Clare / Birth records for County Clare??
« on: Thursday 23 August 07 08:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
does anyone know if the birth records for Clare are searchable online?

I have a person who was born on 29th Feb 1904 in Clare and would love to find her parents.

Her surname was Burke and her christian name was either Ellen, Helen or Nelly.

Any leads would be great, Thanks, Paul.

Somerset / Frome and Berkley
« on: Monday 16 July 07 16:30 BST (UK)  »
I have found the marriage of Robert Thresher and Mary Guy in Frome, Somerset on 17th Dec 1713.

She was from Frome and he was from the nearby village of Berkley, Somerset.

I wonder if anyone knows how to find out the names of their parents??


                           Many Thanks, Paul.

Devon / Dartmoor Prison 1871

Hi,
Does anyone know if the prisoner records for Dartmoor Prison are online?

My ancestor John Hember was listed as a prisoner at Dartmoor in the 1871 census and I would love to discover what his crime was.

                        Many Thanks, Paul.

Hi Kanskar,
Thanks so much for taking the trouble to look this up, it's very kind of you.

This Castle View Terrace looks like the most probable location as it was stated that it was on Devizes Road, on William Douglas Brown's birth record.

Unfortunatly by 1891 they had moved to Bristol so I can't be sure.

I will certainly take the time to have a look at the houses that are still there.

Many Thanks again, Paul.  :D

The Common Room / What is a Parish Clerk?
« on: Sunday 08 July 07 08:23 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
One of my ancesters, William Mattocks, was named as a "Parish Clerk" in Staplegrove, Somerset in the mid 1700s!

I wonder if anyone knows what being a Parish Clerk actually involved.

Many Thanks, Paul.
