Re: Mary Ann Keating

They had all come in on the 22nd May 1896 as Murray. Henry gone to workhouse schools as Murray same day.
But how have Mary and William come back as Keating on the 26th? Is there a discharge? All very confusing at the moment.

James Murray, 63, Mar...

Re: Fold3 - New UK Military Records (WW1)

I guess it's wait for 11 November and hope Fold3 (which is where the proper size image is) have a freeby. Ancestry are already into their annual period of free military records. But no sign so far of anything similar on Fold3. Perhaps there is still time? They do offer a 7 day free trial. I think a...

Re: WW1 service record questions

Like I said, there are over 100 images in his file on ancestry. The info is in there. Henry seems to have had some medical problems whilst in the army.
Is there a birth reg for him in London?

Re: Samuel Allcock 1753

But downloading the image is much better than taking a screenshot.
Or multiple screenshots, which you will probably have to do if it's a will, or something like that.
