Hello Jim   We have today, been to Tealby church and taken photographs of many of the headstones.  We looked at every single one and there are no COCKLING ones.  However, there are a number of headstones dotted around the churchyard which are illegible.  I see from freereg that there are burials of COCKLING at Tealby but of course that doesn't mean to say there are headstones.  We didn't get as far as Fotherby but will flag your email so that when we go in that direction again, I'll take a look.

For details of RAF Grantham take a look at http://raf-lincolnshire.info/spitalgate/spitalgate.htm. This shows that from 14 Mar 1919 39 Training School was based there, being renamed as 6 Flying Training School on 29 Apr 1920. They remained there until May 1921 after which occupation was as follows: // *43 Sqn <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/43sqn/43sqn.htm>*:: Sep 1919 - Jan 1920 *100 Sqn <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/100sqn/100sqn.htm>* :: 4 Feb 1922 - ??, Aug 1926 - Jan 1928 *39 Sqn <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/39sqn/39sqn.htm>* :: 8 Feb 1923 - 21 Jan 1928 *HQ 23 Gp <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/23gphq/23gphq.htm> *:: 12 Apr 1926 - 14 Aug 1926 *3 FTS <http://raf-lincolnshire.info/3fts/3fts.htm>*:: 2 Apr 1928 - summer 1937 Hope this helps.

If a message Bailey 1911 census comes through I must have had a Seniors moment and sent it to the list instead of my sister. Sorry about that. Must look at what I'm doing and get brain and fingers to work together.

I self published [beware of who you use I had a bad experience] my family history book, as part of the package the publisher deposited books with each of the legal deposit libraries in the UK [five I think] I also gave copies of the book to Archives some who willingly gave me permission to use material others allowed use providing I didn't make a profit [hardly likely due to all the research costs etc] I also gave a copy to Scunthorpe Museum [permission to use photo's] and Scunthorpe Library [they also purchased several other copies for educational purposes]. Now after my bad experience with the publisher, the book I proofed and copies I received [and bought later] were of a far superior quality than the books they sold to my relatives. I self published on a site called YUDU http://free.yudu.com/ so those who were 'robbed' with the inferior book could access the book and pictures for free. I was for a few hours number 19 in Amazon's Genealogy book chart.

The Genealogical Society in London has (or used to have) paper copies of family trees which I found very useful in the past. Also the county record offices accept items related to family history, that would be North Lincolnshire I think for you. Some one will correct me if I am wrong. They were very helpful when I wanted to get rid of a load of old Lincolnshire legal documents I had been carting around from house to house because I couldn't bear to throw them away. Also why not try Grimsby library? Jo Perkins On 17 Nov 2011, at 00:43, Louis Mills wrote: > -snip- > > >> How do I get a birth certificate for James Frederick Markham ?. > > You can't, really.

-snip- > How do I get a birth certificate for James Frederick Markham ?. You can't, really.  Birth certificates weren't standard until Civil Registration came along in mid-1837.  Best you can get is a copy of his baptism record from the church register, > Also, since this Markham family is much from Wrawby and Keelby, once I > have finished my genealogical book, at which 1-3 places could I leave a > copy of  this book for keeping and preservation etc. ?. Which would be > the best places tosubmit a few copies of my book ?. Ken, I suggest that you try the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.  It's still the world's largest genealogical library.  You can also try a Local Family History society, but contact them first.  Many of them don't have the room to store very much.  Of course, I also joke that if you publish on the Internet, it will never die. You own local library might keep a copy, but mine is so small and understaffed right now, they aren't even taking ANY donations.  And don't forget the local Archives office.  Again, they can be picky and unreceptive because many of them are short-staffed and running out of space.  But it never hurts to ask.  Especially if you can convince them that it's full of local people and events.     Lou (list admin.)

Anyone has information about John Ross 1810-? and James Ross 1824-? They may be related but I have no proof. James was in Stamford in the 1850s, John was working in Kirton Lindsey in the 1840s. If anyone is descended from these men please get in touch.

I am getting the same  issue that Judith reports, but the Essex lists have done the same so I don't think it has to do with the Lincs administration..  A year or so ago I and another member were receiving complete garbage, but then it corrected itself just as mysteriously as it started, so I think we have to be patient.  New Zealand lists are fine!   Mary ________________________________ Judith wrote: The list of contents for each day is now appearing near the end of the e-mail instead of at the beginning.  Am I the only one having this problem?

Brilliant, Mike! Don't forget folks, that many women who were married earlier remarried after July 1837, and of course after that father's names are given in the marriage entries, and most are in the index. I spent many years researching a Randle Lawrence in Hertfordshire thinking he was the father of my several greats grandmother, Maria Lawrence. Then we found that she had remarried after 1837 and her father was James from Berkshire!!!
