Find Ancestors

Hi Jean, re: Thomas George Povey The information you want isn't on Britishg origins, but with the amount of information you have have you can try the national archives website: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ if that fails a trip to the records office at Kew in London will probably yield results, it is where most of the army records are held. Rachel.

Hi simon, Sorry but not one of your Hall family have come up in the apprenticeship index. Is there anything else you want looking for - wills? Rachel.

Hi Sandra, Sorry nothing for Dorothy Letitia Breese at all. Rachel

Hi Sue, RACKHAMS Can you message me an email address, there are 198 Rackham marriages, most of which are Suffolk or Norfolk, so have copied them all to a word Document for you along with the George in the Militia. Rachel

Hi Michael, This is what i found that could relate to your John Dillon - I hope some of it is of use.

Rachel

Hello Rachel, can you see if you can find marriage record of John Dillon to Ann. in about 1818 i reckon, they had a daughter Phoebe b 1819 in Chelsea or Westminster area, On Phoebes wedding cert of 1837 in Hackney it says John Dillon's occupation was a soldier, so can you look and see if there's any military info on a John Dillon.On 1841 census Phoebe is married and her mother is living with her it shows her as being born in 1787 but there;s no sign of John. and it looks like Ann was born in Ireland, so perhaps John was too, and they may have married in Ireland. Hope you can make sense of this. Regards Michael

Hi Rachel, I would be very interested in the stuff you found for George Rackham,and the Rackhams in Suffolk.as the family did live there aswell. many thanks sue x
