Europe / Passenger Lists
« on: Monday 17 October 11 20:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
Is there anywhere else apart from 'ancestry' that has passenger lists/ships crews/alien arrivals?

I am trying to find out when my MEINECKE ancestors came into the country from Germany. I have searched on and off for quite some while now when I discovered that a F Meineicke arrived in Hull (England Alien Arrivals). This just could be a link.

I am looking for a Ludwig Meinecke (b. 1831) and his wife Beta (there is a Liva arrived in Hull on the Hamburg passenger list??). Also sister Freiderike, mother Johanna (b. abt 1790) and daughter Johanne (b. 1855). Freiderike married a Geisler.
German links are from Bremen. Later finds have them linked to Hull, Yorkshire, but daughter Johanne married in London.

I have found these tentative links on ancestory, but have been unable to view any details. Just wondered where else to look.

Regards,
gill

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / THE MOUNT HESSLE
« on: Thursday 18 November 10 21:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,
I'm just getting around to sorting out information that I found a while ago but haven't got on my family tree yet.
I have information regarding my great aunt on the 1911 census; she was a housemaid at The Mount, Hessle, Yorkshire.
The informatiom I have gives the name of four servants and I am assuming that this is only part of the household. Does anyone have the full details of the household. I would be interested to see it. But mainly I would like to know what sort of a household it was. I have been unable to find any mention of The Mount on other censuses. There is a school called Hessle Mount, I believe, today, and I wonder if it always been a school and if it is the same place.
My great aunt was Louie ASSERT (altho' noted as Louisa on the 1911 census)

Thanks and Regards
Gill

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / 1841/1851 Look up please HODGE
« on: Sunday 19 September 10 15:57 BST (UK)  »
Could anyone please do a look up for my ancester in he censuses.
I am desperate to find out some information about him and have not been able to.
He is JAMES HODGE.
His son William Hodge was born in North Cave, nr Hull, Yorkshire in 1831, so assume they lived around that area. william's marriage certificate gives his father's occupation as Miller.
That's all I have!

Any help would be gratefully received.

Regards,
Gill

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Family Tree Maker
« on: Thursday 12 August 10 19:45 BST (UK)  »
I have used the Family Search PAF program for quite a number of years, but have now become more and more frustrated with the problems I've been having recently. I am looking to purchase another program. Family Tree Maker seems to be a very popular choice of members here. But I wonder if someone could answer some questions (that are probably very obvious!)

Are the Family Tree Maker linked to Ancestory and the 'Who do you think you are' Family Tree Maker the same thing?
Do you need a subscription to Ancestory to access all the features?
Any recommendations/hints/advice?

Thanks
Gill

World War Two / WW2 RAF 36 & 39 Squadrons
« on: Thursday 08 October 09 10:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
My dad was in the above squadrons in the WW2. I know he went  to South Africa, Egypt and Italy as I have some photographs. But I would love to actually track his RAF career. I do have his Raf military number.
What would be the best was to track when and where the squadron went?

Thank You, Gill

PS
I am also hoping to do the similar thing for my grandad who was in the DLI. He was in the 23rd division, I believe, in the 'Bantams'. I have started trying to track down information, but am finding it rather difficult

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Sudden Death
« on: Sunday 31 May 09 17:19 BST (UK)  »
I have an ancestor who died one day after marrying at the age of 32, in 1877.

The death certificate was signed by a coroner. Where would I go to discover more details.
And how would I find out if there was a will?

Thanks, Gill
