Scroll down on the Home Page to "Index of Surnames".
I have found quite a number of ancestors with their pedigrees plus clues to others on this site, with one of my lines it gave me three generations! It is the Bolch Family Site and although USA based, it has a lot of Essex material and presumably that of other British counties.
Hope it helps someone, good luck.
NB The surname index part of the site was "temporarily" removed from the site 31/7/07, a note attached stated that it would return in a few weeks. I checked it out 5/4/08 and the index was still not back.
1/7/08 Still not back, has she spat the dummy! :o
6/5/09 Still not back.
26/4/2011 Still not back

The website of the Essex Surnames List gives contact details for people researching a considerable number of surnames in the Essex area,

This link doesn't appear to work - are there any other lists of Essex surnames? I am looking for the CARDER family from Orsett and Horndon on the Hill.
Thanks, Hev

Hi Hev,
You're right, the link has stopped working and I've no idea why. I was going to suggest trying the Rootschat 'Surnames Interests' database, but I see you've done that already.
Anyway, I've had a look and found another link for the Essex Surnames List. I've edited my original post accordingly. The site lists someone researching Carders from the area you're interested in.
Good luck with your research,
Douglas

The Essex Society for Family History has a list of surnames in the UK being researched by their members. Unfortunately no-one there is researching Carders in Essex.

Many thanks for the response and the new link.

The Essex surnames list link is working now, I have just looked and there are three people researching Carder on there on of whom is looking in the Horndon on the hill area.

Many thanks for the link. I've found and contacted someone researching the WISBEY family in Elmdon/Arkesden/Clavering who I believe will turn out to have connections with my own family. They appear to be in Australia, and I know they aren't in my direct line, so hopefully they'll get back to meand we'll both learn something new :)
I've added my Wisbeys too, so it might throw up some more new leads

The site address has slightly changed, the new address is http://www.oocities.org/heartland/plains/2953/

Apparently the lady who owns The Bolch Genealogy has copped some flack from relatives who did not want some details shown on the site, judging by her comments she is a very angry lady.
Regards.
