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: Mystery uniform/insignia
The text on Artogonou’s photo looks as though it could be GLL, I can’t make it out easily but may be something to bear in mind

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...

This one arrived today. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry, as he would have been 134 years old at the time of marriage

Re: WDYTYA - 9 June - Richard Osman
I agree, it was an interesting episode. But am I the only one who spotted Edward Gillam one entry below Gabriel in the long-term workhouse records? He had been there a year longer than Gabriel and I would be quite surpised if they were not related.

Re: Gladden emigrants Norfolk-Canada
I've got passenger lists for 1846 from Ancestry's New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 . Yes, I know that you said Canada but the family in question spent some time in the USA then, in 1850/51, decided to go to Canada. Worth a double check in case yours did similar? I did wonder about that, Adriam, ...
