Stirlingshire / Polmont burials
« on: Saturday 02 October 04 08:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I'm wondering if anyone has access to Polmont Cemetary.
I have a family called Jeffrey that I know are buried there.
I have been told that the parish lost it's records in a fire and death dates are proving hard to find.

I would be interested in any or all headstone info on this surname, if SKS is there for any reason please, I would be very grateful.

many thanks

1/ Catherine McClure - daughter, Sarah Jane Marah born c1856

Lanarkshire / 1881 census lookup please
« on: Friday 03 September 04 10:56 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have this census please
I'm looking for Robert Townsend/ Townsley/ Townslie who would have been aged agout 80
He died in Dec 1882 at the Old Monkland Poorhouse, so was possibly there for the 1881 census.
I'm hoping to find his place of birth so I can start looking further. He travelled around a lot as he was a Travelling Tinsmith
Any help would really be appreciated
Many thanks

Durham / Newton - Westoe
« on: Thursday 19 August 04 12:16 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help please
I'm looking for the birth of William NEWTON about 1793-5 in Westoe, Durham

All Census records except the 1871 give his birthplace as Newcastle on Tyne. The 1871 gives him as aged 78 born Westoe, Durham.

I am more inclined to believe this census as it also gives the correct birthplace for his wife Ruth as Heworth, Co Durham...she also has Newcastle on all the other  census.

many thanks

John Garfield married Susannah Atkins (Adkins?) March 1792 at St Michaels, Coventry
They had 2 children :
John born 1793, apprenticed to a weaver in 1805 by the Parish Overseers, later moved to London and I have all his details.
Maria born Feb 1795

I can find no records for births of either the father John Garfield or Susannah Atkins
The only ones that look anywhere hopeful are
Susannah Adkins born 1760 Stratford on Avon
John Garfield born 1740 Bidford on Avon
Given their ages if it is them it might explain why they only had 2 children!
Does anyone have access to the St Michael, Coventry fiche please to see if there are any births for these 2 names
many thanks
