As I only live a mile away from the Surrey History Centre, I am willing to look up things there for you.
Please note that parish records for places such as Lambeth, Southwark, once in Surrey are held at the London Metropolitan Archive rather than at the Surrey Centre.
I'm fairly new to this, so please supply as much info as possible and I will try my best.

Hi,
I have HAMBLYN family who lived in surrey 1800 - present,
any info on them pre 1860's would be great,
thankyou,
Paul

Paul,
Can you be more specific in your request?
Any Hamblyns living in Lameth or Southwark will not be archived at the Surrey Centre - they are at the London Metroplitan Archives.
I'm not sure, but I may have to look up by parish, such as "All Saints", "St Mary's" etc.
Let me know what you have in any case and I'll do my best.
Ray

Hi Ray,
thanks for your offer. Could you look up the marriages of 3 members of the same family for me? Their details are:
Mary Georgiana Liddell, married March qtr 1883 at St George Hanover Square (Vol 1a/pg 663)
Wilhelmina Clara Liddell, married March qtr 1885 at St George Hanover Square (Vol 1a/pg 529)
Dorothy Isabel Liddell, married Dec qtr 1891 at St George Hanover Square (Vol 1a/pg 897).
Many thanks,

Sorry, but the marriages you refer to are in the Mayfair/Pimlico/Westminster area of central London, not in Surrey.
Try a request for the London area, or probably better just order the marriage certificates. If you go to Ancestry.co.uk you can view indexes for these marriages and by clicking on the register's page number you can see others registered on the same page, which would have included the groom.
But this really only works if you have a hunch, as these records are (a)incomplete and (b)you may have different names to choose from.
Good Luck,
Ray

Sorry, but the marriages you refer to are in the Mayfair/Pimlico/Westminster area of central London, not in Surrey.
Thanks anyway Ray,
As they are not direct ancestors, I didn't really want to order the certs at this stage, I've got enough to save up for as it is. As you know, there is usually 4 names on the sheet, so I've got a 50/50 chance of getting the right one.
Have to save that branch for later I guess.
D ap D
-
Paul,
Thanks for that on the Hamblyns. I'm sure the Surrey Record Office won't have anything indexed, but I have direct relatives from Lambeth too! They lived where St Thomas' Hospital is now, which is between Waterloo Station and the Thames.
If I need to look up Parish Records for that area, I will remember your query.
But I'd suggest you try other avenues for a more reliable response, as I have yet to research parish registers and I don't know how time consuming it is, bearing in mind it will be a special journey for me. What about trying your nearest Mormons Family Research Centre - they may be able to order some microfilm from another branch to your nearest one. Just a thought.
All the Best,
Ray

Hi Ray
Anytime you are there and have any spare time, I wonder if you could see if there's anything on Walter J (James or John) Green, a civil servant with the India Office, who lived in Croydon? He was living there in 1881, by which time he was widowed, with his four children, Louise, Mary, Katherine and Philip Walter J Green. Philip was born around 1874, but I can't find his birth record. I would be particularly interested in any record of the death of Walter's wife, Mrs Louise Green, some time between 1871 and 1881; in the death of Walter himself, post 1901 census, and/or any records about Philip, whom I can't find in the 1901 census. I wondered if Philip had died young.
Many thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi,
Thanks for your generous offer.
Would it be posible to check to Parish Records for Godstone for a baptism of Thomas SKINNER born 1830 and Edward skinner born 1825. Father's name also Thomas.
Many thanks

Hi Ray
Many thanks for your kind offer. If the records for Newington St. Mary are still in Surrey, can you please look up the birth of an Elizabeth Rowley. Elizabeth's age varies by over 10 years between various census declarations!! I believe that 1831 is the most likely year but could be as late as 1841.
Any help you can give is much appreciated.

