Hi Cider drinker
Thanks for taking time out to reply
Ive had others say this and also been told that back then you didnt need a death cert to remarry so if they did do a bunk off to Canada USA etc they just say hed died no death cert for him either as ive checked ?
The only thing might go against it is seeing where was his regiments based during his time in cornwall ? Doubt i could find this out either unless i cam somehow find access via chelsea pensioner records
Id love to be able to finally say this is him after years of trying 😮🙏🏻
As for cider drinking my prefererd ones are Old Rosie and Westons 8.4 😮😁🙏🏻thanks for the looks ups anything else you think may help please feel free to help all the best 👌

Hi All
I havent researched my 5 x Great Grandfather for a long time but since i recently did a dna test and added it to gedmatch i thought id have a search again for him
All i have is
Denis McDonald
Born circa 1771 Dublin
Not a lot i know 😮i have records for his marriage in Cornwall ( see attatched)and his 2 childrens baptisms but no death record ?
Is anyone out there that would good enough to do me a quick look for him on Ancestry please? Or if you have him in your tree or can give me any tips or advice id be extremely greatful thank you
I thought i owe it to him to try one last time things have come along way since i looked interestingly my dna showed no Irish dna which may tie in with rumour that Denis parents fled to Ireland after Culloden ?
Many thanks
Kind regards
Duncan

The Common Room / Victorian Tattoos?
« on: Monday 07 July 25 12:03 BST (UK)  »
Good Morning All
Whilst receiving a gaol record for one of my ancestors i noticed in the description he had Tattoos on his hand a anchor and IHS ? As he was living in Cornwal ( but originally from Scotland) im guessing the anchor ink is self explanatary but im curious to know if the IHS stood for anything?
Any help or info would  be great many thanks
