1871 - 1881 was there a school called: Young Ladies Seminary, Bedford? Maybe known by a different name back then? Three young sisters were purported to have attended it. The family at that time lived in Tavistock Road, Bedford. I have found this notation in a letter sent to me in the 1980's and the very elderly writer died soon after so cannot enquire further from that generation, none left to verify. Their 2 brothers attended the Bedford Modern School 1876-1880 and I was very lucky to have obtained their school details from the archives. Thanks again for any help. Hilary Scott, Aust.

Hello, For several years I have been trying to trace Robert HINSBY, who was born 20 February 1845 at Milton, Hardingstone, Northants. In 1851, under the name HENSBY he was with his family in Tempsford. He was not with them in 1861 when at age 16 he may have been working away. I have only seen the 1861 census for Tempsford, and would appreciate it if any Lister who has the 61 or 71 census for the county would check for him under both HINSBY and HENSBY. By 1881 Martha his mother and a brother were in St. Neots, Hunts. I am requesting the church records for Tempsford, to check for deaths. Regards, Reg Harvey Researching HINSBY and IMPEY

The IGI (www.familysearch.org) shows his parents as John and Ann Regards David Linda Fiorentino <fiorel@bigpond.net.au> a écrit : Hi to all I am new to this list and am hoping that someone can help me find some information on my 4x Great Grandfather, William GOODWIN. The information I have on William is listed below, and the assistance I am seeking (if possible) is a lookup of the Parish Records for Caddington for his birth/Christening record, in order to find his parents name. This in turn may help me find more of his family details. Name: William GOODWIN Christened: 27/03/1768 Parish: Caddington, Bedfordshire Religion: Church of England On 17 April 1790 he was convicted in the Stamford, Lincolnshire Quarter Sessions and sentenced to transportation to Australia for 7 years. He departed Yarmouth Roads Norfolk on 17 July 1791 on the ship PITT, and arrived in Sydney NSW on 14 February, 1792.

Hi, I have spent this afternoon pursuing some LANCSTER families for a friend of mine. With the help og Gill Jones (thanks, Gill!), I have traced the LANCASTER line back to a Robert Lancaster, born c.1792 Eggington. On the 1841 Census,Robert has with him a Martha LANCASTER (transcribed Lankenster), aged 80, who I would imagine would be his mother, although, of course, i can't be sure of that. I have been looking on the IGI for a possible christening for Robert Lancaster, and have found the baptism of a RObert Lankinster at Eaton Bray in 1791, son of John Lankinster and MArtha. A John Lancaster married Martha Lake at Chalgrave on 1.8.1785. This John Lankistor (yet another way of spelling it!) may have been baptised in Chalgrave in 1760. I'm not sure how to progress to prove this speculation, but I was wondering if anyone has access to the Parish Registers for any of these places, to see if there is any reference which maybe of use. If anyone can help me woth this, I'd be very grateful. Regards Eunice CUbbage

Hello List, I wondered whether anyone could tell me the parents & circumstances of RICHARD SMALLMAN born about 1820 in Leintwardine, Bedfordshire.He married Ellen & was the carpenter at the Enville Estate in Staffordshire. I am interested to exchange information on the family. Regards & thanks, John Carswell, Taree, NSW. Australia. 1851 Census.Dike ? St .Kinver Richard Smallman ,Head,33, Builder,b.

Hello John, My knowledge of Bedfordshire is very patchy, but the nearest to Leintwardine that it includes is Leighton Buzzard :-) Leintwardine is (almost) as Richard described in the Census, as it was *mostly* in Herefordshire, but part was in Shropshire. And around 90 miles crow-flight from BDF. I can't see a "Dike Street" in Kinver (Staffordshire) - but suspect it *could* be today's "Dark Lane", although High Street's a faint possibility. OTOH, Enville is about 2 miles North of Kinver, and Dark Lane is at the south end of the (little) town. Maybe he'd not yet taken the job on the Estate by 1851...

Hi Pat Whilst Everton was in Beds, the parish register is in Huntingdon Records office. I’ve looked at the Everton parish register transcript, and there’s no marriage of William and Elizabeth. But there is a controlled extract on the IGI of a marriage in Gamlingay on 6 Mar 1787 between William Warren and Elizabeth Webb. They then produced a number of children commencing with William on 10 March 1787 (that really was cutting the wedding a bit fine!) up to 1802, then a gap until 1810 with John, then there’s Mary in 1815. Whilst they appear on the old side it’s just about possible for them to be the parents of John chr 1810, although I wonder if the William chr 1787 might have married an Elizabeth. He did! There’s a William Warring m Elizabeth Baxter in Gamlingay on 23 Oct 1809. The Gamlingay parish register has the name as Wareing, Wearing or Warring. If you check the burials index on the Cambs FHS website you’ll see at Gamlingay William Wareing 1827 age 70 Elizabeth Wareing 1833 age 64 These are the only War….variations of Warren buried in Gamlingay 1801-37 There were no William War…burials in Everton up to 1900 A William Waren was christened in Everton on 25 Oct 1767, son of John & Mary Waren, but there’s no William around 1757. John Waring bach and Mary Marrott spin both otp were married in Everton on 17 Aug 1755, and produced a steady stream of children who were christened from 1756 onwards. I wonder if the age 70 at burial is correct. With the age discrepancy you really need to view Gamlingay parish register to check for extra details, and to confirm everything that's on the IGI.

Patricia If no one has the certs records here please ask the archivist archive@bedscc.gov.uk and Sue, who answers most of the e mails will soon be able to tell you if she had it or not. I cant see a record on http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp or http://blars.adlibsoft.com/beginner/indnms.html so it may be best to ask the archives cathy

Hello Listers, Does anyone know the history or anything about "Chequers Inn" at Bozeat. I believe it was still in existence in 1978, maybe as a private dwelling. In the 1841 Census ,SAMUEL SMITH, my 2xgrandfather was a Publican and family tales say he kept the Chequers Inn. He arrived in Australia in 1849. Cheers, Prue Gore Tasmania,Australia

Hello listers, Does "Slade House" in Hinwick still exist? My 3xgrandfather JOHN SMITH, I am told, rented and lived there. He was born about 1769 and married KERRENHAPUCH GALE(widow of WHITE). He died at Poddington. One child, Samuel was born about 1805. I am planning a visit to the area, so would like to know in advance. Prue Gore Somerset, Tasmania,Australia.

Dear Listers, Many thanks for the responses I got to my request for Heather MacAllister's address. Now back in touch and after many years and numerous false trails we have at last linked up our WOODLAND families. Her 3 x great grandfather being the brother of my 2 x Great grandmother. Both born in Millbrook. We are 'over the moon'. Thanks and Cheerio Phyll