Hi Ray,
Would it be possible to check the parish records for Beddington, Surrey for a marriage of Samuel Oatham/Otham and Susannah Dowsett? I have found them in the Familysearch , they married in 19th Dec 1825, but I just wonder if there any more details in the Beddington parish records like their parents names or witness? please
Many thanks

Hello,
I am trying to trace a record in the Banns register for the parish of Thames Ditton in Surrey for the marriage of John Foster and Elizabeth Pantling at St. Nicholas Church, Thames Ditton on 8th September 1832 to try to establish which parishes they belonged to. I Know Elizabeth was born at Byfleet in Surrey but I can't find a birth/baptism for John. John died in May 1836 so I can't trace him on any census returns. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am looking for information on my Aunt. Her name was Edith Maureen Lake
she lived at 58 Ash Road, Stonecott Hill Surrey. She was born in 1902 in Brixton. I know that she passed away when she was about 90 but I was not able to come home and see her. Her maiden name was Wood.
I apppreciate any help that you can give me.

Strangely enough I cannot find these Skinners in the Parish Register for Godstone. The only Skinners there are the product of John and Sarah or of William and Ann. No Thomas.
I'd be interested in where you got the information in case I can look elsewhere?

No luck at the History Centre, as these records are held in the London Metropolitan Archives (Corporation of London).
But a search on the IGI index on the LDS site reveals your person being christened on 2 January 1831.

Hi,
Not much luck I'm afraid. They do not have the banns records for this period/parish at the centre.
If its useful, I have the two witnesses at the wedding as Anne Burningham and Thomas Foster.
Were Elizabeth's parents John and Mary? If so, I can give you some info on her brothers and sisters.
I could not see any Fosters being born in Thames Ditton around the time he was probably born, or in Byfleet.

Hi MrsLizzy,
No Croydon records here in Woking; they are kept in Croydon.
But it seems your best bet may be to trawl through 1837.com Not easy with a common surname, but its worth a go.
Ray

Thanks for looking for the Banns Ray.
I have a copy of the marriage register so know the witnesses. I was trying to trace John and Thomas' father. John was 26 when he died in 1836 which would make his birth around 1810ish.I have the IGI for Surrey and the nearest I can get is a John C. 1807 and his brother Thomas C. 1802 to a William and Ann Foster at Chertsey, Surrey. Ann Burningham married Elizabeth's brother Anthony. Elizabeth was born in Byfleet to Mary & John Pantlin and went back to live in Byfleet after John's death with her 2 sons.I have the PR for Thames Ditton the last recorded baptism of a Foster in Thames Ditton was 1801 and the last burial 1840 so there were fosters living in Thames Ditton in the same period but that does not help me with my quest for John's father.
Thanks for your help anyway.

Hi Ray,
RE: SKINNER - Godstone
Many thanks for looking.
I have found both Thomas and Edward on the 1881 and 1891 census for Lambeth. They both give their birth place as Godstone. There were three other brothers, Stephen, Harry and one other but I don't have any further information on them.
On both Edward and Thomas's marriage certificates it gives their father's name as Thomas.
-
Hi Sheppie,
I see that Thomas was born in Mitcham, according to the 1881 Census, if we are talking about the one in Oakley Street, Lambeth.
It seems that Mitcham registers are held here in Woking. I won't be around for a few days, but let me know what you find and if you want me to pay a visit there.

Hi Ray,
My Thomas Skinner has been transcribed on the 1881 census as Thomas STINNET.
He was living at 21 Paragon Road, London. Census ref: RG11 Piece/FOLI 0302/7 Page 8.
His son Harry is transcribed as Haven. Harry's brother George was also living there along with Thomas's wife Jane Matilda who was born in Doncastor.
Do you have any suggestions as to where I can look next.

Hi Ray
Re: Skinner - Godstone.

I have found Edward Skinner on the 1871 Census for Lambeth and it gives his birthplace as HORNE.

