Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Occupation
« on: Friday 20 June 25 15:38 BST (UK)  »
Not sure if this image I think I've uploaded has worked? An extract of my late Grandparents Marriage Certificate.  Wondering what the bottom occupation is? Looks like Soderer? (My Grandmother's occupation)

The Common Room / Random Cold Call from My Heritage Website
« on: Wednesday 06 November 24 15:58 GMT (UK)  »
I've just received a phone call from someone claiming they are from My Heritage website asking if I need any help with their website as I've not built a family tree on there or anything, and could they help me with anything!

Has anyone else had this call? I'm thinking it's a hoax and politely declined any help.

Strange! ???

His Burnt Attestation Papers 1918 when he was Conscripted as Baden Briggs and Demobbed at Kemmel Park still exist - but like my Granddad he Enlisted on Demobbed Day and his next Army Period in the 1920s have not been Scanned by Ancestry or Findmypast because they are held in the National Archives now.
My Granddad is also missing from the 1921 Census presumably Overseas

Hi, can you tell me where you have found this info please? You say you've found my Grandfather's "Burnt Attestation Papers 1918?" (not sure what that is) I've been told my Grandfather was not in the forces, but maybe he was(?)

He was a police constable in Staffordshire in 1926

And in the newspaper clipping "Mr Hervey" may have been his sister in law's husband (she married a Hervey so it could be one of that side of the family)

Where are his parents and siblings

I've found his parents and siblings in 1921 censuses so that's all good.

Many Police Officers were in the Forces before becoming one.
In which case he could have been in the Army in India in 1921
What was his Occupation ion his Marriage Certificate in 1928 when he Married?

Thanks for your reply.  His Occupation was listed on the Marriage Certificate as Police Constable.  There are Military records on Find My Past but apart from the name Briggs, nothing else is helpful.
