Hello Elizabeth

In the past I have obtained copies of ships logs from the National Archives in London. They can be ordered online and a paper copy posted to you.

Hello Jaco,

Have a look at this site, it has images of the actual lists:

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Merchant Vessel Porlock Hill

Hello Philip

The Porlock Hill was built in the USA in 1944 as the SAMCHESS (Official Number 169823), 7200 ton Cargo Ship.

Her name was changed to the PORLOCK HILL in 1948 and she was wrecked off Famagusta in 1951.

I would have thought she was of welded construction rather than riveted.

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: baptism record
« on: Friday 06 November 09 15:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello wildgoose

It looks like a Latin abbreviation:

In ext s ritt bapt explevi ritus

bapt must mean baptism
explevi means to complete
ritus means ceremony

A Latin scholar would probably be of more help

Hello McCubbin

There are a couple of books about the war years in Aberdeen that include many pictures of bomb damage in Aberdeen and the North East of Scotland.

Stirlingshire / Re: Slamannan Marriage
« on: Monday 08 June 09 13:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello wildgoose,

I had a similar problem with the marriage certificate for one of my great great grandparents. Details were included on their children's birth certificates and also on IGI, but no sign of a marriage certificate on SP. I e-mailed SP and found out that it had accidentally been omitted from the index.

Unfortunately, it took several months before if was added to the index and in the meantime I got fed up waiting so I applied to the GRO for an official copy.

I think you should also keep #5:     siblings partner's parents

This can sometimes be useful when it comes to the naming of children.

Lanarkshire / Re: Anyone able to do a look up for Obituary notice in Glasgow

egar,

The transcription was from the London Times newspaper. I have free access to this paper through my local library. Perhaps your own library also has this service.

If you wanted a copy of the page, send me a pm with an e-mail address and I can send it to you. I could not find any other items on this case.
