 Hi Carol,
            A friend of mine ( about to turn 90 ) is of your family. She is Daphne Lorna Lawlor - daughter of William Godfrey Massey Lawlor + Muriel Erhar(d)t.
            Daphne was married to George Faithfull ( who died a couple of years ago).
            She would love to know what you have found about  her Lawlor family .
                         Hope to hear from you,
                                                           Thommoje

  Military Records will be available to search , free of charge , at Find My Past  22 - 26 April.

  A wonderful chance to search through the records for your soldier relatives , especially if you are not sure of exact details. Remember , if your relative was killed in action, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site is also free and may / maynot  give more clues.

 Medal Card records are likely to be found  but Service records are a lot less likely as most were burnt as a result of WW2 bombings in London - less than 30% survive , but you can be lucky.

 Hi Roots Chatters,
                           A large branch of my Dad`s HISLOP family lived and worked in the Clydebank area from about 1900 onwards. Many of them worked at Singers Factory as did so many.Family names include :- Atkinson , Chalmers , Hislop , King , Boyd and McMurray. These folk were the extended family of Archibald Hislop + Emily Kerr who married in 1871 in Glasgow.
                           I have not been able to establish contact with anyone from this branch of my family but BMD indexes tell me that this family group lived in the area until at least the late 1990 s.
                           Some of the street names where they lived were BLUEVALE , RIDDELL , THOMSON , RADNOR and SECOND TCE.
                           Would love to hear from anyone who has knowledge of or connections to this family,
                                                                    Thommoje 

Hi Iain2,
             The site is FreeCen - just Google it. I believe they have now covered all / most of Scotand for the 1841 Census and some of the 1851. You may get lucky with other places ( including England ) - just try and see if you get a result.
             In the case of Inveraray , for example it is all there and you can go up and down a street to see who else lived in the adjoining houses. It`s fun and can be rewarding and also time consuming.
             I find it best to put in less info rather than more and wade through the names :_ eg  1841   John Morrison   and click " male " . If there are too many names, you may have to narrow your search by adding a County .
              The site is asit says - FREE.
               Have fun, Thommoje
