverpool Gas Works and received a commendation in WW2 for brave conduct in civil defence which is mentioned in the Liverpool Daily Post 25th Jan 1941. Family stories say that he removed an unexploded bomb from a gas tank in the street and saved the whole street from being destroyed, although this seems unlikely. Is there anywhere that I can find out what he actually did do to receive the commendation? Many thanks.

The Common Room / Bancroft Sewell connection (Lancashire/Cumberland)
« on: Saturday 10 September 16 02:18 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for a connection between John Bancroft, his wife Frances Christopherson and the Sewell name. John (1827-1892) md Frances (1827-1873) in 1853 in Manchester and two of their seven children, George and Isabel, were given the middle name of Sewell. George also named his son George Sewell Bancroft. I know the use of a surname ( often the mother's maiden name) was quite popular but I've been unable find any Sewells in either families background to date. Many thanks for your help.
