Hi All Could someone help with the following please. On IGI I have a marry; William CHALK to Mary Jane BROWN - 25/02/1837 Sherfield English but no other detail. Does anyone have access to the Sherfield PArish records who could check to see if any ages, parents are given please. Thank you Nigel

I have just discovered that it is likely that my 4xGreat Grandfather was Richard North of Stratfield Saye. According to the IGI he married Judith ABEL in May 1769. Does anyone have these people in their tree? With best wishes Angela (Melbourne, Australia)

Many thanks to everyone who has sent me an answer - it seems so simple. My apologies to the Administrators if I clogged the lists - I should have known that on any list ( relevant or not) there would have been heaps of people who could help - no need to conference call the whole of UK Family History Cyberspace!! Best wishes to you all Beryl in Tassie

Hello folks! I'm sending this out to a few Lists in the hope that someone can give me a pointer, so please reply off-topic if you think it isn't going to be relevant for anyone else on the list I have a Death Certificate for a 'relly' who died in London in 1921. His occupation is given as ' Bootmaker ex Saddler 28473 R.F.A.' Does anyone have a clue about what the letters refer to? Given the preceding numerals it sounds like either an Army number with the initials of the regiment or perhaps a Trade Guild membership. I haven't had much luck with Google - but then I don't relly know where to start looking. The lists are such wonderful sources for material, that I thought someone was bound to know something In hope and thanks, Beryl in Tassie - hot and humid

He was a saddler in the Royal Field Artillery and the figures probably relates to his army number.

Beryl, try Royal Field Artillery. They used horses to draw guns at least until 1918 as far as I know. It would have been logical for him to become a bootmaker as mechanisation came in. See http://www.1914-1918.net/rfa_units.htm for starters. Best wishes.

I've 'interrogated' the Hampshire OPC at Knightroots on many occasions and keep coming up with blanks :-( That's why I decided to ask on this list as people seem to magic up the most amazing information from seemingly nowhere!

And still going http://www.rsr.org.uk/ For interest: AGNES WESTON AND THE ROYAL SAILOR'S RESTS Agnes Weston was born on 28th March 1840 as the daughter of a barrister. In 1845, her father retired and the family moved to Bath. She was educated at private schools, including preparation for confirmation from a priest whose leaning was towards Christian evangelism and whose teaching left a strong influence on the young Agnes. After leaving school, she began philanthropic work that suited a young lady of her station and also began to speak at temperance meetings. She also learnt to write tracts for the promotion of the temperance movement. She opened a coffee bar for the soldiers of the 2nd Somerset Militia brigade. When they were posted away, she kept in touch with some of the soldiers by writing to them. In 1868, one of her letters was shown to a troopship steward who remarked that it would be nice to receive such a letter. Agnes was told about the steward and she also began writing to him and others. This started off her career in sailor welfare. In 1873, sailors who corresponded with Agnes were paid off and she went to visit them at Devonport, Plymouth. She met Sophia Wintz and they became good friends and later fundraising partners. Agnes joined the Royal Naval Temperance Society and was allowed to visit sailors on warships and talk to the crew to promote temperance. Later it was suggested that she open a temperance house near to the dockyard gates. After discussing it with Sophia, they decided to undertake the project. Through meetings all round the country, they were able to raise enough funds to buy a house outside the dockyard at Devonport and open it up as a hostel for sailors. It was opened in May 1876 as the first "Sailor's Rest". It was immediately successful since it offered place to eat and drink as well as beds for the night if required. Although intended as a temperance house for the promotion of the movement, it was not confined to those of similar views and all sailors were welcome to make use of the facilities. Lectures were arranged as well as religious services and there was the chance to sign the "pledge" to refrain from drinking alcohol. The success of the Devonport Sailor's Rest led to a similar project being opened in Portsmouth in 1881, to provide baths, lodgings and recreational activities and facilities. Agnes and Sophia felt that these facilities would help to combat alcoholism in the sailors and keep them from causing mischief on the streets. They also opened Rests at Portland and Sheerness, but found the prospect of organising four establishments too much. The Rests were intended to be self funding once they had been set up through public subscription. Soon they were able to house 900 men at Devonport and 700 at Portsmouth. To add to the satisfaction gained from the success of the Rests, several pubs had been closed and demolished due to lack of custom. Agnes became known as "Mother" Weston as she was constantly concerned and interested in her sailor's welfare, while being forthright on her views on their drinking habits. She was also known by the name "Aggie". The work of Agnes and Sophia was becoming more publicly known and in 1895, Queen Victoria endowed a cabin to be used as a Sailor's Rest in Devonport and allowed the use of Royal Sailor's Rest to be given to the whole institution. Agnes did not neglect the sailor's at sea. Where she had previously written letters to individual sailors away from home, she now printed a monthly letter to sailors for distribution among the ship. This rose to a circulation of 60,000 by 1918. She also published a journal Ashore and Afloat to encourage Christian beliefs, behaviour and temperance amongst sailors. Agnes was created a Dame of the British Empire in 1918. However, she died shortly after receiving this award on 23 October 1918 at Devonport. She was buried with full naval honours. In 1940, a frigate was named after Weston-Super-Mare and this became known in the fleet as "Aggie-on-Horseback". Her Sailor's Rests continued to operate up until the turn of the twenty-first century, when a fall in custom has led them to be closed. http://www.royalnavalmuseum.org/info_sheets_agnus_weston.htm Chris SOUTHERN LIFE(UK) History of the villages of Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight http://southernlife.org.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Vine" <bovine@upnaway.com> To: <eng-hampshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 3:15 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] 172-174 Commercial Road, Portsmouth > Hi Sandra > It was originally known as the Portsmouth Sailors Rest, opened on 13 June > 1881, > this was one of the hostels opened by Agnes Weston to keep sailors out of > the public houses etc. > They had reading rooms and a restaurant, accommodation came at a later > date > I would say. > Your Gfather could have just had a room for the night of the census. > The Royal part would have come later as well. > HTH > Brian > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sandra J Smith" <sandra.s@ntlworld.com> > To: <eng-hampshire@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 1:46 AM > Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] 172-174 Commercial Road, Portsmouth > > >> Thank you Brian.
