Cullompton is on the A38 SW of Taunton and is in Devon. There is no
Collompston.
Holford is on the northeastern slopes of the Quantocks on the A39.
Forty years ago it had a rather nice youth hostel

This sometimes also worked the other way round - my late mother-in-law's ancestors
came from the fishing community in St Andrews, and when one of them married "out"
this was considered shameful by the fisherfolk, and they wouldn't speak to her.
Perhaps they felt she was being disloyal.

Hello everybody,
I am trying to find out about Agnes Postlethwaite who
was not married when see gave birth to a baby girl
(Florence my mother) in 1908 at 4, Wordsworth Square, Morley.
She gave Florence away, who was brought up in
Rotherham.
Agnes Postlethwaite may also have lived at Blackpool.
14 years later I believe she tried to get Florence back
as she was about to get married.
This is all I know about her so any information would be appreciated.

I don't know of an all-UK list of parishes on the internet but I see that one
of your areas of interest is Cheshire. I can recommend the FHS of Cheshire's
list of parishes in the county which you will find at:
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/blangston/genuki/chspars/
It is also linked to the Cheshire section of my web site where you may find

Thought I knew the answer, but find that I do not, so hopefully,

If a couple (USA citizens) have a child b while visiting in England
(do not know 'where') - where/how would this b be registered ??????
I have been trying to find such a b registration in Eng. with no results.
Have recently been told that *possibly* it would have been registered
with US Embassy in London - does this make sense & are records
available there & how could they be accessed ?? OR if registered there,
initially, would they be transferred to USA & where would they be available
in USA??? Have written to the National Center for Health Statistics in
USA with no results & no references, from them, as to where else to
look. Two, very kind, gentlemen have looked in GRO also SRO & OPR.
A lady rooter has looked @ IGI etc. and nothing has been found. I do
not have acces to FHC so cannot search there for myself - I'm Stuck !!
This b occured in 1842 in England.
Many questions, I realize, but am in a 'real' quandry & need some
ideas.
Thank you, in advance, for any help forthcoming.

No, this was just a smart juror managing an extra day's pay at the State
of California's expense. :) Christmas in the Orthodox church is also
December 25th, and the 7th of January is the Feast of St. John the
Baptist in their hagiography.
There seems to be some confusion about the date changes in the different
calendars. Let me try to be definitive (critics sharpen your pencils...)
Modern European-based calendars began with the Romans in 753 B.C. but by
46 B.C. they had shifted so far from astronomical time that Julius
Caesar decided to reform the calendar - hence the Julian Calendar. The
aim of this was that the year should begin on March 25th which should
coincide with the vernal equinox. To correct for the 365 and a quarter
day precession of the earth in its orbits around the sun, a leap year
was introduced every 4th year by having a 29th February that year in the
Julian Calendar.
However, Julian measurements lacked the necessary precision, and by the
middle of the 16th century the vernal equinox was occurring 10 days too
early. Pope Gregory XIII defined a new calendar in which these 10 days
would be made up by having a one-off correction of a year that was 10
days short, and he decided that leap years would take place every 4
years unless the year was exactly divisible by 400. This means that in
the Gregorian Calendar the years 1600, 2000 and 2400 are *not* leap
years. The Gregorian Calendar was introduced in October of that year in
Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. Friday October 5th was followed by
Saturday October 15th. Prussia, Switzerland, Holland, Flanders and
German Catholics followed on in 1583, Poland in 1586 and Hungary in
1587. German Protestants stuck with the Julian Calendar which must have
been very confusing for them and their neighbours.
Because 1700 was going to be a leap year in the Julian Calendar but not
in the Gregorian, the German Protestants decided to come in line that
year with their Catholic neighbours, as did the Danes. With the death of
Queen Anne in 1714 Great Britain acquired German Protestant rulers who
must have been even more confused that the calendar was different back
home in Hannover. By now the difference between Julian and Gregorian was
11 days (thanks to 1700). In 1752 Great Britain and her colonies
switched to the Gregorian calendar with Wednesday September 2nd being
followed by Thursday September 14th 1752. 1752 was also the last year in
which the New Year began on March 25th and in 1753 it began on January
1st for the first time in Britain.
Then as now the British public was a little credulous. Agitators
convinced many that these changes would shorten their lives by 11 days -
hence the riots. Nowadays we just think that the Sinclair C5 is a good
mode of transport and the single European currency is the work of the
devil. :)
None of these changes will make Christmas day appear on 7th January
unless you stick with the Julian calendar until after 1800 when there
was a 12 day difference between them. If Rod's document was from the
19th century and related to places such as China, Japan, Eastern Europe,
Greece or Russia, then indeed Christmas in those places took place on
their December 25th that was the same day as January 7th in the rest of
Europe. After 1900 this would have been January 8th. The Greeks were the
last hold-outs and finally adopted the Gregorian calendar in 1923. Since
then we have had the occasional leap second to keep the horologists
busy, otherwise all has been quiet on the calendar front. Unless you are
Jewish or Indian of course. :)

There were several children including James II, Margaret who married
prince Louis later King Louis IX of France, Isabella married Francis
I of Brittany and Eleanor married Sigismund C of Tyrol.
I do recognise the name Ninian Stewart. One of that name was a
customs officer and lived in Grobsness, Delting parish, Shetland. He
married 19 April 1831 Elizabeth Scott Adie from Voe. They had one son
Robert born 12 December 1832. She married secondly Robert Mackay.
No-one has ever been able to find out who this Ninian was.
I did notice, in the magazine of the Scottish National Trust a couple
of years ago, that the Queen, I think it was, had visited one of
their properties and was entertained by Ninian Stewart who was
descended from the owners, or still lived in, the house. I forget
whether or not he had a title, I'm afraid.
St Ninian was an important Scottish saint, so there may be several
families using the forename without being related.
Alan
PS The only Scottish racing driver that I have heard of called
Stewart was Jackie Stewart who has recently returned as a team
manager. Was there another called Ninian Stewart?

I'm not aware of any internet sites (other than Saga) that will be of use.
Bear in mind that us "oldies" are the generation least likely to have access to
the internet anyway. You could try:
1. Teletext (Channel 4) Page 682 - Service Pals. A message here is free, but
very popular and there is currently a three month backlog. Full details of
how to submit a request are included in the sub-pages.
2. "Yours" magazine (available in any newsagent) - very popular with the 60+
age-group and has extensive coverage of folks trying to contact old forces
colleagues from WW2 and later.
3. Make a short post here which includes the name - if it's not too common
someone may be able to help.
