Trying to find if Florence Bourne and /or Florence Buxton 2 Wellington Street Hanley Stoke on Trent Staffordshire UK are one of the same person, as I believe they may be two different people.
Hi there - I'd be very grateful for any information on Florence Ada Parris (or Paris?) who was my grandmother. She was born sometime between 1900 - 1925 in Chatham, Kent, England and died about 1989 in Scotland. She married Arthur Smith and they had two children, Elizabeth (b.17 Apr 1937) and Johnny. Thanks, David Hanlon (New Zealand)
Hi Im looking for any information on the Corr's in Ireland. My uncle Tom Corr was doing a research on our family before he passed away and I want to continue that research. My Grandfathers name was Thomas Michael Corr Sr. and he was born in 1920. I don't know if it was in Ireland or not. But from what my uncle told me he said the research he found dealth with County Meth in Ireland. If anyone has any information that could be helpful please write on here or send a message to my inbox.
Next year, BBC TWO is launching a new series which will travel the country in a hunt for the nation's home movie archive.
This is the nation's story through the eyes of its most important
historians: the British people.
We are looking for any amateur-filmed footage that reflects the events of the last seventy years. It might be footage of the summer of 1976, or the great storm of 1987. It might be street parties celebrating the Coronation, Jubilee or the Royal Weddings. We're interested in footage of people's hobbies or the big events in their life - perhaps an important wedding or birthday party. We would love to see any footage of local festivals, or people who perhaps went on to be famous - a local who went on to be a sports or pop star for instance.
We are interested in finding any footage you may have of Royalty, or the building or opening of important buildings in the area. It might be Beatlemania for instance, or political demonstrations. It could be that the footage is very particular to the area - the local industry - from ship building to cider-making.
We are throwing the net very wide, and we are really interested to hear from individuals or organisations about what they think is of importance and what deserves to be seen on the small screen.
If you have old cine, video or film footage we would love to hear from you.
We are happy to take it on any format. We guarantee its' safe return.
At this point, we are still at the research stage - so we are keen to hear about what people have. If any clips are used in the series, then a fee will be paid.
Please contact the production team at

Or you can post your footage to: Home Movie Roadshow,

I'm looking for James Tailby, born in England, don't know when and where. I just know that in 1850's (more or less) he went to Spain and worked for the Duke of Osuna, because he was the director of his stables. I also think that he was jockey. He was well known in spanish high society and he also was called "Santiago Tailby".
I know that he had a familiar called John Tailby, also known as "Juan Tailby". Don't know if he was his father or his son.
One of them was married and had 2 children:
- Ascension TAILBY SALCINES. She was born in 1849 and died in 1926 in Madrid.
- Don't know TAILBY SALCINES.
Any help will be appreciated. Sorry for my english and thank you for your time,

Hi, I'm trying to locate an ancestor on my wife's side, we have got as far as his son (direct ancestor) and have michael Carrol in the 1871 Census as 31 living with wife Alice Ann (nee Murneghan) 27 and children George A 4 and Thomas Lawrence 1 at 14 Barrack Street, Hulme, Manchester. We then have him in the 1881 Census aged 41, Alice Ann aged 37, children George A 13, Thomas Lawrence 11, Alice A aged 7 and William J aged 3. We cannot find any trace in the 1861, 1851 or 1841 Census's or any trace of him or any of the children in the 1891 census. We have the son Thomas Lawrence Carroll in the 1901 census. All the above was found on Genes Reunited.
Any help in pointing us in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
