Hi Jebber,

I have had a look but I don't find the website easy to navigate around! Is there an easy way to search or do you have to look through every parish record in case by chance you come across what you are looking from?

Any tips?

Thanks

I have not found his baptism in any of the Hoo PR's, neither can I find his marriage in 1881.

This looks like his birth registration in 1861, depending on the time of year a person was born the age in the census can be a year out, also it is quite common to find a middle name not showing on the birth registration, I have quite a few registered with only one name, then the acquired a middle name later on.

Name: EDWARDS,  John
Registration district: Hoo
County: Kent
Year of registration: 1861
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun Volume no: 2A
Page no: 333

No it isnt indexed, so you have to look through the actual registers fro each parish - the same as you would if you visited the Record Office, but with the bonus that you can do it online from your own home.
We are spoilt these days by having so many things indexed, just putting in a name and clicking - not so long ago even censuses had to be searched manually.
But many, if not most, records still have to be searched parish by parish - otherwise you run the risk of homing in on someone whose details are similar to your persons, who happens to have been indexed on some website, when the real person is elsewhere but just not indexed anywhere!
Going through the PRs often has the added bonus of finding other family members as you go.


Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

I have managed to find this information on his marriage to Mary Ann Barty:

Name                    John Edmund Edwards
Year of Marriage            1881
Quarter of Marriage    Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration District    Hoo
Registration County    Kent
Spouse's Surname    Only available for records after 1912
Volume Number            2A
Volume Page            849

I have tried looking through the parish records, but cannot find anything. This may be due to me not really knowing what I am doing! Can anyone help me?

One particular site seems to give hints that he may be from a HUTCHIN(g/s) family.

I found a baptism in Stoke on the CityArk site-I think it's image 168.

First time trying a tiny url:

Hi Maureen,

Thank you for your help. I think this is correct. I have found this information on other people's trees too. Just wanted to see some evidence before adding it to my own.

I wonder why all their children had the Edwards surname instead of their fathers name Hutchins?

Thanks
Vicky
