Please excuse my ignorance, my history took a whisk about the world--French, English, Russian American and Canadian history, so I really cannot remember if there was a war in England between 1830 and 1870? A relative says that A gr.gr.gr grandad was a private soldier at that era. Can someone help? Heather Canada

Hello folks and fellow listers, I'm trying to trace a Betsey Chick in the Ilminster area. She was aged 18 when she married Robert Fowler in the church of St John and All Saints in Kingstone May 17 1881. I would like to find either of her parents and names of witnesses of the marriage if possible. I know there are a number of CHICK families in the area and would really like to find some links. Thanks in anticipation Sally in N.Z

Thank you to those listers who provided me with information on the Hulk "Leviathan." I have several avenues that I can now follow up. It's great to know who our ancestors were but it is also important to know something of their circumstances. The HOW, WHERE, WHEN and WHY have had me searching for more than 20 years. Thanks to you all. Val from Bundaberg, Qld., Oz.

Hi Listers I am new to this list and I am posting my interest in the surname WOODLEY in the LANDPORT area for 1860's. Lucille

Hi listers With regards to the postings on UK registration practices past and present, I can recommend an excellent website. The owner of the site is a registrar and I have found it extremely helpful in the past. Well worth a look! http://www.dixons.clara.co.uk/Certificates/indexbd.htm Best wishes Jo Wardman

Hi Graham 1 Yes, the details given regarding the birth were those for the situation as it existed in March 1884, so they appear correct, but see 2 below. 2 No. The registrar can only fill in the name of the father if the father is present at the time of registering of the birth, which would appear not to be the case. This doesn't imply anything. 3 The practice or custom of including the father's name where he wasn't married to the mother has been continued so she would have been Evelina Annie Chaffey WILKINS at the time of the birth. So the registrar has gone according to the book as far as I can see ie he has recorded the information as it stood at the time of the birth, but has recorded the mother's details as they were at the time she reported them. I bet that lot made him sit up and think :-)) It is not unusual to find a child who has been registered under one name called something different either at the baptism or at a later date and the parents are allowed a year in which to report the change of name as recorded in Column 2 of the birth certificate, in which case column 10 of the birth certificate should be completed. However, in my experience this change is invariably not reported and the child continues to be registered under one name, but is known by another. I have a similar problem with my grandmother, born in 1879 and it took ages to find her: she was married and buried under different names to those with which she was registered. This isn't illegal as long as its not done for fraudulent purposes ie you can call your self what you want. The problem arises when you need to register yourself for a something which requires your birth certificate, when you may need to change your name by deed poll, but a birth certificate isn't required for a marriage so you can call yourself what you like. I hope thats a little clearer than mud :-)) Regards Paul Portland On Sun, 8 Apr 2001 18:53:02 +0100, you wrote: >My grandmother was born in March 1884.

I would suppose that at the time of birth she would have been known as Evelina Annie Chaffey Wilkins and over time the names got transposed to Evelina Annie Wilkins Chaffey or even Annie Evelina etc. With as many names as that I can see several versions appearing in different recods. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "graham jones" <grahamjones@madasafish.com> To: WESSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WSX] Extraordinary ?
