Hi Daggers
I think this Casgriff/Cosgriff name is one of the many variations of one of my family branches from Ireland, Cosgrave (Cosgrove even). I certainly have evidence that they are have been recorded at various times as Cosgriff.

Hi Tina
I had a look at the records I was checking out and both nos 30 and 31 are listed as residence at different times. It must be the hotel then.

thanks for your help Tina.

Hi all
would anybody with a directory for Liverpool circa 1916 please look up 30 Lord Nelson Street. I'd like to know who was listed there and if it was a house/hotel/hostel etc.

thanks

Tony

Thanks for posting Colette - very interesting. Simone I read your message and scrolled down without looking at the names. I stopped at James Lennon only because he loooks the spit of Steve's brother! I wonder if he is related to us. Certainly Dundalk fits in with Tom Lennon's story that they came fr...

Hi all
just to clarify - are these spelling mistakes for Little Wooltan and Much Wooltan? Surely it is Little Woolton (which is now Gateacre and stretched up to Netherley) and Much Woolton (which is Woolton Village itself).

Hi Carolyn I've found this site very useful for all things Halewood and I know Mike Royden is very good at answering questions about the area if its not on there:- http://www.roydenhistory.co.uk/halewood/index.html http://www.halevillageonline.co.uk/#/home/4516217834 I also remember from looking for...

Got to bed after 3am - well worth it with 12 different families all gathered and enough mysteries to keep me going for a while.

Now... if the Irish can make it free (and, so far, very accurate) why couldn't we?

Thanks John - and there I was just on my way to bed

Hi all
I just thought everyone would like to know that Ancestry have just posted WWII ARMY records for Deaths in a Roll of Honour and Prisoners of War. I've just picked off a handful of mine. Sad but at least I know what happened to them.

Hi all I've never come across this site before - apparently its a companion project to FreeBMD. I've been using it all yesterday and have found lots of extra stuff including names of witnesses, fathers and mothers of grooms and brides and there's lots before 1837 which is fantastic. I'd spent over 2...

Hi Tina
brilliant accidental news. It's either the world is becoming like a village or everything is converging on the Pool of Life. From Aus. and Mass. finding your husband's family on these pages is incredible.

Keep us posted.

Hi all I don't know if there is an easier way of doing this but when I viewed the page and where it reads (on the top of the page) Royal Navy > Vessels > District St Jean d Acre > Page 22 I clicked on vessels and a new Browse box came up. This lists all the Royal Navy vessels as Enumeration district...

Hi all Dickie Sam wrote I understand that a mariner/seaman etc had to be within the British Isles, ie resident on the night of the census, to be included in the census count My example may be the exception to the rule but I have my GX2 Grandfather in the Royal Navy on board ship in Cadiz harbour in ...

Hi all
sorry about the blunder with the dates. Thanks all for posting. I just needed to know if both parents were alive and father's occupation at the time and that's what you've given me - thanks Dickiesam.

much appreciated

Hi all I've reported a missing census page off Ancestry's 1901 census. They haven't yet replied so is there anybody who could do a look up for me anywhere else please? I don't know if the numbers translate on any other sites but they are:- RG12/piece 4217/folio 51/ page 25 The family I am looking fo...

Hi all

Mother Mary Barker

Hi Elsa -Mary I had a good look for you on a few sites without any success; sorry. I know others far more experienced than me have looked before. You've probably come across this site already which has lots of Lunts born, married and buried in St.Helens church. http://www.lunt-family.co.uk/online/pa...

Hi Elsa-Marie can I just check who we are looking for here. Am I correct in thinking you want to find the father of the Peter Lunt who was born in 1798 and who died in 1885? Is this the same Peter Lunt on the IGI who married Mary Clegg? (married 02/10/1820 - Sefton). This Peter has the same birth an...
