Thanks!

Would that ever have been used in 1921?

It would be really amazing if anyone knows where this is?
I've tried Googling many variants of the way I'm reading it but no luck.

Thanks in advance!

Ok thanks.  :)

I'm at the end of the research I can realistically do with ancestry. The question really is whether I'll likely find out (anything at all) interesting based on the records they offer?

Wiltshire / Is it worth visiting Wiltshire Records Office?

Hi All,

I just wanted to ask whether it was worth visiting the Wiltshire Records Office. Do you think I'll be able to find any interesting records about people in my family tree?

What kind of records are offered which aren't provided on sites like Ancestry and FindMyPast?

Thanks,
Ben

Familysearch has this possibility for 1911:


Name: J W H
Male
Age 34
Parish:Bracebridge, Lincoln
Record Type:Institution

Also very likely to be him. I assume "Institution" means mental hospital. Thanks.

Could this be him in Royal Naval Hospital, Haslar, Alverstoke Hampshire in 1901:

RG13/1013/27/12

Jno Wm Holden
Patient
Married

Age:25
Birth year:1876
Place of birth: Lincoln
Occupation:Private Royal Marines

I think that definitely is him. Thanks!
