I have been forwarded this website link this evening, from the Larmor Plage website: http://larmor-plage-blog-citoyen.com:80/news/larmor-plage-inauguration-stele-souvenir-ernest-russel-lyon There are some excellent images of the Ceremony of 8th November here to add to those already posted. And than...

David, According to the Index, she was born in Torphichen. Why would you think that Jessie might be Isabella ? Is this a weird diminutive I'm not aware of ? Cath Cath I'm not suggesting that Isabella is Jessie, just highlighting an interesting coincidence in terms of surname, place, and age. That w...

"Placenta praevia" doesn't always result in the death of the child. A normal vaginal birth is possible when the condition is partial. If it's total, then a Caesarean is possible. The full CoD is shown as "Placenta praevia anaemia". What does the 1912 birth record show as the place of birth? There is...

Sorry if this is a very basic question but this is the first time I've seen this on a certificate :why did the births have t...

I've just passed my postgraduate certificate in Genealogical Studies at the University of Strathclyde! :) So now I am as happy as the proverbial pig - it was hard work...! lol :) (Officially it means I can now spell 'genealogy' without having to resort to the use of a dictionary any more...!) I'll ...
