The Common Room / Death Record abbreviations
« on: Friday 15 September 17 07:35 BST (UK) »
Hello fellow ancestor chasers. I am looking at the 1898 death and burial record for St Pancras Parish Chapel. My ancestor's record differs from most of the others:
Residence is shown as UCH which I think is probably University College Hospital; overwritten in this field are "Stanley B(something) Pancras Rd" Which I am guessing as his actual address before dying in the hospital.
But the one that stumps me is the District, Parish field which on his line is "Ch Ch ST"
any ideas ?

Like all these genealogy sites, the only information you should trust is the actual source document. These seem to be shared around between the various operators and close examination will often uncover transcription errors and downright wrong information in their databases. But the source is the source and whether you get it from Ancestry, or FindMyPast or Family Search etc is irrelevant as long as you are looking at an image of the actual document

by the way, their religion is listed as "prot" ie protestant. I don't think that was classified as non conformist or that they were Wesleyans. I would send you the doc but I understand from this sites rules that that isn't kosher

in fact they did. I have a doc which includes (exactly) "James 4y 11 Mar 1840". The Bounty scheme that they came to Oz on calculated the bounty (ie how much had to be paid for the voyage) based on the age of the person. So it was important

James was 4 on 11th 1840 so his bd is 11th March 1836. I have found the records suggested previously but they don't fit. They travelled to Australia in 1840. Mary gave birth to a girl on board in November 1840.

Family History Beginners Board / Missing James BOOTH

G'day all, I am searching for records in connection with the marriage of John Robinson BOOTH of Stockport Cheshire to Mary Ann Brook of Halifax.
They were listed in the immigration records as married in 1840 when they came to Australia but I am unsure exactly when or where they were married. According to the immigration records, they had James, age 4 with them on the ship and his native place is said to be Halifax, so they may well have married there. I cant find record of James' birth although I do recall stumbling on a post which I now can't find in which the poster said she/he had found a child of this marriage with a biblical name (maybe changed to James later?)
All assistance gratefully received
Cheers, Ian B
