Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Re: Well and truly stuck !
« on: Sunday 25 May 25 18:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi Karen, not sure if you are going to get this or not, I know its been ages since I have been on, It's been on my 'to do' list to get back on and follow things along again, but I just haven't found the time, but I have a little more  now I'm retired - not much though. Looking back through the messages, I think my PC went down before I could get the photos as I couldn't find any, I'd love to show Helen some of the photos you sent, unfortunately (long story) I think she only has one of Dylys. I'm back on for another 6 months at least, so hopefully will be able to get a bit more to the tree completed.
Bye for now
Alan

Thank you, that makes sense, on closer inspection it could well be a small h on the end of the name. Thanks again for your help, its saved me a few headaches  :D :D

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1851 census
« on: Sunday 25 May 25 17:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, I am in need of some assistance with my ancestors middle name. On the 1851 census she is listed as Elizth Hanl Goodman (At least thats what it says, its not really that legible). I know her name was Elizabeth Goodman but I've no idea what the Hanl is. Any Ideas??
Thanks

Warwickshire / burial site
« on: Wednesday 17 February 21 14:31 GMT (UK)  »
How do I go about finding where my moms' brother is buried? His name is Keith Raymond Rhodes and all that we know about him is he was born and died in the first half of 1945 in Solihull, apparently, it was a taboo subject when my mom was a child so she knows nothing of his grave. Can anyone help please  ???

Can anyone shed any light on why my grandad had another name added between birth and getting married? He was Bernard Leo Rhodes b.28th April 1903 d. 18th November 1964. Talking to my mom the other day and she says that on his marriage certificate he is down as Bernard Leo Joseph Rhodes can anyone tell me where Joseph has come from?

Thanks in advance

World War One / Re: The Great War
« on: Wednesday 01 January 20 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
The grave reference was confusing me :D I presumed that as he was mentioned on the roll of Honour for Birmingham that he was Killed in Action and that the  name in Yardley Cemetery was a memorial for him and others. But it appears he died at home and there is a grave at Yardley. Thanks to all who took the time to put me on the right track...…………….I think  ;)

World War One / The Great War
« on: Monday 30 December 19 17:35 GMT (UK)  »
It appears I may have 2 relatives that served in the Great War, John Henry Osborn 1873 - 1916 served in the Kings 5th Battalion Shropshire Light Infantry and his son John Osborn  1896 - 1917 served in the Royal Worcester Regiment. To top that I have 3 numbers 28537, 5416 and 9108 relating to various documents, roll calls, signing up papers etc. Could anyone help me out as who's number is who's as I appear to be going round in circles.
Thanks in advance
