Hi again Paulene  :)

I read the article, very good especially showing Weldon in detail.

Hidden away are good links for us Northamptonshire folk and it is folk
like yourself and Heather and Wendy (to name just three here) who assist
others in finding them too.

Sorry for sounding stupid, but I am confused!

What information might I be able to get from this link? Should I purchase the article? What is the relationship between Bollard Samuel and John Stevenson?

Thank you.

Ahmed

Hi Ahmed

Sorry to have confussed you.

The link I gave is an index of people noted in the Northampton Mercury which
at times mentions areas and also places (in this case Weekley Mills).

The actual people will not be related to John Stevenson but the article may have
said where in the village the Mill was.

It maybe an idea to contact Alan who can also be found on
http://www.northants1841.fsnet.co.uk/ and ask if he can tell you if that
is the case.

Hi again Ahmed.

I have visited Huntingdon Record Office as many others here must have also.

It is a very tiny search room and as it says in the information Paulene put the
link to it is always best to e-mail or ring for a machine otherwise you will be
turned away.

Although small it has endless records to view on shelves which have typed
transcriptions as well as being able to order original documents.

The staff are really friendly and I am sure will assist you with your research
so you get some results.

Be aware that you have to leave the premises in the lunch hour.

Hi Sandy,

Thank you for that!

Would the office have all sorts of records? For example, birth certificates, death certificates, wills, marriage certificates, newspaper articles, baptism records etc?
I have never been to a record office and don't really know what kind of things I can find in there!

Thank you.
