MESSENGER Surname

[Annamc]

Hi Harold1066, I have a feeling that we have been in contact before on another site.
I have this family of Froud/Messenger in my tree. I've plenty on Froud, but not a lot on Messenger.
I also have quite a few Messengers in Stokenchurch, but cannot make a link.

Hi Annamac,

Think we have swapped information before via G-R.

Except for some information supplied by TREES through her wonderful web-site I have not done a lot on the Berkshire side of the tree.   How live closer to Berkshire will need to think about getting to the Record Office and doing some research to tidy up some loose ends and no doubt pick-up some others.

Trees,

The John Messenger is a new one on me - suspect therefore he is down a side shoot and Wendy and her sister who did the original research some years ago, before computers, did not pick up on him. 

Since I have never been to Berkshire's Record Office I think a trip there is needed to see what additional information is available and what other entries they missed.

Hi Randy, Harold 1066 and Annamac
Have you seen this its at Berkshire RO
Coroner's records Wantage Division cat. case paper ref COR/WT/ 1/11/26 date 14 Sep 1885 Robert MESSENGER Chaddleworth
I think this was Robert son of Joseph and Jane who died age 63 Sep qtr 1885 Wantage 2c 171
I notice on the Surnames interest board some one looking for MESSENGERs in Oxfordshire so I've PM'ed incase our Robert was from across the county boarder.  By the way make sure you put your surname interests on the list (click at the bottom of this page Your Surname interests)

Hi Harold.  No, I haven't seen the coroner report you referenced, but I will look it up. I've been very busy the last many months so haven't had a chance to look into much, and actually didn't remember I had joined this board!  Got to get better control of my time...!  Interestingly, I am on a sort term work assignment in the London area and one of my goals while I was here was to get to the BRO.  Wouldn't you know, I've yet to do it.  I hope to be able to do that in the next few weeks.

Also hope to get more time to really look at all the queries on this board. The Messengers in the St. Andrew's window are mine and I do have some info on them, but it was gathered quite a while ago and I need to convert it over from my very old Mac to my current PC so I can do something with it.  One of these days...

Welcome back rgmess Harold1066, Annmac and I all have Robert MESSENGER and Elizabeth nee FROUD on our trees are they the Robert and Elizabeth you speak of? If so we would love to share our research with you and like to know how the "Window"Messengers fit in. With 4 of us working together we should be able to get some results.
I have asked if anyone knows if the MIs for Chaddleworth have been transcribed and where they can be found but so far no answers
