Hello Zimmer
Would love to have some information regarding Benjamin Ernest.  It is part of the family that I do not know much about.  Only found out the other day that I had another great uncle.

Cheers
Munro

Linda,
I will find out the correct location in Ware, and let you know later.  Someone else visited the graveyard.
I will also sort out the dates etc.  In respect of the Medcalfs - nothing in the 1820's

Hi Lady Di,
I am also a Medcalf, and my home town is Enfield, and directly related to the Benjamin mentioned in your initial post - I believe my great, great great grandfather.  I am a descendent through Benjamin and Benjamin Pearce Medcalf. 
My parents have been visiting HALs over last few weeks, and we have a number of photos of Ware Chapel, gravestones, etc. 
Would like to find out more about the Medcalfs, and maybe I can fill in some missing details, or help with the research.

Hi Munro and Zimmer,

Welcome to RootsChat - the best site on the net!

I am so thrilled to hear from a family member - I have sent you botha Personal Message on this site, with my contact details.
If you cannot access it or need assistance please leave me another message here.

I have been looking for the descendants of Katie, Sidney and Herbert for ages.

Great News
Look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Di

Hi munro,
                 Is this Ware cemetary that is out of the town centre on the way to the A10? I believe this was opened in the 1850s. Do you have dates for this list of Medcalfs? I was looking for Medcalfs from the 1820s because Di thought they were buried at Ware Congregational in the town centre.
          Best wishes,  Linda.

Hi Linda,
Thank you very much for looking for the cemetery and headstones. It appears that I am going back a generation to Zimmer and Munro to Benjamin and Mary who both died in the 1820's (roughly). I truly appreciate all your help.

And now, through our postings - I have FINALLY found some "REAL" and "LIVE" relations. I can now talk to a relation who is not dead - that will make a change!   

Oh I am just so thrilled.

If we ever find the actual graves that I was looking for, I will tell you where they are.

Thank you
Kind Regards
Diana

I am really pleased for you Di. I have met 3 new cousins since doing family research and spoke to one for the first time today. Its a great joy and I am so glad for you because working together is so much better than doing it on your own.
       We had a great time in Ware and a lovely lunch as well and I am sorry we couldnt find more for you.
        Happy hunting.  Linda.

Not sure if it's of any use at all, but there was  Richard Medcalf married Judith Jervin in 1781 in Ware and James (possibly son of Richard) married Sarah Driver Taylor 1802 - All Saints & St Johns, Herts.

Hello, I have just found thids thread. I am descended from Thomas and Benjamin Medcalf, who were toll collectors of Enfield Lock 1806 - 1850s. I am wondering how, if at all,  they are connected to the Medcalfs of Ware?

Any info most gratefully received! Linda
