Ill ask him, he's just asked me about these specific things as he's done most of the research on the easily found things like census.

I believe the mine at New Cumnock is the Knockshinnoch Castle Colliery.

Hi an elderly friend of my Dad's has asked me to try and find out some more information about his father. Him and his brother are trying to find out if the story they were told was true about their father working at the coal mine in New Cumnock in East Ayrshire. Ive had a quick look at Scotlands People but cant find anything there about mining. Is there a national mining central point for information in Scotland? Or an Archives in Ayrshire I can contact to ask for him? His Dad was born in Kilmarnock in 1905 and apparently also attended the Camborne School of mines in Cornwall so Im going to try and contact the archives in Cornwall for any information from them. Thanks Vicky

World War Two / Ordering Army Military Records from WW2 - is it the TNA or MOD now?
« on: Wednesday 10 January 24 11:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, Ive not ordered military records for a while and a friend has asked me to order some for them. Their Grandad was in the Army and served in WW2 and Burma. Has everything moved over to the TNA now so I order from them or do I still request the records from the MOD? And do we need proper certified birth and death certificates or will a pdf do if they ask for one? Many Thanks Vicky

Europe / Re: De Jonge 1923 birth record in either Belgium or Netherlands

Garstonite - no its another granddaughter, so that means it was most likely another daughter not the one with the surprise.. which is good.

Thank you! Sorry to be a pain. Thats why is been soo difficult cos we cant ask the daughter more info about her Mums family... my friend is trying to talk to her mums siblings to see what they know without letting the secret out, but they dont know much, its that generation who just dont talk much about where they came from. My grandfather was the same, he never talked about his Dad being from Germany and what it was like having a German father during the war.
