Lancashire / Looking for a Primitive Methodist Church
« on: Saturday 18 March 23 00:08 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for a church in close proximity to
Cross Street, Golborne.  I believe it was there in the 1920s-1940s, does not appear on current maps.
No idea when it started/closed.

No idea which of these places may be close to Golborne?

Australia / Missing record - National Archives of Australia
« on: Saturday 06 February 21 02:02 GMT (UK)  »
I have the details of an Australian army officer from the WWII Nominal Roll 
https://nominal-rolls.dva.gov.au/

There is no sign of this person on the the Australian National Archives where I have previously always found a service record for anyone on the nominal roll.

Anyone else had this issue - any reason for a record to be missing? security? privacy?

Can someone tell me what I have done to my ancestry menu? Used to be across the top of the screen. Now I'm lost trying to search for anything I haven't previously saved in my favorites

Has it been changed? First time this has happened to me. Home page  has a sort of menu on the RHS

Devon / Macarthur Family - Stoke Damerel Parish
« on: Tuesday 09 January 18 06:10 GMT (UK)  »
Spelling varies - Macarthur, Mc Arthur, MacArthur

The Macarthurs (John and his nephew Hannibal) are well known as early Australian settlers.  Following the family back to England, James McArthur and his wife Catherine Hawkins had 14 children - 1783 to 1798. My query relates to some deaths.

In 1824, James aged 72, and his wife aged 66 were both buried on 13 February 1824. One of their daughters Mary, aged 39 was buried 30 October of the same year. Was there an epidemic or some other reason that may have caused them to die at the same address in the same year?

thanks for any ideas
