Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Settlement papers 1832
« on: Wednesday 02 July 25 16:39 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much. That's really interesting. My family line is Wohlman but this line is from a lady in Canada. We are trying to prove a connection as no DNA as yet. There are numerous spellings of the surname depending on how it was interpreted by the official at the time. Another workhouse entry states by Margaret that her husband is a foreigner and never paid more than 3/- per week. I'll let her know about this information. Thanks again I really appreciate the guidance and help

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Settlement papers 1832

I wondered if anyone could kindly suggest the final words on this document. I read Pullen in Prussia but I wonder if the town or port has been misheard by the official at the time. Henry Woolman was a sailmaker by trade and married Margaret Aney in Whitechapel in 1821 eventually emigrating to Australia.
Many thanks

Since my original post regarding my Grandfather I have now received the records of his service from the National Archives. It reads he was sent to Norton Barracks near Taunton and was in service for 154 days before he was killed in the train accident. I am still to determine why he was in Sheffield. I'm sure it was operational reasons. I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction to get some of the other papers deciphered

Thank you so much This is fascinating The connection with Devon is intriguing as a lot of my Huguenots came from the south west on escaping from France. I found a Margaret Rennick on Family Search this morning before I went to work (addictive this hobby) I have also located a Gamble family pedigree in Enniskillen which looks promising. I'll read all the information and see where it leads me
I really appreciate your time and kindness with this

Hi I'm so sorry I have only just seen your message Strangely today is the Anniversary of my Granddad being killed in the troop train crash in 1942 I also received his war records from the National Archives this week by coincidence. It has always interested me that he joined up at his age and also I'm quite proud of him, I hope to visit his grave this year.  Hopefully when I've read more in to his records I can determine where he was and why
