Hi Margaret, Sorry no apprenticeship for Samuel grayston is coming up. Kind regards, Rachel

Thanks Rachel ...can i ask if you can find Abraham Lord he served an apprenticeship [ref family bible] he was born in Canterbury in1786 and died in Leicester in 1865 cheers Lynn

Hi Rachel, Thanks for the offer. I have my fathers army number, and i believe he was in the Kings Own Light Infantry Liverpool, i do know he served in Burma. His army number was 4458377. His name was Thomas George Povey b Sept 1920. Is it possible to find anything out about his army life? If not, do you know anywhere i can get info? Thanks for your time Regards Jean

Thanks for the Sholl information, I think it is one of mine who I didn't have listed. Thanks

thankyou for looking Rachel Margaret x

Hi Rachel Would you please look up for me marriage of Dorothy Letitia Breese (I think to Richard or Dick Smith) Wandsworth or Wantage, Berkshire as they lived there on a farm after marriage. It would be 1940 to 45. Thanks Sandra

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

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

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 Sandra, Sorry nothing for Dorothy Letitia Breese at all. 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 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 Margaret, re: BEECHER. Your Alfred was not born in the dates available for the apprenticeship records. I am sorry that I did not make the dates available in my original post. I have now updated the original post and the dates available are up to 1850 for London apprenticeships 1710 - 1771 for Great Britian apprenticeships. There were other Beechers coming up in London about 9 but they were in the 1600's and 1700's. Kind regards, Rachel

Hi Lynn, Sorry nothing coming up for Abraham Lord. Rachel

Hi Elizabeth, British origins does not have the 1901 census, you need someone with an ancestry.com access to look that one up for you. Sorry I could help. Rachel

Hi Rachel Thanks for looking. I can't think of anything else at the moment but thanks for the offer. Simon

Hi, could you have a look for a marriage between William Brock born in surrey area in abt 1785 (area would be Great Bookham, Little Bookham, Cobham area) to Patience ??? born abt the same time. thanks Karen

Hi Rachel. Can you have a look for any reference to a marriage between Thomas Hunt & Mary Ferry between 1865 & 1880 please? They are both from Hampshire but apart from that I can't find anything about them.

Re: Thomas George Povey Thanks for looking Rachel, and thanks for the Web Address too. Regards Jean
