Family History Beginners Board / Re: Can't seem to find recent records on Ancestry?

« on: Monday 06 October 25 07:58 BST (UK) »

Thanks for the reply. So I'm not going mad then! Birth/marriage records are definitely not available, however hard I look.

Yes I know about the Censuses, so I've done all that.

Looks like I'm going to have to rely on other genealogists for their info.

Family History Beginners Board / Can't seem to find recent records on Ancestry?

« on: Sunday 05 October 25 17:24 BST (UK) »

Hello, I'm currently researching my USA side of my family tree and have lots of names to research. Dating around 1952 -to the present, or as close to the present as possible. I am constantly hitting brick walls as all the names I'm trying to look up (for births, marriages, deaths) there seems to be no records of these people at all.

Does Ancestry not have recent records like these? Especially where people are still living?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Occupation

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)
