Hi Louise I imagine that the death locals will be reported in the papers but much depends on what information was available. My step brother's death, before I was born, was reported in the Hull Daily Mail. I have a copy of his death report. His ship was sunk by an Italian sub in NW Scotland in the second war. Come to think of it I have never seen his name on a war memorial in the Hull area but then I haven't looked. Since he was in the Merchant Navy it could have been on a memorial at St. Barnabas Church, which has been demolished. The Hull Daily Mail reported his memorial service there. On an another matter, which had nothing to do with family search, I searched some old newspapers in Brighton History Centre looking up details of women in the police in the First War. Here I came across loads of photos of men killed and these were on the front pages of the Brighton Herald. Since you are in Australia I would like to say the best war memorial I have ever come across was the Anzac Memorial in Canberra. It is huge though I don't recall any names on it but then I was not looking for any. Australia have other war memorials all better than any I have seen in England. The last time I went to Beverley archives I was looking at the minute book for Cottingham UDC. My grandfather, who was a councillor, proposed that they erect a war memorial. It was agreed and plans were drawn up for approval. These were then submitted to the council and were rejected as 'over elaborate' ! and the committee were asked to look into it again. The plans were re submitted without any changes and voted for and passed with 2 councillors voted against. I got all this information from the minute book and took photos of the pages. The war memorial is in Hallgate, Cottingham. Now that I know this I look at it every time I pass and remember my grandfather, Arthur Dixon. With the original rejections of plans I just wonder how many other councils rejected plans for war memorials in their area? Australia have good memorial even in Western Australia. I liked the one at Geralton HMAS Sydney Memorial. This poor war memorial in England is catching up as new ones have been erected over London, on the embankment and Constitution Hill and other places Victor On 24/05/2012 1:39 AM, Louise Read wrote: > Hi Lou, > > I have had a look at the war memorial as suggested, and there are > unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, no relatives > that belong to me. > > I do have a question though, was it customary in the UK to report the locals > who had been killed during war times in the newspapers? > I know here in Australia there was always a list of those casualties and it > was just a thought that if someone local had the time and inclination they > could look through the local papers of the time and maybe identify some of > these men and women. > I would be more than willing to do this, if only I lived closer! > > Regards > Louise > Perth WA > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Louis Mills"<louis_mills@att.net> > To:<eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 2:33 AM > Subject: [LIN] Colsterworth parish war memorial > > > > > I'm working my way thru the war memorials of four counties, always looking > for some of the surnames that I and some of you have been seeking. > > Colsterworth parish has a number of people listed on the Roll of Honour in > St. John's church and we don't know who they are.

I'm working my way thru the war memorials of four counties, always looking for some of the surnames that I and some of you have been seeking. Colsterworth parish has a number of people listed on the Roll of Honour in St. John's church and we don't know who they are.  A lot of them are from WWII.  Can you take a look and see if any of them are your rellies and let me know more about them.  I'll let the webmaster of the site have your information, too. http://www.roll-of-honour.com/Lincolnshire/ColsterworthStJohn.html Thank you for any help.     Lou

Hi Missing Lincs Mary Apethorpe married 10 July 1783 at Crowland to my Edward Hooton. Mary was bap. April 18, 1760 at Crowland to parents Robert Apthorpe who married Oct. 4, 1754 Ann Bearchell. I have Mary's siblings as John baptised Oct. 29, 1756, Elizabeth baptised Jan. 13, 1762 and Alice baptised Feb. 14, 1765. There may be more. I think they were a Crowland family. Id love to know more about Robert and Ann.dates and places of their baptism/burial and perhaps discover the next generation back. Is there anyone on list who links to this family? Thanks for any help Linda B.C. Canada

MGC: I need some help here in one area. Is the Thomas Markham m:1818 Hannah Ward, the same person as: Thomas Markham m:1812 Anne Nicholson. <--- For the latter m:1812 here, I have a son Joseph Markham b:1815. For TM's m:1818 to Hannah Ward, is there indication on the m. cert. that he as a widower ?. This [Joseph Markham m:1826 Anne Todd]: They have a son [Thomas Markham b:Abt.1854 m:1877 Mary Ladlow]. The [Thomas Markham m:1818 Hannah Ward] is son of [Joseph Markham + Elizabeth Stainton]. [My line !!!]. This would make a lot of sense to me if true. Thomas Markham m:1818 Hannah Ward, I have a dg for this Thomas Markham, who seems to be his dg, [Mary Ann Markham, Prof. Music (Hull Yorks) b:Abt. 1812], who is b. before m2?:1818 to Hannah Ward. It will fit perfectly if the case, and if I had better info. The son from the m:1812 to Anne Nicholson have son Joseph Markham b:1815, and Thomas Markham only marries again in 1818. Fits perfectly.... === This needs to be checked, but, here is a whole lot to connect to my lines: === Joseph Markham + Elizabeth Stainton I [Thomas Markham m1:1812 Anne Nicholson] I [Joseph Markham b:1815(?) m:1836 Anne Todd] I [Thomas Markham m:1877 Mary Ladlow] I === Joseph Markham + Elizabeth Stainton I [Thomas Markham m2:1818 Hannah Ward] === Was [Thomas Markham m:1818 Hannah Ward] a widower when he got married ?. Or, did Anne (Nicholson) Markham die [d:1812-1818 ?] [Wrawby or even Brigg/area ?]. - S.K.M. - [!!!] ==================

