Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Hanson Family
« on: Thursday 27 May 21 15:46 BST (UK)  »
There is a John Hanson born in Sunderland showing as a visitor in a hotel in Ticehurst, East Sussex who doesn’t appear to have anyone with the same surname with him.

Do any of the other guests names look familiar.

The Common Room / Re: Family Heirlooms
« on: Thursday 27 May 21 14:56 BST (UK)  »
We have 2 cups from my great grandmothers tea set, sadly no more survived.  Also a small brass pig with space to store matches and a strike plate on his tummy.  Sadly the Christening gown from my husbands side was passed onto a member of the family who didn’t have any children.  Hopefully it will stay in the family. But the item which puzzles us most is a silver trophy which was never engraved, as yet searching online newspapers hasn’t given any answers.

That’s what I was seeing but I needed a second opinion.

I wonder if is a house name within your school you remember.  This may account for the tie.  I’m aware of a couple of schools local to me where the children have different ties according to which house they’re in.

Hi

This link should take you to schools in the Birmingham area including Castle Bromwich.  It’s rather long but you might see something you recognise, it’s searchable.

Armed Forces / Re: Would men stationed in India in the late 1800s travel back to England sometimes?

Hi

It’s possible my husbands great grandfather was in the Shropshire Light Infantry, he was also stationed in India. He fails to appear on UK censuses for 20 years yet there are children born in the UK. When I finally got his military record it showed that he returned a few times over this time period.

How long did you have to marry after the Banns were published? Could the wedding have taken place but later.
