Shropshire Lookup Requests / Help finding Sides - completed thanks
« on: Tuesday 14 November 23 14:33 GMT (UK)  »
According to various censuses, my gg grandfather Robert Sides was born in West Felton (two) or Ruyton XI towns (one). He married in Llansilin (Denbighshire) and his father was specified as Thomas. 

There was a Thomas Sides in the Llansilin area who had some children in West Felton and some in Llansilin. It looks like he may have moved in about 1820. From what I can see, Thomas and Elizabeth married in Oswestry in 1803. (There's no information on their parents, unfortunately.)

Also Robert had his brothers William (b approx 1811) and Timothy (approx 1812) living with him when he was older. But I couldn't find any records for baptisms with father Thomas for Robert, William and Timothy, whether the one I mentioned, or another.

I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.

Family History Beginners Board / Death certificate question
« on: Sunday 05 November 23 12:09 GMT (UK)  »
One of my family members, Robert Hughes, was a sea captain whose ship sank going from Ascension island to Newfoundland. (This was sometime in 1904 - the insurance claim to Lloyds was submitted in January 1905.) Where, if anywhere, would his death be registered? Thank you for any help you can give.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Tinplate photo - for dating please
« on: Friday 27 October 23 14:42 BST (UK)  »
My great-aunt left my mother a lot of family family photographs and it wasn't until this year that she showed them to me. My mum can pick out quite a few of the people, and some of them are labelled. However there are some mysteries. Assuming they are all my great-aunt's family, I am trying to match them to people in my tree. Her father was one of 6 boys and I wonder if these were two of them.
There is nothing on the back at all. This branch of the family came from the Portmadog area of Caernarfonshire.
Thank you for any help you can give.

Anglesey Lookup Requests / COMPLETED: Looking for date of birth and Parents of Ellen Roberts of Amlwch
« on: Saturday 21 October 23 15:15 BST (UK)  »
Ellen (also known as Ellenor) is my gg grandmother. She married my gg grandfather William Hughes in 1851. She died in 1884 (date on gravestone). I have 1822 as an estimated dob from the census. My mother said that older family members previously told her that one or both of Ellen's parents might be from Ireland.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
