Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: Locate a Grave: Hedon Road Cemetery
« on: Tuesday 24 September 24 11:41 BST (UK) »
Thank you so much for your help, the information was very interesting.
I have contacted the council regarding visiting the grave, although I am not sure there will be anything to see.
On the Grave register, on some of the plots, it says 'full'. Would these likely be communal or pauper graves?
Thanks again

I am revisiting my family tree research. I have found notes I have made regarding my great grandmother - Hannah Frow (1852 - 2/11/1900)
I cannot find them online anywhere - so not sure how I obtained them.
My notes are as follows:-
Register Book of Burials in the Borough Cemetery, Hedon Road.
Hannah Frow (26718)
Compartment 39. Grave 22. Date death 2nd. Date buried 4th.
Age 48. Profession wife of Frederick Frow, hawker. Residence 11 New George Street.
Cause of death Cancer
I am local to Hull and would love to visit the grave. There are two cemeteries on Hedon Road, to my knowledge. I did search on 'Find a grave' but it appears only one shows up, and my great grandmother wasn't found.
With a compartment and grave number what would be the best way to find out where she is buried
Thanks

What is the easiest way to get access to newspaper copies. I am a member of Ancestry, but was disappointed to discover that you had to pay extra to view any newspaper reports.
Is their anywhere were they are free (I'm a born optimist!) or any other way to access them?

GEORGE HENRY FARNELL BORN Hull 1892 Durham Light Infantry (Bantam)
Thanks to all who helped last year with the continued search of my grandfathers war service.
As I reported, the last I had heard was that he was sent to the Casualty Clearing Station in 1918 after receiving a leg wound. I could find no further information as to the rest of his war career.
I have just returned from visiting my sister, who gave me some information I need to follow up. My sister visited my grandfather in his dying days when he gave her a couple of snippets. Apparently he was sent home to convalesce "at the other end of he country" (he was from Hull, East Yorkshire) and that he never went back to France (she thinks).
How would I go about verifying that information? I did try when I discovered the date of his injury, but to no avail.
Any help would be gratefully received.

I have been checking as much as I can on my grandfather George Henry Farnell's war records (b. Hull, 1892. In the Durham Light Infantry, as a bantam)
I have come across the fact that he was admitted to the 139th Field Ambulance on 4th Sept 1918 with an 'unspecified wound' to the leg. He was discharged the same day to the 2nd Canadian Casualty Clearing Station. (Not sure where)
My question - is there likely to be any records of those soldiers sent there. I do not know the nature of the injury or how long it took before he was back in action. He never mentioned the incident to me at all, but my mum said he kept the German dagger that caused the injury, for years.
I was wondering about the severity of the injury. He survived and died in 1976 aged 84 years. But whilst in hospital in his last days I discovered he was still having the wound treated! (with honey if my memory isnt playing tricks!)
The Bamtam link is another story, but you do wish you'd asked for more stories from your ancestors don't you. But as a child, it doesn't cross your mind until it's too late.
Regards

Thank you all so much for your help.
I still haven't 100% decided what to do, but I will give it lots of thought
I really do need to make my mind up!
What is stopping me is the cost. I will join Ancestry, something I've been meaning to do for a long time. But Family Tree Maker is so much more expensive than RootsWeb, for example, and I'm worried I lay out all this money and then it doesn't work for me.

Many many many moons ago I used Family Tree Maker to store my research. I used to print out the pages and put in files for ease of reading. I had the pedigree charts and Individual Reports printed. I was also able to print out the notes and Sources, and make up pages of photographs.
For reasons I cannot remember, when I changed computers I installed the free RootsMagic software and (eventually!) transferred my work across. The Individual Reports etc, do not look as good on the Roots Magic, and I have never really got on with the software.
I have now got a new laptop and looking to install new software with the hope that I can download all my information.
I have my printed version, but want to update a few details and also I want to print out one branch of the family tree for a relative, hopefully with all the notes and sources information.
Do I need an independant software package (Family Tree Maker, RoostMagic, etc) ?
I am thinking of becoming a member of Ancestry shortly. I know you can put your family tree on their site, but does it hold notes, sources and photograph information, or is it just a pedigree chart? Can you print off Individual Reports?
Sorry for the long winded message, but I want to try and get my head around what I'm doing before I spend a lot of money!
Regards, and thanks in advance,
Gill
