The Common Room / Where was William BINGLOW ?
« on: Thursday 06 April 23 22:12 BST (UK)  »
27 march 1875
William Binglow a.23year old earth extractor father (George Binglow railway labourer ) deceased
married
Elizabeth Ann JANE 22yr old  machine wool comber
Father John JANE tin miner

In Parish church of Bradford
I think their respective addresses are
 Clayton Heights Claughton
+ Sandbeds Claughton

Their witnesses were Frederick Christmas + Elizabeth Kendell all 4 left their marks

17 Feb 1876 their daughter Mary Jane Binglow was born in Queensberry Yorkshire

In 1881 Elizabeth Ann JANE returned to Cornwall and is living with her father and Mary
Jane JANE  (not using Binglow surname )

3 more Binglow children are born in Cornwall before 1891

She is then listed as married with all 4 Bingalow children and her father

By 1901 she is head of household still in Cornwall listed as widow with William.H 19 John A 16 + Sidonia L Binglow 11

But where was their father all this time .?
Every time I search I get BINGLEY suggestions

The Common Room / Every little help can lead somewhere
« on: Wednesday 15 March 23 18:54 GMT (UK)  »
I'm feeling flushed having been able to not only  identify my friends African grandfather but also trace descendants of some of his children and Reunite cousins who'd lost contact or never known each other .

Rootschatters on boards and in chatrooms have helped in ways they may consider small but gave vital  clues or advice

I'm very slow at looking for BMD and it's delicate when living people are concerned
The children were born between 1927and 1947
3 are known deceased

Help with handwriting on a clip of 1939 register led to finding mothers remarriage
And eldest daughters married name DAVIES
A 1 month old baby Davies Is buried with his grandfather our mystery man

Burial also has a middle initial J which helped distinguish him from all the other Jacob JOHNSON s in Wales and on ships

Still more to discover.

This kind of success story would not be possible without help from you lovely lot

Technical Help / Fixing a cover photo to Ancestry trees
« on: Tuesday 14 March 23 22:57 GMT (UK)  »
I feel like I should know this or be able to find the answer on Ancestry help

I have several trees and the photo changes on tree  overview frequently + tends to be most recent picture I've added to gallery so could be a distant relative

Other peoples tree overviews seem to maintain a cover picture

I'd like to be able to choose which picture appears on each tree.


Hope that makes sense .
+ That someone can explain in simple terms how to do it .

Or maybe that's how the trees appear to me but to others they appear with a profile picture

I don't understand all the crossings out or which is supposed to be the first name .
It could be a Ghanaian name . Clerk

Can't find anyone of similar name elsewhere

Violet  married Milovan Bogidovic
+ Her daughter rose married Davies



But there seem to be a lot of crossings out  and annotations for all of them

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Wife's occupation in 1861
« on: Thursday 09 March 23 16:51 GMT (UK)  »

Can anyone read what is the profession of the wife please

In 1851 and 1871 the husband was a carpenter here I think he.s classed as a builder master ? Employing 1 man 1
boy

Eldest daughter is an assistant teacher in 1871

Could the wife be some kind of teacher too
Looks like first word could be bible but last word looks more like breaker than teacher

The Common Room / Christopher Myngs
« on: Tuesday 07 March 23 23:43 GMT (UK)  »
Pirate or buccaneer
Has anyone  come across this family ?

A DNA match to my brother in law informed
Me

"Anna Maria Myngs isgreat granddaughter of the pirate/privateer and naval officer Sir Christopher Myngs. Her father died in 1764 and from then on until at least the 1900’s the eldest son in each generation was called Benjamin Christopher Bloomfield/Blomfield.

He'd love to have a pirate in his tree but I can't joing the dots between Anna Maria Myng/MYNGS /MYNGE B 1732  mother of Benjamin Christopher Blomfield 1764
and her forbears beyond her parents Christopher myngs + Mary Wild ..if that baptism is correct
