Caernarvonshire Lookup Requests / Llandinorwig, Eglwys Crist, MI
« on: Monday 14 April 25 10:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Does anyone have a copy of the Llandinorwig Eglwys Crist MI and would be able to perform a quick look-up for me?

I'm trying to find out if the following couple have a marker on their grave:

John Williams, died 15th of May 1867, aged 57, and his wife,
Martha Williams, died 19th of February 1898, aged 86

John's death certificate give his address as just "Ebenezer," while Martha died at "Battery, Ebenezer."

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Keith.

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / William Thomas Ruabon MI
« on: Thursday 01 August 24 17:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Does anyone have a copy of the St. Mary's, Ruabon, monumental inscriptions, and if so could they check to see if there is a particular memorial recorded?

I'm looking for William Thomas, who lived in Bank Street, Ponciau (Ponkey). He died there on the 30th of May 1853, aged 63, and he was buried at Ruabon on the 2nd of June.

I have two main points of interest - who else is buried with him, and the location of the grave in the churchyard.

If anyone can help it would be great. A descendant of William's is over from the US at the moment and will be visiting the area over the next couple of days, and she particularly wants to be able to see the grave if possible.

Cheers,

Keith.

Midlothian / Edinburgh/Leith Schools
« on: Monday 11 December 23 10:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I wonder if I could tap into the local knowledge of those of you familiar with Edinburgh and Leith?

I'm trying to work out which schools a boy born in Edinburgh on the 4th of December 1922 would have attended.

Not sure where the family lived before 1929, but between 1929 and 1931 they lived at 47 Madeira Street, Leith, after which they moved to 100 Montgomery Street, Edinburgh, where they remained for many years.

I would be interested to know which school he would have attended from the Madeira Street address.

It was been suggested to me that after moving to Montgomery Street he would have attended Leith Walk School. Could anyone confirm this, and would he have moved on to an upper school when he reached the age to do so, or would he have stayed at Leith Walk for the remainder of his school days?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Keith.

Thanks Andy.

That does make sense, that they were all map makers. So O.S.O. could stand for Ordnance Survey Office?

World War Two / O.S.O.
« on: Monday 07 August 23 10:34 BST (UK)  »
Not quite armed forces, but war-related certainly.

I've just found someone on the 1939 register, living at West Park Road, Southampton. He, like a number of other men living on that street, have the occupation "Draughtsman O.S.O.".

I just can't think what it could be, but can anyone tell me what O.S.O. stands for?

Regards,

Keith.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Glamorgan Archives Lookup
« on: Tuesday 30 August 22 09:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Is there anyone who could check a couple of baptisms at Glamorgan Archives for me please?

Unfortunately, details are scant as they have simply been noted on a scrap of paper, without any indication as to the source of the information, nor who made the note.

Both are supposed to have taken place in Neath, but I have checked online and there is no trace of them. Glamorgan Archives have also checked and confirm they are not online. So now I need to check the original sources.

They are:

Edward Chapple, son of Henry Edward Chapple, baptised 12th of May 1812
Henry Edward Chapple, son of Henry & Jane Chapple, baptised 27th of May 1786.

I would need the following checked:

Neath registers (also, are there any duplicate registers which are not online?)
Bishop’s Transcripts
Are there any non-conformist chapels in the area which have not been included in the RG4 record set?
Any other nearby church which Neath residents might have used.

If anybody can help that would be great, and much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Keith.
