Hi Nick,

  Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. What I'm really looking for is evidence of where in England they were born, who their parents were and if possible site of their names on a passenger list. It may be a tall order ...:)

US Lookup Requests / Melson/Painter
« on: Monday 26 October 09 23:51 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find details of a John Melson born in England abt 1645 who went to Virginia I think on the headright system, he married Elizabeth Painter also believed to be from England in abt 1672 in America.

Any further info would be appreciated.

It's okay Roobarb, I've sorted it now, in fact I now have copies of the original handwritten baptism,marriage & burial parish records for Gayton,Staffs from 1593 -1837,plus three other Staffs parishes in book form.

Thanks anyway,

Linda

I've just received scanned copies of some microfiche from a recently discovered relative, for the Fradley family in Staffordshire, only thing is I can't quite make out all the column headings across the top.I'm okay up to the one headed Town,Parish, but after that there come three columns with a single letter as a header and dates in the columns...can anyone tell me what these three columns are? I'm thinking the letters are B C and then the third could be anything I can't make it out at all. Some of these columns instead of a date just say Child. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Cheers, Linda Rhead

I was going to attach a copy but they've been sent to me as BMP files not Jpegs..anybody know how to change to Jpeg?.... :-[

Hi Janet( & anyone else researching the Fradley family)...Linda here...well to say I'm confused is an understatement, so confused in fact that I'm thinking of deleting everyone after Solomon & Benjamin as I'm no longer sure of their parentage, and starting again. Most folk on Ancestry.co.uk have, like us, their parents as William Fradley & Anne Podmore, but on the birth records for both Solomon & Benjamin parents are given as William Fradley & Margaret ( no maiden name given)...they're also given as parents to Hannah Fradley ( b1803 if memory serves without checking my tree) Now the only marriage record I can find for a Wm F and a Margaret is years before Benjamin's and Solomon's birth which is not to say that that isn't possible, but if it's right then we have completely the wrong William as their father.

Anyone with any helpful information please do get in touch.

Regards,

Linda

Hi,Kerry,

  Had  a look at your Boatmen website today..I loved it.....:)

It was great to see my ancestors listed up there. Mine are the Fradleys.Benjamin Fradley born 1796 was the brother of my three times great grandfather Solomon, who was also a Boatman until he became an Inn-Keeper in or around 1851. Do you know if any of the photos on the website have any of the Fradley family on them?

Linda..:)
