A bit of help please? Looking at recently released files on Ancestry, I found John Thomas CHESSON listed amongst the crew who drowned at sea on the Glencoe on 21 Oct 1882. He was described as "O.S" as were several others of his shipmates, other crew members included "Master", "Mate" and "AB". Was an "O.S" an Ordinary Seaman" and if so how did he differ from an "A.B"? The entry said he was 18 but as his birth was registered in Q2 of 1866 and he was 4 in the 1871 census, I suspect he was in fact only 16. Nick Member 4108 Chesson and Variants

Hi John, This is where I find myself confused with the terms used in the "Seven Pillars". I treat "synthesis" as being about understanding familial relationships (and other) between people, and "analysis" as including such as demographics. But, as with many things, we all have our own terminology. So - with the 300,000 entries I have for the UK Census (1841 : 1901), I should be able to carry out a lot of (what I called) "analysis". I say "should" - because I have only scratched the surface (e.g. looking at frequency of first names) - and have so much more I could do. It is just a shame I didn't manage to download data from North America as this would have helped a lot with analysis of the international migration.

Many thanks to Ken and Brian for your suggestions. Ken, you were spot-on with the signature, but the initials appear twice on the document and are clearly RFG. Perhaps this was the unit initials before it became the RFA and later the Royal Artillery. I'll sort this out on my next research trip - The Army List for 1920 -21 should provide the answer. Brian, I can find no trace of a unit calling itself a regiment of foot guards, except for the Polish one I mentioned in my original posting. I have never seen 'Guards' as part of the 79th's title. Incidentally they were resurrected and disbanded more than once after 1757. Although originally raised in Colchester, it later became a Scottish regiment with a variety of titles - 79th. Regiment of Foot (Cameronian Volunteers) and the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders are two of them. Once again, many thanks Pat Dunbar #2248 On 18 April 2016 at 20:22, Patrick R. L.

Hi, Just to say I have a Hannah Maria Thomas in my family tree but she almost always called herself Annie. Makes finding her difficult when she is a possible marriage witness. Which is an idea for checking possible relatives if you have marriages which took place after 1754, to see if any Hanwells were marriage witnesses or executors on wills of other people.

Ahh - those were the days. I was able to download all my UK (1841-1901) census data before the loop-hole was stopped. Unfortunately, I took too long a rest before attempting USA data - and was too late. So that was the end of my bulk data acquisition. Luckily - it was soon after that when people started discussing the question of what good is having all that data. While part of me said - "agree - leave it where it is - as long as I pay Ancestry, I can access it when I want" - another part said "how can I access the ancestry database to look at distribution, migrations, etc". So - in hind-sight I should have downloaded everything - but I cannot turn back the clock. My analysis of the data will have to be UK-only for the foreseeable future.

Just tried this out and it appears that before there was a loop hole and the site was not validating its input. 50 is the maximum you can display and before they must have forgotten to validate that the www input wasn't requesting an invalid amount. This is what my brother calls injecting information into a script, which can be problematic if used for nefarious means. Security requires this injection doorway to be closed. I suspect there is no way to circumvent this as if they have fixed this oversight they probably have done a security overhaul to the site.

Resent, as my original response was too long. Dear John and interested Goons members, I started studying and researching my family tree in my teenage years. It was 1965 when my Father died and I took up his research shortly after that. My problem is similar to yours. I have taken my own branch of the family no further back, other than find my Great Great Grandfather - John Hanwell's Christening record in the Bishops Transcripts of Holy Trinity Church, Hull. Nothing is recorded in the actual church record! From the Christening Record, I found that John's Father was also called John, which seemed like a major step forward at the time. My Father had already discovered from an apprenticeship certificate of James Hanwell (brother of John - my Great Great Grandfather) that James' Mother was called Hannah. The ASSUMPTION being that Hannah was the Mother of both. There the trail ends, which was why I began my one-name-study of ALL branches of the HANWELL family. It is clear that my Great Great Great Grandfather (John Hanwell senior) was a stray from another county, or from the Denby Dale area of the West Riding (where there were Hanwells at that time). There was a family story that my Great Great Grandfather's parents were evicted from their home when Blenheim Palace was built and its estate landscaped, so they emigrated to East Yorkshire, but I cannot find any confirmation for that. All of my known direct line HANWELL ancestors including John Hanwell and his Brother James Hanwell were born in Hull and all (including me) were christened at Holy Trinity Church in Hull, but there were no Hanwells whatever (except one stray Sailor 150 years earlier) to be found in Hull, or anywhere in the East Riding of Yorkshire. I have an oil painting and the handwritten 1908 diary of John Hanwell (born 1782, died 1854) and he mentioned Cousin ROOM who lived at Ball Hall, Storwood in the East Riding of Yorkshire, Aunt RILEY and Uncle BROCKLEBANK who he met in Hull. I have therefore searched for HANWELL, ROOM, RILEY and BROCKLEBANK connections, all to no avail. As John was a Methodist minister in the first year of his ministry in 1806, when he began his diary, I do wonder if "Cousin", "Aunt" and "Uncle" might have been friendship titles, rather like the title "Brother" is with Monks? Like you, I now have a one-name study containing thousands of records, but not one which gives me a likely parentage for my Great Great Grandfather John Hanwell and not one with a ROOM, RILEY or BROCKLEBANK connection. I have one Hannah Rusby marriage to a John Hanwell, but it has children with dates which are interspaced with my John and my James and which are all in Denby Dale, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, near Penistone, where their marriage took place. There would be no likely reason for children of one family to be alternately born at such a distance from each other. Best Wishes from Adrian. ---------- ********** ---------- Adrian Hanwell.

Yes the very one (John Peel). My wife's Great-Grandfather came from the Cumberland Fells I traced them back in Torpenhow and the surrounding villages to 1682 and with the John Peel link worthy of a WDYTYA show I traced her Great-Grandmothers line back to the same period in SW Scotland, Kirkcudbright, Dalry & Newton Stewert. Whereas my LAWS line is no further back, in spite of a 43,000 record ONS than I was when I started over 40 years ago.

Yes Ron - that was great while it lasted, but Ancestry changed their "system" and now we are limited to downloading in limited batches (probably to stop people who do huge data scraping contrary to the terms and conditions). Even small downloads are still helpful for working with records and I would suggest if the same records are held by FamilySearch.org our Guild members might want to go there - FamilySearch with an account (free account and free access to records) and you can export to cvs format so they make it easy (one click of a button) - I think in groups of 25, 50 and 75 - and you get the link to the record in your spreadsheet. I mentioned that is a presentation I did on Microsoft Excel tips - put the recordings on my YouTube channel (TessaWatch).

Pat, I think it is RFA, not RFG, Royal Field Artillery. His name appears to be Major J Cameron Dunbar. This fits with https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/31039/supplement/14097/data.pdf Which refers to Major Joseph Cameron Dunbar, DSO, Royal Artillery in 1918.
