Essex Resources & Offers / Re: Find your Deceased - Rippleside Cemetery - Website problem??
« on: Tuesday 19 January 16 04:09 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for the reply Annette - sorry I guess I could have explained better - the web address to access the incredibly useful "Find Your Deceased" site has been - for many years -

http://cemweb.barking-dagenham.gov.uk/servlet/Telesearch

This allowed you to access Rippleside, Eastbrookend and Chadwell Heath records - including seeing who else was buried in the same grave. I have often found it didn't like being accessed in Firefox - whilst Chrome usually worked OK but now it's not working at all apparently

I know the Council itself has changed it's web address to http://www.lbbd.gov.uk/ but the old site for the Cemetery Records was certainly still working last month - albeit slowly at times.

I know from previous posts that a few others on here were fairly regular users - hence wondering if anyone knew what was going on

Cheers
Sue

Essex Resources & Offers / Find your Deceased - Rippleside Cemetery - Website problem??
« on: Monday 18 January 16 22:40 GMT (UK)  »
I've been unable to access the Barking and Dagenham Council's website to search for burials for over a fortnight now. I know it's been 'fragile' at times in the past - and wondered if it had moved or heaven forbid - been taken down.

Anyone else having the same problem? I've used Firefox, Chrome and the new MS browser - all are saying no response from server........

Thanks in advance for any advice
Sue

Thanks very much for the kind offer - I was over a few years ago and managed to find and photograph quite a few headstones - though unfortunately many of the references I had referred to unmarked graves

I'll have a look through my records and see if I have any more recent finds to have checked out

If you are a local - have you heard anything about the website??

Cheers
Sue

Thanks for that - I've got a few new deaths I wanted to check for burials probably at Rippleside and I always like to look to see who else is buried in the grave - have made a few discoveries :)

Hopefully if they are aware of the problem they will get the site up and running again soon as it is such a useful tool

On this subject - can anyone get the website "Find Your Deceased" - http://cemweb.barking-dagenham.gov.uk/servlet/Telesearch - to work

It's been "fragile" for a while and I found it seemed to prefer Chrome to Firefox but for the last few weeks I haven't been able to access it at all - I have sent a message through the "website errors" form but haven't had a response

Is anyone close enough to check with the Council??

Thanks in advance

England / Re: William CHUBB, 36th Jacob's Horse, born 17th Feb 1882 but where? India/Military?

From the info there Jon - I'd say you are right to dismiss him - I can't see there is any chance of that William being yours

Do you have any possible alternate sources to clarify a dob for your Indian Army William??

I'll see what I can find for descendents of the Islington William - I'd still put a few bob on his being the one you are after :)

Good luck for the exams - after all this distraction

Cheers
Sue

OK - sorry scrap that theory - from Family Search it looks like Doris wasn't truthful about her age either!!

From her baptism record she is shown as born 25th October 1895 in Madras - rather than 1898 - baptised 1st December 1895

Jon - I wonder if the age variations were perhaps to "disguise" the reasonably large age difference between William and Doris - actually about 16 and a half years (if my mental arithmetic is right!! Feb or Mar 1882 to Oct 1898)

On the The Times of India marriage transcription William's age was given as 42 - he would actually have been 43 - nearly 44 - while Doris was recorded as 29 - when she would only have been just 27

I presume there wasn't a date of birth shown on William's 1950 death cert??

From a quick search it looks as though at least a couple of William's siblings did marry  - so descendents might be worth chasing.

Know you've got a lot on your plate at the moment - but is it possible dates of birth have got a bit muddled - the Bootle William looks to have been registered in 1883 rather than 1882 - are there any other sources you can double check?

Cheers Sue

Posting around the same time Jon - sad about the descendants but hopefully will tie up some loose ends - look forward to hearing the outcome

Cheers Sue
