World War Two / Re: RAF cloth badges
« on: Monday 13 March 23 13:17 GMT (UK)  »
The eagles were always facing backwards regardless of which side they were, they came as a pair. Women could be and were LACs in WW2. The rank no longer exists in the modern RAF and in fact the other ranks (those not commisioned officers) are now known as aviators instead of aircraftmen/women.

I think the man's sign says Charles Ironclad, i do know there were a type of shipscalled ironclads in the 1800s which were used during the American Civil War but that may be a red herring.

Technical Help / Re: Ready print
« on: Tuesday 07 March 23 11:38 GMT (UK)  »
I have a similar subscription with HP and know that they look at my printer around the first of a month to see how many pages I have printed, so I leave it on for a few hours on that day. As far as ink levels are concerned I think the printer is looked at whenever it is on and ink is sent if required, I don't think you need worry about keeping yours switched off until you need to print.

Have you tried looking for Janet instead of Jessie and searching on both her maiden and married name?

The Common Room / Re: 1939 register - how do I know who is redacted?

The Register was updated by the NHS until 1991 so he could easily be the redacted entry.

Scotland / Re: What I didn't know about searching on ScotlandsPeople
« on: Tuesday 12 July 22 11:22 BST (UK)  »
The other problem is of course that you can call yourself anything you want as long as it not for the purpose of fraud. When it comes to registering a death the person doing it can only give the details they know and could easily be false.

Devon / Re: Where was "outbounds" in Devonport (plymouth dock)
« on: Sunday 03 July 22 10:30 BST (UK)  »
To the Royal Navy shore establishments or 'stone frigates' are ships so 'outbounds' may be related to that, perhaps he was living somewhere which was not classed as part of the stone frigate.
