Cornwall / Re: CRAZE Information if anyone wants it
« on: Wednesday 10 September 14 16:09 BST (UK) »
Sorry CG and Mistyeyes, I cannot oblige, I never received the info my self. I've had a look at my own tree for the Thomas you refer to CG, but he's not there.

Cornwall / Re: Bodmin Asylum records
« on: Wednesday 10 September 14 16:03 BST (UK) »
Hi!
In addition to the aforementioned 2 x great grandfather, I had another 2 x great grandfather who died there in 1943.
This time I emailed the Cornish Records Office and they kindly replied back to me via email giving the reason for his admittance, cause of death etc, which I was really pleased about, seeing this all occurred less than 100 years ago. This poor chap had dementia.

World War One / Re: Sydney Daniels.A soldier or not?
« on: Saturday 09 February 13 14:49 GMT (UK) »
Please find attached the photo of Tom (l) and Sid. Tom enlisted in the ASC November 1915, discharged December 1918. Sid entlisted and discharged from ASC in January 1915, so not in the ASC at the same time. As Beedan says, Sid's obit says he was in the Manchester regiment. Tom's service history is not on A*y, we are fortunate to have his copy of his discharge papers.
I would be extremely grateful if someone could clarify the reason for the difference in style of uniforms, and confirm the regemental badges, if possible. Had to reduce the size and quality of the photo to upload to RC in the end, so not as clear as I would have hoped.
Thank you
Jo

I have just re-scanned the discussed photo at a highter resolution, as although there are no cap badges, each have collar badges, which can now be seen quite clearly. If Beedan has no objection, I would like to post the photo, as although I can see that Sid is wearing what I believe is service dress, Tom's uniform is of a completely different style, and I have no idea why, but would love to know! Tom enlisted into the ASC on 15 November 1915 and was discharged from RASC on 30 December 1918. Other photos I have of Tom show him in service dress whilst in the ASC band.
Thanks - Jo

Whilst not famous, my father is an ex pupil of Probus College, a boys' boarding school in the 1950/60's when he attended. I have 3 photos of the school which have recently been sent to me. Pm your email address if you would like me to share these with you

Norfolk Completed Look up Requests / Re: Marriage: Charles MAYES & Maria MILLER 1829

Just found them, with thanks to freereg. The date is correct, but the church should be Norwich, St Michael Coslany

Norfolk Completed Look up Requests / COMPLETED: Marriage: Charles MAYES & Maria MILLER 1829
« on: Monday 27 August 12 16:26 BST (UK) »
I hope I have posted this in the correct place, apologies if not.
I wonder if there is anyone who could come to my rescue! I have spent the past couple of days going around in circles, and I am still no further forward.
Familysearch has my husband’s 3 x great grandparents Charles MAYES and Maria MILLER’s marriage as taking place on 8 May 1829 at St Martin at Oak Church, Norwich.

However, when I look at the Parish Register Images I cannot locate them.

They should be on image 61 of 88, or thereabouts; I’ve looked through the whole register, in case the date/year was incorrect
Nor can I locate them in their home parishes of Felthorpe or Drayton, and now I am truly stuck!
I would be ever so grateful if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong and point me in the right direction.
Many thanks
