Hello Angela Joseph Parson & Mary Bone appear to have had other children (see familysearch site): Louisa bap 11 Oct 1818 William 19 Dec 1819 OR William 30 Jan 1820 Samuel 2 Dec 1821 Sarah 11 May 1828 Louisa married Joseph BURROWS 11 Jun 1840 Flitton 1841 census Louisa (20) & Jospeh (25) BURROWS at Ware Hedges, Flitton, with a lot of others including Thomas PARSONS age 3 1861 census Gobins Wood, Higham Gobion BURROWS, Joseph 42 Ag lab, b Westoning Louisa 42 b Flitton Mary Ann 17 Bonnet sewer b Westoning Elizabeth 15 Straw plaiter " George William 11 Ag lab b Higham Gobion Sarah 7 Straw plaiter " Couldn't find the others, and I think the Meppershall Joseph is a different one altogether.

If any of you kind souls ever come across the name John Sells or any variation of same during your research, please let me know. I've been banging my head against this brick wall for so long now I've given up hope of ever getting any further back. I know John married Ann Stringer (a widow) on Nov. 11th 1742 at Barton le Clay, I know he died on Sept 3rd 1770 in Silsoe, but I have been unable to find where he came from or when he was born. In the past I have hired two professional geneologists with no success, so I feel it's going to be a flukey finding if any. I'm keeping my fingers crossed Brian

Hi Angela I have three census entries for Joseph PARSONS b.1798 Meppershall, first wife Mary BONE b.1801 Haynes with 9 children: Louisa 1818, William 1819, Samuel 1821, Elizabeth 1826, Ann 1826, Sarah 1828, Samuel 1828, John 1830 and James 1833, all born at Flitton with Silsoe apart from the last two born at Meppershall. Mary died Feb 1840 Meppershall. His second wife was Sarah DEVONSHIRE b 1809 Campton, married 15 Feb 1846 Meppershall, with one child, Joseph b 1848 Meppershall. Census entries: 1841 aged 45, living at Meppershall with his children, William 20, Elizabeth 15, Ann 15, John 9 and James 6. Wife not with him, may be deceased. 1851 aged 54, living at Meppershall with his second wife, Sarah 40, children James 18, George 3, and stepsons William Devonshire 12 and Thomas 6. 1861 aged 67, living at High Road, Meppershall with his wife Sarah 51, son George 14, and stepsons William Devonshire 21 and Thomas Devonshire 16. Hope that helps.

David, Thanks for the reply. You learn something new every day. Just when you think you understand the system, it throws up another twist. It looks like 1813-1838 may be in the Bishops Transcripts. It's certainly not in PR's. Peter

Hi Peter I can't explain it but I found some extras on the BVRI which are not online. Also they're not in order on the Film Notes! I have an important Baptism missing in Riseley 1789 and when I went through Parish Register film there was a note on film which said 2 pages were missing from the Parish Register - unfortunately the 2 pages I needed. Your query prompted me to look at Riseley again and I note BMDs are on the Bishops Transcripts for 1789 stuck right in the middle of the 1600s!! I guess I'll have to get the BT film in the hope I can find it! There was another interesting note from the person who filmed the Register to indicate he/she had found a piece of paper in the Register which recorded a Baptism by a new Vicar on which he noted that he had performed a Baptism on his first day but it wasn't recorded in the Parish Register! So the oft repeated message of go back to the most original source possible remains true! Human beings!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Marlene Peter Booth wrote: > Marlene, > > Good suggestion.

Hi Peter Have you looked at the Family Search site, click on Library Catalogue, then PLACE on the right hand side. INSERT Milton Ernest on the new screen. Take a look at the "Bishops Transcripts" - you might be lucky to pick up whatever you want from that. See "View Film Notes" for dates.