Hi Ray it is very kind of you to offer to attempt lookups! I don't know if Tooting Graveney is in your area but I will try anyway. I have a Burrell family that was living at Salvadore Place, Mitcham Road, Tooting Graveney during the 1841 census (H0107/1068/5/44). Hannah Burrell was living there with her daughters Agatha and Emily. Her husband was James Burrell who was dead by then. I believe that his death was registered during the 3rd Quarter of 1838 at Tooting Graveney. I was wondering if you have access to view the parish records for Tooting Graveney to see if his death is there and if there were any details about his death. James Burrell and Hannah were likely married around 1813 as their 1st child was christened at Tooting Graveney on Jan 9, 1814. I would be interested to see if you could find a James Burrell marriage and possibly a christening for James Burrell which would probably be around 1785 plus or minus 5 years each way. Thank you, James from Canada.
-
Hi James,
These records are not held in my town but at the London Metropolitan Archives.
But I might have to go up there myself within the next few weeks, so I'll bookmark your request.

Re: SKINNER family from Godstone
I see Horne is a separate parish from Godstone. I'll try and research it this coming week.

Hello Ray
Very scant information I'm afraid, but here goes:-
George GALE born in SURREY 1841
Sorry, that's absolutely all I can give you.
Norah
-
Norah,
That's a bit too scant I'm afraid.
I recommend that you look on 1837online.com to view the index of births post 1 July 1837.
If you have the year of birth from a census, it may not be that accurate, so try a few years either side if necessary.
Let me know how you get on.

Re: Skinner - Godstone
Maureen:
It seems that Thomas and Edward were the product of Thomas and Mary Skinner from Horne, a parish not far from Godstone. There were several children, as follows
Thomas baptised 8/Nov/1812
John born 30/Oct/1813 baptised 28/Nov/1813
Amey born 6/Nov/1814 baptised 8/Jan/1815
Amelia born 8/Nov/1815 baptised17/Dec/1815
John born 13/Apr/1817 baptised 18/May/1817
Mary born 9/May/1818 baptised 9/June/1818
Sarah born 21/July/1820 baptised 13/Aug/1820
Maria born 5/July/1822 baptised 28/July/1822
Edward baptised 23/Jan/1825
Rachel baptised 18/May/1828
Thomas baptised 29/Aug/1830
Esther baptised 28/Oct/1832
Abel baptised 14/June/1835
Jesse Edward baptised 25/March/1838
John (1817) and Sarah (1820) are recorded as 'base born', i.e. illegetimate. But more interesting is the entry for Amey born 1814. It records the parents as Thomas Skinner and Mary Skinner, and under Mary's name it says "Kinswoman of the above" [they mean Thomas]. Its unusual for the mother's surname to be shown in the registers. The surname is repeated for her on the 1817 birth of John too where she is quoted as a servant and he a farmer. In all other entries he is described as a labourer.
I cannot find any marriage between Thomas and Mary, so maybe they were brother and sister or something.
I've taken the opportunity of recording all the Skinner records back to around 1740 and the only Mary Skinner I see being baptised at an appopriate time is on 29 January 1797, and she was the daughter of John and Mary. I cannot trace a John and Mary marriage either, not in Horne anyway.
As for the birth of Thomas, the "father", I cannot see one, but the baptism register is incomplete for much of the 1780's, although he may have hailed from another parish of course.
I cannot see a Stephen or Harry anywhere, although there were some Henry's around, including one born of a single mum named Amelia (bap 7 May 1837). Maybe your other names were just relatives that weren't siblings.
I hope this has removed a couple of bricks from your wall...
Ray
-
Hi Ray,
Many, Many thanks for the information.
I am beginning to think that Stephen and Harry are being mixed up with Thomas's (born 1830) sons.
He had sons called Stephen and Harry so there may well be confusion there.
On Thomas's marriage certificate it stated his father was Thomas occ Farmer Edwards marriage certificate shows his father as Thomas, occ Labourer however, it looks very likely that the ones you have found are the ones I am looking for.
Again many, many thanks.
Regards
Maureen

Hi Ray
I would like to find more info on the parents (ie. reveal who they were) of
Ann Lock b.1844 Limpsfield, nr Godstone
here is almost definitely her birth reference on the General Register:
Births Dec 1844
LOCK Ann Godstone vol 4 page 156
since I accidently bought a birth certifcate identical to this but on page 95.
I believe Elizabeth may be the mother's name from a later census. If you have time to look up the 1851 census of Limpsfield that would be very much appreciated
Many Thanks and best wishes
Adam

Adam,
Couldn't find Ann there, either in Limpsfield, Godstone or nearby Oxted.
The 1851 census only showed an Elizabeth aged 55, with her husband Robert 52.

