The Common Room / Did they lie about their age
« on: Saturday 27 March 04 19:43 GMT (UK) »
Was it common place in the 1800s for people to lie about their age on the marriage certificate.My mother was shocked when i purchased my Grt Grandmothers marriage certificate,she was always told that Grt Grandfather was about 5 years older than Grt Grandmother.When i found a census record for my Grt Grandfather it actually showed he was 10 years older could this be right.Anne.

Kevin,i agree with you.We shouldnt have to pay for whats ours to start with.I do appreciate the fact that someone somewhere has to put in the work to make things available in the first place,but most of the sites now are run by very good volunteers and it gets quite expensive after a while trying to get the right information.I wouldnt mind paying a fee to a registerd charity as you suggest.I just think that everyone is out to rip someone off,as if things arent expensive enough. ;)Things like the 1901 census information,why cant we pay a fee for the upkeep of the building the records are kept in or something similar.I cant praise rootschat enough,i have had lots of help from some very nice people and they didnt charge a penny,thats what i call charity.Keep up the good work ROOTSCHAT.Anne.

Would someone be able to look at the 1901 census for Bridgette Ann English aged about 11 or 12 years old.Bridgettes mother died when she was very small and i am trying to find out who she lived with after her grandparents died.We were told that she may have been in Embleton.Her father was William English but the family seem to remember that she wasnt brought up by him.I dont know of any siblings.Anne.

Northumberland / Marriage Help
« on: Thursday 18 March 04 20:20 GMT (UK) »
::)Can anyone please help me find the marriage of Thomas Crumlish and Mabel Renwick.Thomas was Irish,not sure what Mary was.They had their 1st daughter Annie in 1869 so i presume they must have married around then.Mabel Renwick was married twice,first time to Henry Schofield and we think they married in Alnwick Northumberland but i cant find that marriage either.Any help on either of these 2 marriages would be great.Thankyou Anne.
