I’m blocked again

You have enough posts to be able to use the personal message system.

Maybe try logging out and back in again.

I'll send you a test pm.

Saunders11 still can't use personal messaging, is there anything you can do?

No, my uncle went to Australia before I was born but died out there.  Me and my family are from Greenwich/Lewisham. If u unblock me we can pm as you can’t say names on here but would like to talk etc

PM'd

Just an update.

Although Book02 was of the Burials in Canonbie from 1825-1855  the page my ancestor was on in 1846 was missing - (Canonbie Kirk Cemetery Burial Registers 1846 John Armstrong New Woodhead October 13th 56 Years). Yet I have it downloaded already so that is a mystery. I am wondering if there is another site containing these Burial Registers

Apparently it says there were 67 burials in the year 1846 but only 19 are listed so think the complete book is not on the Ancestry site. Unfortunately the pages aren't numbered.

The moral of my tale is, in future, to make sure not only the source is recorded but the location of the source too!

Hi Judy, I see what you mean, there's a few pages missing now. I'd saved the whole book to my computer awhile back and have the page as well so it would be where you found the image originally.

One thing you can be sure of is that even if you found the information on Ancestry, it didn't originate there. Ancestry has just copied or indexed something produced by someone else.

It could be one of the many booklets produced by the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society https://dgfhs.org.uk/

They have among other things two volumes of Monumental Inscriptions in Canonbie. See https://dgfhs.org.uk/?s=canonbie&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1 - could the information you obtained before have come from one of these?

She has an image of the burial? Obviously not an MI and DGFHS doesn't have these decades of Canonbie burials in their booklets or publications list.

If another user gives the correct answer, it's ok...

Hi,
I assume you mean Australia? ( AU)

If you order an ancestry kit  and get it sent to your address in the UK ( or whatever country outside Australia ) ,
and  you then send it  here to Australia  - the pre paid bag  ( to return the sample) , I would think will be for within the UK  use and not Aus handled international post.

If purchasing,   if it were me, I'd get the kit sent directly from Ancestry to the person out here in Aus  , otherwise I would think the pre paid bag in the kit  mailed  to your address outside  Aus is hopeless  out here, as  the  pre paid bag wouldn't be  paid for  with Aus post to send  international  to *Ireland (* where our kits are posted to from here  in Aus) .

Kind regards

Ps they are pretty quick at posting the kits out,  if  what  you're  worried about  is the posting times of receiving a kit here in Aus
from Ancestry.
The  kits  come from within Australia and not from overseas ( by an Ancestry's suppliers within Aus) . It should take no more than two weeks for the person to receive the kit in Aus.
 *I Think mine took a week if that  ( *obviously this depends where the person  is in Aus  of course )

Thanks for your reply (and all the other replies). What I meant was I would order a kit to my home in Aus, and take it with me once I can travel to the UK.

I thought it might be a common practice amongst some family historians to have a spare DNA kit or two in their bag for when they're travelling and meeting some family.
