Good day everyone,

I am hoping to locate the cemetery burial locations of some ancestors that lived in Portsea - now Portsmouth, Hampshire.  I have tried to locate an email addresses for the cemeteries but was unsuccessful. I am attempting locate a couple of my Langmaid family members:

Mary Langmaid - died 1852 (Portsea) and her brother Thomas Langmaid - died 1868 (Portsea)

I am also attempting locate a couple of my Cullen family members:

James Cullen - died 1901 (Landport) and his children,
Harriet Annabella - died 1905 (Landport), husband Thomas Wright
Mary - died unknown date (Landport), husband unknown
Thomas James - died 1884 (Alverstock), wife Laura Ivy Bartlett
Robert - died Q2 1904 (Landport)
Ann - died abt 1939 (Landport), husband John Howells
Catherine - died 1890 (Landport), husband William Thomas Jennings

Any help with this is appreciated.

Hello,

I am attempting to  trace my 2G-grandmother and her ancestors. The 1st thing I am after is her birth document since I am attempting to find out who her mother is. Her father is Henry Couch, a carpenter. She married Samuel Langmaid of Fowey, Cornwall in St Austell in 1845. The pair settled in Portsea and raised their children there before emmigrating to Canada in 1870. I believe Elisa or Elizabeth was born between 1815 and 1820 in the Fowey-St. Austell area. Any help confirming her birth and who her mother would be greatly appreciated, thx.

Good Day,

I am tracing my grandmother's Holt family line, and have traced them back to Nicholas Holt, bn 1602, who was supposedly from Romsey, Hampshire and sailed to Boston, USA in 1635 on the James of London with his wife aand daughter. His father may have been Sir John Holt or Sir Thomas Holt of Romsey, bn abt the 1570s. I am attempting to verify that Nicholas was born in Romsey and who his father is. I would also like to find out who is mother and his siblings are. If anyone can help with this it is very much appreciated.

Hello Rootschatters,

My ggg-grandfather, born in Ashford CT in 1796, moved to Keene Valley, NYS with his family when young and then before 1831, when he married, he came to Canada. His name is Orrin Holt. What I am looking for is his birth record in Ashford.  Smith Holt and Lydia Snow are his parents. His parents died in Keene Valley. I cannot find any evidence of his birth except in his obit written in the Brantford Ontario Expositor in 1887. I am wondering if anyone has any tips or help as to finding his birth record(s). I am hoping this record would conclusively connect Orrin to Lydia and Smith. I am also looking for evidence of his move to Canada, but will leave that for another time if needed. Hope someone can help with this,

Kind Regards.

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for the marriage registration or certificate for Mary Cole who married John Byron Wilson. Mary was born in England abt 1836 and came to Canada abt 1841 to Charoletteville, Norfolk Co., ON.. She is supposedly married John B. Wilson in 1854 in Norfolk Co.. Through this document I'm attempting to verify that this Mary Cole is my ggg-aunt. I would appreciate any help, thx.
