Thanks everyone. Siddaway makes perfect sense as that is a family name for my ancestors too.

Kindest regards

Hello,

I a struggling to decipher the occupation of the groom in this record. I know he used to be a signalman for the railways but this looks nothing like that. Could somebody decipher it for me?

Thank you in advance

Kevin

Just as a matter of interest, was the death at sea, and was the body recovered / brought back /buried?
TY

Not that I am aware of. His son was the informant so I kind of think he may have died at home, although the death address is totally unfamiliar in the family, but I can't find him in the 1841 census. His death address is Tower Road in Tweedmouth. I guess I will never know. Just another mystery.

Thank you for this. Very interesting. One of the hardest things about doing genealogy is accepting that there are some things you will never know.

Thanks again.

The Common Room / New (to me) Death Cause
« on: Tuesday 10 September 24 02:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

This really isn't so much question, more of an odd cause of death, at least it seems strange these days. I have a relative who died in 1846. He was a fishman and 68 years old when he died. The cause of death is really something I have never come across before. The cause of death is listed as "Unknown" and the death went uncertified.

I am not sure why a post mortem wasn't performed (cost I am assuming). I also am thinking he wasn't at home when he died based off the address of death, but, that said, I don't see him in the 1841 census so he could have lived there. I know his son was present at death though.

It just seems so strange to have an unknown and uncertified cause of death.

Isn't genealogy fun :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Street Name in Wisbech
« on: Sunday 08 September 24 03:33 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am trying to decipher the street name from this certificate. The birth was in Wisbech and I think the address is 32 Russell Street but would like other peoples opinions please. This birth was in 1877 if that helps.

Kindest regards
