Hi it's about time I gave one of my walls a dusting off and try to sort it. Looking for Birth details and parents of Ann HUIT b abt 1819, father on her marriage cert was William HUIT Boatswain RN. A witness was a Mary HUIT (could be mother). Ann married Thomas HOLLIS 26 Jun 1842 Portsea, she died 4 May 1845 Portsea. The nearest I can find is 1871 census Portsea William HUIT head b abt 1787 Liverpool occ Gunner RN and Mary Wife b abt 1794 N America, Canada. Could they be the same, both in RN what's difference between Gunner and Boatswain could he have changed his trade in the RN. Suggestions wanted Bob Newell

Can someone tell me what year approx Kelly's started Bob

In the Royal Navy he was a Petty Officer who was in charge of boats, sails, rigging, colors, anchors and cordage . He superintended the rigging of the ship in dock. He was responsible for caning or whipping of defaulters. and it was his duty to summon the crew to work by a whistle. The boatswain's whistle is particularly shrill and could usually be heard above the noise of battle. It was later used to signal the boarding of officials and senior officers. It became a badge of office In the Merchant Marine he was the foreman of the crew and was sometimes also third or fourth mate.

The National Archives advised last Friday that FriendsReunited had bought the contract for the 1901 census service from QinetiQ The Message from TNA was as follows: "This is to advise you that QinetiQ (operators of our popular 1901 census service) have sold the contract this afternoon to FriendsReunited. We were not party to the negotiations but our approval was necessary. We sought and obtained assurances about the standard of customer service FriendsReunited will offer and believe that it is a positive development for 1901 customers. Customers will not notice any difference in the way the service operates." A press release will be issued by the two parties on Monday Linda & Tony

Hi! There are excellent records of Royal Navy personnel at Kew. You can trace his entire career, including all the ships he served on, but you either have to do it in person or pay a researcher to do it for you. Margaret Sanders from Wiltshire

Hi Ray No, bleeding from the other side is not the problem, it is just very very faint, it is just visible I thought it might be a bit clearer on the original if it is possible to view them. After I sent the email, I realized I should have explained all that, but it was too late to do so. Probably the fact I put unreadable has frightened most people off, however your idea is a very good one and I think I will collect the relevant fiche and take them to my local LDS where they have a fiche copying machine, I am just not real sure just how much they can blow it up, but it's worth a try. Thanks for that.

Hi Bob, The first Kelly's Directory was just for London and appeared in 1799. Other regions and counties were added later. I believe that the first Hampshire edition was 1845.

Ann HUIT married Thomas HOLLIS 1842 in Portsea and the Father on marriage Certificate was William HUIT (Boatswain RN). A witness was a Mary HUIT. The nearest I have found is William NEWELL in 1871 Portsea Census with wife Mary b North America. He is listed as occ Gunner RN. I don't know how much difference a Boatswain is to Gunner do you. Hoping to find this family in Hampshire. Regards Bob Newell

Hi Lesley, I don't know if your problem is the same as mine was, which was the bleeding of ink through the paper used in the original Parish record. I had to get enlarged photocopies off the fische and thank goodness that the ministers handwriting sloped at 45 degrees (as mine does) because I snowpacked out all the backward sloping writing (ie that which had seeped (bled) through from the other side) leaving only (most of) the writing on the side that I wanted to retain. You may not have had the bleeding (no, not the bloody problem as I'm sure that you wanted to call it at times) through the paper, but I would recommend enlarging the doc as much as possible from the fische. Kind regards, Ray Christmas, New Zealand. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lesley C.
