I am also interested in viewing patients records for Western Road Workhouse Infirmary circa 1903 - which Birmingham Archives do hold. However on searching the the Archives Catalogue most of the records are closed and not available to view by the general public due to their delicate/fragile...

Thank you Janice, I will contact Sutton New Hall. I just wondered if any members had come across that before. William.

I have received a burial record for a burial that took place in 1903 at Witton Cemetery. There are 3 columns in the register - "Special", "Consecrated" and "Unconsecrated". Would anyone know what the "Special" column refers to. William.

The majority of vets working in the veterinary profession do not own the clinic they work in, but are merely employed to work there, so do not see this as a money making business. I am sure you will find that it is the business corporates who own the majority of the clinics nowadays, that see...

I am sure you find (as I do) that that is utterly ridiculous - as you are next of kin - now that both of your parents have sadly passed on, which I presume you told them. William.

To be fair I do not think you can blame Ancestry for some of the errors on trees on their site. A "hint" is just a hint and not a "fact" - and the onus therefore surely has to be down to members who accept "hints" without verifying such information. William.

Shaun I wonder if "SANDS" may be able to offer information or insight into what may have happened with regards your sisters burial. Sands Helpline t: 0808 164 3332 e: [email protected] William.

I have an e mail from www.warwickfusiliers.co.uk - David Baynham - Museum Assistant which states during the time period my ancestor served in the RWR the 1st Battalion was based at home and confirmed the 2nd Battalion served in India until 1891 then moved to Ceylon. William.

One of my ancestors joined the Royal Warwickshire regiment between 1883 - 1895. According to his army records he was posted to India in 1884 and served there until 1891. William.

I do not have a map but have attached screenshot which shows the area you are looking for is the catacombs. William.

Thank you Janice. Your help (and the help from other members) is very much appreciated. William.

I ordered 2 online digital certificates last week - the first day this facility became available. Both certificates were available to view just seconds after I had made payment. Unfortunately there was a problem with the second certificate in that only the bottom right hand corner of the...

There is a FB group called BMD Certificate Exchange. William.

Thank you Janice. William.

Janice that is very interesting. Can I ask where you found that newspaper article. William.

Vivienne, Fay was previously a member of this forum (but no longer a member - not her decision - long story ) so unfortunately not able to ask here about her fathers army records. As I am family I have been trying to assist her. William.

I would just like to thank all those members that have shown an interest in my post. Those who have commented, those that have helped and given me valuable information and an insight into his time spent in the Army, and also those that have read my post and the replies. Thank you all for...

Vivienne, I do believe the CMF was the Central Mediterranean Force, However I have no information about the "Leave/Rest" camp in Glifadha or why he would be there. His army records do not give any further information or shed any light on that. William.

Thank you Janice that was very kind of you. Their answer does make sense. William.

Richard if you look back at post 8 - whereby i have attached a page from his army records, where the abbreviation "RPMHR" is shown 4 times then i do wonder if it is connected to his rank. He was a "private" during the time he served, but from Oct 45 - Nov 45 - where those abbreviations are...
