Hi Jane,

Just found the time to have a quick look at your photos of Fred Goodwill and Family in India. What a incredible visual documentation of life in India during British India. Fred must have been an amazing man. My grandmother would have been thrilled to see them, She was born in Bopal, and raised in Bangalore, attending the St Francis Girls School in Coimbatore.

Best Wishes,

Kat

I know it was a while ago, you showed a Hommels Haematogen bottle. I have a full one with a label! It was for human consumption and also children, one teaspoon 2-3 times a day!! I think as a tonic . 

Hi Jane,

Have you checked out the National Archives Newspaper search?

I have subscribed and found it very useful, however you have to pay and the copyright is pretty ridiculous.

Best wishes Peter

Jane.....

I've been researching my family (the Bakers) and was delighted to see the will of my great-great-great uncle, James Baker. My direct line is down through William Humpage Baker and his son Willis Baker. It was really great to find this information and I was wondering how you came to find it and why you put it onto the web-site (a relative, perhaps?).

I have a particular interest in William Humpage's son, Willis, because he and his wife (Alice Mary) were killed in an accident around March/April 1895. We don't know what the accident was but we have seen a mention of Willis in a Probate Calender. Do you have any information that might through light on the accident (Express and Star news items are all on microfiche)?

I was wondering if you have any information on a relative of mine?  His name is George Grosvenor and was born in Wolverhampton in 1813.  George is my 3x Great grandfather.  I visited Stafford archives last weekend but couldn't find any information.

Thanks

Your collection of old photos of bangalore is priceless. My mother studied and worked in Goodwills schools during the years 1950-2004, and would be touched to see these photos. My house in India was just behind Goodwills school.

Hi Jane.

First batch is up!!! I'll try and do proper dates for some of them - i've put 1000 as they're hiding in another family tree somewhere
