Hi I am correct,that a person can be buried anywhere in the UK,in a cemetery different to the place of death. Nick

Also I have worked out how they might have met. A unit of the regiment spent several months at Fort George (near Inverness) instead of going directly from India to Ireland and so I assume that he might have been part of it. I am waiting to see if the Regimental Archives can throw any light on his actual movements. David

Both towns had railway stations in 1876, and the rail network was sufficiently advanced that they connected to the ports on the Irish Sea. I'm sure the journey could have been done one way in three days, and maybe two days if everything happened to fit together nicely. Richard

In 1876 Richard Rhodes married Georgina McKerron in Aberlour Banffshire. Richard was a senior NCO of the 62nd Regiment of Foot, stationed in Maryborough, Queens County, Ireland (now Portlaoise, Co. Laois) which he gave as his home parish and where the couple lived immediately after the marriage. Aberlour was Georgina's birthplace and hometown (although in 1871 she was living with an aunt in Elgin). Leaving aside speculation as to how they might have met, my questions are - How long might it have taken to travel from Maryborough to Aberlour and back? Did regular soldiers have an entitlement to statutory or discretionary leave at this time? David

Previous > years, going back to 2008, it was around £135 ! I haven't renewed. And the £179.99 already states a saving of £60. If you search for "ancestry discount offers" you will find a lot of offers/discount codes. I looked at a couple and I'm not sure they are any more than the above - but I didn't go all the way to the checkout? However, Ancestry themselves have sometimes had a 25% discount to new members around Christmas/New Year. You just need to use a different e-mail address.

Previous > years, going back to 2008, it was around £135 ! I haven't renewed. I have always rung ancestry at renewal time and successfully negotiated a discount as I am a long standing member. Another option (don't know if you have them in Australia) is to trawl the cashback sites to see if you can get cashback on the sub. I've just looked at 2 here in the UK and they are both offering about 25% cashback (on the pre-tax price) for new customers . Well I could be a new customer if I tried, I have bought subs as gifts before and they don't care if the account holder's name and address is different from the card holder's. Though be aware that cashback doesn't always track and even if it does it can take a good few weeks to get it. -- Tickettyboo

[] I fear not: I think I've read (probably here) that his _male_ line died out, so anyone claiming descent _and with the name Cromwell_ is likely (not impossible) to be wrong.

IDK if it's directly or not but Daniel is my 9th great grandfather following the paternal lineage from my great great grandfather. (does that make sense?). Anyway.. I was reading "The Crumb Genealogy" (it's free on Google books) and it was stated that it wasn't known (at the time of the book writing) from where Daniel was descended from. there were three "rumors", one of them being he's descended from the Cromwells. If he were, I'm thinking more along the lines of the name Cromwell was shortened for recording purposes (Like my great grandfather's name was from a long polish "ski" name to a six letter "Americanized" name). It could also be thru marriage as well. I prob will never know but that would just be so freaking awesome if we were related to them! So i Just wanted to post that. :)

Nick. Using advanced search using address, other family member or the reference (I was lucky to copy a couple of references before FMP removed the references) the results are still different depending on which computer is used. Even when on the laptop a 2nd family member is entered only the person searched is displayed whereas the ipad gives the 2nd name. I think FMP closed The additional person display on windows and missed it on the ipad. I expect they will change this when they notice there error. Pam
