Hi all Having downloaded a service record for a relative who was an officer in the RFC, I unexpectedly found that prior to RFC he was an undergraduate at Durham University from Feb to May 1917. Is there any way of finding out what he had been studying in that short time? Thanks. (He was James Tulloch/Tullock - spelling varies on several official documents. He was born 1899 Durham)

Hello I wonder if someone can help, I have 3 different, unknown, photographs of men in army uniforms and wonder if anyone knows of a site that can help me date them in order to know which part of the family I'm looking for, please.

Thanks Stan - a closer look reveals it as FS - female servant. A tick after the FS confused me. One of the persons is Isabella Piles b. abt 1811 in Sedgefield. But I do have lots of relatives on adjacent pages, and also George Barron on the next page (7) listed as Tailor. Odd how we keep getting these mental blocks and the concentration isn't what it used to be! Many thanks, also to Ruth. Lancelot

I notice on one page of Sedgefield 1841 that it has FS followed by a tick which could be mistaken for a V Stan Mapstone On 5 September 2010 16:20, Lancelot Barron37 <Barron37@talktalk.net> wrote: > Have I been asleep, is it old age, is my memory going? > > I've several family listed in the 1841 census for Sedgefield with > profession listed as FSV. > > Any ideas? > > Lancelot > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > To Post a message to this list send it to, > DUR-NBL-L@rootsweb.com > > ==== DUR-NBL Mailing List ==== > List Web Page > http://www.communigate.co.uk/ne/durhamgenealogy/index.phtml > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > DUR-NBL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

According to entries in the International Genealogical Index - British Isles it is mainly a Suffolk name, although Vinnick is a variation of Fenwick which is a northern English habitation name.

This Joseph Greener b 1810 Low Felling was the uncle to William Wellington Greener, gunsmith and inventor. Actually the Greener gun smith business is still operating I believe. Four of this Joseph Greeners uncles, 2 cousins, and grandfather died in the Felling mining disaster of 1812. Many in this family did not go into mining after this. Janis
