Bedfordshire Completed Look ups / Re: 1851 census lookup request for Armstrong
« on: Tuesday 01 May 18 00:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi Paul

I would definitely be interested in knowing the details on the deeds you have. 
Eli Armstrong was my gggrandfather, and I have made several visits to Thurleigh to visit his grave, and those of other family members.  If you check out Thurleigh Village website in the genealogy section, you'll see that I have done most of the census transcriptions.

My email address is (*) if you would like to use it.

Hi Ruth

Eureka!!!!!

I tried familysearch again, and not only found Agnes's baptism, but also that of 3 siblings who we didn't know anything about.

Thanks for your help.

South Africa / ancestry24 search for Agnes Ellen Wade baptism
« on: Saturday 26 January 13 17:59 GMT (UK)  »

I found a record for the above baptism on ancestry24 yesterday, the same day that I discovered the website was closing.  I can't get a subscription, so can't access the details of the baptism.  Can anyone help, please?  The record is from St. Francis Simon's Town Baptisms - 1813 - 1932.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Janet

I'm also a member of this esteemed family!  To answer your question about Isaac's wife Elizabeth Hill - she died June qtr 1877 Ampthill, and he married Martha Anderson b. abt 1841 Luton, in Mar qtr 1878 Luton (both references from free BMD website, and Martha's age from the 1881 census).

I convinced my Dad to take the DNA test a couple of years ago - he agreed to do so as long as it didn't cost him one of the few hairs he had left!!  Hope your Dad will get it done as it's about time we connected with Thomas and Phoebe.

Best of luck

Judi (nee Armstrong)

My goodness - you guys are up early, aren't you??  Well - you were when I started this email!

Thanks for the responses.

Wendy - where do I find the Parish and Probate database on ancestry?  I've had a look through the complete list of databases and can't find it - mind you, since the latest "improvement" on the website I find it awkward to find AWT!

I'm a transcriber for freeBMD so already know the merits of that wonderful site.

The FHS in Vancouver may be manned with people with some knowledge of how to use the system - my local one doesn't seem to be.  (It's also by appointment only.)  The library is a far more pleasant place to view the microfiche copy I have of the Thurleigh parish records.  (no sitting in a dark room lit only by computer screens as is the FHC - is that normal?)

I'll go and have a look at FreeREG now.

Good morning all

I haven't been having much success getting my replies on the website - so I'm trying again!

Obviously my original research, done with Jacqui from genes, which gave William as the son of Phoebe Wisson was incorrect - as I discovered when I was sent some Parish records recording Phoebe's son's death.  If anyone else has the Phoebe information on their tree, then they either came to the same incorrect conclusion as Jacqui and I did, or they copied ours.

If William b. 1791/2, son of William Armstrong and Elizabeth Franklin is "my" William, half-brother to Thomas, Sarah and Eli, then I guess I'm connected to Wendy as she says she's connected to John.  I already know I'm connected to John through Hannah & Sophia Partridge and Charles Armstrong.  I'm trying to research backwards, but finding it almost impossible.  Living in Vancouver I don't have the ability to visit Records Offices, and my LDS Centre is anything but helpful.  (They may be OK with U.S. and Canada research?)

Any other suggestions gratefully received.

Judi

I'm descended from William's (1792) son Eli, Eli's son William, William's son Frederick, Frederick's son Douglas - then me!

I know this is getting a bit modern for what we're all looking for, but do you think that William b. 1820 was the son of William 1792 and brother of Eli?  He's buried in the same row as Eli in the graveyard at St. Peter's in Thurleigh, along with Eli's wife Mary Ann, and William's granddaughter Jinnie.  (the only 4 Armstrong's with decipherable headstones that I could find there).

Right John, 1807 - don't know where I got 1797 from.

Back to my reading now.
