« on: Sunday 19 November 17 16:29 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone could help with deciphering the surname of this family on the 1891 Census at Bethnal Green. An****** as it as Crocker but I cannot find this family on any other Census.

I am after Ellen Johnson born in Bethnal Green in abt 1877 who is down as Niece to Caroline Crocker.

Graveyards and Gravestones / Speadsheet for Graveyard Memorials
« on: Friday 16 June 17 16:38 BST (UK)  »
Is there a spreadsheet available for memorial headstones in a cemetery.
I would like to have the following headings.

Grave Number
Memorial Inscription
Grave location
Hyperlink to photograph.
Burial Date

I have started using a basic excel spreadsheet but I cannot get the sort link for surname or burial date to work. I have the memorial info as on the headstone, some stones may have up to 10 lines on. I think this is the problem.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Date of Frost Family Photos
« on: Saturday 01 April 17 16:27 BST (UK)  »
I am tracing the history of our cottage. I was given these photographs by a descendant saying that they were of Mum and Dad with their 4 daughters.
Father was born 1822 died 1885
Mother born  1821
Mary Ann born 1850
Emma born 1853 but died 1865
Eliza born 1859
Elizabeth born 1868

The photos were individual placed behind a card. To me each photo must had been taken at different dates if they are of the correct family.

Could someone please date the individual people.

Europe / Danish to English
« on: Thursday 14 May 15 16:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

All these Danish to English requests by w.kevin.kline.ii are getting on my nerves to be polite.

They either should be stopped or put in a new section under heading.

London and Middlesex / Upper Holloway Infirmary
« on: Thursday 30 October 14 16:34 GMT (UK)  »

Tracing my grandfather has been a problem due to the common name.

I believe my ancestor Edward Hill may be in the St Johns Rd, Upper Holloway Infirmary in 1901.

1901 Census St Mary Parish his condition is Feeble minded aged 25 (he was 23 at the time).

Could you please tell me what records are available for him at the London Metropolitan Archives.

Peter
