Dade Registers

Dade Registers: "what are Dade registers?

Basically, very detailed registers that contain far more information even than the standard baptism and burial entries that all parishes were required to adopt after George Rose’s Act in 1812. They were named after the Rev. William Dade, a Yorkshire clergyman born in 1740 who went to St. John's College, Cambridge. From 1763 until his death in 1790, he was curate, vicar and rector of five parishes in York and two in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

He was far ahead of his time in seeing the value of including as much information on individuals in the parish register as possible. In 1770 he wrote in the parish register of St. Helen's, York: 'This scheme if properly put in execution will afford much clearer intelligence to the researches of posterity than the imperfect method hitherto generally pursued.' Dade's influence spread and the term Dade register has come to describe any parish registers that include more detail than expected for the time.

In 1777, Archbishop William Markham decided that the Dade scheme should be introduced throughout the Diocese of York. The baptismal registers were to include child's name, seniority (eg. first son), father's name, profession, place of abode and descent (ie names, professions and places of abode of the father's parents), similar information about the mother, the infant's date of birth and baptism. . . . .

new url for Rootsweb

RootsWeb Newsroom » Blog Archive » RootsWeb Announcement: "As you know, The Generations Network has hosted and funded the RootsWeb online community since June 2000, thereby maintaining RootsWeb as the world’s oldest and largest free genealogy website. TGN remains committed to this mission and believes that RootsWeb is an absolutely invaluable and complementary resource to Ancestry.com, our flagship commercial family history site. We believe in both services and want to see both communities prosper and grow.

As part of this goal, we have decided to “transplant” RootsWeb onto the Ancestry.com domain beginning next week. This move will not change the RootsWeb experience or alter the ease of navigation to or within RootsWeb. RootsWeb will remain a free online experience. What will be different is
that the Web address for all RootsWeb pages will change from www.
rootsweb.com to www. rootsweb.ancestry.com. Again, the RootsWeb experience
is not changing.

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ needs a coming soon page

The decision to host RootsWeb on Ancestry.com is being made for one primary reason: we believe that the users of each of our two main websites can be better served if they have access to the best services available on both. Simply stated, we want to introduce more Ancestry.com users to RootsWeb and vice versa."

what Tim Sullivan does not say that it is us, the TGN subscribers, who have happily paid for Rootsweb since June 2000

[NEWSROOM-ANNOUNCEMENT] Improvements to the Message Board hyperlinks:
"The newest improvement that we made today is the addition of a new link in
the pop-up box that says 'turn off links.' This will turn off all of the
automatic links in message board posts for the full duration of your visit
to the message boards. For anyone frustrated by these links, we hope that
this helps improve your experience on the message boards."

but it does not work globally as a user preference

RootsWeb Newsroom » Blog Archive » Linking to More Resources on the Message Boards: "We have introduced a new feature on the Message Boards. We now automatically recognize last names included in message board posts and offer special links to additional surname resources. (We have done our best to identify surnames but you will still see words that will be linked that are not surnames in the context of the message.)"

this is of course correctly called hypertext or the semantic web, and hardly a new idea.

Intelligent Web Technology in 2004:

“intelligent Web-based information systems through the mining of diverse Web data resources is being studied in the emerging research area of Web knowledge discovery. . . "

as always with these TGN “improvements” the concept is better than the execution because this time the artifical intelligence needed is not adequate or available yet

Divorce in England and Wales

UK Parliament - Archives - AAM7: "Divorce in England

Divorce by legal process only became possible after the Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857. Before that date people could get a legal separation called a mensa et thoro from an ecclesiastical court, and damages for adultery could be obtained from a civil court - this was called a suit for criminal conversation. However the only way to get a full divorce which allowed re-marriage was to obtain an Act of Parliament by proving adultery or life-threatening cruelty. Parliamentary proceedings were expensive and this could only be undertaken by the rich.

Divorce records

The Parliamentary Archives holds the records of divorces obtained by Act of Parliament between 1670 and 1857, including the initial petitions to the House of Lords, Acts, Bills, amendments and copies of earlier proceedings in the ecclesiastical courts. Divorce Bills were usually considered by a committee of the whole House of Lords, and evidence was given there by witnesses. The evidence can give large amounts of personal information about the people involved, as maids, butlers and coachmen were called alongside family members to testify about the state of the marriage."

