I have an occupation of "Inspector of C.M. Brigade" in an 1882 baptismal register at St Dunstans and All Saints, Stepney. The gentleman this pertains to became a Superintendent at Dr Barnardos in the 1901 census. Rosemary

Hi everyone, Could I have a little bit of sighted help please? Being blind, I heavily rely on transcriptions, but they sometimes kick up a problem or two. According to FMP, Edward NIXEY's occupation in 1851 is "flower factor" ...???? Whatever that is...? Is that a correct transcription please? Can't seem to find anything on that occupation...? Ref: HO107 piece 1509 folio 333 page 4 Also, could someone please check out: 1861 RG09 piece 174 folio 102 page 21 Edward & Eliza NIXEY have a boarder named Edward DERNELL according to FMP. I've just been digging around and it looks most likely he's their nephew, Edward DEVERILL, but mistranscribed? Any help on the above would be deeply appreciated. Thanks folks, best wishes, Jon

The first, is that, in terms of BDM events, it is limited to the GRO records and apparently does not includeparish registers; the searches must be for periods commencing no earlier than September 1837. In this particular case, as shown in the original message that I posted, my great-great grandfather Michael Horton BUSBY was apparently born in 1803. Another * Horton Busby, who could be one of his siblings, is shown as having been born/christened in 1801. Those events, which could lead to finding any siblings and parents of my ancestor, are excluded from the reebmd.org.uk search facility. The second thing, is that, in terms of the BMD events, the freebmd.org.uk search facility, only returns records in indices; not the full event records. Thus, for example, a birth result from the freebmd.org.uk search facility, does not show the parents for a birth entry, so that, if an entry was found for the birth of my Michael Horton Busby, it would not show the names of his parents. In the information that I had posted previously, the result for a birth of a male BUSBY with the middle name Horton, fom familysearch.org, showed the father to be Joseph Horton BUSBY. So, the freebmd.org.uk search facility, has its limitations, which inhibit my researching this particular component - possible relationships between BUSBY people with the middle name Horton. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

As a PS The batch for Hartwell baptisms records only one baptism for a BUSBY, that of Joseph But there are a number for HORTON, including some re an earlier Michael HORTON If you haven't already, you have access the batches on familysearch on the very useful Archersoftware site here :- http://www.archersoftware.co.uk/igi/ Also, had you seen the marriage for a Free BUSBY to a Sarah HORTON St Sepulchre Holborn 7th July 1800 Both of this parish, bachelor and spinster Both signed the register Witnesses James HORTON & Eliza BLAKE Interesting that Free BUSBY was baptised in Aylesbury in 1776 Name: Free Busby Gender: Male Birth Date: 27 Jan 1776 Baptism Date: 10 Mar 1776 Baptism Place: Saint Mary,Aylesbury,Buckingham,England Father: Thos. Busby Mother: Ann FHL Film Number: 919409 Just a thought and as there does not appear to be any obvious record of a Free BUSBY after 1800, what if Free adopted his fathers name of Thomas Food for thought perhaps Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

OK, www.FreeBMD.org.uk is specifically set up for the formal BMD registrations that started in the 3rd quarter of 1837. And for a number of years a lot of people didn't bother to register. www.FreeREG.org.uk is specifically set up for parish registers. HOWEVER, this is all done by volunteers and depends on whether they can get access to the registers. A couple of years ago I was transcribing London and the registers were unavailable. The executive committee tried to get them and were not having a lot of success. I'm not sure of the status. www.freeCEN.org.uk is for the UK Census. All three sites are run entirely by volunteers.

Then Bret you are not using it correctly Go to :- http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ Select search left side red button Select event type or all Enter surname and or first name By entering a + in front of the forename it will pick up the middle names as well And search Also at the foot of that search page is http://www.freebmd.org.uk/advanced-facilities.html Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > All I get at freebmd.org, are endless pointers to external web sites, > with no freebmd search engine. >

