I have both the Colmworth transcript and the BVRI, to which I referred in my postings of Saturday, plus the NBI. I think you may be trying to reinvent the wheel, Peter, as I spent half of Saturday putting these Hites/Hights/Hytts together. There's nothing in the BVRI indicating the ages of the late baptisms, other than Mary where her 1805 birth date is given and which I quoted earlier, and other than what can be gleaned from burials, censuses, and the fact that of the five children baptised on 18 Jul 1819 three were children of Ann Hite, and two were children of James and Ann Hite, which taken together with the A2A bastardy reference that I found, makes it fairly certain that the two legitimate children were born before 1805 when James was transported, and the other three illegitimate ones were born after 1805. There's a John EYTE in Colmworth in 1841 and I wonder if this might be another variation. Being some sort of public holiday here today in France I'll put together a tree in my genealogy program and post it later on.

Hi Marlene, Your reference to an Ann Stringer interested me, I've been searching for references to Ann Stringer for some time, I have a widow Ann Stringer who married an ancestor of mine John Sells on Nov 11th 1742. Her maiden name was Emmerson and her late husband was Frances Stringer, there were children from the first marriage and your Ann may have been the daughter of mine. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong place, I have Barton le Clay as the place of the wedding to John and I assumed Ann was from thar area. If you come across anything that you feel might be of use to me I would appreciate a note.

George, Bedford Gaol database has a James Hite 27 of Colmworth convicted in 1805 for sheep stealing with death sentence commuted to life (presumably transportation). Then in 1821 it has your Samuel Hite age 19 transported for burglary. Both have to be related, but were they possibly father and son??? IGI Batches for Colmworth don't have many Hite events before 1800. To me this suggests they came from elsewhere. Also the christening batches only have females, which might mean a separate book for males has been lost. I also found a user submission for the 1891 death of Samuel Hite which suggest he was born in Kent. Peter in Sydney

I would BET not be...sorry

I would be the name should read Hyatt and these two variants were the result of his being illiterate. My Hyatt line is from Warwickshire and there is a lot of mis-spelling of this name. Anne

Peter You're right that Colmworth on the IGI is a bit of a mess, particularly with the female only batch after 1812. But the males are on the BVRI, so they're not lost. Before 1800 the Hites in Colmworth are mainly listed as HYTT, which isn't picked up by soundex in a search for HITE. The Colmworth Hytts seem to have come from nearby Thurleigh and Keysoe where they're listed on the IGI as HIGHT/HEIGHT I'm pretty certain that James and Samuel were father and son - see my previous post with the A2A reference Regards David --- En date de : Dim 13.7.08, Peter Booth <[email protected]> a écrit : > De: Peter Booth <[email protected]> > Objet: Re: [BDF] Samuel Hite > À: [email protected] > Date: Dimanche 13 Juillet 2008, 5h31 > George, > > Bedford Gaol database has a James Hite 27 of Colmworth > convicted in 1805 > for sheep stealing with death sentence commuted to life > (presumably > transportation).

Kia Ora Greetings from across the Ditch! Interestingly there is a member's submission (not always to be trusted!) on the Mormon site (LDS) which indicates a William Hite was baptised at Colmworth in 1798. His parents were apparently James Hytt and Ann STRINGER! There is no indication of a Samuel Hite baptism but it's interesting to note he burgled the home of a Thomas STRINGER! It might be worth getting the film of Colmworth Parish from your nearest Mormon Church Family History centre to see if you can find anything of interest. James Hite married Ann Stringer at Colmworth on 27 March 1795. They had a son named Samuel who was baptised 18 July 1819 (perhaps as an adult?? ) Most interesting perhaps is the entry for the Baptism of Hannah HITE on the 11 March 1821. Her parents were Samuel HITE and wife Jane! I cannot find a marriage, but if a marriage exists it might explain a late baptism undertaken before a marriage! I think it would be worth your while to get the film as there may be notes writtten by the Vicar that won't appear on the online version! Good luck Marlene.

