I went into 4 shops locally,  no brass cleaner, last one had the wadding which I had to buy, don't like it but it did the job till I can get the proper  brass cleaner liquid.
Personally  I don't own any brass

Heard an "expert" on TV recently saying that Brown Sauce works if you don't have Brasso, or other suitable product.

I haven't tried it but worth attempting on an inconspicuous spot

Hertfordshire / Re: Thomas Warman/Warmon m Mary Rowley at Standon, 30th April 1705
« on: Friday 22 August 25 14:38 BST (UK)  »
I've also been looking for a birth & marriage in Standon but much earlier (no luck so far)
Consequently I have a copy of the PR's so checked 1705...

I have found the marriage record you're looking for and I can understand why it was so hard to transcribe.
It seems to have been written as an afterthought as the first marriage in 1705 between John Mils? and Margaret R..  was dated May 29

April 30th and groom & bride's details should be before May   ::)

Good Luck - hope you can make sense of this

Suffolk / Re: Suffolk parish registers to go online?
« on: Tuesday 22 July 25 09:17 BST (UK)  »

From Suffolk RO FAQ:
 "When will I be able to access the records online?
It is hoped that Suffolk’s main parish registers will be published online in early 2025
with other collections of local interest to follow. The images will not be released on
Ancestry’s website until the project has been completed i.e., there will be one launch,
rather than a series of mini launches, in date tranches or deanery blocks. "

Therefore one can only assume that 2025 is rather optimistic as a release date if ALL RECORDS are to be released at the same time.

Will one live to see this miracle EVER happen?

Can anyone help with this word?

Name    John Dearlove
Registration Quarter    Apr-May-Jun
Death Registration Place    Hackney, London, United Kingdom
Death Date    Jun. 1860
Inferred Death Place    London, United Kingdom
Volume    1b
Page    219


This John DEARLOVE was reported to be 47 years old (GRO) so probably not your man

It would be unlikely that he was refused permission to marry only because his wife was alive in UK.
The laws associated with a 7 year transportation sentence would mean both could remarry.
However any initial problem was rectified in October 1852
TROVE newspaper search has reported that the sanction was lifted in October 1852 so John & Mary were free to marry. Note that he only had Ticket of Leave in 1852.
Did they marry?

CONVICT DEPARTMENT.
Comptroller-General's Office, 11th October, 1852.
The Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased to withdraw his sanction to the marriage
of the under-mentioned persons ;—
John Dearlove. T. L„ "Maria Somes" and Mary Evans, "Anna Maria",
both residing in the Hobart District.
J.S. HAMPTON, Comptroller-General

Was Mary Evans of the "Anna Maria" the same lady as Maria Evans of the "Duke of Cornwall"?

EDIT: Amended to add extra info
