I have succumbed and taken out a 3-month sub.

I might live to regret this(!!), but if anybody wants a lookup let me know. If you look at the site you can see what is available - it is far from exhaustive, but for selected electoral registers it's good as you can search by name as well as address. I have even found my parents 1960!

I am pretty new to this site so no guarantees!

Hi Jan

Thank you for the offer of a lookup.

Could you check out Geo Edwin Searle Crews please?

There is defo something for him, probably at a workhouse.

Might take a punt on a sub if looks useful.

Thank you

Andy

No Problem Andrew, but having a few difficulties with site at the mo.
What years are you looking for, or just anything?
Jan

Right, got it. Comes under Kelly's directory for West Bromwich (Staffs) 1936. You are right - it says:

'Crews Geo. Edwin Searle, master of the institution, Hallam St. TN004'

Jan

Hi Jan

Thank you for the info. Ties in nicely with what else I know of his movements. Interesting its still being referred to as an institution when the workhouse system stopped in 1930 and became a hospital.

Jan remind me to tell you off on Friday :-D :-D :-D

I'm going to have to put this on my list of wants in the new year.

Will be my incentive to sort out this house.

No sign of Mr L I take it?

Tell me off for ... ??? But I am sure you will let me know Fri!
Nope, not a sign of Harry.
Jan

Introducing me to something else I WANT.

Bad girl ;-)

Sheila, this is the wrong place to ask this - you need to start another thread on the find ancestors board..
When you do, put all the info from the marriage cert - her father's name and occupation, address if it's there, names of witnesses, spouse.
Not on here though!
Jan

Hi Sheila.
Not upset in the slightest, just not sure I can use that site to help.
Start a new thread, put everything you have and what you wish to find out (it's not entirely clear from what you have put), and I am sure people will help. Including me, if I can.
If you could delete all postings on here that would be good.
