Sussex Lookup Requests / Lewes Will Ref. LEWRY
« on: Monday 27 August 12 15:57 BST (UK)  »
If anyone is going to East Sussex Record Office please could some one look up the document reference of a Will for me.

The will was proved at Lewes 15 Nov 1856 and is for William LEWRY of Slaugham.   I already have a copy of the will which someone kindly gave me, but I don't have the document reference.

Thank you very much in anticipation

Sussex Lookup Requests / Will - James BROMFIELD or BROOMFIELD - Reference Look up

Thank you Roy.  That is indeed the chap.   It's a copy of his Will I need so I was hoping someone could look up the document reference in East Sussex Record Office so that I could apply to them for a copy.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Will - James BROMFIELD or BROOMFIELD - Reference Look up

If anyone is planning to visit East Sussex Archives please could they look up a document reference for me.  I'm looking for the Will of a James BROMFIELD or BROOMFIELD which I think was proved circa 1774. 

I don't know where he was living at the time of his death but I believe the Will contains references to my confusing and elusive SIFFLEET ancestors so I'm keen to send off for a copy.

Many thanks in advance.

Thankyou Carol.  That is very kind of you.  I think they will probably fit in somewhere along the line so I will store them up for future use.

Regards

Thank you Nottsgirl1 and Victor Harvey.  You've both been very kind and it's all good information.  Nottsgirl - please don't go to the trouble of typing up the Laxton records because I have them all in a notebook, but it was good of you to go to so much trouble. 

Francis b. 1709 son of Robert may be mine but unfortunately there are other options which is why I'm running round in circles with this family.  It's all very complicated.  As mentioned I have sibling HAZARDS in the shape of John and Elizabeth (m. Daniel NEWTON).  From memory a Francis & Elizabeth HAZARD bap a John & Elizabeth at Sutton on Trent in the 1720s.  Are they the same John & Elizabeth - I don't know, hence the hope for an age at death.  There is a marriage licence for this couple which suggests that Francis was born abt. 1692.  Looking at the 1692 baptisms there is an irritatingly unreadable bit just at the critical point so I can't tell whether this Francis was bap. at Laxton also.  So far I haven't found any other candidates.  The big question is, is my particular Francis the one bap. in 1709 and if so, who, when and where did he marry?  Or, is mine the one born 1692 ish and whose baptism is possibly in a crease in the Laxton registers?

There are times when Genealogy is very frustrating   :)

It might be worth looking to see if there is a grave stone, I know Nottingham Archives have some Transcripts of Monuments so I'll have a look next time I'm there later in the week.

Thank you.  That would be very kind. Monumental Inscriptions are very useful.  I know I have a Francis HAZARD (father of Alexander bap 1745 at Laxton) but there's a bit in the middle that is a bit hazy and I'm trying to identify which Francis is mine and who the other family members are.  My Alexander is the only baptism entry for Francis at Laxton so he must have lived elsewhere - poss Sutton on Trent.  Annoyingly, the film of Laxton registers shows a deep crease just at the spot where I think my Francis may be (1692) and I can't read it.  Such is the challenge of Family History.

Thanks nottsgirl1,

This could well be the lady as the date falls between the date her brother's will was written in 1801 and the date it was proved in 1804.  Pity there was no age at death on either her or her brother's burial.  I was hoping for clues as to parents as I'm thinking that Elizabeth and her brother John may be the children of Francis HAZARD and who were baptised in Sutton on Trent.

Have to try another tactic   :)

Hi Damian,

Don't know the answer to that one, sorry - it's the HAZARD angle I was looking at.  However, 1726 birth date is probably about right.  The marriage between Daniel NEWTON & Elizabeth HAZARD took place at Bilsthorpe in 1752.  Details as folls:

Source: Parish Register:  Bilsthorpe, Notts (St Margaret)
Text From Source: "...Married 1752. Daniel Newton & Eliza: Hazard  .....  with Banns May 13th ...."

Not sure this helps you at all.

Wiltshire / Index to Chippenham St Andrew burials
« on: Monday 20 June 11 19:08 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know whether an index exists to burials at Chippenham St Andrew?  If so, where is it located please. 

I've had to give up straining my eyesight on 16mm microfilm for my very elusive Thomas & Betty HIPWORTH who probably died some time between 1800 and 1837 and I need to resort to an index if possible.

Many thanks

Sue
