Berkshire Completed Look ups / Sonning Parish Register Look-up
« on: Saturday 18 March 06 23:09 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone look up the christening of Sophia Piggott in Sonning please?

Two census entries result in the years 1803 & 1804.
Her burial certificate indicates 1812.

Personally I favour the earlier dates.

...maybe I need to post this on the Oxfordshire Board?

Many thanks

Hertfordshire / Why would my Herts ancestor have visited Rockport, Illinois?
« on: Saturday 14 January 06 21:42 GMT (UK)  »
My great grandfather worked for John Dickinson & Co at Croxley as chief cashier abt 1885 to 1920ish.  Inside his pocket watch is a repair slip with his name and Rockport, Illinois on it.   I don't think he went there on holiday - I'm sure we would know about that!  Does anybody know of any links with the company and Illinois?  I have looked in 'The Endless Web' by Joan Evans to no avail.   

Many thanks

Aberdeenshire / Inscription initials, Aberdeen
« on: Thursday 22 December 05 12:48 GMT (UK)  »
I have a pair of field glasses with the inscription -

" PRESENTED TO Sergt Jas Coutts JULY 1885 BY THE OFFICERS & NON COMMND. OFFICERS No. 2 COY. 1st  A.E.V."  Made in Aberdeen by Berry & Makay.

Can skp tell me what 'A E V' stands for?  I presume it is Aberdeen (something) Volunteers.

Many thanks
