Who When Where

Thank again for all the help with this - yes it is Charles Spearing this time. I have noted the records to search for Charles - some I have already found for him, but I will now check that I haven't missed anything. He's proving to be an interesting member of the Spearing family. I think I am buildi...

Hello Just a quick question - has anyone had to research the Garrison of the Tower of London, Tower Within Extra Parochial, Whitechapel, London & Middlesex, England? This has come up on FMP as a possible place of one of my Spearing soldiers on the 1851 census. I can see there are records on TNA,...

Hello Thank you so much for the Overseas Military births links - I have been down yet another rabbit hole looking at these, and I think I may have to send off for at least one to rule out/in William or Joseph Spearing. I have also tonight found lots more Pension records for William Spearing. And I h...

Hello everyone Thomas Spearing - I only have a year for Thomas' death - not yet found a burial entry (and the same for other trees on Ancestry but no records to prove this date, this is why I am not 100% sure he died in 1806) I believe that there were two children named William - One born 1786 - die...

William Spearing = I had not found a marriage for him so thank you for this, I will look at this more closely now. Joseph Spearing = still searching for more mili...

Hello I am researching my 5 x Great Grandfather Thomas Spearing, and came across a note on the death certificate of his wife Rachel which reads 'widow of Thomas Spearing Private 40th Regiments'. So this got me searching for Thomas and the 40th Regiment. I have found very little but have maybe discov...

Hi everyone
Thanks for all your comments, sounds like we have all had the same issues and problems. My local Records office doesn't have a copy of this which is a shame.
I will keep trying, and will try the "speech marks" round the name as suggested.

Thanks again

Hello I am hoping someone can me some tips to ordering a will from the updated probatesearch.service.gov.uk I am finding it almost impossible to find a will and order it, since the updates were made. Has anyone worked out how it works - I put in all the details for the person and the dates it asks f...

Thanks everyone for having a look and replying.
It's much appreciated.
