Lancashire / Re: Baptised Twice
« on: Saturday 04 June 16 13:41 BST (UK)  »
As Marmalady said, could be mixed denomination situation.

In may tree I have a whole family of children that were baptised twice, their father was CofE & had the baptised accordingly, but (when He was at work) his wife & brother in law took the children to an RC church to get them registered there.

Lancashire / Re: Manchester Evening news article from the 1960's
« on: Sunday 17 April 16 22:58 BST (UK)  »
On Manchester Library website it say the following:

We hold a large collection of school records for the Manchester area. Surviving admission registers c.1870-c.1916 for Manchester schools are now available on findmypast. Free access is available at any of our libraries.

Note they say 'Surviving Admission Registers'

So it maybe that (as usual) the records you want have not survived, or they were not copied by findmypast because they were in to poor a condition to be photocopied?

A visit to Manchester Central Library may get a definative answer.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: The Times wants your views: DNA ethnicity results
« on: Sunday 13 March 16 16:46 GMT (UK)  »
When I started my family history research I knew that my Maternal Grandfather had died young (@59yrs old), he was riddled with Arthritis (had been a great cut-throat shaver, never drew blood), in his later years he could not even hold a razor.

Later, my father was diagnosed as suffering with Osteo-Arthritis, which myself and 2 of 3 siblings also have.

Through my research I found that (most likely) the Arthritis gene came into my line through my 2x Great Grandmother, who died young, leaving her husband to rise their 4 children on his own, he lived (& worked) well into his 70's as a Diving-Dressmaker (the diving suits that were used in the 1800's with a Brass Helmet).

 P.S. on my Mothers side the genetic problem seems to be some kind of Heart disease/weakness

The Lighter Side / Re: Are there any surnames you definitely DO NOT want to find in your family tree?
« on: Sunday 07 February 16 13:41 GMT (UK)  »
Many Years ago, I read (in a genealogy book) that there are 48 different ways of spelling 'Hughes'.

I hope I never find that in My family tree. ::)


P.S.
The other name I don't want to find in my tree is 'Hitler' (for obvious reasons) :o :(

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: The Times wants your views: DNA ethnicity results

I have (so far) been wary of spending so much of my meager funds on DNA testing,  for all the reasons already stated by previous posters. :(

As has been said, the idea of putting my DNA online for anyone to see/use/make money out of is also not making me a happy bunny.  ::)

I will keep my eye on this subject, and if/when there are more economical (and secure) ways of me taking part I may change my mind & Join in. ;)
