Thanks to everyone who responded to my original message about the Lincs to the Past website and also the problem of accessing images from the Lincolnshire Collection on FMP. I feel that the change to the new search engine has been very badly managed by FMP. They should have had the ability to browse this collection already sorted out before forcing their subscribers to use the new search. I sincerely hope that it will be only days before this facility is restored rather than weeks. Geoff Giles Leicester, UK

Can anyone advise me on how I can get information about George HANSON’s career as a Queen’s Messenger? I’ve not been able to find him in the 1841 Census (there are some possibilities but not enough information to be sure) and I’m wondering if he had joined the military by this time. In 1851 he was living in Westminster and was the butler for Fox Maule, then the Privy Councillor’s secretary. Also in the household was Jane Wallace, Lady’s maid who George married at St. Luke’s, Chelsea in 1853. George’s occupation in the marriage entry was ‘Messenger’ and in the 1861 Census at Chelsea, his occupation was Queen’s Messenger, War Office. His probate record in 1869 also gives his occupation as Queen’s Messenger The information I’ve found so far on Queen’s Messengers is that they often had a military background before being appointed. There is a family story that my father who was 6 feet 4 inches tall, inherited his height from his Hanson ‘uncles’, some of whom were reputed to be in the Queen’s Guards, where being tall was apparently a requisite (not sure if this is true or not). My grandmother Edith Emily HANSON, born 1889 at Apethorpe, Northants, but who grew up in Lincolnshire, only had one brother who was never in the military. I’ve not been able to find any evidence so far that any of Edith’s ‘Hanson’ uncles were in the military - Thomas 1861, Charles 1864, and John 1866 were all born at Ashby-de-la-Launde, Lincs. Thomas was a farm servant 1881 – 1901 in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire but I’ve been unable to find him in the 1911 census. Charles went to Yorkshire, initially working as a farm servant, but later becoming a coal miner in the Kilnhurst/Swinton area. John became a flour miller and was in Rotheram, Yorks in 1901, but was back in Lincoln in 1911. I’ve not been able to account for an older brother James born 1850 in Dorrington after the 1861 census. It’s possible that my grandmother was referring to her great uncles who were all born in Dorrington – Thomas HANSON 1790 – 1839, and Ann HOLMES cir 1800 – 1848 had 8 sons, one of whom was the above George born 1821. I am descended from Edward (1824 – 1886). Thanks Janice Morris Wanganui, New Zealand

I always knew resources in Lincolnshire are great - even if I forget to try things sometimes - but after looking for my newly found gt grandfather’s family in Yorkshire and Notts I can reaffirm that we are blessed in Lincolnshire. Regards Jan Sent from Windows Mail

Hi Geoff, The Lincolnshire Collection is on now on FMP by clicking on the menu bar "Search Records" > "Search all records". A link to the Lincolnshire Collection is under "Special Collections" on the right hand side of the page. As Nivard says they are currently working on a browse function hopefully when they have finished what they are doing it will be a little easier to find records than it was.

Geoff, Every so often LTTP seems to have a meltdown when either you stop getting thumbnail links to the PRs or you get just a straight 'no results'. In the last four days I've had results but no thumbnails; results with thumbnails; and 'no results'. It's frustrating to say the least. I keep meaning to write and ask LTTP why this happens. For instance, do they carry out site maintenance on certain dates in the month/certain times, and if so why can't they tell us on the site? Re the PRs on FMP: Someone on the FMP feedback page has written "I used to be able to browse the Lincolnshire parish records page by page which was extremely useful. Now I cannot even find them in your list of records available. Please tell me how to find them." Paul Dunlop, Product Manager has replied: "We are currently working on this feature, and will be re-launching our Lincolnshire browseable records within the next few weeks."

