CUTLER and RANDALL WW1 profiles

New to the website today:

• Serviceman profile for Arthur Edwin Cutler, thanks to Peter Denchfield
• Serviceman profile for Daniel Randall, who passed away 100 years ago today, one day before Armistice Day

May update

The military pages have been reworked - I have split these into multiple pages (WW1, WW2 and all other servicemen), added some entries, and expanded some entries. If you know of anyone I've missed, please email me and let me know their details.

In particular, if you have any more information on these men from the War Memorial, please let me know:
Alfred BLEW (WW2)
John BULL (WW2)
Tony HAYNES (WW2)
John HORN (WW2)
Harold RANDALL (WW1)
Samuel SMITH (WW1)

Harold RANDALL and Samuel SMITH

Harold RANDALL and Samuel SMITH both appear on the War Memorial, but I don't have any further information on either man. Does anyone out there know anything more about their service details?

1841 census updates

I have been able to transcribe the previously missing pages from the 1841 census, now to check them and convert the file to html....so looking good for the December update! Anyone out there with COLLYER, CUTLER, HOUNSLOW, PEASE or RANDALL ancestors should be pleased, there's more than one household of each of those surnames in there.

By the way, please feel free to post comments to the blog. I don't bite!

1841 census

Immediately after my last post, I turned my attention to the straw plaiting summary. It was curious that I couldn't find local straw plait dealer Benjamin RANDALL in 1841. To my horror I have just discovered that he was definitely in Wing - it's just the page he is on was missing from the the original scans I transcribed the 1841 census from.

And what's worse, I have just done a full check and there's eight pages in Wing and another two in Littleworth all missing on the CD I originally used!

Suffice to say getting those transcribed and up is now my number one priority.
