I have been searching for the baptism of Joshua Nurse/Nourse. His obit in a Canadian newspaper gives his birth place as South Craig, Norfolk, which I am assuming is South Creake. His date of birth is 22 April 1824, I realise he could have been baptised later, so didn’t make this year a cut off point. I have searched on Ancestry, Find my Past, Family Search and NORS, but have not found anything. I don’t seem to be able to browse Norfolk parish records on family search, has this facility gone? Also does anyone know if any South Creake parish records are missing? Many thanks Pam C

Hi Barbara The pin was made for the British Legion and has sold out Some are being sold on the likes of ebay, some at over ten times their cost (whether any of that goes to the BL is unknown) The British Legion has several other commemorative items which may be of interest , including another version of a poppy brooch <http://www.britishlegion.org.uk/remembrance/ww1-centenary/somme-100/> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 02/07/2016 00:48, Barbara via wrote: > Have not posted for a long time.

I have replied directly to Barbara because I was quoting (non-genealogical) commercial sites and don't want to get myself banned. :) If anyone else wants to know the answer(s), then search for 'Battle of the Somme commemorative lapel badge'.

Hi I am writing to provide an update on the 1891 census project. One further piece has been uploaded to the on line database and is now searchable for free on the main Freecen site at http://www.freecen.org.uk This is Piece RG12/1570 Kings Lynn which covers the parishes of North Lynn, South Lynn, St Margaret , West Lynn This means that there are now 378,393 (87.7%) 1891 Norfolk census records available to search free on line. Many thanks to all the volunteers who have kindly given up their free time to assist with the project without their help this information would not be available. Please see the main Freecen site or my website (see my signature for a link) for details of which pieces are on line. Finally don’t forget that a complete transcription for the Norfolk 1861 and 1871 census is available on the FreeCen site.

Found this but only any good as a lead to newspaper reports as there are few details.

Hi Rosa Fisher was my 2 x cousin twice removed. I have her marrying Arthur H Blowers in 1919 or am I mistaken? A Rosa Blowers appears on the GRO indexes as deceased in 1924 in the Ipswich district.

I suspect the best way forward would be to obtain the marriage certificate You can minimise the chance of a wrong certificate by ordering with no GRO reference which allows checking points to be added, such as her fathers name, if they find a match you get the cert, if not you get a refund There are no deaths registered during the first war years for a lady of that name and approx age In WW2 the civilians who died during the bombing should be on the CWGC It sounds like you don't have the date of birth of Rosa to allow the 1939 NIR to be checked further Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 29/06/2016 17:14, DavidTennant wrote: > Nivard > She appears on the 1891 census as Rosa age 3months and born at Paston > My mother, her sister, was born 1895 at Edingthorpe so who knows? > 1901 census father is listed on the Scarborough Hospital return.

I understand that from 29th June until 6th July 2016, over 1 billion UK, US and Irish records will be completely free to search and explore on Findmypast.

It looks as though the only train crash in the London area in 1940 was at Wembley and although there were 11 fatalities none of the dead were Carke and/or Rose/Rosa.

Or even Edingthorpe ;-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > In 1911 she is aged 20 born Edington (nr Paston)

Hi David Her birth was registered as Rosa in the March qtr of 1891 registered Smallburgh In 1891 she is Rosa, with family aged 3 months In 1901 with mother (no father at home) as Rose aged 10 In 1911 she is aged 20 born Edington (nr Paston) she is a domestic servant with a HARPER household So at no time is she a Rose or Rosa A , so what makes you believe the 1912 marriage is her? Do you have a birthdate for her as thats the best way to check the 1939 National Identity Register Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 29/06/2016 15:10, DavidTennant via wrote: > Renewing my search for one of my aunts Rose or sometimes Rosa Fisher > born Paston 1891 daughter of Albert Herbert Fisher and Harriet nee Rowe > Appears on 1901 census in Scarborough > 1911 census in Norwich (no further details readily available) > Marries a Henry W Clarke June 1912 in Norwich > A Henry W Clarke of about the right age , 28, dies in 1916 in Kings Lynn. > No offspring found. > Have scoured FreeBMD for a remarriage or death.

Rose Fisher aged 20 born Edingthorpe was a servant to Richard Harper in Norwich in 1911. Edingthorpe does not look too far from Paston on my map. Could she be the one?

Nivard She appears on the 1891 census as Rosa age 3months and born at Paston My mother, her sister, was born 1895 at Edingthorpe so who knows? 1901 census father is listed on the Scarborough Hospital return. A patient? It's sometime since I concluded the marriage to Clarke was hers., so I've forgotten the reasoning. You are right to raise doubts. Further to the train crash my understanding was that it was during WW1. I too have searched the fatalities in WW1 train crashes with no success. A death, if it was her, in Hackney in 1940 could have been as a result of the blitz perhaps? A bit of background The Fishers moved to Scarborough c 1899 leaving my Mother with an aunt in Suffield. She, a person of her time, never mentioned Rose(a). The family moved from Scarborough to Canada in 1912 leaving Rose and another older sister who was getting married in UK. Rose obviously moved back to Norfolk.
