Hi to all, Found a possible relative on mine, but need to pay £3.50 to find out if its mine or not. It seems to be the person..... what is says is born Stonehouse, Devon (kinda right...), date: april 5 1872 (well he died in 1872 so don't know what its refering to...). He is called George Henry Anstis on the site ( i don't know about the Henry bit) and its on the Register of Seamans services. Offical number 143466 ADM 188/201 Steve

So what help are you asking for?

For the rellie I have on there, the date is his date of BIRTH! Merry

The squirrels appear to have attacked this site too, so I can't check your reference, but it should be the case that this man was in the Royal Navy and BORN in 1872. He may be related to, but would not be the man you are interested in.

Then I'm not the only one who's having trouble persuading DocsOnline that it really does have results for me? Christine

I think you might be right.... but still..... seems a big coincidence.... just need help figuring it out i guess

Perhaps the DocsOnline one is this one; Name: Anstis, George Henry Record Type: Marriages Quarter: March Year: 1901 District: Guisborough County: North Riding of Yorkshire Volume: 9d Page: 712 brides: Fletcher, Susan and Warner, Catherine and possibly related to (?father of?): Name: Henry George Anstis Death Year: 1996 Age: 84 Birth Date: 13 Mar 1912 Death Registration Month/Year: Apr 1996 Registration District: Hastings and Rother Inferred County: East Sussex Inferred Country: England Register Number: A58A Entry number: 234 Christine

This is the DocsOnline one in 1881, I reckon: Source information: RG11/2204 Registration district: East Stonehouse Sub-registration district: East Stonehouse ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Folio: 95 Page: 37 2 Adelaide Mews, East Stonehouse, Devon, England William Anstis abt 1836 Penzance, Cornwall, England Head Elizh. Anstis abt 1849 Stonehouse, Devon, England Wife Eliza J. Anstis abt 1861 Plymouth, Devon, England Daughter Louisa C. Anstis abt 1870 Stonehouse, Devon, England Daughter **George H. Anstis abt 1871 Stonehouse, Devon, England Son Charles S. Anstis abt 1874 Stonehouse, Devon, England Son Martha E. Anstis abt 1876 Stonehouse, Devon, England Daughter Edwin J. Anstis abt 1878 Stonehouse, Devon, England Son William R. Anstis abt 1880 Stonehouse, Devon, England Son Christine

Or what about this chappie born in East Stonehouse district: Name: Anstice, George Henry Record Type: Births Quarter: June Year: 1871 District: East Stonehouse County: Devon Volume: 5b Page: 308 Q2 is right but year is one out. However all my navy people are one year out for some reason??! Merry
