Just thought about this, ;D try your local library,most council's subscribe to Ancestry Library Edition,
With ours, You have to be a library member ::), book a PC, £1 for half an hour, print off's extra,
It's a lot cheaper than a subscription,

According to TNA Medal Cards, There are 245 cards for George Armstrong, ::) but only 16 are in the DLI, ;D 13 if he had no middle name,
When looking for my great uncle, I noted all the service numbers down relating to his regiment, Then joined Ancestry on a 14 day trial, Here's the link, Click on each header to expand,then back to return to the list,
Good Luck

« on: Thursday 23 February 12 13:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Alan,Yes I remember you and as you say,It was from a long long time ago,At first I though you were a Hayton but your user name was the clue ;D
I have John on census going back to 1851 but I am unable to track him down for 1871,
If you would like to post a topic on the Westmorland board for him that will get your post count up towards PM,

 
Regards Brian

PS,There are a few skeletons in the cupboard as well ;) ;)

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: 1901 Census, John Richardson
« on: Wednesday 22 February 12 19:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, John Richardson was staying with his niece on the night of the 1901 census at
20,Durham Street,
West Hartlepool,
Co Durham,

PRO Ref RG13/4641,

John Richardson (1848-1919) was my Grt Grt Grandfarther, who's main employment was a carrier, which by todays standard, would be a long distance lorry driver,
He died at Carlisle, but was brought back and buried in Hilton & Murton cemetery,
If you need anymore info about the Richardson's just fire away,

Regards Brian

I often wondered what the proper name was for those people,Up our way they were know as s**t shovellers, ;D this is probably where the phrase "Fell in the you know what"  ::) came from,

What a disgusting subject,over lunch at that,
