New Zealand / Trying to identify this chap
« on: Monday 30 June 25 16:50 BST (UK)  »
Bit of a long shot but does anyone recognise this chap or the reference to a sporting event that occurred annually between 1920 and 1927 where he appears to have represented New Zealand?

Thanks for all your suggestions. David, thanks for the suggestion regarding ScotlandsPeople. I was unaware that they were able to assist further and I’ve done as you suggested! PatLac I can see a strange spelling of Wilfinton so thank you.

Staffordshire / Re: Seabrook - Tipton - What or Where was it?

Cas, it certainly could be. Sea, seemed a little strange given the lack of proximity in the midlands. Lea brook and its location next to Wednesbury makes far more sense. The next census puts them living in Wednesbury. Thanks for your help. Jim

Staffordshire / Seabrook - Tipton - What or Where was it?
« on: Tuesday 16 July 24 14:55 BST (UK)  »
Hoping for a little local knowledge. In 1854 my many time great grandparents were married in the Parish church of Tipton. Both of them gave their address at the time as “Seabrook.” Does anyone know if this address/location actually existed? Could it have been a colloquial term used by locals? Could it be a typo and if so what is it likely to have been! Any help gratefully received.

Renfrewshire / Greenock Poorhouse Inmates
« on: Friday 12 November 21 11:58 GMT (UK)  »
Recent research has uncovered that my wife's GGGrandfather died in the Greenock Poorhouse in 1919. A search of the 1911 census has him as an inmate on that date. I'm keen to see whether his time in the poorhouse was sporadic or constant. I'm also keen to see if an of his children or family were with him.

Does anyone know how I would access the records.

He is; John Scott born around 1854, Ireland.
Married Mary McCurdy in Port Glasgow, Thirteenth December 1884, 7 Scott’s
Lane, Port Glasgow
Died - Greenock Poorhouse, 8th October 1919,
Census 1911 - has him as an inmate.

Any assistance gratefully accepted!

Shaun, thanks. So Barrow Mags and then Lancaster assizes.

Reference the material disclosed in the indictment there is zero chance that details of victim would be reported in modern proceedings but not so sure about the 20’s!
