Recently I've been told that my 4x great granddad was Samuel Gunning born 1765 in Co Down.I can't find his wife or any information about him. His son,James,was my 3x great grandfather born 1785,he was a farmer so,maybe his father was too .I've never found any siblings of James,is there any way...

I have had a subscription with Ancestry for years and the other day,researching someone I was directed to another site which turned out to be FMP for a record I was looking for.There didn't seem to be a way of adding info to my tree on Ancestry.

Is there anyone who can help me research Spanish relatives from Albacete?

Thank you both for going to the trouble of looking up Easter's death.As you both say the age is wrong,if she died in 1880 aged 18 she would have been born in 1862 and Anna was born abt 1856. I will try PRONI again to see if they have anything.I've thought that maybe she wasn't Thomas' and he...

I have found most of my ancestors in Newtownards but there is one that I can't find anything about,please can someone help. Easter(Esther) McCafferty was born in 1874 to Anna McCaffertty.The year before Anna had a son,William James and in 1876 she had another daughter,Mary.In 1877 she married...

Thank your help. I will see what Proni have,they have been helpful in the past.If they can't help then i will come back to you as I know you are a genealogist. I have found a lot of my Co Down ancestors but there are a few that escape me. Thanks again Susan

Oops,I made a mistake with Timothy's birth,it was 1889,the same for Hannah. The rest of the info is correct. I looked on the 1841 census but I couldn't find Edmund or his brother John,Help there would be good.Thanks.

Yes, Edmund's parents were Timothy Wear 1779-1840 and Hannah Boothe 1780-1839.When Hannah died Timothy remarried in Rotherham,and died there.I did know where he was buried but I can't remember. Edmund would have been about 8 when his mother died an 9 when his father died.1840 is a year before...

Edmond Died on the 30th July 1876 while living in Beaumont Street, Huddersfield ,his son was present at the death.Tom would have been 18 it gives him as living in Mirfield. On the certificate,where it says description And recidence of informer,that's where it puts Mirfield.Is it possible that...

I hope someone can help me with this.My great x2 grandad died in Huddersfield in 1876 at the age of 43.He was Edmund Wear. I have been searching for years to find where he was buried without any success. When he died he was living in Beaumont Street,so far he's not at any of the cemeteries...

Recently I received a copy of my great x2 grandparent's marriage in Newtownards.They were Robert McCafferty and Esther Hollinger married in 1845.I always thought that Robert's father was also Robert but on the certificate it has James. Some time ago I received marriage and baptism records from...

Many thanks to all who have tried to find my grandad.I have the newspaper site,as you say it cuts off at 1955.I e-mailed an undertaker who was in business back then but I'm not holding my breath. The hospital no longer exists.Where did you find the death notice? I have the probate.Was the...

Yes,I thought of Guildford,so I looked on their site but there's no access to the book of remembrance.I've thought of Woking and Aldershot.There is a book of remembrance for one of them but he's not there.It's possible that my gran didn't put anything in the book she was a character but I think...

Not sure if I've asked this before.I'm trying to find where my grandad was cremated.He was Herbert Henry Bunch,he died in Farnham,Surrey on the 10th September 1956. I looked at Aldershot and Woking but can't find him.Any ideas please

I found Thomas Downie and his son David.Thomas was born in 1846 in Coylton Ayrshire.His wife was Rachel Horn from Bothwell.David was born 1888 in Glasgow.It looks as though they were well to do as they lived in Lyredoch St in Kelvin which is a posh part of Glasgow also they had a servant...

Hi, many thanks for all the info Ellie,I'm guessing this is not your family? As to a David Downie,his father could have been the Thomas that was Mary's brother I can check and see. I found someone connected to the name Mushet but no-one connected to Downie.

I have Mary b 1807 her parents Thomas and Margaret Mushett.They are the main ones

A while back I asked for help in trying to find the burial place of my ancestor Edmund Wear who died in Huddersfield in 1876 but no-one was able to help. I have another ancestor whose burial place I can't find.He is Henry Joseph Masters,he died in Hackney in 1886.I have tried so many places...

Does anyone have either the name Downie or Mushett in their family tree.Mine were from Glasgow

I know where Edmund Wear died as I have his death certificate but I can't find where he was buried.He died in Huddersfield in August 1876,aged 44.I know all the places he isn't buried,all the main cemeteries in the area.It's been suggested I look in non-comformist records but I don't know how I...
