Warwickshire Lookup Requests / James NEWBOLD marriage
« on: Wednesday 28 March 12 07:32 BST (UK)  »
IS there anyone able to sight the parish record for the banns/marriage of James NEWBOLD and Jane CHAMBERLAIN, 14 May 1787 at St Martin, Birmingham, England?
I am particularly interested if their is any mention of the parents or who the witnesses were.
Both James and Jane were actually from Leicestershire, so I am not sure why they married in Warwickshire.
TIA
Dave

Armed Forces / Re: Militia Death early 1800's

Thanks Ken. I had tried various online newspapers for his death but so far no success. I haven't as yet tried your suggestion to look for his commission in the Gazette which I will do.
Problem is, I can't find his marriage, his birth or his death in any records. I am even struggling to find the correct birth date and place for his son. Sigh.. we keep plodding along.
Thanks again.

Armed Forces / Militia Death early 1800's
« on: Monday 06 June 11 00:29 BST (UK)  »
I have found that my 4x great grandfather Alexander GRANT was an Adjutant in the Militia and was killed, (stabbed), while quelling an affray in London. The time frame would have been around 1815-1820s. I have tried many resources to try and establish this but so far no luck.
Alexander was married to Margaret Stewart, (not proved yet), had 1 son, William and two daughters. William was reported to have been born in Ireland someplace c:1817 and was only a "lad" when his father was killed.
Is there any person able to help with this problem?
