I have a 1897 silver fob engraved with fancy ornate initials, but the trouble is they are too fancy! I can't make them out. I don't know which member of my family it belonged to, so the initials should give me a clue.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

My grandmother had these two glass plates in her possession, which I now have. I don't know who they are but I am guessing they were her grandparents.

Jesse Warhurst was born in 1798 and died in 1870. His wife Charlotte Smith was born 1814 and died in 1880. I believe these glass plate pictures were only popular in the 1850s/1860s, so would their ages tie in with this? Can anyone suggest the ages of this couple and the time period the pictures were taken?

The plate of the woman has survived very well, but the man's plate is faded and a corner has broken off. My grandmother's mother had a print taken off the man's picture which again suggests it was her parents.

I have had rude comments about the lady in the picture, but she probably had a hard life! The family were not well off and I am surprised that they were able to have these plates made. Would they have been expensive?

Thank you to anyone who can help.

Could anyone look up a marriage for me at St Nicholas' church, Liverpool?

I am looking for more details regarding the following marriage:

Joseph Moore and Mary Rathbone, married 17th August 1824

I am particularly interested in whether Mary was a widow.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Could anybody look up the christening of any children born to John and Mary Brewer from 1805 in the Witheridge Parish Records.

Also I have found the marriage details for the above John and Mary on the IGI records, (17th February 1805, Witheridge) but there are two entries giving Mary's surname as Wadden or Crook. Could someone find which one is correct, please?

Thank you,

Hi,

Could anyone look for a baptism in Chippenham in 1795 for a Ann Downing. I am also looking for her parents and any possible siblings.

Thank you.
