World War One / ALLOWANCE granted to Children : WW1
« on: Tuesday 30 January 24 19:10 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help decipher what this means about allowance to children

Did this man have children from.1916 1919 or not ?

The sentence about disability is crossed out
+ ( he lost 2 fingers )
but the request for information about the children remains unanswered

Could men claim for children born illegitimately in France

I'm trying to work out which of 6 brothers fathered a child near Pas de Calais

The writing is really illegible and there are many pages

The Stay Safe Board / Diary weekending15th October
« on: Monday 09 October 23 12:53 BST (UK)  »
I've not posted for a while so it's quite strange to be the first one posting for this week.
 last week I hibernated just in case I'd caught  covid on my visit to Newport .My foster daughter had it for six days .quite badly. I think this new strain is bad

in Leicester  there's a lot going around. I have friends who have had it so I am taking extra precautions.

I'm going to walk to city centre ...it's downhill all the way . I want to see if I can get council tax support as well as single person discount but find the language baffling and an terrified of pressing the wrong answer and being accused of fraud .

How hard it must be for anyone with dyslexia or a different native language. . So much redtape to follow to get assistance with every day living .

I've decided not to get a TV and save cost of a licence but I really wanted to watch DNA family secrets so had a binge TV watch at my sister's house after a lovely walk in local park on Saturday

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Unexpected parentage (NPE ) could it be sperm.donation
« on: Thursday 31 August 23 09:23 BST (UK)  »
We are now coming up to the era where people  descended from test tube babies could come up as DNA matches

Has anyone else had experience of this?.
My mother matched the child of an American sperm doner

  this procedure has existed in UK since 1958

 I Wonder if there was an age limit for men taking part . ?

& How many mother's thought their children would never learn about this .modern day DNA results could leave their children thinking that they were the result of an affair

The Stay Safe Board / Diary summary week ending 23rd july
« on: Monday 17 July 23 05:07 BST (UK)  »
Hello all
I'm awake ridiculously early .

No dawn chorus yet ... Why not ?

When I officially retire I'd like to learn bird songs and be able to identify some ot them.

Today I'm going to look at a flat...
the one that I'm in is really tiny. single bed  squeeze past shower & kitchen living room not much bigger than a double bed .

 It's quite dark and maybe up for sale.
I've NOY been given notice but people with rooms in the hotel/house that is attached have been leaving and in April there were prospective buyers hovering around .Now there are builders in.

I'm waiting to be sent for an MRI  scan after April & June  dizzy spells .underlying condition vasovagal syncope will continue to be with me .ECG + blood tests all good so this is a precaution .it can take 3 months to get a MRI appointment. So it's hanging over me.

I have joined a writers  group on Facebook &  a whatssap & zoom motivational group   to return to the script about my long lost. Great gran who time travelled into the 21st century.!

I've got a lot of audio clips and videos but need to do a written version  before publication of a book  .
Originally it was to be radio episodes .

A bit too much going  on.
.not to mention premoting the use of Makaton sign language .

The Common Room / Wives of Lords Barons ,+ Knights
« on: Friday 23 June 23 16:12 BST (UK)  »
I'm researching nobility for the first time
Between 1690's to 1800

Can any one help me with what the title of the wives would be
+.if daughters inherited their mother's title if she died

What was correct title for ;

Wife of a knight
Wife of Sir x
Wife of a baron

( When is a LADY a DAME )

If a man had Esq after his name would he be sir J C

1 specific  example is a daughter of a baron
Born just after his death
Apparently the baronetcy was lost because no male heirs
But on her marriage register she is Dame A C
And she married CG  .Esq
The wording on baptism of their son is

" A-c G Son of CG esquire and his lady A "

Family History Beginners Board / Looking for Mary MCKIE
« on: Thursday 22 June 23 10:50 BST (UK)  »
Mary (& her mother also Mary MCKIE )were both left £10 in her uncles Will + Testament in 1940.

So I know she existed

But
I can't find Mary MCKIE jnr on family search ancestry, family search or freebmd

Or any of her family members after 1911 when they were living 55 Hazelbourne Street Balham London

Head  William McKie age 28 mechanical engineer Lanarkshire Scotland
Wife Mary 26  brackenridge MCKIE  Glasgow
Mother in law Mary FREW age 89 Dundee
Son Robert Frew MCKIE 3 Dennistoun Glasgow Scotland
Ellen Florence 3 months 1911 Wandsworth London

What's the best way to find them in 1921 ?
+ 1939

I think the son died in Gravesend 1995
I wonder why he and Florence weren't left anything in the  will

I'm not good at changing search parameters and wonder if Mc possibility of varied spellings is affecting my search .

Extra eyes please ...

Lincolnshire / Chaplins of Tathwell Hall
« on: Wednesday 21 June 23 06:59 BST (UK)  »
Frederick CHAPLIN esquire justice of peace B. 1803 -1863 lived at Tetherhill Hall in 1861
Oops misremembered name will correct posts

His son William Chaplin 1836- 1888 also JP was listed of # Tathwell Hall in a newspaper announcing his death .does that mean that the family owned the hall

A century earlier Sir John CHAPLIN 1711-1730 lived there .
Apparently he was the last baronet in the line having no male heirs but a daughter Ann B 1730

I presume the families are connected and would like to join the dots.

Ancestry tree suggests a father for Frederick as being the reverend William James CHAPLIN  but I can't find documentation

Thanks in advance ...any help welcome
