Family History Beginners Board / genealogy Software
« on: Monday 04 August 08 15:21 BST (UK) »
Would like to know more about genealogy software. What do you recommend? I am fairly computer literate and would like something with a variety of manipulative features (attach records and anecdotal information , photos etc as well as view variety of records and people (generations) on a page. Would prefer computer not web based as not always online.
Dont want to pay a fortune but happy to pay value for money. Just don't know what is out there.
Any suggestions would be very welcome.
;DThanks

I have come across new information. I have been informed by my grandfather's sister that she thinks their father wasn't Saunders but Herbert William Harris born in battersy London (spelling?
). He married first and had a daughter named beatrice then married in 1923 as Saunders to my great grandmother and had Jim, bill, Joan Edward and Peggy. 11 yrs later had molly. Jim, Joan and Ted were sent to warren farm (around 1933) when their father was imprisoned for bigamy. Peggy (diphtheria) and bill (polio) stayed with their mother.
Where can I find details regarding their placement at warren farm and/or bigamy records on line. Also, numerous Harris bmd entries - how can i ascertain a likely match??
thanks

Sussex / looking for records
« on: Wednesday 02 July 08 16:38 BST (UK) »
Hi
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find orphanage records (Brighton 1930s). Would they be available or 'sealed'?? Looking for James, William and George Saunders.
Also looking for criminal records (1930s brighton or hastings)
thank

Thank you sooooooo much. I didn't know you could do that. I thought I had to use the index search. I found my grandad- What a buzz.
Thanks again

« on: Sunday 29 June 08 15:45 BST (UK) »(blush) Now I just feel silly but I would like some help please. How do I conduct searches (successfully). I've subscribed to ancestory uk site but am unable to find any of my families birth records in the register. I know they have to be there as you all gave me the information here.
I'm obviously doing something very wrong - any advice/help would be very, very, very much appreciated

« on: Friday 20 June 08 06:04 BST (UK) » Wow thank you all. The sites and information you have offered is just amazing. It appears that we have found the start of our family. It sounds like we are definately on the right track with the right people. My mother recognises some names as uncles etc too. I spent soooo long trying to get basic information with no results. I am very happy to subscribe but needed to know which sites to go to. This is so exciting.A huge thank you once again

England / SAUNDERS - Bigamy Records
« on: Thursday 19 June 08 15:33 BST (UK) »
Hi,
My mum and I are starting on our journey to find out where we came from. We only seem to be able to go back to george edward saunders b aug 1927. All we know is his father (whom we were told was Herbert Saunders) was jailed for bigamy. We're having trouble finding who he was - perhaps saunders was not his legal name? George was sent to an orphanage when he was 7 (1934??) He wasnt adopted but returned to his mother at some stage. Married Marjorie Rose richardson and had 5 chn (lived in brighton) One of which as my mother born 1950. Emmigrated to western australia 1960's.
I want to know if there is somewhere I can find court/legal documents re bigamy around 1934 to see who he was. Does any one know where I can start.
Thanks
Mel
