Find Ancestors

I have some spare credits on www(.)nationalarchivist(.)com This site is free to search but you have to pay to view images. If you can narrow down your search to a couple of potential images or so, I would be happy to download the image and send to you (I may as well use up the credits - had to buy 30 but only wanted one lookup). The archives on the site include divorce/matrimonial index 1858-1903, death duty registers index 1796-1903, Births/Marriages/Deaths at sea 1854-1890.

Hello Richard...could you find a marriage between Robert Wallace and Eliza Ann ? in Spalding, Lincs between 1885-1891? Thankyou

Hi Richard, Thanks for the offer. Please could you look for John Tyrrell or Turrell lost at sea during a storm off the East coast on May 28th 1860. I'm not sure how long they waited to declare a death at sea. TIA, Gwynne

Gwynneth I had a look, but there were no Turrell/Tyrrell listed in 1860. The closest were: R Tyrell 1872-1883 G Turrell 1883-1887 B Tyrrell 1883-1887 W Tyrrell 1883-1887 (2 listed) Sheila - this archive lists only those events that happened at sea. Sorry.

thanks Richard

Hi Richard, can you find a death for a William Poole age 45 in 1890 in Edmonton thank you Margaret

Can you find the marriage or death of John Thomas Hearn, b.Bedford 1881. I know he married and worked at Wadenhoe Manor Northants with his wife, retired to Cranford Northants and ended his days at St. Marys -hospital I think- in Kettering Northants. Been searching for a long long time. Thanks Mary Brooke

All: The site is free to search. Please first search to see if any likely documents are available for the person you are looking for (registration is required for this, but this is free). Then, if you find something of interest, I can download the image for you.

Hi Richard Thanks for the offer, could you please look to see if there is a JOHN HORWELL/HARWELL c1844 LUDGVAN CORNWALL on there please looking for marriage (partner unknown) or death, tring to connect him to WILLIAM HARWELL 1864 LUDGVAN CORNWALL, think they are father and son Thanks very much Jan

Hi Richard, Thanks very much for looking, I'd heard the lists weren't complete but was hoping! Gwynne

Marie-Anne : no Tutcher listed - sorry. Janette : No Horwell/Harwell listed - sorry

Hi Richard Many thanks for your kind offer. Please could you look up a passport application in the name of WILLIAM CLARK from Brigg or Glanford Brigg, Lincs. I'm not sure when he went abroard but I tried to look under 1860 and it came up with 5 applications but don't know if that's the right date. I know he went to Italy because he did a sculpture of the dying gladiator from the original which he'd seen in the Vatican city, Rome. Much appreciated Jenny

Please could you look up Joshua Litherland 1882/3 application for passports Thank you Joan

Thanks for looking Richard Jan

Joan Sorry but there were no Litherland's listed for 1882 or 1883.

Hello Richard: looking for marriage between ISABELLA REID and JAMES CLIFFORD maybe around 1830-1855. Hope that helps, have no other info. May have been in Lancashire but not sure. I know they had a daughter, Isabella born May 16, 1855 and lived in Toxteth Park, W.Derby at the time. Thanks for any help. Betty.

Jennifer There are several William Clark's listed for 1860. Unfortunately the list doesn't show their place of residence, so I'm not sure how one can tell which (if any) is the correct William Clark. Anyway, I've downloaded the images so send me your email address and I'll forward them on. Note: the images are in djvu format (the same as on 1837online). You therefore need the djvu program to view them, this is available for free if you don't already have it. Richard

Betty The site in question is for bmd at sea, passport applications, wills and divorce procedings only, and even then the dates are quite limited. Sorry but I can't do general bmd lookups. Richard

Hi Richard. Thank you for the kind offer. Would you possibly be able to look for a Marriage for Grace Hogsdon (maybe Hogsden), born Poplar in 1900, Please. She Married an Alfred (maybe Arthur) Richard Parkes in about 1920ish. Or if she is on the Death Reg' Any help with this brickwall (1 of many at the moment) would be very appreciated. Many many thanks Angie.

Angela The site in question is for bmd AT SEA, passport applications, wills and divorce procedings only, and even then the dates are quite limited. Sorry but I can't do general bmd lookups. Richard
