Bingo!!! Thank you again Janice & Lyn, it worked!! Really appreciate the help from you both. Best Regards. Skylark.

Hello Janice - I do have the old password but they now request that a password should contain numbers/ a capital letter etc etc. So the old password will not be accepted ( I think this was one of the reasons I chose to move to Ancestry). Skylark.

Me again - no luck with FMP - I tried to register but was "told" that my email address was already registered (of course it was due to me having a subscription many years ago) - any ideas as to how I can progress any further to access the free search?? Regards. Skylark.

Thank you Lyn, I will give that a go - the year of birth is out by 8 years but she was known to lie about her name.. so why not her age :) ?? I appreciate your help. Skylark.

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to do a search for JANE HALE on the 1921 census please?? She was born in West Bromwich but was living in B'ham - Her age should be 67 years 3 months...

oops! Could have been worse-I might have thanked M&S !! My sincere thanks to you BOTH for your help. Happy Christmas. Skylark.

Thanks for looking Janice. Lily was B'ham girl through & through, so not sure that she would have gone "orf" to London. Maybe I should be looking for a death for Lily Ashford...more midnight oil burning... Skylark.

Hello Janice: Parents were Ann Maria Ellen Ward/ Ashford/Swain and Wm Ashford. On the 1911 census, Annie Swain ( widow) 49: Lily Ashford, 14, Learner of Shroud Making: Both living in Greenway Street, Small Heath. Electoral Rolls 1920/25 show Annie still in Greenway Street, she died in 1927...

Ah! Thank you for naming her mother as Clara Chatwin - confirmation that this is not the Lily Ashford I am researching. Back to the drawing board ! Many Thanks for your help. Skylark.

Many thanks for this info - I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. I will double check all the info I have about Lily Annie - the name given for her Father is correct - but - he was a wire drawer not greengrocer !! Who said family research was easy ? (Not Me). Have a nice Christmas...

Seasonal Greetings: Does anyone have any access to St Matthias Church Marriage records? If so - I would be really grateful if they could look up a Sept Qtr1920 marriage between: Lily A Ashford and George Henry Howard. This info might be the answer to a long standing family mystery. Many Thanks...

Thank you once again, Elaine, for this extra info on the Church - I will certainly be looking on Wikipedia . Your help is appreciated. Skylark.

Thank You, Elaine, for posting this image of the Church - what an interesting building - was it still in use as a Church when it was demolished ? Someone on this brilliant site will know !!! Thank you again, I appreciate it very much. Skylark.

I do have the info from the National Roll , the only thing that is missing are his attestation papers ...hey ho... one day Lyn, I might be lucky. Many Thanks.

Hello Lyn, Yes the family were indeed living in Moseley Street. I do have a copy of his medal card. I also have info from the absent voters list. Regards, Margaret.

Thank you Janice, I know I was secretly hoping that I would find gold at the end of the rainbow with granddads medical history magically before me. I will just have to be happy that I have at least now got a small scrap of paper from WWl that has his name on it. Thank you all once again. Skylark.

Hello Lyn, the Farm St Samuel Hale, is not my relative sadly. I was hoping that finding a new number for my S. Hale might mean a glimmer of hope to finding his Army record. Thanks again.

Hi, I know that my GF Samuel Hale, was in the RWR during WWI (I also know that I cannot find his record because they may well be in the "burnt records"). I know he received medals. By chance (a lucky chance) I found a small mention of him on FMP being on a sick & injured list - not so lucky for...

By chance when looking online for info on the Pickering branch of my tree, I happened upon my Susannah Pickering & her will: Her address was given as The Queens Head, 251 Icknield Port Road. She died 28/08/1957 & her effects were left to her son William H H Pickering who was a Licenced...

Thank you Grea - I have now sent a PM to a fellow member. It had been so long since I had got in touch with anyone I had a complete memory block....thank you again..
