Hi Jan If you are happy you have the right family and in all other records she is Agnes Caroline the most likely reason for the Agnes Catherine in 1861 is the enumerators transcript of the household schedule It seems unlikely the family entered the name wrong so handwriting is probably the cause ie the enumerator couldn't read the name easily so entered what he thought it said They didn't have time to go back and recheck every detail Have you checked there are no Agnes Catherine LYALLs births registered in 1858/1859?

There is a burial record for Whaplode Cemetery 19th November 1915 for a John FLETCHER age 83 which might fit the bill. I believe the library in Spalding has old newspaper records so it's worth contacting them for further information. Mick

After many years of searching I "think" I have finally found the marriage of my 4xgt grandfather's parents!! I had previously located a baptism of a Richard BRANT 5 June 1709 St Michael's on the Mount.Lincoln ( parents a William & Elizabeth) but thought it was perhaps a little early for my chap who wouldn't have married until about 1736/7 ( my 3xgr grandfather being born ca 1739, parents Richard BRAND and Jane). A few years ago Rex Johnson was very kind and searched numerous parish registers for that marriage with no luck, as did I. However yesterday I was scrolling through the "Family Search" data and by chance came across a Lincolnshire Marriage "Licence" ( 16 March 1736/7) of a Richard BRAND and a Jane THACKER. No note of where they eventfully married however. There is a baptism too of a Jane THACKER ( parents Will & Elizabeth) 1708 St.Swithin. Checking back I did find a likely marriage of a William BRAND and an Elizabeth HUNTON in Boultham ( which from maps I see was just a mile or two away from Lincoln). It seems as though there were 7 children baptised ( in St Michaels' Mount & St Swithin) to a couple with those names between 1703 and 1717 ( my Richard bp 1709 included). I just had to let you know that patience does pay off in the end. I shall now have to fork out a few quid to see a copy of the whole thing. I hope that all makes sense!

Hi David I would not hold your breath awaiting its release The 1921 and onwards are held by the Office of National Statistics If you look at <www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/tcensus/2011/index.html> Search for 1921 and you will find a FOI request in December 2013, together with the refusal for same Clearly there to say don't bother trying I suppose its amusing that they publish the details of the person making the request in 2013 yet refuse data from 90+ years ago So I suspect you like everyone will be waiting until January 2022 e petitions are a complete waste of time anyway and not worth considering IMHO, what good has ever come from them Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 19/01/2014 15:35, DAVID ROBINSON wrote: > HiThere is an e-petition for the release of the 1921 census. > Details can be obtained the LRFHS web site > Regards David Robinson

Whilst born in Yorkshire (Doncaster), like all the MEANWELL family Robert Henry MEANWELL's roots are in Lincolnshire. Born in 1883 in Doncaster, Yorkshire, his father was Thomas MEANWELL (born Mareham Le Hill, Lincolnshire 26/12/1860) and his mother was Elizabeth MEANWELL (nee MARSDEN) born in 1860 in South Carlton, near Worksop. Robert Henry served in the Boar War in the Imperial Yeomanry and was, along with other local veterans, made a Freeman of Doncaster on 19 November 1902. His medal record shows his entitlement to the clasps for the Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Laing's Nek & Natal. He went on to serve in the 1^st Yorkshire Dragoons (Doncaster) in the Great War and was Gazetted on 29 March 1919 as being awarded the Military Medal for bravery in the field.His rank is given as corporal. His younger brother Frederick also had a long career in the army including fighting alongside his elder sibling in the Boer War. Robert Henry married Minnie MEANWELL, nee HUBBARD in Doncaster in 1907.The 1911 census lists three children, all recorded as belonging to Robert Henry although the first is listed as Richard Kelly HUBBARD(born Doncaster 1906, died Doncaster 1971).Other children were Frederick (born Doncaster 28/12/1907), Leslie (born Doncaster 22/08/1909) and Reginald (born Doncaster 1916). Minnie died in Doncaster in 1919 aged 33 and Robert does not appear to have remarried.He diedin 1939 in Doncaster, aged 55. Regards, David Meanwell