Hi Ray,
Any chance of a look-up for the Parents of Ernest Alvin Clark Born & Died Reigate 1877 anything from the Baptism & Burial records please.
My Dad is Ernest Alvin, his Dad was Alvin Ernest, my middle name is Alvin. I would love to know if he is one of ours. Can you imagine, when I was a kid the only other Alvin I knew was a Chipmunk.
Paul.
-
Paul,
Limited success at present. Cannot find a baptism but I have Ernest Alvin Clarke buried in Reigate 6 June 1877 aged 14 days. His abode was described as 'The Hatch', Reigate.
Would be happy to help futher re: parents, but I need rather more info/clues on them.
Have you tried ordering a certificate through 1837.com to get their names?
Ray
-
Hi Ray,
That sounds like him to me even with the 'E' I still get that myself. I was hoping his Parents would have been on the Burial record as I can't really afford certificates until I am sure.

Hi Ray,
Please could you look up the following people for me, they are all children of John Bankam Woodley and Eleanora Maria (nee Allen). Eleanora is very frequently misspelt!

Geoff,
Children of John Bankam Woodley and Eleanora Maria (nee Allen).
Edith Rosalie Woodley baptised December 17 1863 Send, Surrey.
Thomas Herbert Woodley baptised December 17 1864 Send, Surrey. (yes, exactly a year later!)
Septimus Charles Woodley baptised October 3 1868, Send, Surrey.
(that name suggests a September birth !)
Father is described as 'Gentleman' from Send in all these entries.
Richard Henry Woodley born 19 November 1872 Surbiton, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. Baptised in Christ Church, Surbiton 14 December 1872. Father described as Brewer living in Surbiton.
Frank William Woodley born 17 July 1874 Surbiton, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. Baptised in Christ Church, Surbiton 8 August 1874. Father described as living in Surbiton Hill - occupation looks like dresser but writing is bad and I imagine is meant to be brewer!
George Douglas Woodley born 9 March 1877 Surbiton, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. Baptised in Christ Church, Surbiton 2 April 1877. Father a brewer from Surbiton.
The Camberwell records will be held in London somewhere, maybe Southwark Council - please do a check on the net.
If I have time in the future, I'll look at your cousins, but cannot promise.
Ray
-
Geoff,
Just a PS - to get the actual birth dates for your Send people, you'll have to order the birth certificates.
Ray
-
Fantastic, THANKS ever so much Ray. I have gained from you quite an amount of information that I didn't know before, especially birth and baptism dates.
If you do ever get a chance to look up the cousins info it would be equally gratefully received and useful as the family lost contact due to WW1.
I had always assumed that Septimus would be because he was number 7 child and that I would be missing some. Is it common that someone who is Septimus was so named because of the month? Probably you have seen more than me. In 1871 it looks more like Septuias (?), in1881 census he has renamed himself as Charles S, he then seems to disappear forever! Although in other parts of non-blood family I have a Sextus, Septimus, Octavia and Nonus as middle names!!!
THANKS AGAIN, ;D
Geoff.

Hiya Ray,
Just wondering if you could chase up a lead you gave me a few weeks ago.
You gleaned from the 1851 census my gggranfather Alfred Watts age 1 and his parents William and Levenia. Also you gave me Alfreds big brother, William aged 3.
HO107/1592 192 p.11 Schedule 26.
I have found in the 1881 census from lds a William Watts married to Letitia in Station Road, Cheam RG11 0757/72 p.25. His age appears to match.
Is there any chance you could look for him to see if he is the right chap possibly and to see if he had any offspring? I guess what i'm trying to do at the moment is to work forward in time as I'm quite into the idea of finding living rellies.
Also, if it's not too cheeky, from the original info you sent me I notice that William and Levinia appear to be married 13 years before the first child shown was born. Is it possible to check for other siblings in years around this? It just seems unlikely they would have waited so long to breed.
Many thanks in advance Ray
Cheers

