Shropshire / William Shelton Bradley Hughes
« on: Tuesday 15 July 25 17:07 BST (UK) »
We have a cousin, William Shelton Bradley Hughes, who was born in Canada in 1911. Sadly, both of his parents passed away in 1921, and one of his aunts travelled to Canada to bring him back to England. We know he attended Shrewsbury School, but unfortunately he died on 26th September 1926. He is buried in the family plot in Formby, and this date is engraved on the headstone. However, we have been unable to locate an official record of his death. We don’t know where or how he died, and although I’ve ordered several possible death certificates, none have matched. Would there be any reason why a death certificate might not exist or be difficult to locate?

Hi Shaun,
Yeah, we understand that they moved in 1922 but they may have been living in 'the corner' since they got married in 1919.

Cheshire / Birkenhead Road - Meols

Hello, we have been looking at the 1921 census for my great grandparents living on Birkenhead Road in Meols but the house is named 'The Corner' Birkenhead Road but there is no history of a house named that. I have been through all the other records on this census and all the houses seem to be named rather than numbered, is there a way to find out what the numbers would have been or a specific location of the house, we are visiting soon and would like to see if we can find it.

The Common Room / Family Tree Confusion
« on: Wednesday 30 October 24 05:56 GMT (UK) »
I have been doing my family tree for awhile and I have come to a relative that I cannot seem to figure out.
My aunt Jacqueline married a man we knew as John, he was a prisoner of war and was working in Bovington Camp in Dorset when she met him.
Since starting my family tree I have learnt his name is actually Johann Silvester Herfet, what I cannot understand is how he got the name Herfet, He was born in Poland and his mother was Veronica Kaseba and the only thing I can find out about his father is that his surname may have been Labus as I can find a record of Veronika at age 62 with the surname Labus but that is all I can find.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Name confirmation
« on: Monday 09 May 22 16:57 BST (UK) »
We have always thought this name was Mary Hughes but we are not 100% sure as this name does not relate to any other document we can find.
Can someone please confirm what name this is.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Word Decipher
« on: Friday 08 October 21 17:32 BST (UK) »
We are trying to figure out which insurance companies my 2nd great grandfather worked for. We know he worked for Empire Marine insurance until they went bust.
But on his 1901 Cencus he is retired but there is a line that says retired insurance agent and below it there is something crossed out that says retired from .....?? and that is the word we cannot seem to figure out.
Any help would be great.
