Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Old Vicarage

« on: Saturday 13 June 09 17:11 BST (UK) »

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help.
My sister in law has recently moved into the Old Vicarage at Hanley castle, which is situated on the main road. We would love to find out more about its 500 year history. I thought it would be relatively easy, until I found out that it did not become the vicarage until the 20th century. Apparently, during the 1700 s the vicar moved to Pyndar ( the neighbouring house) from the original vicarage near the church.
How can i find out the previous name of the Old Vicarage and who has lived there?

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Alfred Hope

« on: Tuesday 19 May 09 12:06 BST (UK) »

Anyone any ideas

Kildare / oneill... kildare

« on: Saturday 16 May 09 20:20 BST (UK) »

I am researching my O'neill ancestry and getting NOWHERE.
Not sure how long Ive been looking but it's starting to feel like theres no one who can help with my search

Does anyone in Kildare ( especially Old Kilcullen) have it in their hearts to help a poor girl ( 47 Im still a girl) with her search. I would be so so grateful as Im a full time carer and havent got alot of money to pay for my research. Family history is the one past time I really enjoy. except when you draw a total blank, then its frustrating.

Thanks for taking the time to read this

The Common Room / Detective work needed

« on: Tuesday 16 December 08 17:57 GMT (UK) »

For a long time now I have been waiting for one small clue to my grandfather Alfred Hope's history. it is so frustrating as there doesn't seem to be anyone who can help me.
All i have to go on, is that he was born in C. 1894 (where???) and that he married Ethel soley in about 1914 in Hereford. He was a soldier in the Service corps and was based in Aldershot. oh, and his father was John Hope.
Can anyone suggest anything?

World War One / Alfred Hope Military record

« on: Tuesday 16 December 08 17:42 GMT (UK) »

Hi
I am having real problems finding out about my grandfather Alfred Hope. I dont know where he was born, except it was c.1894 or where he died.
All i know is that he was in the Royal army service corp as a driver/groom and was stationed at Aldershot at the start of WW1.
He married my grandmother Ethel Soley in Hereford and the marriage certificate holds the only details I have. after the war they lived in Bosbury Herefordshire and my dad was born 1924, but sometime after that Alfred (who had suffered shell shock) disappeared.
Do you think his service record would hold any keys?

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Parsons

« on: Saturday 06 December 08 15:23 GMT (UK) »

I was wondering if anyone could look up BMD records for my greatgrandmothers brother John parsons c.1864 and her sisters Hannah c.1868,Sarah c.1872 and Louisa c.1879.
On the 1881 census it gives John's birth place as Ledbury, Hannah's as Brilley, Sarah andLouise as Stoke Edith.
if anyone has access to church records, it would be great.
I would appreciate any help.

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Alfred Hope

« on: Tuesday 20 May 08 14:31 BST (UK) »

My dad's brother Alfred Hope was born c. 1918 in Bosbury Herefordshire. He spent most of his life living in Workington, cumberland and as far as I know he got married there. He is must have passed away in the last 20 years, but I am unsure of the date.
i was wondering if anyone could look up his marriage and death. I am sorry that i don't have any dates for these.
