Suffolk / Re: Suffolk parish registers to go online?
« on: Tuesday 22 July 25 09:17 BST (UK)  »

From Suffolk RO FAQ:
 "When will I be able to access the records online?
It is hoped that Suffolk’s main parish registers will be published online in early 2025
with other collections of local interest to follow. The images will not be released on
Ancestry’s website until the project has been completed i.e., there will be one launch,
rather than a series of mini launches, in date tranches or deanery blocks. "

Therefore one can only assume that 2025 is rather optimistic as a release date if ALL RECORDS are to be released at the same time.

Will one live to see this miracle EVER happen?

Name    John Dearlove
Registration Quarter    Apr-May-Jun
Death Registration Place    Hackney, London, United Kingdom
Death Date    Jun. 1860
Inferred Death Place    London, United Kingdom
Volume    1b
Page    219


This John DEARLOVE was reported to be 47 years old (GRO) so probably not your man

It would be unlikely that he was refused permission to marry only because his wife was alive in UK.
The laws associated with a 7 year transportation sentence would mean both could remarry.
However any initial problem was rectified in October 1852
TROVE newspaper search has reported that the sanction was lifted in October 1852 so John & Mary were free to marry. Note that he only had Ticket of Leave in 1852.
Did they marry?

CONVICT DEPARTMENT.
Comptroller-General's Office, 11th October, 1852.
The Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased to withdraw his sanction to the marriage
of the under-mentioned persons ;—
John Dearlove. T. L„ "Maria Somes" and Mary Evans, "Anna Maria",
both residing in the Hobart District.
J.S. HAMPTON, Comptroller-General

Was Mary Evans of the "Anna Maria" the same lady as Maria Evans of the "Duke of Cornwall"?

EDIT: Amended to add extra info

The Common Room / Re: Parish Registers &/or Bishops Transcripts

Thanks for the update john ni

Having finally found a copy of the actual, for real, page of burials from the Parish Registers and compared that with BT - you're correct Boo. There isn't any way to see when one or the other was written.

Surprisingly & contrary to popular belief, the Lamb burial is on the PR for Staindrop in 1838.

The search continues for the "real" HenryLamb
 
Many thanks for everyone's help. It's very much appreciated

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Damaged Torn Photo - Needs Restoration.
« on: Tuesday 04 February 25 00:44 GMT (UK)  »
Although not a restoration it's a stunning AI interpretation based on the original - well done Rami

Personally, I find that the extra birds, beads, baubles and brooch are unnecessary additions to what is a lovely old family photograph.
Unfortunately, I find the "extras" somewhat of a distraction.

BTW - Shoulders should be pleated, not gathered, to fit with the timeframe of the original photo.

All in all, an interesting rendition
