Subject: Ayliffe

I am looking for any assistance from researchers in England who might be
further along in their search than I.

I have records of ancestors coming through Canada and settling in Michigan
in the mid-1800's, but I can't determine which ship or what part of England
they emigrated from. Any help from an Ayliffe who has tracked an ancestor
leaving for Canada or U.S. would be greatly appreciated...

No you're not mistaken, but it seems no matter how many times we try to
explain to people the benefits of posting to the *.surnames groups they
still seem to think they will get a better hit rate by posting where
their messages are unwelcome.

Cornwall?
- maybe he was a Cornish tin miner before he left this country?
- or, at least, he may have been descended from a tin miner?

Just a stab,
Malcolm.

Subject: URL for locating British towns

I've seen several messages in GENUKI digests asking for the location
of places in the UK. I've just discovered this site where you can
type in a street(in Greater London), full postcode or town / village name
and you'll get a road map showing its location.

The URL is http://www.streetmap.co.uk

The maps are very slow to load in.

Subject: TYE, TIE, TIGHE

I am researching the surname TYE from Britian, also variations TY, TIE,
TINGHE.
I presently have a database of this surname of over 7,000 entries from
throughout the world, but mainly Australian and England.

All information gratefully receive and freely given.

Or you could just look up the map reference of a town/village/city on the
Ordnance Survey page :-

http://www.campus.bt.com/CampusWorld/cgi-bin-public/OSGazetteer.cgi

No maps online but it does tell you which Landranger series to buy and
it's a lot faster if you just want the location/county/whatever.

TINER/TYNER doesn't seem to have been that common a name. I ran a search
through all the 2% sample of the 1851 census (for details of this
software see my web page at the URL in the signature). Only one TYNER
was shown, a Mary TYNER aged 62 with the occupation of Errand woman,
living with her sister and brother-in-law (an agricultural labourer) in
Doddington, Northamptonshire. She was born there also.

Subject: DEATH INDEXES
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Whilst doing routine checking on GRO indexes of deaths (happily up to the
1900s for one family!) it occurred to me that there were hardly any deaths
of 'young men' in the 1914-1918 period, yet there were thousands of
deaths during the war, so.....

Where does one find an index of deaths that took place 'overseas' during
WWI (and would one find WWII deaths in the same place?)? If a man of
obvious military age has his death recorded on the GRO indexes does
that mean he wasn't a soldier, or simply that he died in England (perhaps
having been released from military service for whatever reason)?

Any ideas welcomed!

TIA
Lesley ()
