I'd go with 'primer' for the occupation - if it were 'printer' I think the 't' would be more noticeable. For the birthplace, 'Midx' is probably an abbreviation of Middlesex, especially considering the ditto on the entry below before St Martins. For the second part, I'm tempted to say perhaps 'Shoe L...

Wondering if anyone had any insight on this, or suggestions as to where to look for more info? My 3x great grandfather James Pullen is living on/by Mitcham Common, Surrey in the 1881 census: John Powell, age 80, widower, tinker, birthplace not known James Pullen, age 28, unmarried, lab, born Wisley ...

Struggling to find a marriage reg between Emily R Wright and a somebody Gates. The pair had a daughter Marjorie Betty Gates in Bristol, 1912. Emily R later marries Richard Rolfe in Bristol, 1948.

Not sure if it's me or the search engines today! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could anyone help me with the following? I'm having trouble finding the medal index card and/or medal roll for Samuel Merrill of Sound, Cheshire? Using the Absent Voters List, I've found the following: Spring 1919: 3917, Merrill Samuel, Sound heath, 178389 418th Agric. Coy. Autumn 1919: 1133, Merril...

Yes, I have the birth registrations for the other Pountney children - it's only Mary Alice and Albert that I can't find. You're correct with that birth reg. for Mercy though, Elijah married Eliza Barnett (nee Johnson) in 1892 - Mercy, Eliza and Harriett on the 1891 census are Eliza's children from a...

Can anyone help me find birth registrations for the following? I've been digging about for what seems like an age but haven't come up with anything useful! Mary Alice & Albert Poutney Both baptised 04/02/1881 at Christchurch, Gailey, Staffs. Children of Elijah & Alice Poutney (maiden name Je...

Can anyone read what the last entry is under the country column?
Probably glaringly obvious but reading old cursive has never been my strong suit!

Thanks Jimmy, I don't suppose anyone can find them in the 1939 Register can they? Can't see image as I don't have a paying subscription to FMP at the moment but searching for 'Dorothy Rose Hart b.1901' got a hit for me in the 1939 register. Second result: Dorothy Hart, born 1900, living in Eastbour...

Hello all - long time no talk from me regarding this thread! I recently ordered the birth certificates for Lily Sheridan and Thomas Henry Sheridan. The info they give is as follows: When/where born: 1st April 1897, 17 Allen Street Name/sex: Lily Sheridan, girl Father/occupationr: Thomas Sheridan, fo...

I think Richard married Harriett Alice Marsh, daughter of Nathaniel Marsh (provided I traced him backwards correctly!!) Richard, son of Isabella Rogers, is the only Richard Rogers I've found that gave his birthplace as Woolwich, which is what Richard William, who married Harriett Marsh, does consist...

I think I've posted all the info I have. John William dies 1844. Death reg: Death reg: 4th quarter 1844 Greenwich Vol 5 Pg 207 Line 158 Thanks for Isabella's baptism. At least now I have the name of her father, which might help in checking any marriage records. If I find anything else, I'll let you ...

Yes, those are the ones Jimmy. No, I've never seen the actual record of Hannah's baptism. I'm working with FamilySearch as I don't have a subscription to a paying site at the moment, so I can only see transcriptions. Father's occupation of ship's carpenter on her baptism does fit with the father's o...
