Presumably when she applied for her pension it was before internet.

Why not try applying for a birth certificate using the name she was known as?

https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/node/3785

That will tell you if  she was registered as that name.

Whilst she is alive try and get a DNA test, then that might show up close relatives.
Thanks for the reply.
Oh yes she applied way before the internet.
I think my friend has thought about trying DNA. There is bound to be specials coming up could be worth him trying.
Cheers

Is your friend's mother still alive?

Does she have her birth certificate?
Hi there
Yes she is still alive and lives here in NZ.
When she went to apply for her pension here she couldn't provide a birth certificate.
I think she provided a school entry from Ireland.
I will check with my friend just what it was she used.
Unfortunately his mother has Alzheimer's and is unable to provide any information.
Cheers

I would imagine that it is either going to be Ballymoney itself or Coleraine which appears to be the nearest big town to the north.

Is there nothing on the website that indicates what to do if you don't know where the order was made?
I couldn't find anything that would tell me that.

The Common Room / Finding an Adoption record after 1931
« on: Tuesday 05 October 21 00:45 BST (UK)  »
HI all,
A friend who's mother was born 1933/34 in Ballymoney has always said she was adopted.
Reading on the nidirect web site under adoptions you must provide the name of the court where the order was made.
Can anyone tell me how we find that bit of info.?
Cheers
Sue

Herefordshire / Re: Burial place for Harriet Brabant 1862Isaac Cox to
« on: Wednesday 23 June 21 08:51 BST (UK)  »
[Hi,
Not sure about the marriage as yet. There is also an Isaac Cox marriage to Maria Bennet 6 Sep 1818.
Would tie in as the first child Emma was born 1819. Isaac would have been about 19 when he married.
Isaac was born in Kent son of Thomas Cox and Grace. Thomas in the Militia. I have his attestation record and his will.
quote author=garstonite link=topic=850210.msg7176843#msg7176843 date=1624432253]
Isaac Cox married Maria Easton at St Peter ,Bristol , Gloucestershire - is that them?  - if so - were they originally from Gloucestershire ?

Herefordshire / Re: Burial place for Harriet Brabant 1862
« on: Wednesday 23 June 21 07:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Yes she was Harriet Cox born in Brighton.
The family moved to Gloucester where more brothers and a sister were born.
Her parents were Isaac Cox and Maria.
Both Isaac and Maria died in Gloucester. Isaac died 1833 and Maria died 1836. I have their burial records. Isaac's occupation was a tailor and a coal merchant.

in the 1861 census she was living in Maypole Street ?
.......................................................
Harriet Brabant was a woman born in 1826 in Brighton Sussex St Peter. During the 1861 UK Census she was 35 years old and lived in Herefordshire. She appears as the wife of her house in the 1861 UK Census.
LAST NAME:   Brabant
FIRST NAME:   Harriet
MIDDLE NAME:   
BIRTH YEAR:   1826
BIRTH PLACE:   Brighton Sussex St Peter
COUNTY:   Herefordshire
GENDER:   Female
RESIDENCE:   Maylord St
St Peter, Herefordshire
HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS:   
Richard Brabant (34, Male)
Harriet Brabant (35, Female)
William E Brabant (7, Male)
Mederick J Brabant (4, Male)
Ledley J Brabant (2, Male)

so as she was born in Brighton as Harriet Cox -married in Gloucester 1852 to Richard Brabant - you may have to consider she may possibly be in a family grave in Brighton ?

Herefordshire / Burial place for Harriet Brabant 1862
« on: Wednesday 23 June 21 06:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to find a burial place for a Harriet Brabant who died the June quarter 1862.
Harriet is on the 1861 census with her husband.
The were living in the parish of St Peter, Municipal ward of Ledbury. Looks like Maylord Street.
Would love to try and find a burial place for her.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sue.

Devon / Re: Suggestions on where to next to find Elizabeth Radford
« on: Sunday 16 May 21 03:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi Candice,
Thank you for getting back to me.
I have been helping Peter McDavitt who is also descended from Elizabeth and William. Do you know Peter?
I have been helping for 20 odd years now and we still haven't got any further on Elizabeth.
The Elizabeth on the 1841 census with the Catherine could be just a coincidence but I thought it was worth following.
I was hoping to find out more info. on Catherine. Perhaps she is an aunt.
Would like to email you personally so we can exchange ideas. Would you like to email at
Removed   we may have a few bits you don't and visa versa.
Cheers
Sue

Hi Sue,

I am also researching Elizabeth Radford, who is my 4th great grandmother.
I keep hitting dead ends with finding anything about Elizabeth before her marrying William Pote.

I'm not sure if you've seen the following newspaper article, so I just thought I'd mention it...
There is mention of Elizabeth in the Taranaki Herald in 1891 as a new settler arriving on the barque Blenheim. In this article, they mention Elizabeth as Mrs Pote instead of Elizabeth Payne, which gives another reason to believe that Elizabeth Payne on board the Blenheim is Elizabeth Radford.

In case you haven't seen this article, here is the link: https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TH18910702.2.28#print

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Death in Ottawa after 1965 Alexander Lawson
« on: Saturday 15 May 21 07:34 BST (UK)  »
Quote from: *Sandra* on Saturday 15 May 21 06:51 BST (UK)

Unfortunately Canada does not have bmd index.  The privacy laws in Canada are quite strict.
Quick glance doesn't show anything for Alexander Lawson. Is this the one born Greenock who arrived 13 March 1932 going to Seeley's Bay. Ontario.
Were there any other relations in Cnada ?

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes that is the Alexander on the passenger list. I have found him on three different passenger lists.
So he did go back to Scotland but returned to Canada.
As far as we know there were no other family members in Canada though a nephew did visit him in the 1950's.
It is that nephew who now lives here in New Zealand that would like to find out when his uncle died.
Regards
Sue

Sandra
