Kent Lookup Requests / Kennington Parish Register Lookup BOURNE please
« on: Tuesday 29 January 08 23:57 GMT (UK)  »
I am searching for a birth record for William Bourne of Kennington, probably circa 1780.  I know he was married 1802 in Kennington. 

I would greatly appreciate info from anyone with access to the parish registers or who is going to have a look through Kennington for their surnames.

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Great Chart Parish Register Lookup BOURNE

Thank you Zacktyr!  That is the correct marriage.  I had just "Ashford," and their children were b. Great Chart, so I was assuming that he was from there also, but now I know that is not so.  I think I will start a new post regarding Kennington.   Thanks so much!

Sussex / Re: Cellarers' Roll of Battle Abbey 1275-1513

This is interesting.  And thanks for the ancestry tip, I did find an index there.  It would seem that The Duchess of Cleveland (who lived at the abbey in, I think, Victorian times) extracted surnames from these very old documents for the purpose of determining Norman lineage.

I had found that the rolls contain "records of "wine bought for St Martin's feast and other occasions for guests, or "for wine at Martinmas, Christmas, and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as well as a 1382 record for "distributing to the poor on St Martin's Day," which would mean little genealogical interest. 

Perhaps these documents contain various information.  The wine records are likely though, as my understanding of a cellarer is a person who supplies wine and food at the monastery. 

I keep thinking the original must be Latin given the date and that they are pertaining to a monastic community.

Wow - thanks!
What is the "at the house of" referring to?  Does this mean the same as "and his family"? 
And he is setting money aside for entertainment at the funeral?

Sussex / Cellarers' Roll of Battle Abbey 1275-1513
« on: Saturday 22 September 07 02:24 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know anything about the Cellarers' Rolls of Battle Abbey 1275-1513?  I'm wondering what kind of information it contains and also if it is written in Latin. 
Thanks in advance!

Fantastic JAP, that certainly clears it up.   It would seem there was not a husband in mind for Debra then, correct?

Prue - I *thought* it might have said that, but I didn't think someone would claim to have a "perfect mind"!!  Geez!  

Thanks very much!
