Abbreviations used mainly in Family History page:-
a: about. (In other pages a: after date)
b: born. (In other pages b: before date)
bb: born before
bm: baptism. (In images)
bc born about
c: christened, baptised. (In other pages c: circa/about/approx. date)
m: married.
d: died.
TBC: To be confirmed as our ancestor
* after a name means it is not proved as correct
ka: known as. ..... aka: also known as.
e.g.: for example. ..... vv: vice versa
cf: Croker father side. ..... cm: Croker mother side.
gf: Goddard father side. ..... gm: Goddard mother side.
D of: daughter of. ..... S of: son of.
C1: child one of.
h of QW: husband of QW Surname.
w of ZX: wife of ZX Surname.
hissurname]: wife maiden name is unknown.
hersurname}: husband surname unknown.

Names may be spelled differently: e.g. LIDDELL / LIDDLE: LEARMONT / LA/ERMENT etc.
or incorrectly: e.g. GRISE for GRIX: DAVY (or even LACEY!) for DAVEY etc.

Dates of Occupations are as at source date: e.g. as on Marriage document or childs Birth document.

County and London boundaries and definitions have changed since the 18th. and 19th. centuries.

Places of Birth or Christening from various IGI sources and Censuses may not be accurate!
We have discovered that people often put the nearest town to their birth place (if a small country village), and therefore the same person may appear to come from two places. This has occured in the Appledore and Northam areas.
Sometimes they record the place where they were living (this has occured in the London Boroughs).
Places of Birth and Marriages from FreeBMD are the Registration Districts.

Remember that mistakes are made and the data you collect from ANY web source, including family sites and links, or Census data, could contain errors: including this one!
We have found this out on several family members because we have source or copies of source documents.

Please do not copy the information on our web sites without checking first.
We are happy to correspond on any query, and check the data for updates before you use it.

We always state the data sources and if any errors are spotted we request that you let us know.
I (R) think that everyone should state sources and why they think that a person is their ancestor if there may be doubt.
Then we would not go round in circles, by assuming someones data is 100% correct, and others just copying it, etc.
Some people have copied our data and published it incorrectly. e.g. mothers marrying sons! : and mothers giving birth to their grandchildren.

Richard T Croker found a 3rd cousin (a HOY) via the Web and an email query:
Hoy Family.

I helped to correct a link in with another 19th century family (EVERSHED):
See their web pages at
Evershed Family. Go to The Eveshed Family, then Downloads.

I now have more 'cousins' found via the web, in New Zealand, Canada and United States. (Common ancestor name is HOY)

Brown (Canada) site is at :- Brown Family.

You may have found references in your name descendant or name ancestor search to our old web pages. The old root directories are still available, so just delete the file name and go to its root directory. Amend as follows:- The latest name root directories are "name" in format, (without the quotes)[not name'd' or name'des', without the quotes].

American Cousins
Perhaps you can help us trace a Family Tree
(ROBSON, McLEAN, Reid, Ball, Hoy, possibly), sent to America before the late 1930's by my great grandmother, Margaret Anne HOY (nee REID).
Whoever had it would have had relatives in the Newcastle (UK) area, I think.
We would be grateful for a copy, please.
(ROBSON, Robert (b. a1845) had a wife who unfortunately died near childbirth and her sons descendants may have been sent the family tree.
ROBSON Robert, had a second wife Jean MCLEAN, who stayed with a HOY).

Go to the Name Index

You may have found references to our old web pages in your search.
Please click on 'Name Index' above to find the latest descendant pages.

The names listed were the oldest family members (confirmed), with their spouse and their children, and their spouses.
We would be interested to hear of any older ancestors, and any other descendants.
