Norfolk / Re: James & Elizabeth COE c1750 Morningthorpe
« on: Wednesday 26 March 25 15:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, again. Keziah2.
It is a while since i have been active on here but now find myself with time and health to do so.

In regard to James & Elizabeth, i understand that it is a very old post, and I am not sure if you have progressed these 2 as I am also stuck with their unfindable? marriage. I did a bit of digging on the 1736 marriage and find that Hart.... Is in fact Hartest. I got there by copying the film # into LDS and slimming the search down by Hart* as a wildcard and up popped Hartest. In my mind that is ruled out because it is way to far down from their area. In addition I have been through the scans for Morningthorpe and find that there appears to be 2 Henry's baptised, but without a burial between them. And also 2 infant burials in 1745 & 1746. This would push the marriage back a couple of years at least. Bit stuck as there are many gaps in the scans as you probably know.
For want of a better option I am using a Bap in Lopham for James on the 24/02/1715/16. It nearly fits with his burial age.

England / Re: James Probert b. about 1783
« on: Tuesday 14 May 13 20:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi Hailey

In addition to the National Archives route, which i guess is a non runner for you if you are not in England?
You could try searching the likes of:
www.freereg.org.uk
This is a register of all parish records for all counties in the UK.  I hasten to add that it is far from complete but does cover a fair percentage of the UK.

I did a quick search for James Probert with a +/- 5years of the stated birth year and there are only 2 answers - Both of which occur in Monmouthshire (Part of wales).  Not very scientific i know but it may show that that surname is predominantly found in that part of the UK.
If you have any clues in the rest of his history that he may have come from Wales you have a starting point.

Hope this helps

Gloucestershire / Re: Ethelbert WASTY - baptised 1695 at Rodborough

Hi,
I cannot help with the baptism but found the following marriage in Minchinhampton which is about 4 miles from Rodborough.

Ethelbirtt Wastly & Elizabeth Parchar - 4 May 1691.  This comes from Philimores so no further info.

Hope this helps

Buckinghamshire / Re: Did George and Alice Rogers come from Buckinghamshire?

Hi
According to the entry in Vol 4 of Philimores Marriages for Chalfont St. Giles:

Geo Rogers & Alice Stevens married on 15/02/1777.

Looks about right, i guess as you have the baptism dates you can see if this is too early or too late?

As you probably know, Philimores does not give any other info.

Hope this helps

Hi
There is an entry for him in Ancestry in the 'National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations)'  Right name and year.  Unfortunately i do not have an up to date subscription but i am sure someone will look at it and it may say where he was buried.

Hope this helps

Surrey / Re: Frances Lawrence, married in Farnham, Surrey, 1803
« on: Thursday 18 April 13 20:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi
A quick search in FreeReg for her name under baptisms in Farnham does not show any for her herself.  But it does give a couple with teh same name as the mother.  These are in the late 1790s. I guess it could be her from an earlier marriage or even her mother?

The marriage also appears with witness names etc.

Lawrence (with soundex) returns quite a few with that surname in Farnham, so you may be lucky.

Hope this helps

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Re: JOHN FRY born 1807/1810 HEREFORDSHIRE UK
« on: Wednesday 06 March 13 19:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Not exactly sure what info you have or seek.

However a search in FreeReg has the marriage you mention and appears to have at least 4 baptisms soon after.

The search i did was in Somerset, with the fathers name under baptism and the results follow.

Hope this helps a little.