There’s a family in Colmworth in 1841 who appear to be the “other” HITE family, although Samuel and James, father of your Samuel, were brothers: HO107/1/2 folio 14 Colmworth Samuel HITE 60 farmer (buried 13 July 1847 age 68) William 25; Samuel 20; James 20; Charlotte 15. Ages over 15 in 1841 were rounded down to the nearest 5 below. There’s a baptism of Charlotte HIGHT at Colmworth on 30 June 1823, daughter of Samuel and Jane, so the 3 baptisms mentioned in previous posts were a red herring, and couldn't have been children of the Samuel who was transported. (I can’t find baptisms for the three, presumably, sons living with Samuel in 1841). A Jane HIGHT was buried at Colmworth on 5 Dec 1838 age 56 There’s an Ann HITE age c55 buried in Colmworth on 11 March 1833, who might be the wife of James who was transported. Frances HITE is a bit of a mystery. She married William WAGSTAFF in 1820 – on the IGI at www.familysearch.org – and they are living in Colmworth in 1841, but I can’t trace her after that, although William is living in Whittlesey Cambs described as married, with his son Joseph in 1851. As there was no other Frances born c1801 it looks as though the burial I mentioned, of Frances Hite in 1850, may have been her, although I don’t recall seeing the burial of a married lady in her maiden name before. Colmworth parish register transcript has the following baptisms James HYTT 28 Apr 1776 son of Robert and Ann Samuel HYTT 6 Sept 1778 son of Robert and Ann Robert HITE was buried on 11 June 1787, and Mary HITE aged c89 on 19 March 1827 It would need reference to the parish register microfilm to confirm all these entries- it can be ordered from and viewed at your nearest LDS Family History Centre – a list can be found at the url above. You need to search the IGI for HITE, HIGHT and HYTT to pick up the variations. I think my surmising about the three children baptised in 1819 where the mother only is mentioned was correct, and was deliberately worded to differentiate the legitimate children of James and Ann, and the illegitimate children of Ann conceived after James had been transported. The A2A online catalogue at http://www.a2a.org.uk/ - search Hite – location of Archives Bedfordshire…. – has Reference: QSR/23/1817/207 Recognizances: Thomas Wagstaff, Colmworth, bastardy. (Woman's husband has been in foreign parts under sentence of transportation for some years.) ANN HITE Any chance that father and son could have met up in Australia?

G'Day....my wife's great, great, grandfather was Samuel Hite born in or around Colmworth, Bedfordshire, England circa 1801. He was transported to Van Diemans Land (Australia) for life in 1821 and then after an adventurous life married a convict, Mary Ann Pendrell. Samuel and Mary the raised a large family and then went onto have an extended family domiciled throughout Australia. What we don't have is who were Samuels family in England. The following are the details which caused him to be convicted, sentenced and transported: Samuel was convicted of Burglary in 1821 and sentenced to life imprisonment. The sentence was subsequently commuted to transportation to the colonies. He embarked aboard the convict transport ship Malabar which sailed from Gravesend on 22 June 1821 bound for Tasmania, Australia.........previously known as Van Diemans Land......with a total of 172 prisoners and arrived on 21 October 1821. 171 of the prisoners disembarked at Hobart,Tasmania, Australia. On 10 July 1837, he married a female convict Mary Ann Pendrill (Pendrell) at Campbell Town, Tasmania, Australia.Mary Ann had been transported in 1836 after being convicted of obtaining goods under false pretences and being sentenced to 7 years. * Age: From his death certificate Samuel was aged 93 in 5 June 1891 Samuel born in 1798. The trial records for Samuel give his age as 17 in 1818 and 20 in 1820, ie born in 1801. From the information in the book "Bushrangers in Van Diemans Land 1824 -1827" Samuel was a youth of nineteen, in 1824, ie born in 1805. He was uneducated or had very little education and signed his name with an 'x' on and in all known documents. * Court - Convict: Quarter Sessions Roll - Shelf Mark QSR 24 Note: I have use 'f' where written as 's' and not used punctuation unless it appears in the original document. 1819 - Reference 121 - No 17, Recognizance to Answer to an Indictment Bedfordshire - Be it remembered that on the tenth day of March in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Nineteen, Samuel Hite of Colmworth Labourer personally came before me Hugh Wadebery Clerk one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace of the faid County and acknowledged himself to be indebted to our Sovereign Lord the King in the sum of ten pounds of Lawful Money of Great Britain shall perfonally appear at the next Quarter Sessions acknowledged to be holden at Bedford and there to anfwer and Indictment to be preferred against him by Thomas Carter of Colmworth Labourer and not to depart without Leave of the Court. Then the Recognizance to be void, otherwife of Force. * Court - Convict: Bedfordshire Epiphany Sessions 1821 - Shelf Mark QSR 25/61 A Calendar of the Prisoners in His Majesty's Gaol for the said County Prisoner No 8 - Samuel Hite of Colmworth age 19. Committed the 23rd of October 1820, by the Rev. H.W.

