Thanks again Roy,

As you suggest, I have added this new information to my records.
Tough times eh :O(

Cheers,

Hi Roy,

Wow !  Thanks so much for that information - really appreciate you remembering my search after all this time.  As you know, I have absolutely no experience of searching in records abroad, but what you have found certainly appears to be a pretty reasonable match for Anna, though the birthdate is worrying.  Would you say her name was a very common one at that time ?

I'd like to think that perhaps as more inforation comes online I will be able to follow this up in the future.  As always, solving one question raises several more :o)

Thanks again Roy.

Geoff.

The Common Room / Re: UK Social Security Records available to relatives ?
« on: Thursday 10 March 11 14:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Stan,

Thanks for that info.  So, since the couple had no children and all their siblings are dead and they were my Great-Aunt and Uncle, would I be counted as next of kin ? 

Also would non-medical records be things like Social Security details ?

This sounds a bit more promising  :)

Geoff.

Thanks for that.  What a shame.  A resource like that not even available to surviving relatives after the death of the person. 

The government could make a lot of money by selling copies (like BMD certs)

Ah well, another great potential lead bites the dust  :-\

Cheers all,
Geoff.

Hmm, thanks Lizzie,

I wondered if there might be some sort of 'access to information' type request I could make.  Goodness only knows where you would make such a request though.

Is it possible to obtain copies of the Social Security and medical records of a deceased relative if you are their only remaining next of kin ? 

My Great Uncle and Great Aunt died in Buxton, Derbyshire in 1981 and 1991 and there is much speculation about their backgrounds since they travelled widely abroad working for the diplomatic service (but we don't have any exact dates and places yet).

Suffolk / OAK(E)MAN/OKEMAN - Suffolk
« on: Tuesday 08 March 11 23:05 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone have any Oakmans in Suffolk please ? In particular marrying into the Barton family in the Newmarket area in mid-1700s and having a daughter Ann Oakeman Barton who later married one Daniel Leech?

Lots of data to swap.