MGC: After this post, I will refrain much from cross posting. Markhams can be on the MARKHAM-UK list, and LINCS Markhams should be on this ENG-LINCS list too. Something I almost forgot about: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MARKHAM-UK/2003-05/1052006045 http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/MARKHAM-UK/2003-09/1063438343 According to Ken Smith + RB's posts : I just made text note of this record myself on Sunday from the Louth St. James register: William Markham b:21-06-1807 at Louth St. James a base child of Ann Markham. This William Markham m:10-1859 at Port Arthur Convict Church, Australia to Martha Jane Gilmore from Ireland. Ann Markham b:1785 at Alvingham, Lincolnshire, England. She m: George Ladlow (Ladley). Ann Markham b:1785 parents are John Markham + Mary Willerton. You know, I just found something of huge interest, and now I can't find it again !!!. But in looking for it, I found this: Ken Smith's father curiously m. my father's sister late in life, and she is still alive (100 yrs old this year!). This is the piece of info that will connect two people's trees: [Richard Markham b:1784 Alvingham m:1804 Ann Pawson]: He is the son of : [John Markham m: Mary Willerton]. [There will be a difference in DNA between these two Markham lines no doubt !!!]. MARKHAM THOMAS RICHARDSON FRANCES m:1765 ALVINGHAM MARKHAM FRANCES WID BROCKLEBANK WILLIAM m:1774 ALVINGHAM There must be more offspring for [John Markham m: Mary Willerton]. Much of these Markhams also seem to be in census at Louth, Saltfleet. There is enough there to go further. That's two chunks of Markhams joined up..... Now what was it I found earlier on ???. - S.K.M. - [!!!] ============================= === John Markham + Mary Willerton had Ann Markham b:1785. ??? ??? ??? ===

Regarding a lost child. I have a Elsie May Richards born 1895 Lincoln on the 1901 census as grandaughter to James and Harriet Richards but I can find nothing about who her parents are or what happened to her, there is another Elsie Richards on the 1911 census but born 1901 Lincoln and listed as grandaughter, I don't know if this is the same one or if the first one died or if they are from different parents. Have tried looking for the births but nothing seemed to fit. Could anyone please cast any light on this as I don't know where else to look. Barbara in Aus.

Hello Barbara. If you look at the actual return it is recorded that Elsie was 6 weeks old. Mick

MGC: http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Family:John_England_and_Mary_Keyworth_%281%29 === 1841: England Rebecca 1821 Lincolnshire Louth, Louth 1851: Markham Maria 1821 Rasen Louth, Louth 1861: Markham Rebecca 1821 Middle Rasen Louth, Louth 1871: Markham Rebecca 1821 Lincolnshire Louth, Louth 1881: Markham Rebecca 1823 Middle Rasen Louth, Louth 1891: Markham Rebekah 1821 Middle Rasen Louth, Louth === I will make this very brief. Rebecca England b:1821 or so, in 1851 is actually staying in Eastgate where here brother William England is too (chr:20-08-1809 Middle Rasen) (1841+1851 in Eastgate). Rebecca England has to be the 6th child unlisted on this page. This is unproved, but this does seem to me to be where she fits in. Four out of the six census records she clearly states where she is from and is most consistent to be b:1821. Rebecca's father is a John England. On her m. cert. for m. in Hull area, John England was Bar/Bee Keeper. What else could that be read as since it is difficult to read !!!. Either way, this is as close as it gets so far. The carriages usually left from Inns of Bars. This is my best guess so far. Your Martha Markham b:1838 m:05-02-1860 Thomas Charles Altoft at Walkergate Baptist Chapel, Louth. I would suggest you get into contact with descendants of these people. I am sure you have quite a bit to get going on .... .... .... === Philip Markham (Denmark), do you have this ?: [John Markham chr.:18-03-1715 Barnoldby Le Beck, Lincoln, England, son of John + Mary Markham]. This is close in area to your tree, that is all. === I am collecting any and all Markhams in or of Louth as back as one can go. - S.K.M. - [!!!] ========================

It was just by fluke that I discovered my great grandfather joined WWI at age 62(ish) by stating an age of 47 on enlistment. He invented his age every time he was asked, depending on the situation. Even at 62, some people have no sense. I think he was looking for a paycheque, nothing to do with patriotism. He did get to France, and also survived, even got married 10 years later to a 36 year old.

Which is all rather silly.  In most of the small parishes everyone knew your darkest secrets anyway.  And once you lie (or deny), the web of lies starts to get larger until something breaks.  A woman I used to know told me once that she had an affair with a co-worker and they took off to Las Vegas for a weekend together.  While they were at breakfast on the last day, two of her co-workers walked buy and gave them a cheery "Hello".  So much for privacy. I sat on a plane next to a pretty young woman and engaged her in conversation when I saw what she was reading.  I'm glad I behaved myself because it turned out she knew my wife! But people "fib", telling "white lies" to protect the family or coverup some poor choice they made.  Our job is to collect the documentation and make the best interpretation we can of it.  Some of my wife's relatives were surprised to find out where they were born, because all they knew was where they were raised.  This is one hobby where a little paranoia is a good thing, but a lot is not.     Lou ________________________________ From: Gordon Williams <gordon.w@shaw.ca> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 3:54 PM Subject: Re: [LIN] Admin. note: Ages As Lou indicated, census ages are movable numbers.  Many people were illiterate in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and probably couldn't read or understand a calendar even if they had one.

Hello They don't always appear to be totally honest about their parentage either! I've found a marriage certificate where the fathers are clearly named, but both the bride and groom were illegitimate. The bride's 'father' was listed as the local vet with whom she shared the same surname. I guess they had their reasons,..

only way I can think of, is to be a subscriber to one of the commercial sites - none of these census' are available free of charge. cheers Lynda NZ

If you search on the free to use FreeReg website there are quite a number of MUSSON bmd's on there. The pre 1800 registers for Timberland have recently been transcribed and will be on the website after the next database update. Mick. Lincolnshire co-ordinator for FreeReg http://www.freereg.org.uk/
