Cheshire / Re: Been reading up on Flaybrick History
« on: Thursday 29 April 10 15:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi

My Grandmother, Lucy Price, was buried in Flaybrick in a Communal grave in c.1925. She was RC. I live on the South coast but managed to see Flaybrick once but could not get in! Do you know who would hold the records for burials there please?

The Common Room / William Elliott b. 1930/31
« on: Monday 20 July 09 14:27 BST (UK)  »
This is a tricky one! I am still trying to search for my birth Father, William Elliott. All I know about him is that he served with the British Army, St Quinten Lines, Catterick Camp in 1950/51, when he would have been 22 years of age (approx).  In civillian life he was a shoe repairer. Unfortunately I do not have an Army no for him.

Does anyone have any ideas please?

Hi

Saw the name Schofield. My Gt Grandmother's maiden name was Schofield and she was born in Liverpool. Is Schofield an Irish name please?

Library and FHS Lookups / Re: St Clare's Convent Pantasaph Holywell

Have just recalled that a BBC web site, 'Ask a Local' had a long running thread about St Clare's, Pantasaph. Many wished to find out where the records are. I contacted the Web site and the thread has now been closed because it had run for 7 years!

I'll see if I can search on the new BBC site for a 'link', such as Flintshire, to pass on the info about records at Flintshire Archives, Hawarden

I realise these archives of the Convent of St Clare's will be of particular interest to descendants of orphans who were placed at St Clare's, Pantasaph. The 100 year rule applies and I am trying to search for a way of applying to view a record relating to mid 1920's - 1935 approx. Is the Freedom of Information Act the way to go about this please?

If anyone is searching for some of the records for St Clare's Convent, Pantasaph, they are held at Hawarden, Flintshire Archive.

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Re: Lucy Price Birkenhead 1883; 1884; 1885
« on: Wednesday 10 June 09 08:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi Fiona

Lucy Price never married. On the good old Creed Register there is an entry of death for Lucy Price. (Wirral Archives sent me a photocopy of the appropriate entry in the post as it's too far to travel there). The entry says she died in 1926 but she was then aged 40. However, I do realise dates could have easily been mixed up for some reason or other. Thanks for you help.



Regards

Jo

Hi

My Grandmother was put in the Birkenhead Union Workhouse when she was expecting my late Mother. I am the person who was adopted.

The Creed Register is the Religious Register used at the Workhouse.

The Creed Register for the Birkenhead Union indicated that Lucy Price was born in 1884 and that at her death she had been 40 years of age.
