Thank you for looking! It is the same one, but as there are no baptisms/no sign of him anywhere between 1819 and 1825, I'm looking at anyone who comes within ten years prior to his given age. I have had too many ancestors who either have no idea how old they were or taken a few years off of their actual age!

kind regards

Good morning,

I'm looking for the birth of John Kennerdale c1820 Wigan.

There is an entry for a John Kennedy, mother Elizabeth, Wigan Workhouse Dec. 1819 and wondered if anyone could possibly look up the original register please?

Needless to say, the Kennerdale name has been transcribed/mistranscribed in just about every record, many different spellings, including Kennedy, so this might be my man! On his marriage cert. in 1846 the register gives father's name as 'late' so I assume he is illegitimate, and there is a Betty Kennerdale born 1798 to this very small family group in Wigan who could be his mother.

The original document might present a clue?

Many thanks

Thanks Carol, but sadly not. Mine was definitely English and lived in Woolwich area of London, he was on his way to see his sister who lived in the US. I'm researching on behalf of a cousin and have a feeling the info must be incorrect, as he doesn't appear anywhere!

Could someone tell me please, where would I find the registration of death of a british subject died/buried at sea, apparently on the Queen Mary 1956, name Freeman, male in 60's? I have tried searching Ancestry, Findmy past etc etc, but not sure if this person would be classed as overseas or whether the death would be registered in England.

Many thanks

That is very helpful, thanks.

The Best's you very kindly sent me from the land records were both born in Canada so they are out!

I think the only thing I can do is pursue Toronto bmd's; the son/grandson who turned up in England during the last war may be son of this Wm J's' daughter Ethel Martha. I'm trying to acclimatise myself to Canadian records!!