Posted for Clive OWEN: I am trying to trace the funeral of John FLETCHER who was born in 1835 at Whaplode, parents Charles and Mary Ann Fletcher.  John married Emma Boardman at Whaplode on the 30th April 1866 and they had six children Eliza, Joseph, William, Samuel, Henry and Naomi.  I have a cutting from the Spalding Free Press of the 24th November 1908 detailing an interview with him in which he says he enlisted in the 17th Foot on the 4th December 1854 and was sent to the front in the Crimea on the 29th May 1855.  After many battles he was eventually discharged from the Army  on a pension of 9p per day from the 1st April 1895 from the Royal Hospital, Chelsea and on the 5th October 1906 it was increased to 1s per day.  The paper goes on to say that Mr. Fletcher was buried at Whaplode Cemetery with military honours. I have been unable to find an account of this funeral anywhere which I think is surprising considering his interesting life and receiving military honours at his funeral.  It is thought that he died in 1908 but I have not been able to find the exact date. Perhaps someone has knowledge of his date of death and perhaps an obituary.  Any information will be gratefully received. Clive Owen

Hi Jan Did you mean Leicestershire or Lincolnshire? If Leicestershire there were two main ones I am aware of The Towers in Leicester and Carlton Hayes at Enderby Leicestershire records office or the National Archives may be able to help But usually the patient records are subject to a 100 year closure from the last entry They may be able to give admission details or perhaps others with other patient details redacted but you would need to ask them Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18/01/2014 15:07, Jan Moon wrote: > My relative was admitted to this institution 14 Mar 1889, aged 43 - the records said he had Dementia, Cause unknown. > > He died 11 Ma 1915 aged 69, cause atrophy of the Brain. > > I’d like to know what went into a diagnosis of dementia in 1889, and what the term Atrophy of the Brain actually meant. > > Can anyone help? > > Regards > > Jan

These are always difficult to define, Jan.  It appears that they did not have the diagnostic tests of today, certainly did not do autopsies with the rigors of medical forensics.  I suspect that they observed the persons behavior and from that made their best guess as to a cause.  He seems a little young to have had what we now call Alzheimer's, but it is still possible.  There were also a number of toxins (even some folk cures), that could cause dementia. Hopefully, this doesn't apply, but they used to use mercury and arsenic to treat syphilis up until about World War II.  One wonders how many people medicine killed instead of cured in the 1800s.         Lou ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan Moon <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2014 7:07 AM Subject: [LIN] Leicestershire Asylum My relative was admitted to this institution 14 Mar 1889, aged 43 - the records said he had Dementia, Cause unknown.

Hi, Missing Lincs,     For the next two weeks, let's focus on the Boer War veterans.  Often they didn't get memorials built to them, but the Boer War was, perhaps, one of the first wars where the news correspondents got to report the reality of war, not the glorified, re-edited versions of the past.  It was a war where some families had members serving on both sides.     My grandfather, who was not from Lincolnshire, served there in the Royal Field Artillery.  He never talked to me about the details of his service.  I know that he handled the horses that drew the caissons and that he didn't go there until near the end of the war.     So tell us about your Lincolnshire relative who served.  What village was he from, what unit, where did her serve, did he survive?         Lou

Hi Bev, I usually start with Lincs to the Past http://www.lincstothepast.com/ entering Snitterby PAR 1 in the 'with the exact phrase' box, but when I saw that the earliest baptism register started in 1858 I had to resort to Plan B. :) That's Genuki, and Lou's list of Lincolnshire towns and parishes. http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/parishes.html Scroll down to church history/church records. Lincs to the Past, this time entering Waddingham PAR 1 in the search box. Though I usually cheat and check out FreeREG as well http://freereg.rootsweb.com/ mainly because when you get ages from census records they're not entirely accurate. :) You should find a possible candidate.

I have been trying to find more information on Thomas bapt.1664 in Bottesford parish.I know his parents names but there is no record of his death.In the register there is a likely Thomas mentioned who murdered a William Nurse Jan.1689.I have tried to find an assize record but apparently a good deal of records were destroyed by an inept clerk.Can anyone think of where this may have been recorded?I need proof that this Thomas was not the one who supposedly married a Martha Wright in Mass.1681.

If you are missing a William Coddington , born C 1804, I just saw a headstone in a book I bought last week. The book is " Monumental Inscriptions of the Harden Shire" which is in NSW Australia. The inscription reads, " CODDINGTON, William, of Currawong, formerly of Spalding, Lincolnshire, died 11 April 1881, aged 77 years: also Betsy CODDINGTON, wife of William CODDINGTON of Currawong, died 5 Sep 1889, aged 78 years. Note, I have no connection with the Coddington family David Central Coast NSW
