Family History Beginners Board / Studying Genealogy-advice please!
« on: Wednesday 29 June 11 22:56 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I was wandering if anyone maybe able to give me some advice?
Does anyone know the route I would need to take enable to become a professional genealogist?
I thoroughly enjoy the subject (working on my own and friends and family Family Trees) and would like to extend what is currently a full time hobby in to possibly a career path.
I have also been giving some thought to working in the field of 'Heir Hunters'.
What is the structure (ie; college/uni courses) for one who would like to pursue a career in Genealogy? Are there establishments that one would let you work for on a voluntary basis (enable to gain work experience), etc.?
Any advice (re how one would work towards becoming a professional genealogist or a Heir Hunter) would be much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
M

cheers for the names and dates Jan!
And also for info Mort and Patrish.
Avm-sadly no family memories of James Trainer
Is there a website, apart from 'Find my Past', where I can input an address and do a census look up for free?
I have James Address at time of Marriage in 1930 as Number 78 Sheep Lane, Hackney.
This was where he was living at the age of 38 years old-maybe I could do a search of family residing at that address in 1901 and 1911? That may shed some more light on it?

Cheers Jan for the info! Yes it is good to be mindful of other possibilities also
Thank you also Patrish for the info!
Groom-James occupation on the certificate was a Window Cleaner.
And I forgot to mention that James was living at the address of: 78 Sheep Lane, Hackney-when he married my Great Gran Daisy in 1930.

Apologies for not clarifying that his place of Birth (Chester Le Stree) was just my assumption.
I know that he was born in 1892>based on his age of 38 years old at time of Marriage to my Great Gran in November 1930-Hackney.
And he was 39 years old when he died in February 1932 > which to me suggests that he would have turned 40 years old (had he lived, in 1932).
I can only go on the premise that he must have been born overseas-in light of the fact that there are no English Census records in 1901 showing James Trainer residing with his father David/Daniel.
Thank you for taking the time out to assist me and come to this conclusion- If I had not done this post, I would have ended up wasting £9.50 on a certificate!
My Search continues! I guess I may have to try overseas births?/cesnus records?
Thanks Again,
Maz

Hello,
I was only assuming that he was born in 1892 in Chester Le Street-based on his age at time of Marriage and age at time of death.
If the one that was born in 1892 Chester Le Street died at the age of 1 year old- then that would rule this one out!
Come to think of it, maybe my James Trainer was born in another country?

Thank you for the census look up Jan
I am thinking maybe Daniel/David died after James was born in 1892-and this could be why I can't find him on the census look up?

Many Thanks for your reply!
I ordered a copy of his death certificate-he died in Feb 1932, aged 39.
The informant to this was my Great Gran Daisy Catherall-which verified I had the correct person.
James Trainer married my Great Grandmother Daisy Catherall in Nov 1930. He was aged 38 years old. They married in the district of Hackney.
He was born between Oct-Dec 1892 in Chester Le Street, Durham.
The occupation for James Father seems to say he was a 'Baker Journeyman'.
The witnesses for the wedding was a Lily Simpson (who is my Great Grans sister) and an Emily Gee-I am not sure who she was?
