1. [SOG] War memorials [1]
I had a great uncle who worked for the (original) Great Eastern Railway and who was killed on the Somme. There used to be an enormous memorial that occupied one wall of the ticket office at Liverpool Street station. When the station was redeveloped, the memorial disappeared. Does anyone know to where it was displaced?

2. Re: [SOG] 100 year birthday telegram [0.981312]
Some years ago my aunt turned 100 (she lived to 101 and had been the sickly one in the family). My cousin contacted the Department of Internal Affairs with aunt's birth certificate some weeks before the day. They replied that they would arrange the telegram with Buckingham Palace; and would she please phone them a few days before to confirm aunt was still alive. This produced telegrams from the Queen, Governor General, Prime Minister, local MP. That year one of NZ's oldest wine and spirit merchants com

4. Re: [SOG] Post chaise [0.981312]
Travelling "post" had two meanings: (1) taking seats in the mail-coaches; and (2) hiring a coach and horses from the postmaster. In relation to (2), it appears that the charge for a pair of horses in 1834 (I hope the difference of two years is not critical), lay in the region of twelve to eighteen pence a mile, with one or four horses being charged proportionately.

5. [SOG] Genealogists' Magazine [0.981312]
Due to delays in the distribution process, we regret that the December issue of Genealogists' Magazine is unlikely to reach UK members until towards the middle of January - and some overseas members a little after that. This issue also carries your renewal invitation for 2001. The delay will cause no problem with this. For members renewing by direct debit, the sum will be drawn in the usual way. For the minority still paying by cheque, please wait until you receive the magazine and then send your cheque
6. Re: [SOG] Your Census Needs You! [0.981312]
I was an enumerator in 1991 - but it was in a very rural village and so quite a pleasant task, mostly Cotswold cottages you wouldn't normally visit. The pay, even before tax, was very poor in relation to the effort and although we were actively encouraged to claim expenses, (almost pestered, like when I was a witness in a Magistrates' Court), it was not possible to make up for the inadequte remuneration. It entailed many visits, using inadequate maps - but as I travelled by bike, it was extemely good for

Barney Perhaps your gt grandmother died away from home as my gt grandmother did (aged 81) in 1924. Mine went on a voyage, during her sojourn there unexpectedly took ill and died shortly after my grandmother arrived to look after her. Consequently all the info lies in the foreign land she died in. Fortunately, my mother, who was 14 at the time, was an oral historian par excellence so I have the whole story: the mis-step on the footpath that caused the phlebitis that caused the gangrene that caused the amput

12. Re: [SOG] SHILCOCK - SILCOCK connections- name changes [0.981312]
There must be more than 50 variants of the name Palliser, almost more variants than there are people bearing the name. I have even seen them entered as Talliser (on the IGI). A century ago, Palliser and Pallister were almost interchangeable. I have seen this same surname spelled 3 different ways within the same document. When one batch went to London, they turn up in the register as Pallyshaw or Pallysoo, even Pullyson. It depends on who is writing it down phonetically, and whether the person could spell th

15. [SOG] National Inventory of War Memorials [0.981312]
There is a letter in our local paper today (Leighton Buzzard Observer) asking for assistance in tracing war memorials for a national inventory being prepared by the Imperial War Museum. They reckon that they have the more obvious ones in High Streets, Churches and graveyards but would like to know about any that may be tucked away in factories, banks, schools chapels &c. If anyone on the list knows of such a memorial, they could help to complete a resource which will doubtless be of use to genealogi

Shirley, Sorry for the delay in replying but herewith (for England and Wales). If you know the Registration District write to the Superintendent Registrar of that RD - if you know the details fairly well it will cost you GBP6-50 per certificate. If you want to follow this route I could help you with addresses if you need it - I suggest by e-mail off list. A more expensive method, but possibly more practical - particularly if you want some from more than one District - is to contact either The Office of

A few years ago I prepared a lecture on demography for genealogists which I gave at the Society. Some statistics I obtained may help the discussion of the question: >I have found that there are about 3000 births, 2000 marriages and 2000 deaths. Can anyone tell me if these ratios are typical?< The Registrar General's report for 1853 (p ii) tells us that to 1000 persons living there were 9 Marriages, 18 persons married, 33 Births, 23 Deaths. (I have rounded the detailed figures). The report also gives a fig
