Title: Kimpton, Herts lookup
Post by: SueW on Saturday 28 August 04 22:28 BST (UK)

Can anyone lookup Kimpton, Herts parish records:

I am looking for the parents of:
Tamar Gatward (may be Tamara)
Thomas Ivory Gatward
Sarah Ivory Gatward

 All christened at Kimpton on 11/04/1830. I need confirmation of parents that I believe to be Samuel Gatward and Mary Ivory?

Also John Gathward/Gathard (should this be Gatward) christened on 30/11/1794. Parents Samuel and Mary??.

Also a marriage of Samuel Gathard (should be Gatward?) to Mary Ivory at Kimpton on 22/02/1805.

I would be grateful if anyone can help sort these Gatwards out.

Sue

Hi Sue

I'm doing a spot of housekeeping.  Do you still need this information please?  If so, it might be worth contacting HALS who offer a very reasonable research service if you cannot visit in person.

I'm afraid that very few people have personal copies of Herts Parish Records because HALS only sells them on microfilm, so it might be worth hiring the Kimpton film for viewing at your nearest LDS Family History Centre.

Hi Rick

This can be deleted now.  I know where to go if I want to look into this further.

Thanks

Sue
