The Common Room / Re: Workhouses
« on: Tuesday 11 June 19 19:58 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for all the information. I was actually trying to find the mother of Margaret Alice Tonge, born 1852, and married to George Schofield. I had thought that her father was Robert Tonge who I had understood to be married to Sarah Dearden.
According to the GRO index the maiden name of the mother was Crook.
I then looked at the Bolton union record and found the other families with a mother's name Robinson.
I had thought that the parents of George Schofield were Benjamin and Hannah Hesford but it now looks as though it could be Hannah Crook.

The Common Room / Workhouses

Can anyone help here please. I have come across something rather strange. All refer to The Bolton Union which I understand to be the workhouse.
I have found 3 children all born at The Bolton Union in 1850, 1852, 1854 all shown on GRO record as having the mother maiden name the same.
Another family of 4 children also shown as being born in the same workhouse in 1842, 1847, 1851 1854 again having the same mothers' maiden name different to the previous one.
It looks like the mother went into the workhouse to give birth on a regular basis.
In one case listed as inmates in 1851 on The Bolton Union records is what appears to be the whole family including father, daughter,and her children. I haven't found them on the normal census records.
Could this have been a normal procedure at the time?  In at least one of the above cases, possibly all I think they could be part of my family.
Any insights gratefully received.

Thank you for that hallmark. Will the same technique work with gmail and will attachments also be transferred?

Technical Help / Re: Back Up Your Research!

This all very interesting but lacks the one thing many of us needs. How precisely do we carry out a back up?
My particular problem is getting urgent. having changed broadband provider I now find that the previous supplier intends to close down the email address. I therefore need to copy many emails with their attachments quickly to avoid losing many hours research covering a long time period.

It is alright emphasising Back  up, Back up but how is it actually carried out. In simple terms please which are easy to understand and follow.

Hallmark,
Is it possible to forward multiple emails at the same time? otherwise it becomes a long drawn out process. How can they be transferred to a flash drive.

Ray,
Next problem is how to back up for someone not terribly tech savvy.

Technical Help / recovering emails

Following a computer breakdown I thought I had lost all emails most of which referred to my family history research. I have now discovered that they still exist on Yahoo. There could be over 1000.
The problem is I have no idea how they can be transferred to my current email address or copied to a Usb flash drive. There are some attachments and possibly photos, can they be transferred.
Any help gratefully received.

The Common Room / Re: 1939 register
« on: Monday 12 June 17 19:41 BST (UK)  »
I had guessed that it was something to do with needing medical attention of some kind as in one case it was at least a year after the event that the record was changed.
In the other case it looks as if one of the people simply wanted to disappear. No record has been found anywhere so far and it is unlikely that either a passport or driving licence was wanted or needed
The other case known about was on a second marriage which I accept was standard practice in the case of a woman.
It looks as though there is no way to find out any more. I was hoping to find out when the change took place and when the person died. The only evidence is now purely coincidental.
I would have thought that there should be some sort of register.

The Common Room / 1939 register
« on: Saturday 10 June 17 16:44 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know what the dates represent when names are changed on the 1939 register?
I have come across one or two that have been changed but the dates attached are not when the event took place. Is there any significance in the dates shown or is it simply a delay in catching up. I had thought it was when the event took place but am beginning to think it must be something to do with the NHS.
How can a change of name for a male be tracked down? No record looks to have been made.
