Yorkshire (West Riding) / Pulfords Leeds
« on: Tuesday 27 May 08 12:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

As I run a Pulford FH website and have been contacted by someone who has got documents relating to Pulford from the Leeds area from a neighbor who has just died. If anybody is researching Pulford in this area please let know and I'll put you in touch with the person.

Regards,
Nic Pulford

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Census 1841, 51, 61 - Lucy Ann CUSSON
« on: Thursday 20 December 07 19:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Dave,

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, I had not posting anything on rootschat for ages so had not been checking for replies. I had completely forgotten this piece of research I was doing.

Thanks so much for the PR dates I had not got any of them. I'm reasonably sure that John Watling Gissing is the son of John and Lucy Ann, just born before they got married. I think the 1871 census reference to step son (step was an addition) is wrong it was someone trying to explain the Gissing.

Having said that I have seen so many children born out of wedlock and nearly always they then to take the married fathers name. Frequently even when they weren't the actual father. It leaves a slight doubt.

take a look at me website http://www.pulfords.org.uk/getperson.php?personID=I1508&tree=Pulfords

Once again thanks very much.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Another Challange
« on: Wednesday 10 October 07 20:20 BST (UK)  »
H,

can you see what you can make of this please. I have no idea what has happened to the photo, which I do not have only this JPG. It is from 1936 not that old.

I have Photoshop elements but after a couple of improvements I can make I seem to make it worse. Any guidance of what to do would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nic

Occupation Interests / Help With Mariners
« on: Tuesday 09 October 07 09:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I have two relations the died young and according their admon's they were both mariners. We now have discovered in a PR marriage that their uncle was a ship owner. So the question originally was did these two die at sea and did they serve on the uncles ship?

How does one go about finding any of this out. Can one even find what ships the uncle owned. We are talking about Great Yarmouth and the early 19th century.

Thanks

World War One / Re: WWI Hat Badge Northumberland Reg.
« on: Sunday 09 September 07 21:30 BST (UK)  »
I sure I must be getting senile, yes he was in the Cambridgeshire Reg. So it is a fit.

The photo collection remains a problem but at least those two are in place which is a major advance. Apparently we have more photos on the way. So frequently in FH answers give rise to more questions. So Onward and up-wards.

So thanks for all the help you two. I might be back with another problem, but a new thread.

Thanks,
Nic

Tyrone / Re: Pulford Cappia, Ireland
« on: Sunday 09 September 07 16:53 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for that,

I have shared all I have, there seems to be no other trace of them in English census or BMD land the I can find (and I think I'm pretty inventive).

The reason I put Cappia in Tyrone is that one of the only other references I found to Cappia was another FH website giving it as a birth place.

There is a Cappia in Italy do you thing the enumerator could not tell the difference ;).

I'll need to be more inventive.

Tyrone / Pulford Cappia, Ireland
« on: Sunday 09 September 07 12:12 BST (UK)  »
Trying to put some loose ends together and have a George Pulford who appears in the 1851 Norfolk census, not before or after.

the details of him, his wife and daughter are

   George Pulford    Visitor   Married   1823   Ag Lab   Berghpton, Norfolk, England   
   Elizabeth Pulford    Wife   Married   1824   Ag Lab   Cappia, Ireland   
   Ann Pulford    Granddaughter      1848   Ag Lab   Brooke, Norfolk, England

It took me a long time to work out that Cappia is in County Tyrone (or is it) as if you google it not a lot comes up.

My question is there any trace of this family in Ireland.

Thanks,
Nic

World War One / Re: WWI Hat Badge Northumberland Reg.

Hi Atom 12,

No that is not him he is not him he is Albert M and servered 1916 - 1919 according to 'Beccles men'.

Both Albert and Arthur survive the war and had families.

Piecing it all together gradually. You know in FH one tends to try, or rather we have, to go back as far and as fast as one can forgetting to document what is not that long gone. I also like the idea of trying to trace all living relatives. I'm still forgetting the ones that are reltively close.

World War One / Re: WWI Hat Badge Northumberland Reg.

Hi Great Discussion,

however, as implied in my last email, thing were not clear as to who was who. So with further comparing and using what we knew were accurate here a couple more photos of Arthur.

Also found his records on Ancestry so I can see he spent only a few months in France and a year in Dublin.

The Badge seems to be the Essex badge as far as I can tell. The reason I started out with Northumberland Fus. was that was what was given in The Beccels Men in WWI a book which I have transcribed and put on the foxearth website.

In the photo with two soldiers the younger one his brother Albert was said to be in the Northampton Reg. The cap badge is consistant with that. Cannot find Albert's record on Ancestry.

Thanks for the help,
Nic
