Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Writing on burial record
« on: Sunday 30 October 22 15:14 GMT (UK)  »
I'm not convinced that it says "non con".  The writing is all joined together in one word.  What would it mean, anyway?

Could you post a few other entries under that column?  What is the place and the date, please?

My relative is Thomas Bowen, 30th June 1900, Borough of Bolton.

Many thanks everyone

Hi,

It looks like non con to me.

Lynn

Thank you Lynn, that would be it, eyesight terrible tonight and it just seemed odd to put it twice in the same record, in the same column.

Thank you!

Wasn’t sure whether to post this in burials or here.

Sure it’s bloomin obvious but I just can’t figure it out this evening. Can anyone tell what this word is in a relatives burial record in the unconsecrated ground column. It looks like none in. He was baptised so don’t think it refers to them in that way.

Thanks

Is it the McFaddens you think are the link to your family?

Closest I can see is an Anthony McFadden born November 1911 (months after 1911 census) in Dunfanaghy district-

Same site doesn't show marriage and I can't match up those names in Family Search's index. Could they married outside Ireland? or Elizabeth married previously?

Many thanks! The cousin is a McFadden that’s what’s baffling. Ancestry have him down as a 1st cousin and I open it up and it says 1st but may be 2nd but none of my Dad’s brothers were McFaddens, we’re all Howards, coming from the North West of England so I’m wondering if the marriage happened somewhere around there then.

Donegal / Anthony McFadden - Creeslough
« on: Sunday 16 February 20 11:39 GMT (UK)  »
Ancestry DNA threw up a rogue cousin as it has a tendency to do.

This person doesn’t log into ancestry very often at all so I’ve had trouble getting information from them.

It’s a bit of a strange one as none of my Dad’s brothers as far as I am aware had a son with this name and they’re not from mother’s side as she’s had her DNA done too.

The only information I got from this cousin is that their grandparents were Anthony McFadden (I think born around 1911) from Creeslough and Elizabeth Law from Gortin.

Has anyone got an Anthony McFadden from Creeslough born around this date in their tree that might be able to help me out?

Many thanks.

Durham Completed Look up Requests / Re: Birth-Chapman-1842-*COMPLETED*
« on: Thursday 23 October 14 11:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi. I know that this thread was active a few years ago but I am grasping at straws. I have been struggling to work out my Walker family who lived at Woodham Burn and there is only one name that sticks out that helps me and that is Bridget. She was born in 1822 in Cockfield and her family (parents Henry and Margaret) moved to Woodham Burn a few years later. I stumbled across this thread and thought I have found my answers but it has thrown up more questions than answers. My Bridget is missing from the 1841 census and if I have the right one married Thomas Stephenson in 1852. This all fits and I am happy to believe that she had an illegitimate child 10 years earlier in 1842 but it doesn't explain the existence of John Chapman and even if my Bridget married him and was widowed before 1852 why she wasn't called Bridget Chapman. I can't find any other Bridget Walkers to make sense of this so if anyone can see where I am going wrong I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Alison

Alison, I feel your  pain.  ;) We have struggled to make any headway with the Bridget in our family for a while now. She's very elusive. I'll double check where i found the marriage record for John and Bridget but she did go on to have another son after the marriage.

Your best bet would be to start a new thread and then post a link to this one as I can't reopen it. :-(

Thanks Dawn, I appreciate you trying.

I did notice that they'd gone online. I don't have access any more to certain sites due to family commitments and so much happening however I did notice that there was an entry logged for 1953 could that be him. You've probably already checked that out though...

If one more member of my family disappears from the records.... ;D
