hi don't know if you are still active on roots web or not but....

i have found out that Simon Finch and his wife Ann were my 8th ggp's

whilst i have as yet to find his  baptism
what is clear though is that

Simon was buried 3rd of Jan 1733 in Kersey,

and this released Ann to go on and marry

Thomas hall(s) on the 20 may 1733 in Kersey.

Ann died 12 Sep 1763 in Kersey.


Thomas was possible baptised

22 Sep 1698 in stoke by Nayland parents Thomas and Sarah

it looks as if he married some one called Mary around 1723 but i have failed to find the marriage and likewise his burial remains elusive

This is as far as i have got with simon and Ann at this time other than they had 4 known children

Simon and John were baptised 11 may 1717,
Samuel was baptised 26 OCT 1719
Edward was baptised 26 Jun 1721 all in Kersey

i descend via john.

hi

my connection is via lucinda who married fred worseldine (a convict) his sister was my 3 x gg mother.

i have the hampshire bmd discs issued by the hampshire genecological society which has lucinders baptism on and copled with the fact i live just on the edge of london with i direct link to hampshire and other record offices some of which i can reach in less tan two hours just wish i had more time (i,m asingle mum)

all you need do to find familysearch pilot is go to

familysearch.org

go to second tab on the blue band at top

'search records'

run your curser over it and the options will appear. its the second one down

choosing this will open a new window so using a browser like ie7 (or higher) or monzilla is the best choice. in this way you have both the normal family search where the igi is along with the info submitted by users and the pilot which containe ONLY the NEW  and OLD transcribed recordswhich have been taken from parish records and contain NO user submitted records. the site as a whole is under going change so you might from time to time get down times while they either add records or change the interface. the site will into become new.familysearch.org goole that to learn more or goole familysearch labs for the verious enharnsments they plan to add.

as to the sailing some info is on the net by just putting in the name of the ship and i also use ancestry for a lot of my research along with the record  offices in london and the home counties and help from others who have certs that i can't obtain or aford for my non direct ancestors. so any help would be greatfully recived.

my tree is up on verious sites but the most often updated is on rootsweb and my data base is wandering. just put in lucinda DOLBY's name and you should find it.

hi

well i have been doing some checking and the thomas i listed above IS DEFENTLY NOT your thomas as i found your thomas and that thomas both in the 1901 census!

have you got the marriage cert yet as once i have the name of his father i will be able to track down his baptism as long as it was not a non coformist one that is. some of the westbrooks were methodists and salvation armyists.
still think that we will find a connection some where as westbrook in hampshire were not all that common
