Thank you for the help mckha489. In view of the other posts I tried to delete but theres no way to do so. So I've had to CENSOR my post. Not quite sure how I'd ever find someone on the site without naming them, but hey ho. Thanks again,

Hertfordshire / Searching for any info about, and copies of work by, historian CENSORED

Hi all

I am searching for work by and written by CENSORED. She was a historian/genealogist living Hemel Hempstead, in the 90's. I believe she was extremely well known around Hemel amongst like minded people.

I believe she is actually a distant cousin of mine.

In the mid 90's my cousin spoke to her regarding work she had done tracing the Kingham's/Slough and Slowe families from Hemel, Great Gaddesden and Flamsterad and surrounding areas. She had done a huge amount of research on this, and self published "A Slowe Start" in 1994.

I have a partial copy of this, but would very much like to get a complete copy, as it relates to my ancestors up to my 13th great grandfather.

I'd also like to know if CENSORED is still around, perhaps someone could enlighten me?

The only place I could find any details about her was in "Genealogical research directory : national & international. 1995", which is on archive.org under "Contributors and addresses" - CENSORED
Any help would be appreciated.

Paul

Thank you Lady Di, this has helped enormously.

Ancestry and FindMyPast are throwing up huge amounts of incorrect hints. There are in fact at least 3, and possibly 4, William Sextons.

The 3 I've untangled with your help are:

1) My 3GG William (31 Jul 1803 - ?) from Frogmore End, Apsley, wife Elizabeth Anstee.

2) The baptist minister William (Abt. 1806 - 21 Feb 1874) from Tring. 1st wife Hannah Wright. 2nd wife Elizabeth Wright Horwood (not known if a relation to first wife, or whether she was a spinster or widower). The first baptist church in Tring was in Frogmore End. There is a road named Frogmore End (now Street) in Tring as well as in Apsley. This is  the cause of a lot of confusion I think.

3) Another William born in Chesham (18 May 1804 - 11 Jun 1846) who was the son of another minister Rev. Edward Sexton. (Grave in St Mary's church Chesham) - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/180922588/william-sexton

There could be a fourth but I won't go there just for now lol

HI, I am sorry it's taken so long to get back.

Yes I am on Ancestry and have taken. DNA test. On searching DNA matches there I have found you. We are 4th cousins.

I still haven't solved the Brown in Sexton Brown issue, but hopefully we'll get there eventually. I did find it confusing that William Sexton was listed as Baptist minister on the Probate record, when no mention of it occurred in previous records and he lived in Hemel, not Tring.

However, I have found info on the Tring baptist Church website that very much confirms that he WAS a baptist minister, and there was actually a baptist church in Frogmore Cresecent in Apsley!

Hi, I know you started this thread many years ago, but did you ever manage to find the source of the BROWN part of the tree?

George Sexton Brown was my 2nd great uncle, his father being my great great great grandfather, so we could be distant cousins. I have an extensive tree on Ancestry and Wikitree, so maybe we could share info?