Hello Ray,
Thanks for your incredibly generous offer. If you have the time, could you check the baptism registers for Witley for Mary Wickes born approx. 1809/1810. I'm sorry I can't be more exact - the date info. is from the 1851 census (her name is from her son's birth cert).
I've checked the catalogue for the Surrey History Centre, and it gave the following refs. for the registers - I don't know if it's useful, but I thought I'd better include it in case it was!
Item ref: WIT/3/1
Baptism register
Date(s): 1753-1812
[Starts: 17530101]
[Ends: 18121231]
Item ref: WIT/3/2
Baptism register. Including at back of book memorandum about large fish caught in Witley ponds, 1824-1834
Date(s): 1805-1832
[Starts: 18050101]
[Ends: 18321231]
I'm incredibly irritated with Mary - I only found out where she was from 5 months after I moved from Surrey to Scotland!
Many thanks,
Hannah

A while ago I was researching my half brothers family for him. I got stuck on his dads paternal side - very frustrating as it is 'recent'.
Looking for a baptism of a Frederick Alfred TAYLOR. He was born in Chertsey on 16 Aug 1912. His birth certificates state his parents as Elijah TAYLOR (farm labourer) and Louisa TANNER nee TURNER.
I had no luck on free sites - looking for any information you can provide.
Many thanks
-
Hello Ray, When you are next at the centre could you please look at a baptism record for Sarah Bennett, sept 1810 St John the Baptist Church Croydon. Anyting else on this family would be a bonus.
Thankyou so much
Sue
-
Hiya Twink,
Cannot add much more to what you have given me. I can confirm That Frederick Alfred TAYLOR was the son of Elijah and Louisa and that he was born on 16 August 1912.
He was baptised at St Peters Church, Chertsey on 22 September 1912. Elijah Taylor was a labourer and they lived at Bell Corner. (if you know Chertsey, that's the cross roads near the level crossing).

Sheryl,
Records for areas of Surrey that are now in London are held at the London Metropolitan Archives. I am only able to visit the Surrey History Centre.
All the records you have listed are held at the LMA.
The records at the LMA are split into ecclesiatical parishes. If you can work out the likely church they may have married in, it may help any researcher that goes up there for you.
Alternatively, you'll just have to order the certificates @ £7 each.

Hi Ray
I am trying to locate Christmas DORKINGS born 1807.
I believe that the 1871 census for SURREY has him as being born
in HUNTINGDONSHIRE but I have not been able to get access
to the census without incurring a significant cost.
I would like to find out where in HUNTINGDONSHIRE he was born and
where he was living in SURREY and with whom.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks so much for your kind offer! I certainly wish I lived close to a records office. Here is my "wish list". Please feel no obligation to do all or any of them.
I am looking for birth records for these four people:
Alicia Isabel Leman 1865 in Wandsworth
Joseph O'Connor 1890 in Brixton
Florence Godson 1877 in Kew
Sarah Haighton Wilks 1808 in Brixton
I am looking for death records for these two people:
Joseph O'Connor 1890 in Brixton
Frederick Noyes 1877 in Wandsworth.
Do you know if the records office holds burial records?
Thanks again for your posting, and I hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards,
Cameron Bryant
St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada
P.S. Where in Surrey are you located? My family was mainly from around Wandsworth, Putney, Kew and Brixton.

Hi,
I notice that an ALICE Dorkings was born in Yaxley, Huntingdonshire in 1812.
Perhaps this is where Christmas was born too?
It may be worth looking at the parish registers. You can order them in to view at any LDS Mormons centre. Each film costs around £2.70 for three weeks.

Hello Clickaway,
What I am looking for is a Newspaper/Coroners report on the Death of John Foster who was buried on 5th May 1836 aged 26.
and was living at the time of his death with his wife Elizabeth and 2 sons at Great Bookham, Surrey.
Any help would be much appreciated. Mistyrose
