What a splendid photograph of Colonel Brent, must be one of the earliest in that booklet (which has a wonderful collection of Woodbury folk)

Re: Military Service Records - Any Progress?

This week I had an email from the FHS of Cheshire to say that online ordering for army records is now active via the gov.uk website - Sorry, I can’t post the link here. It’s not going to get you records any quicker I suspect but it’s a start. My wife ordered her father’s records in February 2021 by ...

Re: FMP 1921 Census

A new subscription to Premium will be £199.99 (less any loyalty discount you may have. ) I don’t know how much it costs to...

Re: Ancestry "hint"

You are right, of course, Adrian in the general sense as I could very easily have an error. This particular one I am pretty sure is correct, with children at the "right" time and a possible burial in London in 1839 (where, I believe, he lived most of his life, and the "hint" Geor...

Ancestry "hint"
