PLEASE help!! I am researching this man and his father for someone. In the 1861 census he was 12 his mother and father were;

Charles H Marchant 38 Limehouse
Eliza H Marchant 39 Southwark

William H Marchant I THINK he was born Rotherhithe 12

Anne E R Marchant Born Rotherhithe 8

Horatio G Marchant Born Wapping 60

In the 1871 census William H disappears and I can't find him ANYWHERE! There are such a lot of William H or just William I can't separate them from one from another!

Please could ANYONE help as I am getting paid for doing this tree for the person PLEASE.. Just now I am going a bit mad with this one!!



:-S :-S :-S :-( :-( :-( :-| :-| :-|

I don't think it's right for anyone here to help a paid researcher. It's against the rules to use our subscriptions for renumeration.

If you've already ruled out the above, consider that he may have been transcribed as mErchant - I've a lot of mArchants in my family.

Margee - seen your post and I tend to agree. If Diane is doing it as a favour charging only the cost of the certs, then fair enough

It does seem strange to ask for help when you are being paid.

They are paying for your expertise. Perhaps you should do a cut-price offer?

But you have stated about the payment, you could just have kept quiet about it, so it is for all to decide for themselves.

I hope Diane is doing a favour for someone.

Borough: Tower Hamlets
Father Name: Charles Marchant, painter

Charles Barrett and Grace Rebecca Hooper were witnesses.


EDIT Minor with consent not married with comment.

Diane's exact words were "I'm being paid for doing this tree" not that "I'm charging for the certificates".

As you say, patchem, she should have just kept quiet about being paid. I won't help.

sorry .....................


asking members who do searches for nothing, using their own money for subscriptions to other sites, when you yourself are being paid is NOT ON



and I do believe it might be against the T&C's of this site.



we help willingly ..................... but not for paid researchers.

I didn't want to get paid as it is for a friend of mine but they insisted on paying me. They only pay for certificates.

To me that IS getting paid what do you think please?

Thank you for finding it for me anyway.

Diane

Diane ........


that is not getting paid, in the sense that we understand it.


Getting paid for certificates is reimbursement of what you have spent.

That's fine



Getting paid is when you get paid a per diem, or per hour, or for amount of time spent on doing the research, plus costs of travel, etc etc


ie ................. a professional working for pay.



We often help those getting reimbursement ................... in fact, I think a lot of helpers have received reimbursement from friends.



We do not help professionals getting paid for their time.





I'm sorry for the misunderstanding ................ and the rough ride that you have had.


Forgive us!

Sorry, I don't buy it. Diane said originally that she was being paid for doing the tree but changed her tune when it was suggested that it was OK if she was just being reimbursed for certificates.

Diane, just out of curiosity, how many certificates have you bought, from where and how much did you pay for them?
