Ireland / The Gore Family and offshoots
« on: Tuesday 13 October 15 16:11 BST (UK)  »
My wife's family can be traced in Ireland back through the Gore ancestry to Sir Paul Gore 1567-1629 (and beyond but not relevant).  My side of the family can be traced to Sarah Gore 1844 - 1916, born in Ireland and daughter of Sir Henry Gore 1803-1883, died Ireland.  Despite trying to come at it from several different directions, I can find no trace of Henry Gore in Ireland other than those dates, nor any sign of his (presumed) connection with the larger Gore tree.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the reference, which I will follow up.  It seems extraordinary that formal legal records were destroyed when the practice of time-barring far more sensitive material was well established.

The Common Room / Conscientious Objectors

Given the fuss and formality of being registered as a conscientious objector in both WWs, where are the records?  I have Quakers on one side of both my family and my wife's, and only know by word of mouth that my grandfather joined the Friends Ambulance.  But what about the rest?

Better and better.  I hope their archives are complete.  1899 is the year, but although the medal is described as 'Monthly' there is no other date on it.

Many thanks both of you.  I will certainly keep badgering them now that I know they are one and the same.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Amateur Photographer

Does anyone know anything about Amateur Photographer magazine circa 1900?  My family has a monthly medal presented to an ancestor by AP about that time, but no record of what the medal was for - best photo?  I know there is a magazine with that name now, but I have had no response to my questions.

Europe / Swedish records - Victor Vogt
« on: Monday 29 October 12 08:02 GMT (UK)  »
Anyone out there speak enough Swedish to understand the Swedish BMD records? 

I am trying to trace Victor Vogt, born Switzerland 6 Jul 1888, Scarborough in 1911 Census and Stockholm at some point after that where he was a chef.  Any advice welcome!

Oh, you beauty.  Thank you very much indeed.  Not a mis-spelling that had occurred to me.