Arlesey and Langford: Nearby might be Henlow, Stotfold, Meppershall, Upper and Lower Stondon, Shillington.and Sandy. Also in Hertfordshire the town of Hitchin, and villages of Ickleford, Radwell, Norton and Pirton. Heather

> Does anyone know if the Bedfordshire parish registers for 1813-1837 are > available or even in existance? Yes they almost all exist and most are in the Bedfordshire Record Office, which was given the duty of collecting them and storing them for posterity. People continued to be baptised despite Registration, which was patchy in the earliest years. Current Registers are in the parishes ( and can last for 100 years in small parishes) but the older ones should be in the County Record Office. Available - you can consult microfiche or microfilms of the parish registers in the Record Office. They will also quote you for copies, or put you in touch with local researchers who will search for you. Online look for Bedfordshire County Council then Record Office. Heather

Marlene, Good suggestion. I should have thought of that. However, after checking it doesn't seem specific enough. Even though it shows PR's 1538 to 1966 and BT's 1602 to 1876, there could be some gaps. If not, why don't they all appear on IGI? Peter

Sadly the PR gives no more information than you have.

Hi, Does anyone have access to Westoning PR? I'm trying to find out a bit more on two marriages and would appreciate some help. The first is between James Elmer and Ann Baxter 11/10/1783. I'm after any additional information there may be e.g. occupation or birth parish. The second is between James Elmer and Ann Barns 01/08/1809, again, any extra info. is good but I'm particularly interested to find out if this James Elmer is a widower.

Would anyone know what happened to Parish Registers for Milton Ernest between 1812 - 1838 ? 1812 saw the commencement of the new format. Is it possible these new books did not survive or did not make it onto IGI? The Hugh Wallis site shows a gap from 1813-1837 and then Marriages start again in 1838. I have a copy of Banns in January 1825 for William Cox and Charlotte Sawford. IGI has user submissions for baptisms of their children, albeit Charlotte's maiden name is spelt Tofford. If anyone had PR's, I'm wondering if it gives William's age and parents. Peter in Sydney

Would anyone know the eligibility requirements for an army pension around 1850? Would there be an age requirement, perhaps 70 and a service requirement of maybe 20 years or so? Would it be open to enlisted men or just officers? Does anybody know if pension records are available for that time? Peter

Hi Peter Thanks for your mail. I have been trying for some time to link these Dicks's with my lot and have seen that in some of the records the surname is spelt Dix but have not found any proof but I have all the info stored in a seperate file should they link up. Should they do I will get in touch with you. I will save your email and address just in case.

Thank you for this. Yes I have considered various possibilities but have come up against brick walls each time. I am tracing the female line of my family but have only got back to my GGGGgrandmother. No matter, it has broadened my knowledge of many things, including where Beds is on the map! Jane

Hi Marlene/Peter I don't think you need to try to explain why only part of Beds post 1812 is on the IGI - they simply haven't been extracted! But many, but not all, are included on the BVRI, and of the rest most have been filmed by the LDS. Milton Ernest is one such example - extracted up to 1812 from the transcript, but post 1812 has been extracted neither to the IGI nor the BVRI. And yes, it's illogical that marriages from 1838-85 have been extracted, but that's the LDS for you. If you check the film notes for Milton Ernest there's a lot of detail as to what is on the film - you would need to check with BLARS to see if they have the marriage registers 1813-37. I'm just grateful that so much of Beds has been extracted. The IGI for Riseley is extracted from the transcript prepared by Bedford Records office, which itself was an amalgamation of the parish register and the Bishop's Transcript, so if it's in the 1789 BT it should appear on the IGI. But by all means check the BT just to make sure - it's interesting that there are no baptisms on the IGI for Riseley 1787-9 David Marlene Shipman <[email protected]> a écrit : Hi Peter I can't explain it but I found some extras on the BVRI which are not online.

Peter, I am not an expert on the subject, but I believe one only got a pension if wounded on active service. This was certainly the case in 1914-1918. I assume the thinking was that if you survived the period of your engagement, you were fit enough to get work once you left the army. Also, bear in mind, there was no retirement age - you worked until the day you died if you had no means of support.
