Can anyone recommend any book on the subject of probate pre 1858? I have read the McLaughlin Guide on the subject but that is only an introduction. I also have 'Wills and Other Probate Records' by Grannum and Taylor which is mainly about sources of information and does not have the detail I require about how it worked. I am interested in not only what the law was and how it operated in practice but also in how it changed over time and what local variations there were. David

Hi Ron If its outgoing passenger lists from the UK you are looking for then the link below gives information. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=106&j=1 Lists from 1890 to 1960 are on Findmypast, there might be a few earlier than that at The National Archives in London but it seems not many have survived.

Thankyou Gordon for taking the time to look for the Farrell/Kelly Marriage, I do have the Copy of the Salford Marriage, it was held in "Mount Carmel Church", Oldfield Road, Salford. Fathers' names are Thomas Farrell and Michael Kelly, both deceased. The Fathers' names for my Grandparents are John Farrell and Peter Kelly. Thankyou again Gordon. <<Marriage 1912 MarchQ Salford 8d/120 Thomas FARRELL and Mary J KELLY Lancashire BMD indicates that the event was either a civil ceremony in the Salford Register Office or a registrar-attended service in a non-conformist church (eg Roman Catholic).>>

Hi George Although born in Huddersfield (c1831) neither of Jane's marriages took place there. On Lancashire BMD :- 1856 Edge Hill St Mary, Liverpool John ROBINSON and Jane WALLWORTH Ref :- Liverpool 2043WD/3/384 On Free BMD :- 1856 DecQ John Douglass ROBINSON and Jane Adlington WALLWORTH Ref :- West Derby 8b/618 Don't know if you're aware of this, but Jane's 2nd marriage now features on Lancs OPC :- 4 August 1867 St Bartholomew, Vauxhall, Lancashire John TREVASKISS, full age, shipping agent, widower, of 23 Hunter Street, and Jane ROBINSON, full age, widow, of 23 Hunter Street Groom's father : John TREVASKISS, mariner Bride's father : Edward WALLWORTH, book-keeper Witnesses : Charles WALLWORTH and Elizth CHATTERLLEY Married by Registrar's Certificate by C J FOX The witness Charles WALLWORTH was also born in Huddersfield (c1838). He appears to have married an Alice SCARISBRICK in Everton St Chrysostom in 1858, and in the 1871 Census was a 33 year-old heraldic & general engineer living at 46 Market Street, Everton. 'Your' John TREVASKISS of course features in my own extended family tree by virtue of his son John (b1844 Liverpool) having married Caroline TURTLE (b1847 Liverpool) in Liverpool St Peter in 1866. Caroline's first cousin once removed George EDWIN TURTLE (b1887 Tranmere) married my 3rd cousin once removed Elizabeth LACEY (b1884 Sutton, St Helens) in 1913. Elizabeth is a 2 x great-grandaughter to my own ancestor William EVANS (b1775) - believed to have been the first licensee of the Little Brighton Inn in Rowson Street, New Brighton - and a 3 x great-grandaughter to Hoylake fisherman Peter JONES (born c1743) and Elizabeth HUGHES, to whom many on this list can relate.

Above are the names I am researching, originating from Ireland (unknown County), and then from Warrington to Widnes and in the case of Thomas Farrell migrating to Briton Ferry, Glamorgan by the 1901 Census. I am particularly interested in the Marriage of Thomas Farrell to Mary (Polly) Kelly around 1913 this being his 2nd Marriage. The first Child from the Farrell/Kelly marriage being born in 1914, Polly was a Roman Catholic, she sent all her children to St. Josephs' Catholic School in Briton Ferry, so I am hoping they did marry??? Anyone researching these Families please contact me.....Thankyou for reading.......Meg

Just for information ----- Original Message ----- From: Ms Betty Fredericks To: Eng-Liverpool@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 11:21 AM Subject: [ENG-LIV] New List: CHILD-MIGRANTS-UK Hello, I've been given permission to announce a new List I started up. It is for discussing .all. of the "child migrants" which were either shipped out or flown out of the United Kingdom and Ireland. This "child migrant scheme" went on from 1860 to 1970 - about 100 years. And the children were sent to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, South Africa, Malta, etc. http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/UK/CHILD-MIGRANTS-UK.html * Please tell other researchers on other Lists about this new List. I've been posting about my great-grandparents for about 7 years. "Stanley" LEWIS and Mary CORKILL were born in Liverpool in 1859 and 1860. They and Mary's siblings went to the Liverpool Sheltering Homes in 1873 and all were shipped to families in Nova Scotia in 1874. I also joined the "British Home Children" List ~7 yrs. ago, and there are many stories to be read in the archives of that List. But, I couldn't find a List or Board where descendants could research all the children involved in that "child migrantation scheme." By the way, I've read that a great many of the maybe 150,000 children involved left the port of Liverpool in the County of Lancashire. Possibly they were on trains in Co. Lancashsire to get to Liverpool to get on the ships. I'd especially like the researchers on the LANCSGEN List to know about the new List.
