3. Re: [SoG] Stuck! [1]
Thank you Hugh. I've just had a thought..........as the civil registrations started in 1837, I could try a lateral search for Henry CARTER born c1839 (also supposed to be born in Cheltenham). As I've not seen an English Birth Certificate of around that date, could you let me know how much detail they contain in relation to the actual birth place? I'm sure it will prove to be the same location as Ernest Carter and his other siblings. I wonder how large those Parish towns surrounding Cheltenham were in the

5. [SoG] Stuck! [1]
I'm researching biographical information on Ernest CARTER (surgeon/dentist) for his recently heritage listed property SHRUBLANDS, in Melbourne Australia. I've been unable to find his birth details. Unfortunately Carter died whilst visiting London in 1889 and it has therefore been a laborious journey! All available documents show that he was born in Cheltenham along with some of his siblings. However, the St Mary's Parish records (the only Parish in Cheltenham for that period) have drawn a blank. The IGI

7. Re: [SoG] 1911 Census [1]
In self-defence, can I point out that my comment on the UK 1911 census being freely available for 32 counties was a light-hearted dig at those people who equate GB with the UK! In 1911, all of Ireland was within the UK - and the people who have written to me asking where the 1911 census is available have but to go to the National Archive in Bishop Street in Dublin to find it. One case of the Irish leading the way (and without the help of Qineptiq, too!) Hector

9. [SoG] Curious Forenames [1]
Hi, As we all know,there are many weird transcriptions of names. My 'favourite' is a poor girl named Prior in the 1881 Census. I would guess that her forename was either Virginia or more probably Regina. The transcriber obviously had problems reading the entry and I leave you all to work out what name this poor girl has been landed with for all time. Brian Prior

yes I reread your stuff I was born in Sutton Coldfield but I might say Birmingham to people who don't know that small town.

> ...technical difficulties in presenting and reproducing slides as > audio files... unless of course david knows better... the point I was making - which it seems i will have to explain - is that /just/ an audio recording is probably only going to be half the story. If the lecturer is going to use visual material, then he's going to refer to said material - and a recording of him doing so, without having the visual material in front of you, is about as much use as the proverbial chocolate teapot! a

Sorry I've nodded off a bit about this subject but in one of the first messages I read someone mentioned copying video tapes and the cost or time consuming doing it yourself. Just thought if anyone is planning a "Family Get Together/Reunion" and wants to video it and get many copies made. I used to use a very helpful and reasonably priced shop in Castlenau, Barnes (near Hammersmith Bridge)called Globe Video Services who could put old projector film onto video, Coverting US system (NTSC) videos to uk(PAL),

Hi all, I am trying to find any information about the following family please? Do you have a connection with any of these? Elizabeth Gibbs born c 1803 daughter of John a shoemaker. Elizabeth married a Smith before 1820. Then she had children from 1820 to 1842 with a John Carne all baptised St Mary's Lambeth. They did not get married until 1843 at St Johns Waterloo. Now for the Bristol connection, Elizabeth died 14-7-1846 at the General Hospital Redcliff Bristol. Was the Gibbs family from Bristol? Who was

20. Re: [SoG] FORMYAH [1]
My guess would be possibly for the town of Formia in Italy, as in Venetia for Venice and Florence (sometimes) for Florence, similar to today's parents choosing Paris or Brooklyn. I have in one tree a Florence who married in Cranbrook, Kent in 1568. Maybe Formia had some classical or literary significance. I stopped to Google this and found the tomb of Cicero is in Formia. It is an ancient spot and no doubt there are other associations. Beth
