PaulaToo's Scavenger Hunt - Everyone Welcome To Join In.

just a simple question

Winslow

are there more than one ?

maybe he wasn't of Winslow Bucks but of Winslow elsewhere

did you contact the place that has clergy men records  (was it Lambeth Palace) because i know we know about Samuel and its his father Rick we were after but there may be some record to him on Samuels applying to be a man of the church

'Today we had a young man of ... stock apply to become a minister which would be all very well if only his fatehr .... was/wasn't .........'

for example

Haven't gone further with that yet, toni*
It's Richard son of Richard of Winslow that became Rev Ric... I think we have a Samuel, but it's at a bit different time... heck, can't remember, will have to read it all back... but you are right, Lambeth may have something on Ric son of Ric...
Rev Ric, and two sisters were born in Winslow, Bucks, so I reckon that's the Winslow we want. His Dad probably moved there....from just down the road....somewhere....
But then again...

Richard /Samuel
thats what i meant 

[PaulaToo]

Thought it might be, toni*
There are so many of them...and a good percentage are rev gents, between them and the Denchfields it's a wonder anyone else had a look in...

Latest update....
Lesanne, in message 30 you found a will for John Purchas of Bierton...

I contacted Bucks asking if I could have a copy....

It's taken months, but they finally got back to me, with apologies for the delay..

'We have checked the will you have listed and unfortunately it is in a fragile condition and cannot be photocopied.  If you are able to visit the centre you can look at it in the search rooms.  However, we do have the registered copy of the will (DAWe: 19 41), and you are able to take a photograph of this with a digital camera for a standard cost of £5.00. '

So all is not lost, except that it will take some doing to get me to Aylesbury...
Oh well, if we do get a summer this year.....

[Lesanne]

  Can't they send you a copy image of the registered copy, by email 

[PaulaToo]

Hi Lesanne,
Nope, looks like I have got to go and pay £5 for the privilege of taking my own photo....
Rotten darned lot, I thought they would have photocopied the copy and sent it to me....

[Lesanne]

  What do our friends in way off lands do then. Surely they can't be expected to show up and take a photo.... 
Some RO's are really very helpful, others are, well...     

[PaulaToo]

Ah HA!
No I haven't strayed onto the wrong Hunt thread....

If I can't get to the Bucks place in Aylesbury, there is a list of researchers who may do it for me...
See...

So they do try to help...ish

I had a look...and another look and ages later found them...

Let's see what the summer is like first.
