Hello,

Chas, I have been to Nagshead and, yes, it is only a road with a few houses.  I spoke to a couple of the residents and have got an e-mail address from one of them and they will contact me if they find out anything.  The problem for me is that I live up in Bolton, Lancashire and have only been able to get down there once since I started doing this research as I have a very old dog who cannot travel far and who I cannot leave so I will have to put my next visit off for a bit. Many thanks for your input, I really do appreciate the time you put in,

Valda,  I am quite new to this research so I will read and inwardly digest what you have kindly posted and I am sure I will be able to make some sense of it. The web sites you quote are new to me so I am on a great learning curve.  From idiot to dork in 2 years.  Still, we all have to learn don't we.  Many thanks and I will post again when I get it all down.   

Wonderful site, brilliant people.   Lilian

Nowt to do with your problem but it's interesting to note that Avening and Cherington are in the Domesday book - Aveninge: King's land with 5 mills and a hawk's eerie:  Ceringtone: Geoffrey from Miles Crispin  mill.

Regards

Chas

Hello everybody, Its me again with an update on my SELBY relation.  You were right, it was Selby. I sent for another birth cert and it was there  Whoopeeeeee.  I have since found dozens of ancestors and living relations so very well done.XXXXXXXXX

I have another problem regarding writing on a death cert but I don't know whether to post it here or somewhere else.  It is not regarding Selby.    Please advise.

You can either put it on this message but then it might only attract the few of us who have been answering your original question and we might not be able to help you, or you can start a new message which will be seen by other people but perhaps not us.
Your choice really.

Regards

Valda

Hi Lilian, I hope that you get this message. I think I have also come accrses you on GenesReunited. I cannot help with your direct query, but I have added some details onto GenesReunited as I am descended from James Hobbs, who is my gt (x3) grandfather. Charles daughter Emily married Richard Ogden, and their son Thomas Ogden was my grandfather.

I also found a post on CuriousFox from the great grtandson of Charles and Catherine Hobbs, but it was in 2005, but I emailed anyway. It would be great to hear from you.
