Derbyshire / John LANE
« on: Thursday 08 May 14 11:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm trying to find out about John Lane, who I believe was born in Willington in Derbyshire around about 1832-34. I would love to know his date of birth.

I would also be interested to know anything with regard to his parents, who I thin are Thomas and Ann(e) Lane. I have no idea of Ann(e)'s maiden name.

Many thanks

World War Two / 69th Field Regiment
« on: Wednesday 07 May 14 13:49 BST (UK)  »
According to my father's marriage certificate dated July 1943, he was a gunner serving in the 69th Field Regiment, RA, stationed in Monmouth, Wales.

I have been trying to find some information about my father's war time service, but I'm encountering difficulties in discovering where this unit served following D-Day.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to progress this?

Family History Beginners Board / Northfleet Disaster
« on: Thursday 10 April 14 20:22 BST (UK)  »
Two of my Great Great Grandparents were drowned in the English Channel, when in January 1873 the British registered Northfleet, which was carrying labourers to Tasmania to build the Hobart railway, sank following a collision. To the best of my knowledge the bodies were never recovered. One of their young daughters was one of the few to survive. Over 200 perished.

I have found a record of their deaths at the National Archives, but have been unable to obtain death certificates from the GRO. How does one obtain death certificates for those drowned at sea?

Family History Beginners Board / Wandsworth Prison
« on: Wednesday 09 April 14 18:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi

According to the 1911 census, my Great Grandfather was an inmate in Wandsworth Prison at the time of the census. For obvious reasons, I would like to know the details behind his conviction. I would therefore welcome suggestions, as to how I go about finding the details of his arrest, trial and conviction. I assume that there are records of prisoners in Wandsworth, in particular when they were imprisoned, why they were imprisoned, and when they were released. Any ideas about how I access these records?
