The Common Room / Re: Modern UK census?!
« on: Tuesday 08 October 24 04:04 BST (UK) »
The census covers only those physically staying there overnight on that date, includes visitors regardless of their home address. Any family not home, should not be included. Ie on holiday or staying with Granny, in hospital etc.
I remember the census taker coming back to check everything was completed then it went into a sealed envelope.

The Common Room / Re: Ancestry hints that linger
« on: Tuesday 08 October 24 03:17 BST (UK) »
As soon as l post new or change to my tree, l immediately get these back as a hint, surely a company as large as Ancestry can afford software programmers who can ‘code’ an algorithm such as ‘if this, then this ‘if not, then that’ even l can do it on a spreadsheet. Do NOT send a hint to the person who just entered ithe information. As the saying goes, It is not rocket science.

Lanarkshire / Re: Holmes Family
« on: Tuesday 14 March 23 01:30 GMT (UK) »
My Allan ancestor married a William Holmes, early 1900’s in Bellshill, Lanarkshire - he was a coal miner and they moved to Cardenden, Fife where they had a big family - Alice, Robert, James, William, Alexander, Mary and several infants who died. William is buried in Bowhill Cemetery.

Dunbartonshire / Re: Clydebank, Dumbarton, Scotland Burials-Cemetery - CLARK, James and Annie

Terri, re place of burial missing on death cert. In modern-day Scotland, the death is registered almost immediately as which time funeral arrangements have not been finalised. In 1959, for my grandmother then 1995, for my mother, l went from the hospital to the undertaker to the registry office and immediately received two official copies of the death certificates. The undertaker takes care of all the cremation and burial arrangements.

Hoping this will reach Hetta who provided some info on the GILES family and indicated she had more. It was back in 2016 and there was no reply to mine in 2017.

The Common Room / Re: When were Nonconformist rites of passage first registered at Dr Williams Library

Thank you for the speedy response and the information, totally unexpected. The reasons you gave are plausible but l was looking forward to learning my ancestors were a bit rebellious - weren’t they known as a breakaway protestant group? Though the birth was reported as 1806, the entry was not signed as registered until 1815, hence my query as to other family registrations. It certainly opens up another avenue of research. Thank you again.
P.s. read this over twice, hoping no typos

Query re an old post - Dr. William’s Library. I recently came across an ancestor’s birth entry in this register. Child appears to born in Inswich in 1805, notation made ‘at whose birth we were present” Wm Spark & Frances Payne - Really? Registered at Dr. William’s Library, Redcross Street, near Cripplegate, London on Nov 22, 1815, signed Thos. Morgan, Register
Does this mean the family were part of the non-conformists, had to pay and register - who made the choice as registration was not compulsory at that time. What about other family births, deaths and marriages? Sorry if l appear vague but first time l have run across this.
