Does anybody know of the County Hotel, Newcastle?  Is it still there, or has it been renamed?  I am hoping to find out about some meetings that were held there in the 1930s.  Hopefully somebody will have kept records, but probably not.

Already posted about my grandfather, but would be really grateful if anybody could supply me with futher information that I already have.  Thomas was in the Warwickshire Regt from 1901 to 1917.  He was wounded at some time, and in the Labour Corps before being discharged.

I know that he was reported missing twice, so presumably his next of kin would be on his army records. 

When the soldiers were wounded when in France, did they stay in hospitals over there until totally recovered, or were they transferred over to England?  If so, were there certain hospitals for certain regts, or just the hosital with the most places available?  Were the records kept of the injuries in the hospitals?

Hope somebody can help

I'm looking for anybody who has Robert Main in their family tree.  He is the one born in 1854, not the one born in 1850.  I made that mistake and followed a trail all the way to Tasmania, then realised it was the wrong Robert.

I've sent for his marriage certificate, hopefully to find out his parent's names.  He has proved very elusive.  I think his mother could have been married 3 times, eventually becoming Mary Hall, living in Igborough.

Has anybody ever been there?  I think my great grandfather was an orphan there in 1861, and would like to verify it.
Would it be easier to write to them for records, or do you have to go in person?

I am hoping someone can find Robert Main b1850 in the records somewhere.  He was born in Great Cressingham, Norfolk. His parents Judd Macrow and Marianne Maine emigrated in 1857 with four children on the Southern Eagle. I am hoping that his name will appear on the list. He had his mothers name, as did his brother William, though Judd was names as parent on their birth record. If Robert did go to Tasmania with them, he came back here and married my great grandmother.
He is on our census records from 1881 again.  I wouldn't like to think he was left behind, but it's looking that way, because there's an R M registered in 1861 as an orphan aged 9.  Hope somebody can help.  Apparently Judd and Marianne settled on Mount Pleasant, Don.Penguin wherever that may be.