I am looking for someone in Bedfordshire...or England itself... who could research Samuels date and place of birth, together with the full details of his parents, siblings and ancestors. I fully rtealise that there would be a cost involved and perhaps i could negotiate this with the interested party; Regards....George

Colmworth parish register has been extracted onto the IGI and BVRI, so the records are easily accessible. There's no Samuel Hite baptised c1800. But there is: the IGI at www.familysearch.org has a marriage of James Hite and Ann Stringer at Colmworth on 27 March 1795. The parish register transcript shows both as being resident of Colmworth. They baptised Edith on 3 Apr 1796 at Colmworth, then William on 15 Apr 1798 (both from the transcript). The BVRI then shows (all children of James and Ann) Mary Hite born 25 Oct 1805 baptised 14 Mar 1819 (buried 26 Aug 1823 age 18) Frances Hite baptised 18 Jul 1819 (there's a Fanny Hite buried 30 Sept 1850 age 48) James Hite baptised 18 Jul 1819 (no father named) Maria Hite baptised 18 Jul 1819 (no father named) Rebecca Hite baptised 18 Jul 1819 (no father named) Samuel Hite baptised 18 Jul 1819 It looks to me as though this is a late baptism of your Samuel. James the father appears to have been transported as well - see http://apps.bedfordshire.gov.uk/grd/detail.aspx?id=514 which may explain why the later children weren't baptised until they were adults, and why only the mother was named for three of them- if James had been transported in 1805 perhaps he wasn't the father. BVRI also has 11 Mar 1821 Hannah Hite dau of Samuel & Jane 11 Mar 1821 Sarah Hite dau of Samuel & Jane 11 Mar 1821 Susan Hite dau of Samuel & Jane But I can't find a marriage of Samuel and Jane Trying to trace them via censuses - there's a James Hite born 1811 in Colmworth in 1851, possibly the one baptised in 1819. But there were other Hites born in Colmworth showing in censuses who don't appear to have been baptised. It will take me a while to try to sort them out. Bear with me.

Dear List In a message written 26.6.08, in reply to a question from Peter about a SCARD website and whether I had ever had contact with a Max Scard, I commented that I hadn't, but Judy (who has developed the SCARD website) had been in contact with him. I wish to correct the statement above - Judy tried on a number of occasions to contact Max SCARD by email but had no reply. She has never spoken to him or had any contact at all with him. I apologise for my incorrect statement earlier. Lyn Sydney

On Sept 11, 1913 Arthur John BATES (b. Dec 1879) married Jessie Beale McSORLEY, at St. Paul's Church, Bedford. Arthur the 3rd son of Thomas BATES (deceased) late of ST Loyes Bedford. (Thomas had a drapery business in St. Loyes St.) I would like to hear from anyone who may be descended from, or connected to, Arthur and Jessie. Peter NSW Aust.

Steven, Don't worry about the basic look. Basic is good. Basic usually means compatibility, stability and reliability, all often often overlooked in this day and age. One things for sure, its a hell of a lot easier than doing it by hand. :-).

Hello Donna I have re-checked the parish registers and found that Mary Church was baptised on 6 September 1667, daughter of John. The William Day I mentioned earlier, shown as the son of Thomas Day and Betsey Smith in your list, is shown in the IGI as the son of Thomas Day and Catherine. Sun shines here, but grey clouds surround us. Regards Roy
