 Hi,

Sorry to be cheeky :)  but I have 2 occupation questions.

 - What was a land agent (probably in Ireland) around the 1860's?

- Would a coal carter  in the eary 1900's be someone who works at the mine or someone who deliveries coal?

Thank you for help you can give me.

« on: Tuesday 02 October 07 19:24 BST (UK)  »

Hi,

I'm not sure how big a request this is as I do not have much of an idea about a date but I will try any way.  :)
I'm trying to find the marriage or death of DIONYSIA (or Dinisia) HOLDEN, born Findon Sussex 16 Jul 1891, Parents Frederick and Mary.

She is on the 1901 census with her family in Durrington. I have not been able to find a marriage or death for her on the FreeBMD or IGI. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. thank you  :)

Warwickshire / Dairy in Kenilworth - Any Info?
« on: Wednesday 19 September 07 07:35 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Does anyone have any information about a dairy which was in Warwick Road Kenilworth in the 1930/40's. Possibly run by a Phipps or Morley family (not sure on this).
According to family my Gran was living there late 1930's early 1940's and the family who owned it may have been related to my Gran. She was born in staffs but was brought up in Kenilworth (away from her father and brothers) as her mum died a few days after giving birth to her.

If anyone has any info I would love to hear from you. Thank you

« on: Friday 07 September 07 17:23 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

Just read an article in todays paper (Daily Mail) regarding Victorian Workhouses and accounts recorded by the children there. The article says that the interviews are now avalable for the first time on online. They were taken across the country in 1840.

the address is www.originsnetwork.com

Haven't checked it out myself yet but looks interesting

Sussex / HUMPHREY/HOLDEN Surname change any ideas?
« on: Tuesday 28 August 07 14:35 BST (UK)  »

Hi,

I've been trying to find the family of my gg grandfather Frederick HOLDEN born 1850.
I recently received his marriage certificate to Mary Puttick in 1870 in Storrington Sussex. I was very surprised as his fathers name is Harvey HUMPHREY.
Anyway I've done a bit of digging and have found Frederick and his father Harvey and Mother Sarah on the 1851 census, after a bit more digging I have found that Sarahs maiden name was HOLDEN.

Sarah and Harvey are listed on the 1871 census with the rest of their children all as Humphrey and Sarahs mother.
The decendants of Frederick and Mary were all HOLDENS but really they should be Humphreys?

Any ideas as to why my  gg grandfather would take his mothers Maiden name when his father is still alive and living with his mother after Frederick was married?

Any ideas/suggestions greatfully received

Thanks

Madfan
