I was offered a ticket to see the Beatles in Blackpool - that would also have been around 1963. I turned it down!

The Common Room / Re: How old is this building?
« on: Wednesday 04 June 25 22:56 BST (UK) »Genuine question, I’m a learner, what features of the building might be classified as Regency?
Typically, “golden section” (Georgian shaped) windows and plain rendered walls.

Presumably the occupiers of the premises were the same company, Dodgson and Smith, who were there in 1919. The layout of the buildings of the Tramway Company offices and stables is very similar to that of the Blind School back in 1850.
While I agree that the architectural style might be described as Regency, numbers 26-32 London Road were built after the end to the Regency period itself.
Of course, architecturally, “Regency” extended well beyond the George III/IV Regency period.

My ipad charge is just about to run out. Is this any use - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Insurance_Plan_of_the_City_of_Liverpool_Vol._IV;_sheet_82_(BL_149484).tiff
The building looks typically “Regency” to me.

Thanks, that makes sense - I’ll try and remember it for next time!

The Common Room / Birth Register - Hand Written Entry
« on: Saturday 03 May 25 16:02 BST (UK) »
It's me being thick - I should know this but could somebody please remind me?
Hilda - according to the 1939 - was born in 1924. Below is a snippett of the Birth Register from that year where she is added. As her parents were'nt married until 1931, I assume she appears elsewhere on the 1924 register under another surname. This most likely "Wood" but how do I find this from the scribble at the end of the hand written line? Does it say "See M 32" or summ'ut else?
Thanks

As it happens, that’s the version from Ancestry. The FindMyPast version is more up to date with some of the upper redactions removed. Apart from being annoyed that I’ve actually paid for “damaged goods”, I’m incredulous that someone from FindMyPast has actually been in to the file, un-redacted four people and failed to notice that part of the image is obscured.

Precisely, the parts of open records which have been redacted by incompetent redactions.
