I know my great great grandfather John Price Litherland was in the Tyn y Coed convalescent home in Wales when the 1901 census was taken. Does anyone know if it would be possible to find out the nature and duration of his stay? Are archives of residents kept? Craig

I'm trying to find birth year for Rose Hannah Arter, born in Birmingham, so that I can order her birth certificate, but the sources I have point to different birth years. 1901 census records her as 16, so birth year around 1884/5 She married my great grandfather Henry Deeley in 1954, aged 70...

Here's a picture of my dad's cousin Ellen (Nellie) Parry (Née Handley) at her second marriage, to Arthur Peckover in 1949. It would be great to hear from anyone who recognises anybody in the pitcure.

I ordered a wrong birth certificate, so if anyone's interested they can have this one. It's Emily Heath, born December 1874, registered Jan 1875, in Birmingham. Born in Lower Camden Street, father Arthur Heath, Mother Elizabeth Heath, formerly Apps. PM me if you want it. No charge obviously. Craig

Does anyone know if it is possible (or has anyone been able) to find out exactly when someone stayed there, for how long, and why? I know my great great grandfather was there in 1901 when the census was taken, but I'd love to find out more. Craig

Yes, I was so pleased to have received that other photo in relatively good condition. Now I know I'm linked directly to them I think I'll frame it!

I think I have solved the riddle of the Llanelli rugby team which I posted a while ago; I was trying to find out if my great grandfather was one of a team of 7 brothers who made up a team from Llanelli in 1907 who played against another team of 7 Williams brothers from Carmarthen. My second...

the first husband of my step-great-grandmother was Joseph Hill, a baker and confectioner with a shop on Hockley Hill. He died very young in 1922, but I don't know anything about it, do any of you kind folk know anything about him or could you point me in the direction of somewhere where I could...

Many thanks, that's great

I'm trying to locate a baker / confectioner called Joseph Hill. Any info gratefully received. Craig

I see, thanks for the advice

I'm trying to find out where my great grandfather served during WW1. He was Joseph Rosenberg. He did survive. The info I have so far is: WW1 Medal card . Reg.No. 62304 Welsh Regiment Pte Joseph Rosenberg Awarded British medal (Roll J/1/104A Page 69). He was listed as living at 26 All Saints Rd...

Thank you, that's great!

Suppose just like a shared house, or bedsits. That would make sense. Thanks

Yes, that's him - he lived in Devonshire St. Thanks. Is there a link to that?

Thanks for all the feedback so far. I only found out today that he served in the Great War. Can anyone let me know how I go about finding out where he served? Thanks Craig

Thanks for replies so far. What about the age thing? Would 40 have been too old? I've found out that MFP stands for Military Foot police - useful site here: https://www.1914-1918.net/abbrev.htm

Where someone is listed at an address and it says 'dwelling house', is this a particular category of residence? Temporary accommodation? What's the significance? Thanks Craig

My great grandfather Albert Allcott is listed in 1918 on the electoral register as an absent voter with the following army rank: P/14479, A/L.-Cpl., M.F.P. Could somebody decipher it for me please? Also, in 1918, he would have been 40. Would that not have been too old to serve? I've defintiely...

It must be the ones from Darwin St -his wife's maiden name was Heath and their daughter was Emily, born 1899 (although she was known as Dolly). It's such a pain when the surname changes like that. No one in our family knows why, but it was happening right up to the late 1930s! There's even an...
