There is a record showing the birth of a Margaret Duncan - Sept Qtr 1856 Vol1a Page 281 - District St Martin-in-the Fields. I This looks promising as George Duncan and Elizabeth Hooper baptised two daughters in the church on Trafalgar Square. The date is just feasible given the dates of birth of Eli...

Hi Norfolk Nan Yes, George Duncan and Elizabeth Hooper are Margaret’s parents. However, George enrolled in the Grenadier Guards rather than the Scots Fusiliers and do not think the fellow born in Thurso is the same man. Hi Aveline Thank you for your replies. I have all the information contained in y...

I have a short hand written note made during a conversation with my late mother. It concerns a Margaret Duncan/Duncannon (known as Peg), the daughter of George Duncan and Elizabeth Hooper. Margaret had a daughter Nancy who in turn had a son named Graham, the note mentions Burnt Oak which is in North...

I think that you can see the history of counties, boroughs, etc on FreeBMD. So if you have an event, click on the location hyperlink for more information.

A report in the Hampshire Independent, 23 June 1922, may be of the same case? The OCR text transcript (all I have) starts (italics = tidy up) A MAD IMPULSE. SOLDIER' STOLE A 'CYCLE.

I have just trawled the GRO death records from 1929 to 1957 just in case the T W J Nicholson death was missed on FreeBMD. Nothing doing, by 1957, Nicholson would have been 77 years old so it's possible that his wife just said she was a widow to avoid embarrassment and he was still alive after her de...

Great find, jonwarrn! The Sussex Agricultural Express article can be found on Find My Past in it's entirety. If David doesn't have FMP, I can send him the article. We are speechless! Not the kind of news that we were expecting - well found and thank you Jon. We found the full article but thanks for...

EDIT... I think they've got lost with Florence death. Eva Skinner is at the same address but Florence has the wrong husband and a widow according to the CWG site. I was looking for a newspaper report on Grace in 1912. As you said, the trees don't make sense, even though a few seem well reseached. m...
