The Common Room / Re: Bona Vacantia
« on: Wednesday 13 November 24 16:45 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks. I  believe I have all the information they require already, I was more looking for people's personal experience in dealing with it themselves. Just wanted to see how easy or hard it is in a real life situation. Obviously the heir hunters are trying to convince me it's super difficult and beyond me.

I wondered if anyone on the forum has made an application for an unclaimed estate themselves, rather than via an heir hunting company and would be willing to share their experiences of doing so.
I've just made initial contact with them and wondered what the potential pitfalls are. I've got heir hunting companies here, there and everywhere telling me that I won't be able to do it myself and that I need their expertise........

Thanks in advance

It costs £30.00 for them to undertake a search.

I apologise for giving the wrong information. The system must have changed since I requested service from them. Sorry

Thanks emeltom. I've found it now all thanks to you, on a site I don't have a subscription with.

The Common Room / Pre 1837 Marriage Nowlan/Mullins
« on: Wednesday 03 January 24 14:24 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find a marriage between a Daniel John Nowlan and Catherine Mullins. I am putting it here because I have absolutely no idea where it took place as the family did move around a bit. According to census entries Daniel was born c.1811 (occ soap maker/manufacturer) in Spitalfields Middlesex and Catherine was born c.1812 in Ireland. I have found her alleged maiden name from GRO birth entries for their children born after the birth index came into being. One of their children is called Octaves (or Octavious b.1849), so I am sure that these are their children.

Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Very odd Common Ancestor / Thrulines match
« on: Monday 16 January 23 13:36 GMT (UK)  »
Ancestry trees are definitely to be taken with a pinch of salt. I sometimes look at them, but validate anything plausible with my own in depth research. Most of time this disproves them. For example, for one of my brick walls there are several identical trees which have a mother who was born over 20 years after her son's baptism...
