Hi Everyone, I'm rejoining after many years absence and wondered if anyone has access to the transcriptions for Southampton Cemeteries. Probably the Old Cemetery as the folks I'm looking for died from 1873 to 1920. They are:- COTTLE John Morford died 8 Jan 1873 and his wife Sarah Ann COTTLE died 13 Jan 1878 DAW John died 21 Nov 1915 and wife Georgina DAW died ca 1920 CARTER Cpt Rodney Blyth died 5 Aug 1878 MANTON George died ? and wife Blanche Lucretia MANTON died ca 1845 SCRASE Henry died 18 Sept 1888 and wife Elizabeth SCRASE died 11 Sept 1883 I would be grateful for any help Thank you, Jenny in N.Z.
Hi list, First apologies if you receive this email several times. I am posting it to several lists as I am sure people will find it useful. I am sure I have never seen this publicised on any list and as the National Archives are doing this as a pilot to see whether it will prove useful, use it or lose it! For those who have visited Kew, you will have seen the hundreds of filing cabinets in the main open search room. These are being put on line and downloadable into PDF files for FREE. At the moment there are about 190 films available, but as many of them are Admiralty and War Office, anyone with Royal Navy and Coastguards connections should definitely check them out. (I have already found some useful stuff). Some of the films are indexes and/or finding aids to other records, however I have spotted some which include full service records of the people concerned. A word of warning though - the files are extremely large and can take quite a time to download even with a broadband connection. You can save and keep the file for 56 days. How to find them: Go to the National Archives at: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk Click on Documents Online Click on Advanced Search in the Quick Search Box Unclick all the categories except Digital Microfilm In Media types, unclick everything except Text Click on Search On the next page click on Digital Microfilm You will then be presented with a list of everything available. Once you have identified the piece you want to view, click on See Details and then proceed as if you were going to purchase an image via the checkout. You end up with an invoice detail of £0.00 and inctructions to Download Now. Hope this proves useful to someone.
