Thank you, Ken. Now that I know what I am looking for, I will see if I can find a researcher there to help me.

Armed Forces / Re: Help finding gunner in Canada

I am still trying to locate information about Richard James. His discharge papers say that he was discharged 30 April 1847 in Canada from the 3rd Bat. of Royal Regiment or Corps of Artillery. Does anyone know where this unit might have been in April 1847 or who its commander might have been?

Thank you for your inputs! Our family came over pretty early and there is almost nothing to go on other than Bart and Hamilton, so it doesn't look like I can connect at this point.

Thank you for clearing that up. I didn't think Rebecca sounded much like a last name. I still have a few reservations about this being the right Hannah, but at least now I can verify the information on the parents and see if they fit into the family.

Thank you. I like the Reed/Read connection as well. I wonder if Rebecca is Maria's last name or if they didn't put a last name for her.

US Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for a marriage - North Dakota
« on: Saturday 26 March 11 18:14 GMT (UK) »
I have searched the North Dakota census records for 1920 and 1930, but was unable to find anything. Can you post the name of the child? Do you know if they returned to the US?

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Parents of Hannah MASON
« on: Saturday 26 March 11 17:53 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to determine the parents of Hannah Mason, born @ 1844 in Ipswich. She was living with her aunt Hannah Read Stow in 1851 and 1861 in Hadleigh. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Lighter Side / Re: Names which cause problems with searches....
« on: Thursday 16 September 10 04:41 BST (UK) »
If it makes you feel better, I also have Days, but the tree includes Bath (which can lead wrong directions), Church (thankfully leading the other direction), as well as directions (North, West), food (Rice, Trout), and countries (England, French, German, Irish), but my worst are those names that are common first names: Bryan, Boyd, Dennis, George, Howard, Jack, James, John, Joseph, Kelly, Lee, Lewis, Matthew, Ray, Stanley, Stewart, Todd, and Wade (which show every person with these first names). Even when you go to a site that only searches names, it is almost enough to cause despair. There should be a law against it!
