Hi Joy, Many thanks for your interest in my posting. My brick wall is starting to take on the proportions of the Berlin Wall at the moment although mine is not coming down but rather going up and up. I thought I may have found the birth registration for my Great Grandfather (he is my big stumbling block at the moment), but when I sent to the GRO they informed me that the regn no I had submitted had different parent names. I believe that I have traced gr,grandfather Henry SIMPSON back to his parents but am now unable to find his birth registration fitting census data nor can I find his marriage regn to Rachel MORRIS. I had thought I would like to visit the UK and stroll down some of the streets my various ancestors strolled and research while I was there but now I am not so sure about the research. Mer thinks it would be cheaper to hire a researcher. Anyway, now that I do not officially exist because my gr,grandfather does not appear to have been born, I may just have to discontinue my emails to this list and that is a shame as everyone is so helpful! Ha, ha, ha!, about the discontinuing part that is!

I suggest that anyone researching Whitehouse contact Keith Percy at the Whitehouse Family History Center. He runs the one-namer for Whitehouse. Just type Whitehouse Family History Centre into Google. The poor guy is usually snowed under so it may be some time before he can help. There is a lot of information such as Census's on the website. Pat Molloy

Hello! I am currently researching Whitehouses for a friend. Leonard Whitehouse born Birmingham 1894, married Ellen Pryce nee Green Leonard's parents were Robert William Whitehouse born Manchester 1864, wife Mary Elizabeth Robert William's parents were James Whitehouse born Tipton 1827 and Jane James's parents were Edward Whitehouse born Tittensor [?] Staffs, and Elizabeth (Fisher?) Edward's parents are said to have been Jeremiah and Sarah Whitehouse but I have yet to follow this uop myself.. All this from Census returns and yet to be verified but would be interested to hear from anyone who has a connection, however distant, with this particular branch of the Whitehouse clan.

Hello Kerry I read your post while browsing through the archives. To be honest I was a little shocked that you would come all the way here to do research. It seems a very desperate (and I mean that in a nice way) trip to consider. The reason being I did it myself, but the reverse trip. I had a few additional reasons for my trip but did research while I was there. I went armed with all my dates, names photos you name it. I found it a very worthwhile experience. The downside was - not enough time! Trying to research using unfamiliar records is very time consuming. If you do decide to visit I would plan, plan & plan & get as much done before as possible. Linda's advice was good, post your brick walls. In the meantime I have a few ideas for you. Have you considered ordering the records you require through your local LDS church? You could ask the list for lookups, some researchers have their own church records etc they could forward you the original in some cases. I have known some very kind soles do look ups at the record office, get photocopies, scan them & send them along. I can confirm Sammi Hoy is on facebook. Kerry if you do decide to visit the uk I wish you a fruitful visit & hope the weather is good for you. Bring your brolly, you will need it during any month LOL. The Black Country folk are very helpful, friendly people with lovely towns & villages. A fabulous day out is the black country museum. I guarantee you will love it! Happy New Year to you all Joy Hi All, Living in Australia and having come across a few brick walls with my research, I am wondering if it is worth my while coming to England and visiting the various Archives. If I did decide to do this I would obviously want to see all the other places of interest but research would be my main purpose. I know that this is probably a more expensive way of doing things but it would be nice to see the actual records and I am sure I would be benefit in many other ways from this visit.

Hi Paul My brother asked about records of prisoners in general at Stafford Record Office and this is the reply he got: We hold HM Prison, Stafford admission registers from 1878 onwards (ref: D5112). The draw-back to searching the prison registers is that they contain thousands of names which are not indexed, so a search would be time-consuming. We usually aim to locate a conviction first instead. We hold Calendars of Prisoners for the county Quarter Sessions, which were held four times a year and were responsible for most custodial convictions. The Calendars of Prisoners give the name, age, read or write, charge, verdict, sentence. If the case can be located in the Calendars, there may be further supporting information contained in the Quarter Sessions order books and bundles. We have an index to the Calendars of Prisoners available online. There is a link to name indexes on our website (see link below). However, if the case was heard at the Assizes (the higher court) or Petty Sessions (the lower court) then we may not have records but we may be able to refer you elsewhere.

Thought I'd post in plenty of time for the New Years round of fairs by telling you about the first couple of months worth of confirmed events. I'll be posting reminders nearer to the event. Jan 25th Bracknell Feb 8th Crawley Feb 22nd Bath Then the one a lot of you will be interested in Feb 29th WOLVERHAMPTON Details of any of these fairs and a whole lot more F.H. events are available at, http://users.ox.ac.uk/~malcolm/genuki/geneva/ I have lots of half price tickets that will get you in for half price at all of the fairs advertised on this site, http://members.aol.com/aquarterma/familyhistoryfairs.html £instead of the usual £2, if you want any send me an S.A.E with a note telling me how many you want, there's no restriction so if any society members want them for their mates just let me know, don't forget to cover the cost of the return postage though. Our address is: Genealogy Printers Genealogy House 15 Linley Drive Bushbury Wolverhampton WV10 8JJ Kind regards Ron O'Neill www.genealogyprinters.com

Hello John, If you take a look at Dudley Archives & Local History web site at www.dudley.gov.uk/archives on the left hand side click on Researching Your Family History, scroll down to the bottom and you can download the Parish Register Handlists. Also on that page in the body of the text, you will see Cremations and Cemeteries. Click on the link and you can search the Public Cremations and Cemeteries. You can also download Parish Register Handlists on Sandwell Archive's web site. Hope this helps.
