Title: Help needed
Post by: reloadoz on Thursday 09 February 06 06:57 GMT (UK)

Can someone please tell me where I can look up parish records for Stebbing, Essex from 1812 onwards, without leaving Oz. ???

Probably by ordering microfilm through your nearest LDS Family History Centre.  I have ancestors in Stebbing and surrounding area from the early 1700s - what names are  you after?

Hi there Glenpenny,
I am a Lewis and I am also doing Heard and Gowers (both were grandparents). i have a large amount of information already but I need to be able to confirm with parish records or by other means.
My main objective at the moment is to link the Lewis's born between 1770 and 1825. I think they are all related. I have parish birth records to 1812, then I hit the wall.
regards Norm.

Hello Norm,

I have a William Lewis who married Elizabeth Partner in 1854 in Stebbing. No Heards or Gowers I'm afraid.  Children I'm aware of were Ellen Jane and George.

Sorry but I live in Lancashire so have the same problem re. parish records as yourself, even though I do live a heck of a lot closer to Essex.

Thanks Glenys for your hekp, I guess I will just keep plodding along. At least I keep getting snippets from different sources. Good luck to you and thanks again. Norm.

Hi

I know that you were asking about parish registers post 1812, but this may help someone.

My gg grandfather was Esdras Gowers b.1799 in Stebbing, if you go to the SEAX website:
http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/login.asp?Start=True&ERO=2
Register as a guest - search for Stebbing parish registers (in the full text search) the first item should be the Stebbing parish registers from 1712 to 1812, unfortunately they are not indexed so you will have to trawl through the pages - Good Luck!

Hi Eagletone,
My g.g.grandmother was Sarah Jane Gowers b1859. I have traced back to Thomas Gowers b1771. I have your line on my files with a connection being Samuel Gowers married to Caroline Gowers. I also have connections to a number of other Stebbing families.

Hi Norm

I don't have your line in my tree - yet. Which Samuel Gowers married Caroline? I have one b.1824 who is a brother to my g.grandmother Ellen Gowers b.1846 - both children of Esdras Gowers b.1799 - does Esdras connect to your Thomas? I have got back to George born c.1692.

Hi Tony,
That Samuel is the one I have married to Caroline. Am I wrong with that??
 I only have back to Esdras father William. Further information woul be good.
Norm.