Hello. In trying to find information about BUSBY males with the middle name Horton, to try to find information about possible relatives of my great-great-grandfather Michael Horton BUSBY, apparently born in 1803 in Chesham in Buckinghamshire, and having raised a family in Middlesex, London, before he and his wife and offspring, emigrated to Australia and New Zealand, I found the following at familysearch.org. 1891 census - William H BUSBY Ecclesiastical Parish: St John Sub-District: Chesham District: Amersham Age: 6 Relationship to Head of Household: Son Birthplace: Chesham, Buckinghamshire Does anyone know for what the "H" in his name, stands, and/or, the genealogy of that BUSBY line? Christening - 3 February 1801 - Joseph Horton BUSBY Christening Place - Hartwell, Buckingham, England faater's Name; Thomas BUSBY Mother's name: Sarah Birth Registration - 1912 - Kathleen H BUSBY Event Place - Amersham, Buckinghamshire Mother's Maiden name: BUSBY Does anyone know for what, the "H" in her name, stands? Birth - 1913 - Cecil H G BUSBY Event Place - Amersham, Buckinghamshire Mother's maiden name: Rance Does anyone know for what, the "H" in his name, stands? Marriage - 14 July 1839 - William Horton BUSBY Event Place: St Mark Parish, Kennington, London Father's name: Thomas Busby Spouse's name: Sarah Elizabeth Birth - 1846 - Henry Horton BUSBY Event Place - London (also possibly born 1851 - London) Census - 31 March 1901 - Henry Horton BUSBY Ecclesiastical Parish: St James Sub-district: North-East Fulham Registration District: Fulham County: London, Middlesex (?) Relationship To Head Of Household: Head Age: 50 Birthplace: City Of London Marriage - 31 August 1835 - Thomas Horton BUSBY Event place: St Martin In The Fields, Westminster, London Spouse's Name: Mary Ann COLLETT Marriage - 10 October 1875 - Henry Horton Busby Event Place - St James, Westminster, London Father's name: Joseph Horton BUSBY Spouse's name: Agnes BROWN Immigration - 1 March 1922 -Leslie Horton BUSBY Age: 22y Nationality - British, English Departure Port: Papeete, Tahili (Tahiti?) Arrival Port: New York Death - 1855 - Joseph Horton BUSBY Registration District: London Electoral Roll - 1904 - Harry Alfred Harel Horton BUSBY Address: 564 Kings Road Event Place: Fulham, London Electoral Roll - 1905 - same as immediately above, except this name in record is "Harch" Electoral Roll - 1906 - same as immediately above, except this name in record is "Hazel" Note: Electoral Roll - 1906 - at same address as Harry Alfred Hazel Horton BUSBY, is Victor Albert William BUSBY Also, ... In Electoral Roll -1906 - for Fulham, for the same address, as the person to whom the rent is paid, is Henry Horton BUSBY. So, that household at 564 Kings Road, Fulham, appears to include Henry Horton Busby - landlord Harry Alfred <some name> Horton BUSBY and Victor Albert William BUSBY So, Busby males with the Horton middle name, apart from my great-great-grandfather Michael Horton BUSBY, appear to have been in Buckinghamshire, possibly Oxfordshire, Middlesex, Fulham, London, Tahiti, and the USA. So, I am wondering whether anyone who reads this this message, has any knowledge of the people mentioned above, preferably including the family lines, and, whether anyone who reads this message, has any of these people in their family history. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............

I wondered why this hadn't hit the list Then realised I forgot to send ;-) If you search freebmd you would find the following Births Dec 1884 Busby William Henry Amersham 3a 583 Likewise if you search freebmd for surname BUSBY and forename +Horton you will get various hits But if you also try a search for marriage for surname BUSBY and surname HORTON (as that is often the reason Horton might be given as a middle name) you will find quite a few pages with those two surnames on That doesn't prove they married each other of course but perhaps food for thought for some of the births for those middle named Horton Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 31/07/2015 11:19, Bret Busby via wrote: > Hello. > > In trying to find information about BUSBY males with the middle name > Horton, to try to find information about possible relatives of my > great-great-grandfather Michael Horton BUSBY, apparently born in 1803 in > Chesham in Buckinghamshire, and having raised a family in Middlesex, > London, before he and his wife and offspring, emigrated to Australia > and New Zealand, I found the following at familysearch.org.

Robert Page was a prominent Norfolk sculptor and monumental mason. The Henry Moore archive indicates that he died "while visiting Rush, an architect at Battersea, London". Does SKS have any suggestions where details of "Rush" may be found? I've Googled without success. RIBA didn't exist then. Many thanks Ruth

Hi Nick Might I suggest taking a scan or digital photo of the uniform, then add it to one of the free sites of which there are many, then send a link to the list with an explanation that you would like opinions Similarly you could email the picture to the V&A or other institutions asking for opinions If you are visiting you don't want to waste your time visiting places that may not be able to help or at least may need an appointment You may get your answer without leaving your chair, leaving more time to sight see etc whilst here Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25/07/2015 17:58, Nicholas Wilson via wrote: > Hello, > > I have sought help in this matter before so forgive me for the repetition. > Now that I shall be visiting London soon (from Western Canada) I am trying > again.

Hello, I have sought help in this matter before so forgive me for the repetition. Now that I shall be visiting London soon (from Western Canada) I am trying again. I wonder if anyone can tell where I could go in London with a good copy of a half body portrait of man wearing a heavily gold laced, white silk lined,dark blue tunic to get an opinion on the man's rank, position, etc? The period would span 1815-1830. I have feeling it may have a connection with the early 19th century Consular Service but have as yet been unable to match it with illustrations already available on line. How about the V&A? British Library? PRO at Kew? Does anyone know if the three Mollo brothers John, Boris & Andrew, who published a great deal on uniforms in the 1960-80s are still active and approachable?

Hilda)1898 Ellen > diedLooking for family in 1891 census You will find Ellen M Mauran in 1891, living at 35 Oxford Road, Willesden with her daughter Hilda V[era], at ref. RG 12 1046 folio 12 page 20. (She is indexed under the surname "Haylor" on Ancestry.) I found this by locating the baptism of Hilda Vera Mauran, on 9 Nov 1890, at St Augustine, Kilburn, daughter of William and Ellen Mauran, of 35 Oxford Road, and then looking up the address in 1891 (which involved me digging up the old National Archives street indexes; I don't know if there is a better alternative.) In 1911, Hilda Vera is living with her uncle Louis Joseph Mauran. Her father, on the other hand, seems to be in a workhouse in East London. Not sure what happened there - the identification may be wrong, but I don't think it is. I would say that the name of the Mauran family is fairly definitely "Mauran". That isn't to say it won't be indexed under all sorts of guises. I haven't yet found where William Mauran was in 1891. Best wishes Paul -- Paul Betteridge, Leafield, Oxfordshire [email protected]
