Good day fellow researchers, if anyone is visiting the LMA in the near future I wonder if I could possibly ask for a lookup. I'm trying to verify the father of Penelope Dodd on her parish registry marriage entry. I have the LMA ref number for the fiche and the date so it shouldn't be a long search. I have the Marriage certificate from the GRO and her father is given as Thomas. >From Census and Parish records I suspect her father was actually Stephen. I'm hoping that there was a transcription error somewhere along the line from the original. The details are: Marriage: William Tillett and Penelope Dodd. St Pancras Parish Church. 1st January, 1860 LMA Ref: X030/48 Many thanks in advance. Neil

Catherine, None of the registers suggested below covers the period you want. Those for St Mary Magdalen Woolwich 1770-1780 are browsable (not searchable) on Ancestry by this route: London, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 > Greenwich > St Mary Magdalene, Woolwich > 1762-1778 and London, England, Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812 > Greenwich > St Mary Magdalene, Woolwich > 1779-1799 They're supposed to be complete, but you will need to check for yourself. Ancestry have made many errors in the labelling and location of parishes, and some pages (and sections of registers) have been missed in the filming. HTH Judy London, UK -----Original Message----- From: kent-eng-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:kent-eng-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of pam hillier Just had a squizz on Ancestry and Baptisms 1813 - 1906 St John the Baptist Eltham High St Greenwich and Woolwich Royal arsenal and dockyard chapel Holy trinity St john St Michael and All angels St mary magdalene.

Records for soldiers discharged to pension before 1854 are surname-indexed in the National Archives online catalogue. Charles ALEXANDER's pension records are indexed here http://tinyurl.com/ygpyu8a You should be able to get an estimate for a copy by clicking Request This (top right). Note that this service is to close on 31 March, as TNA are introducing a new online ordering service on 16 April.

Hi Listers, Looking for ANY family of the following... MILLER Henry (Harry) Ponsworth (or Ponsford) 1894 Greenwich, Kent MILLER Bertie 1900 Greenwich, Kent MILLER George Edward 1903 Greenwich, Kent MILLER Alice 1907 Greenwich, Kent MILLER Louisa Elizabeth 1909 Greenwich, Kent - 10 March 1986 Lewisham Hospital, London Louisa married John Edwin Ford 1 Jul 1934 Parish Church, Christchurch Greenwich All are siblings of my grandfather William Richard MILLER 2 Apr 1897 Rotherhithe, London - 20 Feb 1980 Bermondsey Southwark, London All were children of: MILLER William Richard & SHEEN Alice Jane Just to be on the safe side I will also submit this to the London list because I realise that Greenwich changed from Kent to London. However, at the time of their births, they were registered as Greenwich, Kent. I would dearly love to hear from any of my dad's family, (also a William Richard MILLER). Many thanks, Lesley

Could anyone tell me if all the Woolwich parish registers circa 1770-1780 are now on line and contained within Greenwich or is this just a partial and the rest are elsewhere. If so, are they searchable on-line? Thanks. Catherine

Thank you Chirani,  (Woops)I should have said 1871, for the Dolphin,  not 1851. The Dolphin was in port at the time. With thanks, for all your information. Sylvia.

A hearty thanks to Mary and Maureen for their input into my Alexander query. The Chelsea pensioner's records I seek are not available for a few more months, but Mary and Maureen have provided me with a possible baptism and marriage for Charles, and a few more headaches! Cheers, Robyn of Oz.

Hi Listers, I believe some records for the Pensioners have been released on Find my Past?, so would SKS be able to do a search for me please? I seek ANYTHING for a Charles ALEXANDER, b1785 in Calne, Wilts, and married to Mary. He was living in Brook Sq, Southwark by the 1851 census , his occ. listed as being a labourer (Chelsea Pensioner)....so obviously an 'out' pensioner. On the 1861 census, he was widowed, a Private, 76 yrs and living 'in' at the District Royal Hosp. I do not know exactly when he died, but there is a likely one in 1870 in Chelsea. TIA, Robyn of Oz.

They have indeed, but, sadly, FindMyPast expressly forbid look ups to be done. Anyone doing a look up risks the loss of their account. FMP does monitor the mailing lists. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Just a reminder that FindMyPast are vey strict as regard look-ups for others. They will terminate subscriptions of those that do so. Their short subs are very reasonable if you only need to look up a few things.

No, they won't be at the church or shouldn't be. The marriage registers should be in the record office. You could mail them with a copy of the document you hold and ask them to compare the signatures. > A long shot but with fingers crossed. That leaves the birth > Registers. Does anyone know where these are kept. At the GRO and the local register office. The GRO holds a transcript of a transcript so no original signatures. You may be luckier with the register office, but I've only had a copy with no original signature. You could try asking for a copy of the birth certificate with the original signature. > Also, does anyone know how an Able Bodied sailor became one.

Hi Everyone, I have just received a Crew List for what I hope is my Gt. Grandfather. This tells me that William Holness was discharged from The Dolphin and signed on to the Taunton Packet and was discharged in Dec. of 1851. So this is definitely the William Holness,  1851 census born age 27 born Canterbury, an A/B sailor. This still does not tell me that this is my William Henry Holness who married at Whitstable Parish Church 12th June 1882. Neither does it tell me that the family at Wickhambroaux 1851 is his. There are no intervening census for him. But what it does have is his signature on this document. William signed his marriage certificate and also my grandfather’s birth certificate when he registered his birth at Canterbury 1882. Can anyone tell me where would the original Registers be held, as the only thing I have come up with so far is to compare the signatures? Are the marriage indexes held at the church, in which case I will write to the Vicar and ask if he can please compare the two. A long shot but with fingers crossed. That leaves the birth Registers. Does anyone know where these are kept. Also, does anyone know how an Able Bodied sailor became one. Did they have to work for a number of years, to become one, or serve as an apprentice? This is new ground for me. With thanks, from Sylvia in Aus.

Jo-Ann O'Neill, Don't forget William Moon who made it to the Dictionary of National Biography: he was the son of James and Mary Funnell Moon, born at Horsmonden, Kent, on 18 December 1818; went totally blind in 1840 but turned this to his advantage in that he published in Brighton, Sussex, books and maps for the blind. He married Mary Ann Caudle in 1843 and then Ann Maria Elsdale in 1866. His death came on 10 October 1894. He apparently was a brother-in-law of Edward Verrall, printer in Brighton. Another Moon was Thomas Moon, again of Brighton in Sussex. He was a stationer there at least between 1874 and 1887. I haven't yet checked where he came from. Richard Goulden

Hello Jo-Ann, If you need to cast your net further out from Canterbury, you will find a number of people named MOON in the area between Faversham and Ashford, around Selling, Sheldwich, Throwley, Badlesmere and Leaveland.
