Cambridgeshire / Henry KING (1787-1854)
« on: Sunday 02 April 17 00:01 BST (UK)  »
Henry was my 3rd great grandfather and he died on 28 Apr 1854 at St Andrew The Less, Cambridgeshire.  I am endeavouring to locate his grave site and, hopefully, find an inscription on a headstone.  I am wondering if someone has a publication of monumental inscriptions in the area and is prepared to have a look for my grandfather.
Thanking you,  Bill.

US Lookup Requests / John McCONVILLE & Margaret McKEOWN

My wife's great grandparents migrated to New York from Ireland in 1870.  Family records indicate that they married on 31 Mar 1872 in Paterson Town, New Jersey.
A daughter, Jane, was born in the same place on 10 Jan 1873.
Another daughter, Mary, died same place in 1874.
A son, James, was born same place on 2 Jul 1875.
I have been unable to locate any official BMD records on line to confirm these dates and am wondering if some kind person is able to assist. (it would be great to have as much information surrounding these events as possible.  eg where they lived, occupation of parents etc  etc).
Thanking you,   Bill.

I have just received notification (and photos 🙂) by PM from someone who visited the churchyard for me.  Rootschat comes to the assistance of this very happy genealogist once again. Thank you to the person involved.   Cheers,  Bill.

Dumfriesshire / EWES KIRKYARD - John Anderson (1737-1806) & family
« on: Friday 15 July 16 15:28 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to the help of Rootschatters, I have learned that my 4xggrandfather, and several members of his family, are buried in this Kirkyard, which I understand is about 7 miles north of Langholme. (Refer to my post of a few days ago).  I am wondering if there is a kind person living in the area who would be prepared to visit the kirkyard and photograph the memorial stone for me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.    Thank you,  Bill.

Thank you M Carter; searching with that surname does open up fresh possibilities. I will PM you shortly as we may share some connection.
Regards,  Bill   (PS: I reckon date may be 1780  ;) )

Hello Ian and thank you for replying to my post.    That is definitely my family.  All I need to do now is find some kind person who lives close to Ewes Cemetery and is willing to take a photo for me 🙂
Cheers, Bill

My 3xggrandfather died 3  June 1870 in Wrae, Ewes, Dumfries. Would anyone happen to have MI records for cemeteries in this area? I am endeavouring to locate his gravesite/headstone inscription.
Thanking you.
Bill.

Selkirkshire / Re: DAVID BROWN (1751-1834) - Last Will & Testament
« on: Tuesday 01 December 15 21:26 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you GR2; interesting information.  Research into Register of Sasines is all new to me so should provide a good challenge.  I assume that, if in fact grandfather was a property owner, it may be possible to find such information as property address and who he purchased/inherited the property from? I've had a bit of a look at searching the Register on line and must say that it looks a bit daunting at this early stage  :-[     Thanks, Bill