Hi, Missing Lincs,     'Tis April Foist!  All Souls Day in most countries.  Aprils Fool's Day in those with too many politicians.  For most of us, it's a day to have our morning tea and bask in the sunshine.  I had a good Spring shower while enjoying my cuppa.  Time to take a walk around the "estate" and make notes of all the projects: 1.  Fix the garage door so it doesn't fall on Stephanie's car 2.  Muck out the stalls in the barn 3.  Put in the Spring bulbs 4.  Gaze longingly at the seed packets in the gardening shop. 5.  Turn over the calendar page(s) to the correct month.     Well, you know the rest.  Is it time to clean the computer?   Is it time to backup those important files?  Hey, Fiona, how's that pile of combustible paper coming along?  Now, you set down in NZ, I know it's slightly different because you've got to get feed in for the animals before it snows and stock up on food for yourself for when you can't get to market because of the rains or snow.     But here's your task for family history this month.  Find a family in your tree that needs a little more "fleshing out".  Make notes on what you need, then share it with someone down at the Archives, or in the Family History Centre.  Get a second opinion on where to look.  Or, gosh, share it with us!  We'll not only tell you where to look, we might even find some of it for you.     Yes, any family, but try to keep it to Lincolnshire.  Now, if you have to post it to a list for Alberta or Derbyshire or Oxfordshire, I'm OK with that.  I won't mind.  I'll even give you a kiss on the cheek for making another list  help you.  Hmmm, Oxfordshire.  That reminds me....     Oh, and kiss your sweetie before you rush off to the library.  Spread a little love.  Just don't be the fool!         Lou (list admin.)

Can anyone with access to the Parish Register of Washingborough help please? My 10 x Gt Grandfather married at Washingborough, Lincs on 5th July 1590. I have found the entry in the PR which I think reads "Xpoferus Varget et Elisabetha (T)yler eat nupt 5 July" BUT I am not sure of the brides surname as my copy of the PRs is not easy to read and, as usual, the worst part is that name. So I am asking for help from someone able to gat at a better copy. Or with better eyes than mine. Thanks ----- No virus found in this message.

This is remarkable... I never would have guessed at GODSAFFE either. You are so good! I just went back to the image page 2 and the entry is the fourth. Sorry about that. I do see PORTAS for sure on that line. I'm coming to Lincs this summer and hope to spend a little time at the Archives. I have another surname which is of my 7th great grandmother that I really need some help with. There are no BTs for that period in Wold Newton unfortunately. I found the marriage in the year 1678/79 between William PORTAS and Syllina ??? Rex took a peek at it and said a UV light might help read it. Can anyone use a UV light at the Archives? I wrote about it on my blog page <http://familyhistorywithalookingglass.blogspot.com/2013/11/church-record-sunday-syllina-whats-her.html> I hope I see you at the Archives. We met once before many years ago and you advised me a little on my researching. Thanks so much for all your help.

Hi all, I have been on Lincs to the past website image 2 of Fulstow General Register 1586-1733 <http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=547813&iid=502697> I'm looking for the marriage of Henry PORTAS - I can't make out what the (about) 5th entry is for that page. Part of the page is folded over, so it is a little iffy as to what that entry is. Hopefully it is his first marriage. I can't see who his wife is either. Further down on that page is a baptism of who I believe to be his first child - a son Henry. On the 1597 right side page of image #8 <http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=547813&iid=502703>, lower middle is a marriage of Henrye PORTAS to a Chrystyne [somebody]. I have do idea what her surname should be. I have looked at other pages for names similar, but didn't spot any. I am hoping this is Henry's second marriage and someone knows that surname in question. Would anyone have access to these pages with a clearer view? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start here, and then work your way through the other images as necessary. http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=829537&iid=350629 The register for Long Bennington also includes events at Foston, hence the 'baptisms at Foston'. If you've not used the Lincs to the Past (LLTP) site before the 'help' section should tell you all you want to know.

It is said that she was born in 1773 in Long Bennington. However, that would make her younger than her children. I am wondering if maybe she was born in 1737 rather than 1773.
