Technical Help / Re: RootsWeb Offline Websites Down after 5 days
« on: Saturday 30 July 16 09:15 BST (UK)  »
I'm having the same problems with not being able to access the FreePages File Manager.  I know it all went down a while back, I was patient and it came back and I was able to enter File Manager and access my webpage.  Over the past week or so I have been trying to update it again, but I can't even get to the login page.  I'm at a loss with what to do.  I don't even know who to contact to help!!!  Can anyone help me?

Kind regards
Jen.

Medway Council have a website with a lot of the churches registers digitised.  FreeREG are also in the process of transcribing those records amongst others.

Hope you find what you are looking for.

Hi

Yes, he was born in Rainham in Kent.  His parents were Frederick Austin and Mary Ann Webb.

I do have the 1911 census, sorry.  My computer died on me a couple of weeks ago.  I did manage to get most of my files off it, but I'm still in the process of transferring the files from the external hard drive onto my laptop.

He was 16 in 1911 and he was a Horse Driver on a Farm.

Doesn't really help much does it.

I knew I'd forget something!!!  No, I haven't got him in the 1911 census.  He would have been 16 at the time so I presume he would have still been with his family.

Hi everyone

Thanks for all your replies.  Certainly some things to be looking at there.

Yes, the museum was the one in Woolwich.  Too far for us to go before her homework is due in I'm afraid.

Yes, I have got the card from Ancestry with the note about his mother applying for the 1914 Star.  I'm not sure if Ancestry has anything else on him.  I'm not a member.  I've had a quick look and it looks like there are 3 "possible" Herbert Webb's (he didn't have a middle name).

I've contacted British War Graves website, so hopefully they might be able to send me a photo of his grave.

Hi everyone.

My daughter is 12 years old and is doing a WW1 history project at school.  Through my research we know that one member of our family was killed in the first world war.  We have been on the CWGC website and we also have his medal record card.

She spoke to her teacher and she suggested that she contact the Royal Field Artillery museum to see if she could get any other information.  We had an email back this morning, basically directing us to the National Archives and Ancestry.

Can anyone suggest what our next steps should be?  As this is homework, I'm a bit unsure on spending lots of money on it.

I did try to look at the National Archives to see how much his record would be (if it exists) and I got a bit lost in there!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

His details were :

Acting Bombardier Herbert Webb
67123, 135th Bty, 32nd Bde, Royal Field Artillery.
Aubigny Communal Cemetery Extension

Hi Sylvia

Did you pass this information on to your friend?  I was wondering if it was the right family as Percy and Ada were my great grandparents!

Kind regards
