2. Cemeteries Question [1]
I'm just wondering about something, when they buried people back in the 1700s or so, did they often use headstones? I know the town of which some of my ancient ancestors were buried, but I'd really like to know if there was an actual cemetery with marked plots for that, or if it just confines to an area without any definite markings of who's there. The place of which I require this information, is Yoxall, Staffs. The church is St. Peter's. I've never even been to England, or that area, so I don't know wha

According to Jowett's Railway Atlas, Isham & Burton Latimer was a station on the Midland Railway's main line. Going north, the line passed Kettering Junction, where the Huntingdon line joined, then Cransley Branch junction for Loddington sidings, then Kettering itself. Further on, the line continued to Market Harbor
4. WWI Burnt Records Files [1]
I've read that there exists something called the Burnt Records files referring to those WWI files that were bombed in 1940 but rescued, despite being damaged. According to the list of what's been completed, the letter U is finished, but the question I have, is are these files on microfilm, are they organised in alphabetical order, or what? The first thing I want to find out is whether or not the person I'm researching was in WWI, the man died in 1916, and ther'es no one alive who knows anything about him..

I suppose they could count up to 100, but my G-g-grandfather wasn't very good at it; he got more than 10 yrs older at each census. Age at death given as 82, whereas I make it 78 from the earlier censi (not counting the 1841 rounded down one). -- Hedley Hunnisett of Wigston Magna,
10. Re: Devonshire:where are these places? [1]
A correction to my previous post: I quoted Bartholomew's Gazetteer and said that Pillhead was in Bideford municipal borough. This may well be correct but the Ordnance Survey map shows Pillhead about a mile east of Bideford. A mile further east is Little Pillhead, a farm or hamlet. Interestingly it is almost midway between Westleigh and Alverdiscott, both places which have featured in this thread. (This is the Westleigh about two miles north of Bideford on the Barnstaple road) -- Harry Dodsworth Ottaw
11. Re: William BAWDEN, HM Trawler "Strymon" [1]
Trawlers were used in both World Wars in many roles. Minesweeping was perhaps the best known. They were also used as boom handling vessels, rescue ships, convoy escorts etc; any place a small ship was useful. A trimmer moved coal from the bunkers to the fireman (known as a Stoker if this was a completely naval ship). In doing so, he trimmed the ship by taking coal from bunkers to keep the ship on an even keel. -- Harry Dodsworth Ottawa Ontario Canada af877@freenet.carleton.ca - -----------------------

13. Re: Annie WELBURN [1]
Can't help at the moment I'm afraid, but do keep in touch. My husband's name is WELBOURN. His grandfather was Frederick, born in the Sheffield area in 1911. Could easily be related to Annie. Sadly, Frederick died in 1943, and there are no family records regarding his parents.

17. Re: Newcomer requires assistance and / or advice [1]
Others have mentioned the census as a good tool to reconstruct families. Don't forget to research all available census records for the family. Civil vital statistics records should show all the children of a couple. This is easiest to do if you have records kept and indexed locally. Church records of baptisms, marriages, and burials will also show all the children, but you typically need to know the parish. Wills and newspaper obituaries generally show all surviving children, and may refer to deceased
