Searching the Beds & Luton Archives ( http://blars.adlibsoft.com ) Turned up photographer C A Solomons and a reference to one photo Ref Z1039/2/1 - Postcard photo of 2 Army Privates with a small boy, c.1916. Z1039 is "Gifts from Ken Page" - looking for details gives a list of photos, apparently only the one is by C A Solomons. The above site is well worth a look and is added to all the time. Othere Beds. material is archived on a2a - access to archives - eventually this will probably be transferred to the blars site. I will try to find out more about SOlomons Pamela ----- Original Message ----- From: "JOSEPHINE GREEN" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 4:57 PM Subject: [BDF] New to List > Hi Listers, > > I am new to the list.

Hello Jo Have you tried the Historical Directories website at http://www.historicaldirectories.org It includes a number of Bedfordshire directories into the early C20. Good hunting.

Hi, Josephine, I am in Bedford, but cannot find a record of a Solomons photographers, or one currently in business. Where in Bedford is the photograph of? Popular places for pictures included the Embankment by the river, also some monuments and churches. What was the name of the ancestor? Joan.

Hi Listers,   I am new to the list.  I am wondering if anyone would know or have information of a photographers in Bedford during the time of WW1.  I have a photograph of an ancestor which was taken in Bedford at what I think says Solomons - could be either G A Solomons or C A Solomons.   As I am trying to establish who the photograph is of, and why he would be in Bedford any information about the photographers would be helpful.   Many thanks in anticipation.

I just want to remind people that just like "Free Lunches", there's no such thing as a "Free" lookup. The people who do these lookups have either paid a subscription or purchased a book, CD or fiche that contains the information. In some case, people also incur travel or petrol costs to visit a library where the records are available. So next time you're asking for a lookup, please consider the costs incurred in providing the service and be as helpful as you can in providing accurate data about your enquiry. And to all those who do lookups for free, we really do appreciate the assistance you provide. Peter in Sydney

Hear, Hear! On my rather meagre pension, I subscribe to a couple of well-known genealogy sites. I'm afraid I no longer do look ups for people who don't or wont pay - if I can pay so should they. However I will always help someone who perhaps can't read a census return or who have looked and can't find.

     To add a comment on the IGI (International Genealogical Index) database at www.familysearch.org, once you find an entry of an individual you are searching for, look at the bottom of the page of the entry for the source of the record. Some say they are extracted (from the original parish records) and others submitted by members. The submitted ones are sometimes in error. For accuracy, I focus only on the extracted ones.  If you find your person in an extracted record in the IGI, it's often good to look at the entire batch for that parish to find more records for the same family or other relatives. You can do so by clicking on the batch number, which brings up a new search screen, and then you have a choice to do one of two things: 1. either enter only the surname and then click search, which will get you quickly to any entries in that batch with that spelling of the surname, which helps if it is a huge file. But the problem is that some of the records were hard to read when transcribed and either misspelled during transcription or else the original record was entered by various clerks with different spellings, which means if you search only by one spelling, you'll miss other related entries. 2. So the other option is to not enter anything further into the batch request page, but simply click search with only the batch number entered on the request page in order to bring up the entire batch of records for that parish and then slowly wade through the records alphabetically page by page for the entire batch of surnames until you reach the surname you are looking for, with all of the various possible spellings, so you won't miss anything.  The benefit of doing so will be that in the process you may also find other records for related family surnames that occurred in the same locality.      The IGI records I've found to be a wonderfully helpful source for my searches, which I can look at for free from the ease of my own home computer.      For those who have not yet tried searching at www.familysearch.org, a tip is not to use the main search page to begin your search, but go immediately to the top tool bar and first click on "Search Records", then on the next page go to the left tool bar and click on IGI, so that the search engine will limit its search to only IGI records. Then you can use that search page to fill out the name you are looking for and click "search". Make sure to not check the box for exact spelling, so the search engine will pick up other possible records with different spellings, and also try a few spelling ideas of your own too.     Good luck!     Sandy Sandra Lee Blakley 336 South 30th St. Philomath, OR 97370 541-929-2259 --- On Tue, 9/23/08, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [BDF] FREE LOOKUPS To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, September 23, 2008, 2:11 AM Well said Peter, about time some people were reminded of this fact.

Hi Peter - Excellent post - a good reminder. Also - Perhaps a suggestion that Thank You or just acknowledge assistance has been received . So many times this is neglected. Many people who volunteer -really want to help others - eventually -over the years - when their assistance is not acknowledged - some eventually stop trying .

Hi Gus, thanks for your interest, I have found usually when its an infant it states son or daughter of in the burials. But I take on board what your saying, it is all food for thought. I do know of another burial for a Robert which could well be the elder but again this needs looking into. No one said this hobby of ours was easy, perhaps that's why we find it so interesting!

Bedworth and Foleshill are in Warwickshire. Edwin was born in Camden, London, or so he said in 1881. Eliza was born in Warwickshire. Is there any Bedfordshire connection?

Hello Jacqueline, I don't have any BDF Registers, but I've been following the thread.... And I'm wondering just which of the Roberts you have the burial for. Presumably there's no indication in the record that gives you any clue as to his identity beyond a bald statement in the Marston Mortaine register that "Robert P... was buried on XX Xxx 1657". The initial presumption - in the absence of any other entries from the register - is that he was an adult male. Does the Register give father's names for 'infant' burials? If it doesn't, then he could've been of any age between 0 and 90+ :-( >From the baptisms you've received, it'd appear that there were at least 2 of them in the parish - and adult, too - around 1620, as "Robert the elder" was recorded as baptising another Robert. The missing "Robert the younger" is (probably) not the elder's son, unless the elder was awkward-enough to give two of his children the same name (perhaps possible if the 1620 one was by a second wife). But the absence of any 'elder' or 'younger' from the 1657 burial implies that by then there was only one in the parish - although *which* one remains an open question. Is there another burial before 1657? [Of course there's also the problem of the period of The Commonwealth (broadly 1648-1660) when the use of Church Registers was actively discouraged - ignoring the period of the Civil War from 1642, when many "just died" as a by-product - so it's anybody's guess just how many Roberts might've died in those roughly 18 years...] You're unlikely to be able to get even any semi-solid evidence of the identity of the one buried in 1657..... Sorry to sound Negative, but in all honesty you'll need to have a load of ???s on your Tree.

I have his burial record in 1657 in Marstone Mortaine, but I cannot find his baptism. I wondered if someone might be able to check for me if they have the baptism cd. Thank you for any help you might be able to give. Kind regards Jacqueline

Thank you for your information Kind regards Jacqueline ----- Original Message ----- From: "David" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2008 3:44 PM Subject: [BDF] Re : Parrill Unfortunately Marston Moretaine parish register/bishops transcripts only start at 1602. As Robert baptised a child in Marston in 1618 there's every chance that his baptism predates 1602, so there won't be a record.

Hi Carol, thank you so much for the information, I know you have helped me in the past. I would think that its my Robert, thank you. Could I ask if its not too cheeky if you have marriages as well, as I am also looking for his marriage.
