This page describes information identified as (typically) Surname XXX in YYY, ZZZshire, included as part of Rosemary Lockie's Family History collection. Ideally, you have arrived here by following a link entitled “About this Information” on one of these pages. If you arrived here by some other means, please review the list of Rosemary's Databases for available records.

Coverage

This collection consists of a list of names and events from a very wide range of sources which have been collected by myself and others for the purposes of our own interest, and research. They do not represent complete extractions from any one source, nor complete coverage of all records which may be available for a particular place or surname.

Added Value

The Surname/Forename columns may contain additional information which may be of two forms:

• In the case of a marriage, the information relates to that person, and has usually been obtained from the original source. Comparable Information relating to their partner will be included under the Related to/Remarks columns.

• In the case of birth/baptism, or death/burial, the information is generally speaking NOT in the original record, and is a note to myself of when that person may have died, been married, or was born, or it may be a note of a lady's maiden surname (such as née Goddard). Such notes reflect my opinions, and (literally) are not carved in stone so do treat them with caution, as I'm sure you will.

Disclaimer

This collection consists of a list of names and events from a very wide range of sources which have been collected by myself and others for the purposes of our own interest, and research. They do not represent complete extractions from any one source, nor complete coverage of all records which may be available for a particular place [yes, it said this earlier too]

We very much hope that you find something of interest here. However, as with any transcript, or index, please use this data as a finding aid only, and NOT as a definitive source. Whilst we will have made every effort to transcribe accurately from original records, we do not claim to achieve 100% accuracy, nor can we promise to amend errors brought to our attention as and when they are reported. The onus is therefore on you to verify the information is an accurate reproduction of the original source.
