Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Will of Elizabeth Emerlie of Helmdon dated 1657 (PCC)
« on: Yesterday at 20:26 »
I've been doing a bit of digging around, and I've found a number of people called Collis associated with the family. So, though I'm still not yet certain, I'm coming round to the idea that the name in the will is a phonetic rendering of Collis, such as "Kolous" so maybe more like Vance suggested.

Thanks both for the input. To be honest I wasn't even initially convinced that the initial letter was a K, but you both didn't hesitate. I see the point about the impossibly numerous variations of the letter "e", but I think I've still a way to go before I can definitively cross-reference it with other documents.
THanks again,

Could anyone please help with the name of the testator's daughter in this extract please (I suspect that it's a family name). Many thanks!

Dear Both,

Thanks for the explanations regarding "of this parish". It would havd taken me ages to get there.

Can I ask though what exactly the index is that you mentioned?

Thanks again,

Richarf

Northamptonshire / Re: Rushden - Succoth Baptist Chapel - Church Books

Thanks both for your replies!

I'd seen the Rushden Hearts and Soles website but not the one for the museum.

I've now popped an email off to the museum to see if they have any ideas, and I guess I could also email the Rushden & District Society. For the latter, I think I'll wait till I hopefully hear from the Park Road Baptist Church as to whether they happen to have the books or not (Ringstead Baptist Church does still retain its own books interestingly).

For information, I've also tried the following catalogues to no avail:
TNA Discovery
Angus Library and Archives
Evangelical Church (including the Strict Baptist Historical Library)
Northants Archives.

Fingers crossed ...

Northamptonshire / Rushden - Succoth Baptist Chapel - Church Books
« on: Tuesday 08 April 25 17:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

Would anyone happen to know if the church books for Succoth Baptist Chapel in Rushden still exist, and if so where they are held.

I'm specifically interested in the period starting 1780 onwards.

Many thanks!

Thank you both!

Happily, I've already seen the minutes for the chapel, which provide for some interesting insights, even if they don't quite prove some family relationships that I was hoping they would!

Hi Maddys52,

Thanks for the link, that's already extremely helpful.

The baptist chapel marked 'General' is the Old Baptist Chapel, which was already there in the 18th century and so would have been where Richard Grindon was pastor before he moved to Ringstead (which was a Particular Chapel).

Which of course necessarily implies that the chapel marked 'Particular' must be the Bethlehem chapel founded by Thomas the son in the 1830s.

For the record, If I recall rightly, the two congregations joined in the 1930s.
