Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / DNA clusters basic question
« on: Friday 11 July 25 19:50 BST (UK)  »
I have following with interest the various posts about Ancestry’s new tool around clustering. I know it’s going to take a while to roll out to all users  but am just wondering if it will be available to  all Ancestry subscribers or is it just for those who pay the extra for Pro Tools?

CaroleW - Fortunately,  I have been able to download several certificates at the £3 mark - so I’m looking on the bright side and counting what I’ve saved since the cheaper certificates were introduced!
I also like that you see the information as soon as you order.

Thankyou Comberton. I’ve now ordered the certificate following your information.
I’ve been lucky, for a while now, that  for all the certificates I have needed Ive been able to order a  digital copy. Had to pay the £12 for this one from 1958 which will arrive next week by post but am pleased that I will be able to obtain the information I need.

The Common Room / Certificate from GRO
« on: Thursday 27 March 25 10:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I am hoping to obtain a copy of a certificate of death. The death occurred in Leeds in March 1958 , this is shown on FreeBMD. When I look on the GRO site though the records for that year are not available  ( the last date show is 1957 and then there is a gap up until 1984).
 Is there another way I can try or are these records just not available?
Thanks

I have now checked the details I had previously found. The birth of the child is August 6th (reg Sept 1/4) 1916 so not a late registration. With Jim1’s possible suggestion that maybe the father has been given compassionate leave in 1915 I had wondered if that was indeed the case as I know a brother had died in 1915. However he died in April 1915 so I do not think any compassionate leave would  have extended towards the last few months of the year.
One of those things we’ll probably never know. Thankyou Jim1 though for pointing that it out as I had not noticed the discrepancy in dates.

Oh! I completely missed that detail around dates.
I will need to look again at what I’ve collected along the way. William H Gardiner did have a brother who died in 1915 so maybe the idea of compassionate leave might tie in. I’m not at home at the moment to find my various scribbles about this marriage. Jim1 you have made me think again - my original query around pensions was because I was just wondering what happened to a widow. I’ll come back once I’ve checked.

Thankyou AllanUK - using the records of the Silver War Badge service numbers listed near to this man's number is an excellent bit of deduction.
Also I note that Jim1 has usually given the criteria when credit towards a pension would not be counted and one of these is if the man went back into the reserves for a time. I know that WH Gardiner's wife  did have the birth of a child born in Sept 1/4 1916 so that could be a possibility.
Can I ask Jim how did you find the information that he was at Berneville on the day he died?

His name is William Hubert Gardiner - he in the Rifle Brigade - service number S6364.
I have not been able to find his service record just the Medal roll, soldiers effects and details of his death in March 1918
