GRO Reference: 1858 S Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 110

From FreeBMD Births Mar 1860 - William John Pritchard Liverpool 8b 92 and this reference is confirmed on the original scan. This is the GRO Reference:- PRITCHARD, WILLIAM JOHN (NO MMN) GRO Reference: 1858 S Quarter in LIVERPOOL Volume 08B Page 95 Clearly, there is an error somewhere with referencing...

Daggers, A few snippets to add to the story. Captain John Sprott on the Airey Force 1873:- http://marinersandships.com.au/1873/09/020air.htm A basic search with Sprott :- http://marinersandships.com.au should yield 23 references to surnames and a ships name. One of many Australian newspaper articles...

Thanks for your help Mary. Gores 1772/1773 has John Jones in Frederick Street (no occupation stated), however, in 1774 the listing is Capt. John Jones 11 Frederick Street, so probably the same one as in Gores 1766. I’ll contact the Library about the list of Captains. ________________________________...

Can anyone on the forum help with this query? I’m trying to find out which one of the two John Jones was the husband of Catherine Jones. They were both mariners, one died in 1767 and the other in 1769. Catherine Loyd (spinster) m. John Jones (mariner) at St. Nicholas, Liverpool, on the 14th May, 176...

Manchester City Council Archives hold some records which may provide additional information on Ann Dawson. It may be worthwhile to contact them as many records would not be online. Here is the link to the Quarter Session Court Records :- http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/448/archives_and_local_histo...

I’m surprised there is only Manchester on the Indictment Record as the Registers normally give a prisoner’s last or usual place of residence, and for large cities you may get a street address, sometimes with a number. Ann Dawson was convicted of stealing on two other occasions before she was transpo...

What was her last known address from the Indictment Record?

Glen, There is no entry in the GRO Marine Deaths Indices nor the records of British Nationals who died overseas. It appears that no death certificate was issued (as no body was recovered). The only official record is in The National Archives BT 334 - Registry of Shipping and Seamen: Registers and In...

Stumbled upon this newspaper article from the Carlisle Journal, 6th February, 1802, just had to share. :) At woman died lately at Rheims, in Germany, at the age of 102, having had 19 husbands, and bred up 27 children; she was attended to the grave by 153 sons, grandsons, and great grandsons: many of...

The screenshot is for Funerals so I don't think it has anything to do with the Baptisms at Camp Poona. Perhaps the document was microfilmed out of sequence, but the only way to confirm would be to trawl through the microfilm. James Butler was in Poona in March, 1851, so it is likely he was stationed...

Can you decipher the name of the camp at the bottom of the page at all? All of my variations in Google have brought zero response. Thanks, John Camp Nusseerabad. It is near Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. Presidency of Bengal. Some background reading here:- http://www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armycampai...
