Norfolk / Re: General Quarter Session List
« on: Monday 12 March 12 19:25 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for replying to my query.  I am not sure if you can just ask to look at the records. 
They are on Ancestry in the part that is headed England and Wales Criminal Registers 1791-1892.

Frederick Armes is on page 280 of the Norwich  General Quarter Sessions held at Guildhall,Norwich on 20 March 1872. He is at no 7 and 8 charged with receiving stolen goods.
I live near Edinburgh so have never visited the Norwich Record Office.

I would be very grateful if you could find out any additional information, even if it is just his address as I know he was living at Church St, Catton, Norwich at the time, that would confirm that it was him and also answer a few other queries I have about him.

Norfolk / General Quarter Session List
« on: Saturday 10 March 12 19:17 GMT (UK)  »
I have discovered on Ancestry a list of General Quarter Sessions held at the Guildhall in Norwich.  This gives a list of people who have appeared there, their crime and sentence.

I think that an ancestor of mine might be mentioned, how do I go about finding out more details of what he did and if it really was him.

His name is Frederick Armes and he was imprisoned for 9 months on 20 March 1872 for receiving stolen goods.

I would be grateful for any help anyone can give me on a. confirming it is him and b. finding out what exactly he was charged with as receiving.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Inquest look up

Thanks for this. 

I have e-mailed the record office and got an out of office reply.  The person will be back in the office on 21 Sept so hopefully they will be able to help when they return.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Inquest look up
« on: Sunday 06 September 09 20:59 BST (UK)  »
My father's sister died having choked on some food.   According to her death certificate there was an inquest, I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to look this up in the local paper.  The details are as follows:

Honora Ferrer.  Died 29 January 1926 - inquest held 1 February 1926.
She died in Oldbury which at that time came under West Bromwich in the county of Worcestershire.  It may have been reported in one of the Birmingham papers or whatever was the local paper at the time.  If not can anyone suggest the best place to get a copy.

Kildare / Re: Birth in Kildare
« on: Friday 16 January 09 16:19 GMT (UK)  »
On his army attestation (where I found out where he was born) it says Crookstown, Athy, Co Kildare so it should be Crookstown Lower.

As I have only just found out this information the different parts of Crookstown are new to me and from what you have said it sounds like a nightmare trying to find the right one.

Thanks for finding all this out for me it is very kind of you.

Kildare / Re: Birth in Kildare

Thank you so much for all of this information, I shall e-mail Kildare Genealogy and see if they can help.

It looks as though Mary could be Patrick's sister and the William and Honor Byrne you mentioned his parents.  The reason I think that this is so is that Patrick's eldest daughter was name Honor.

I am very excited about what you have said as you have opened a door that I thought would never be opened.

I you do come across anything else about the Doran's would you let me know.

Once again thank you very much.

Armed Forces / Re: Help with medal and army record
« on: Thursday 15 January 09 19:12 GMT (UK)  »
Neil

Since I posted this I have found out that he was definately in South Africa between 3 Nov 1899 and 18 July 1901 and that he got a medal with 3 clasps.

Would the medal rolls tell me where about in SA he was and what battles he took part in?

His army number was either 32048 or 6501 and he was Sgt Patrick Doran with the Field Artillery.

Where would I find these - at the local church or is there a central repository.

Kildare / Birth in Kildare
« on: Thursday 15 January 09 18:41 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help - I have just found out that my GtGrandfather was born in Crookstown, Co Kildare around 1862.

His name was Patrick Doran, his father's name was William and they were Roman Catholic.  How can I get his birth certificate or details of his birth and is there any way I can find out about his father William and the name of Patrick's mother.