The Addison/Campbell Divorce Act, 1801

This is a significant Act as it was the first to be obtained by a woman. Jane Campbell managed to divorce her husband Edward Addison on the grounds of adultery with her sister. She also managed to obtain custody of their children.

Matrimonial Causes Act of 1857 - Google Search

Society of Australian Genealogists - Basics on Divorce:

The Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 led to the creation on 1 January 1858 of a Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes. Prior to this there were five main methods by which partners could be separated in unsatisfactory marriages:

* Private Separation
* Desertion and Elopement
* Wife sale
* Judicial separation by ecclesiastical courts
* Full divorce by Act of Parliament

The National Archives has an Information Leaflet #43 Divorce Records before 1858 which provides full descriptions of each of these methods and the relevant records held.

The Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes took over the jurisdiction for matrimonial affairs from the church courts in 1858 and was empowered to deal with child custody, maintenance and alimony.

Information leaflet #44 Divorce Records after 1858 describes divorce legislation 1857-1939, divorce records 1858-1943, divorce records after 1943 and divorce in Ireland.

Brizzle spoke

BBC - Bristol - Bristol Features - Calling All Bristolians: "Using words and phrases ironically, rather than literally, is another way dialect survives, although, not in its original form.

So, for example the phrases 'gert lush' and 'hark at ee' are more often used jokingly now than 10 years ago.

Fossil words and phrases tend to be used by Bristolians to send themselves up in a playful way.

Many of the teenagers involved so far in the research only realised they had a Bristol accent l when they went on holiday for the first time and into a social situation with people who were not from the Bristol area."

FamilySearch

FamilySearch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The LDS Church is currently (June 28, 2006) developing a web application for membership (and, eventually, everyone) to be able to interact with a very large, unified database full of connected genealogical information. When fully released, it will replace the current FamilySearch.org.

Most of the development work on the new system takes place in offices in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Temple Square, Salt Lake City, Utah."

New FamilySearch to Advance Temple Work | LDS Temple Study Blog - Sustaining and Defending the LDS (Mormon) Temple: "For those who may not know, for the past few years the Church has been overhauling and rebuilding FamilySearch, one of the world’s premiere family history and genealogy websites, to expand its features and functionality significantly."

Dee’s Genealogical Journey » Blog Archive » No Personal Genealogy Right Now…: "5. Rootsweb had originally offered free webspace for all USGenWeb Counties. While this seems like a nice gesture, many in the project feel that since Rootsweb is now a part of a large organization, with investors who aren’t even interested in genealogy, it is no longer a generous, no-strings-attached offer as it may have once been.

as an ancestry subsacriber I pay for GenWeb too

6. One reason they feel the way I described in #5 is because there have been quite a few claim that information from there personal USGenWeb County site was harvested and placed behind a pay-site."

Miners in Ireland

Trust symbol: "The Cronebane Token

A shortage of copper currency in Great Britain and Ireland towards the end of the eighteenth century, led to the private manufacture of tokens to the value of one penny and one half penny. Because the quality and weight were of a sufficiently high standard, they were accepted and used as general coinage.
The Hibernian Mine Company and the Associated Irish Mine Company which had mines in west and east Avoca respectively, produced their own tokens. The 'Cronebane Token', produced by the AIMC and named after the townland of that name in East Avoca, is probably the most beautiful of all the token coinage of that period.

The obverse of the token shows a bust of St Patrick and the reverse a crest and shield of arms, which may be regarded as the Arms of the Company. The shield incorporates crossed shovels, miners picks and a powder horn and is surmounted by a windlass."

The Trust: "The Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland seeks to develop the informed public awareness, appreciation, conservation and enjoyment of all facets of mining heritage throughout Ireland.
Objectives: The objectives of the Trust are:
The general promotion of awareness, appreciation and conservation of the mining heritage of Ireland.
To create and maintain an inventory of surface and underground mining remains.
To actively participate in, facilitate and promote the surveying and documentation of extant mining heritage.
To create and maintain a library of information to assist researchers.
To provide an active programme of lectures, field meetings, publications and a newsletter.
To undertake general mining history educational activities.
To initiate and support mining heritage as tourist amenities.
To promote a 'Code of Practice' in relation to sites.
To provide representation on mining heritage to relevant statutory authorities"
