Essex Completed Lookup Requests / LookUp Needed Essex Archives
« on: Saturday 26 July 08 23:33 BST (UK) »
I have tracked my 3xGt grandfather to Essex from Tasmania.
William MUMFORD originally WILLIS was tried 1st July 1835 for horse stealing.
Would somebody mind looking for additional information.
The following references have been suggested by the Archives.
"We hold the records of the Essex Court of Quarter Sessions, including those for the year 1834. We checked the Quarter Sessions Process Book of Indictments, 1832-1835 (Reference: Q/SPb 21) and found an entry (page 204) stating that William Mumford otherwise called William Willis, late of the parish of Little Bardfield, Essex, 'puts himself' [put forward a plea of] guilty to a charge of stealing a gelding, and was convicted and sentenced to transportation for life. As this volume has been digitally imaged and published on our website (www.essexcc.gov.uk/ero)" I have seen this page.
It is possible that a little more relevant information might be found in the Quarter Sessions Book, 1829-1837 (Reference: Q/SMg 37), the Quarter Sessions Roll, 1 July 1834 (Reference: Q/SR 1053) and any report of the proceedings of the Session contained in the relevant issue of the local newspaper, the Chelmsford Chronicle (Reference: T/B 171). These are not available for viewing at our website, but if you think it worthwhile, you could commission a search in them

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Norman Markland, Grace Sisson
« on: Tuesday 11 April 06 00:06 BST (UK) »
Trying to locate Norman Markland b.1894 m1920 Holy Trinity, Grace Sisson b.1894 d.1929
only child Howard James Markland b abt 1929.
Mother died of complications from birth of son.
I am told that they immigrated to Canada where Grace died.
She is listed on the family tombstone in Old Preston Cemetery "also Grace wife of Norman MARKLAND died April 13th 1929 aged 34 years,"
I have a photograph of Howard taken in Friargate aged 2yrs 3mths.
Can someone confirm where Grace died and what happened to family? did they ever leave England or did they come back?
