    IRISH RECORDS ONLINE

    Not sure if it's been mentioned before but the 1926 Irish census is now available. Unfortunately this does not include Northern Island as it appears those records were destroyed... https://www.nisra.gov.uk/statistics/2011-and-earlier-censuses/1926-census Disappointing as I was hoping that...

    Beasley Blythe Street

    I would have said the first photo shows the correct side the street and no. 59 was the first house that appears to have a single window top and bottom. I've put an arrow pointing to it on your map...

    Birmingham 1838 - 1938

    With a high infant mortality rate lowering the life expectancy figure it tends to give the impression that there were very few old people in days gone by. Which wasn't the case and taking out that large percentage of infant mortality shows that if you did get pass those risky early years you...

    Birmingham 1838 - 1938

    Assuming that average of the children who didn't reach the age of 5 was 2.5 then the life expectancy of everyone else was a touch over 60.

    Jogesh Chandra Bose

    You would think that the place he studied in Baltimore would have records. What they would contain and when (if ever) they might be released to the public I don't know.

    Jogesh Chandra Bose

    A few other things. Amaresh Chandra Bose's birthplace is listed as Darbhanga, Bihar. Don't know if that makes it unlikely that he is related to Jogesh. Jogendra Chandra Bose's birthplace is listed as Calcutta, Bengal. Could be a simple generalisation for something obscure. There is Sir...

    Jogesh Chandra Bose

    There appears to be a US WWI draft record for him, dob matches the one given at his death. Birthplace is listed as Maruchgongus. He is listed as student in Baltimore and as a Hindu.

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    No, he appears to be the son of a Thomas Robinson and an Elizabeth A Hails. The reg. of his mmn as Hailes is the only instance for their family around that time. They are in Consett in 1939 with I assume Elizabeth's father.

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    As Jean marries in 1946 and they are in Lanchester in 1939 it would seem to be the range for when they moved to Bham. I think they are on the 1945 at 58 Tennyson Road and remain there. It also appears the name of the 5th and youngest child is Edna as she is listed there with her husband...

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    Maureen was reg. with mmn Hailes as well, Dec qtr 1929, hence my query with her and Russell. Not sure about the fifth child. Four definites are Frederick Bird, Jean Featherstonhaugh, Maureen and Mary.

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    I suspect that Russell isn't theirs and Maureen is. She appears to marry a Harold C Joines reg. Mar 1948 Bham. Her death was reg. Jun 2020 Bham.

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    Seems to be the right family. There is a marriage for an Edward Robinson to a Mary A Hailes reg. Sep 1925 Durham. Five children, all registered Lanchester - Frederick B, Jean F, Russell, Maureen and Mary though Russell and Maureen are reg. in consecutive quarters of 1929 so something not quite...

    Edward (Ned) Robinson 1901 born in Lanchester Durham

    I think they are still (or back) in Lanchester in 1939. There is a death for an Edward Robinson Mar 1977 Bham, dob 8 Jan 1901. Searching the 1939 register for such brings up an Edward Robinson living at Deneside, Lanchester. Also there are a Mary A Robinson (wife) and a Mary Robinson b1931...

    SIDEBOTHAM, THOMAS. D.1847 in New Zealand

    Thomas and Alice's mother was Phoebe Rawlinson and after James Sidebotham's death (1844) she married a Joseph Roebuck and in 1851 is living with daughter (Mary) and son in law (Thomas Rhodes). Also there is another daughter (Martha). There are various findagrave pages available but I assume...
