Norfolk / Re: Wall Sutton in Norfolk
« on: Tuesday 24 June 25 10:15 BST (UK)  »
The only record I have is for someone's wife. I cannot find a marriage record.

I have now found an army record (random unrelated person) who was also born in "Wall Sutton near Wisbeach, Cambridgeshire".

Considering some people in census returns said "Wallsutton" Cambridgeshire, I guess it is a local variation of how to say Walsoken.

Norfolk / Wall Sutton in Norfolk
« on: Tuesday 24 June 25 09:49 BST (UK)  »
Someone in my tree was said to have been born in Wallsutton in Norfolk.

I have found a few census returns for other people who also say they were born in born in Wallsutton, or “Wall Sutton”.

Is it a different spelling for Walsoken?

Thanks for any help.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Latin probate record written 1663 for John HALL
« on: Sunday 23 March 25 23:00 GMT (UK)  »
I have a Latin probate record that I have partially deciphered.

It seems to say that widower John HALL late of Sheffield had been living in London.

He left his estate to his son John and daughters Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, and Sarah, some or all of whom were minors. There were also provisions for his brothers Robert, Richard, William, Thomas and George.

I am mainly interested in whether the probate gives any clues as to where he died (and when). Plus any other useful tidbits.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks

For example:
St Sepulchre Holborn
aka Holy Sepulchre Without Newgate
Situated: Holborn Viaduct
PR's in GL: baptisms 1662-1886, marriages 1662-1901, burials 1662-1857
Later baptisms and marriage registers held by incumbent.
Partial index to baptisms 1662-1875 on IGI

The Common Room / PR's in GL

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "PR's in GL" mean?

Obviously PRs stand for parish records, but what is GL short for?

Apparently they have been over the years:

AOT = Archives Office of Tasmania
TAHO = Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office
LINC = joint services offered by the State Library of Tasmania, TAHO and others

And now, since 2018, simply Tasmanian Archives, Hobart (which you could say is still TAHo but with lowercase O). There is also "Tasmanian archives and heritage online", again TAHO.

Take your pick. :)

TAHO had it all along :)

It's in series GO3 Despatches received from the Secretary and under-Secretary of State relating to Advances to Emigrants.

There was a page number missing from the top of the letter.

The specific reference is GO3-1-1 Page 801.

Thanks to all :)
