This sparked my interest as a cousin of mine had Verdun as middle name, not sure if the other Children had but I remember as she only lived to be 3 years old. I remember the tiny coffin was in the house prior to her burial. I was lifted up and asked to kiss her forehead, she looked like a doll dressed in a lovely white gown.
The only time that I have come across this name was "The Battle of Verdun" in 1916.

Added I have just had a look at my other cousins' births and they don't have that middle name. I have just read Victoria's post and she too mentions the Battle,

I remember my Doctor making a visit to the hospital after I had both of my children, Son born in 1971 and Daughter born in 1974. A further visit was made by him after I came home, and the midwife also came to see me at home after both Children were born.

Just to add to what I previously said, The two on the right (one seated and one standing) as you look at the photo are not wearing wedding rings. Alternatively, They could be Railway workers.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) Lookup Requests / Re: Bastardy Recognizance Order
« on: Saturday 23 March 24 13:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Lesley,
I have found a close match on the 1881 census in Hull, Mary was born in Market Weighton so it is in the right area of East Yorkshire.
I have seen several trees on Ancestry with Hannah mentioned but they are all private.
Hope this sheds some light on your query.
I can't attach the snip for some reason as the option is missing  ???
If you want it, send your email address by personal message and I can send it to you.
Surname is Johson and his Christian name is spelt Jhon, (this could be Jonathon)  or, you may be able to find them now

In my opinion this is a 1920s image. Lovely photo. They all look to be wearing the same kind of uniform, do you know what they did for a living. I can't make out the wording. Bus Conductors?

I would say this was mid/late 1890s.

The Lighter Side / Re: Irish immigrants to New York - Potato Famine
« on: Monday 18 March 24 14:29 GMT (UK)  »
That is really interesting, some of my Irish Ancestors emigrated to America after the potato famine, according to passengers lists, they were sponsored by the Catholic Church.
 With common names like Carroll and Monaghan they weren't easy to find, the problem being compounded by the constant changing of spellings in both Christian and Surnames and DOBs were inaccurate. According to one census, one of my ancestors was 23 with a 10 year old Daughter, not impossible, but on a later census showed the right ages.
Anna Monaghan was our last surviving Irish relative who died a spinster in St. Louis, Miss in 1920, she was a Book Binder.
She died Intestate and my Grandmother and two cousins received money from her "Estate"
