Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Unknown Mackie in Guernsey, Channel Islands
« on: Yesterday at 06:15 »
When Guernsey refers to married women, they normally quote their maiden surname, rather than their married surname.

We will have to investigate if this “Ellen” was actually married to A Mackie or whether a mistake was made when she was named in this record.

Thanks,

Hi All,

Have found the following extract in the 1869 St Peter Port Poor Relief Records - can anyone read the crossed out Name age 57 being the Widow of A Mackie ? Their residence is shown as being Pollet Street which had “2” family members.



Thanks,

Al & Al

Arthurk, Charles Stevens was still with the family in 1841 his occupation then being a Track Distributor.

Mckha489, I did not see that name originally, but you could be right.

Thank you both,

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / 1831 Harrow Census
« on: Saturday 15 June 24 15:22 BST (UK)  »
My Wife is lucky to have found the attached 1831 Census, which shows her related Zachariah Stevens, Wife and three Children.

However there are four further persons stated above her family, whose Names and Occupations we cannot read.

Can anyone guess who they are ?

Thanks,

The messaging system hangs from time to time.

One message we sent took 8 years before the response came back.

Likewise, Ancestry has emailed us to advise that we have had two new messages received - They still have not appeared in the inbox!

Technical Help / Re: Cookies on RootsChat - can 'Reject All' be added please

I agree, it does take too long to tick all of the boxes and a “reject all” box would be of great help as this is reappearing on a regular basis.

Thanks,
