Census and Resource Discussion / Re: 1911 Census - Nationality help please

Thank you Jenny B and softly softly!

Jenny B's suggestion would rule out the person I am looking for.

Softly softly's 1921 census find is interesting; the 1919 document I referred to is (I think) an original typed passenger list and if it should read Schiff I can't explain why she is "Mrs" and not "Miss". Looks like my brick wall is yet to fall - but thank you all so much for your input!

Thank you for your trouble! It is a long story (it always is!); I am trying to find the sister of Abraham Adam Schiff who was a Jewish immigrant to the UK in 1908. I only discovered that he had a sister by chance when I was looking at a passenger list for his trip to the USA in 1919 - the list shows the name of the nearest relative living in England - sister Mrs Fanny Sheriff17 Middleton Sq., London N.

I have not been able to find anything out about her so was trying a trawl of the 1911 census and found a Fanny Sherriff. The Schiff family were originally from Russia so I was looking to see if any of the Fanny Sherriff or Sheriff were from Russia. :)

Armed Forces / Help with understanding Royal Marine service record 1924 to 1945 - please

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help. I have got the Royal Marine service record for one of my ancestors.

He enlisted in 1924 and there seems to be a record of continuous service until the record notes                ”termination of second period of engagement” in April 1946 then “released” June 1946. At the top of the document it records “when re-engagement - 6 ? 1937”.

I am confused by the “re-engagement” term as his service appears to have been continuous - please can anyone enlighten me?

Many thanks
Mike

Thank you - that makes sense - perhaps he was William Charles but known as Charles.

I am looking at a passenger list from 1944 and it shows:

CUDD, Mary Concetta
-do-, Wm.Charles

Please does any one know what the “Wm.” means?

Many thanks
Mike
