Hello David Many thanks for your info which, I agree, seems to add weight to my theory. I imagine the Bedford St Paul register would be able to confirm whether I am right so hope someone has access to it and would look up the marriage.

i am planning a trip from the USA to Bedford in June, and am inquiring about the best way to go about accessing local records. What departments would i contact?, will i have any problems looking and searching thru the records myself? if so, would there be any fees for looking and transcribing family information? i understand there would be fees if i get copies of records, can anyone advise what the fee amount would be? are there smaller local offices? if so, are they open daily for 8am-5pm, or does one need to go to the larger registration office in Bedford? where else may records be kept that i could look at first hand? Do local cemeteries have lists of internments? which cemeteries would be the most likely where the ancients would be buried? are church records accessable to the public? I will be primarily searching: Bedford, Shefford, Sandy, Hamlet of Ireland, Biggleswade, Southill, and Wyboston areas in Beds, as well as Hinxworth and Tring in Herts, and Winslow and Aylesbury in Bucks. The time frame i will be searching will be ca 1812-1890. I will be getting a train pass, can anyone advise which airport, Heathrow or Gatwick, would have the most direct train to Bedford? britrail.com is not exactly clear on this. any clues, tips, warning, hints, do's and don'ts would be most gratefully appreciated. Thank you for any assistance Sandee sandee@ionet.net

Dear Listers, I am hoping that there might be a lister who has access to, or who can direct me to the 1841 Stanbridge census. The couple I am seeking--Richard and Anna Holtom/Holtham--seem to bemissing on the 1851 census. (I think that both may have died before then). I really am stuck on this couple as my next query outlines. Any suggestions or advise, as to where I can find this information, would be much appreciated. Chris in Ontario

I am wondering if anyone on the list might have access to the Stanbridge Pr's--or be able to direct me to a source that I can pursue. My g-g-grandmother and her siblings were born and baptized in Stanbridge in the early 1820's and 30's. I am hoping to go back further by getting more information on their parents (my g-g-g-grandparents), Richard and Anna Holtom/Holtham. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Chris Roberts

Lila My great great aunt Susan Webb who married George Odell emigrated to Canada in 1870. The family came from Tingrith and were sponsored by the Trevor family who owned Tingrith Manor. Susan her husband and 8 children sailed from Liverpool on a ship called the "Austrian" on 14 April 1870 and landed in Quebec. The family settled in Ontario. Travelling with the family were George's parents and other relations. Could this be the ship which carried the Page family ?

Hi Peter A John Sabrook was buried at St Neots Hunts on 31 Jan 1733, as was a Thomas Sabrook on 16 Jun 1727. Frances was buried in Eaton Socon on 21 Apr 1717. St Neots is only just across the river from Eaton Socon, but is a genealogical black hole as the registers haven't been filmed by the LDS. There is no John Seabrook on the Hunts marriage index. Given that John and Benedicta had children in Flitwick, and were buried there, and as Flitwick is only a couple of miles from Lidlington, whereas Eaton Socon is at the other end of the county, I must say I prefer your theory! Regards David Peter Seabrook <peterseabrook@onetel.com> a écrit : Dear all John and Benedicta Seabrook were married at Bedford St Paul on 19 Oct 1730. I believe that John was the son of John and Martha Seabrook, who were married at Lidlington on 3 May 1698.He was born in 1699. However, a source in America quoted on IGI seems to suggest that he might have been the son of a Thomas and Frances Seabrook and born at Eaton Socon in 1708. I imagine that the Bedford St Paul register might be able to provide the answer as to which John married Benedicta and I wonder if SKS has access to the register and would be able to look it up for me.

Hi Richard, My Page's left Liverpool on April 19, 1870 on the "European" and landed in Quebec on May 5. They were sponsored by Mrs. Hobart's Emigration Fund. They first went to Almonte Village in Ontario, then on to Gananoque and finally to Alexandria Bay New York. Where is Tingrith? Is it in Bedfordshire?

Dear all John and Benedicta Seabrook were married at Bedford St Paul on 19 Oct 1730. I believe that John was the son of John and Martha Seabrook, who were married at Lidlington on 3 May 1698.He was born in 1699. However, a source in America quoted on IGI seems to suggest that he might have been the son of a Thomas and Frances Seabrook and born at Eaton Socon in 1708. I imagine that the Bedford St Paul register might be able to provide the answer as to which John married Benedicta and I wonder if SKS has access to the register and would be able to look it up for me. Many thanks Peter

Hi List, Does anyone have any sightings of John DARRINGTON and Mary COOK who were married on the 3 July 1797 at Roxton? Any leads will be most appreciated. I believe that they had the following children - Susan 1798 Thomas 1800 Lucy 1804 William 1806 James 1808 Lucy is in my direct line and married Thomas BRADSHAW in 1821 at Roxton. Many thanks Pete.

My Page family was from Shillington, Bedfordshire. In 1870 they were sponsored by an emigration society in London to go to Canada. On the ship's list I copied from microfilm, there were a list of several families from Bedforshire. I am wondering if there is anyone on this list who may have had family go to Canada also.
