Hi, Yes, another one who agrees that the new familysearch site is cumbersome and clumsy to use and is not a patch on the old one. Nevertheless, we cannot complain too much. It is, after all, free. Thank you LDS, but please don't remove the old site.

Chalkhouse Green may well have been in the parish of Kidmore or Kidmore End (which seems to be the postal address) in Oxfordshire, which was in the registration district of Henley. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/places/regindex1-3.pdf However in the 1841 census Chalk House Green comes under Caversham, enumeration district 18, again in Henley district. It looks as if Kidmore bceame a parish in the 1890s. There was a birth of a John BREWERTON registered in Henley district in September Quarter 1839, ref XVI (16) 63 If this was one of the older siblings, it may be worth getting that certificate. I can't find any BREWERTON in Chalk House Green or the rest of that census enumeration district in 1841 census. Using Hugh Wallis's IGI link I can't find any BREWERTON baptisms in Caversham parish either. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyOxford.htm#PageTitle Did the family move elsewhere in England before migrating to NZ, or indeed did they stop off in Oz en route? What evidence places them in Chalk House Green? By the way, a wildcard search on www.freebmd.org.uk for Sarah Br*ton turns up a BRUTON entry, but in Chipping Sodbury district, in the quarter that you mention.

Heather, If she was born in Chalkhouse Green, (which is actually in OXF), she would most likely have been baptised in Kidmore End church. Chalkhouse Green is within Kidmore End parish.

>From New Zealand Gazette and Wellington Spectator, Volume 111, Issue 138, 4 May 1842, Page 2. ENGLISH EXTRACT. - EXPRESS FROM WINDSOR. Last evening a most diabolical, and, it is to be regretted, successful, attempt, was made to kiss the Princess Royal. It appears that the Royal babe was taking an airing in the park, reclining in the arms of her principal nurse, and accompanied by several ladies of the court, who were amusing the noble infant by playing rattles, when a man of ferocious appearance emerged from behind some trees, walked deliberately up to the noble group, placed his hands on the nurse, and bent his head over the Princess. The Honourable Miss STANLEY , guessing the ruffian's intention, earnestly implored him to kiss her instead, in which request she was backed by all the ladies present. He was not, however, to be frustrated in the attempt, which no sooner had he accomplished, than he hurried off amidst the suppressed screams of the ladies. The Royal Infant was immediately carried to the palace, where her heart-rending cries attracted the attention of her Majesty, who, on hurrying to the child, and hearing the painful narration, would in a burst of maternal affection, have kissed the infant, had not Sir J. CLARK , who was fortunately present, prevented her doing so. Dr. LOCOCK was sent for from town, who immediately on his arrival at Windsor, held a conference with Sir. J. CLARK , and a basin of pap was prepared by them, which being administered to the Royal Infant, produced the most satisfactory results. We are prohibited from stating the measures taken for the detection of the ruffian, lest the disclosure should frustrate the ends of justice. - English paper.

Hi I am hoping someone can interpret a Census for me please. Referring to the 1841 Census for Berkshire as available in FindMyPast a Household Transcription in *RG number:* HO107 *Piece:* 19 *Book/Folio:* 10/4 *Page:* 8 shows a Rebekah STRATTON (b1801) living at Stanford in the Vale. Amongst the other three inhabitants there is an unnamed Male and two others. My problem is that I am unable to read the image to try and work out what is actually written for the male. I think the age may be wrong as it is out of sequence. If I have not given you enough info to enable you to locate the entry please let me know. Looking at Ancestry I cannot even find the entry. Can anyone else find it? With thanks Garry Auckland.

Rebekah is indexed as STATTON instead of STRATTON on Ancestry which is why the family is difficult to find. The 1841 Image is faded but the entry looks like: Stanford, Berkshire Rebekah STRATTON, 40, Ind, born in county George STRATTON, 15, (ditto), born in county Joseph STRATTON, 20, Grocer, born in county Thomas STRATTON, 3, , born in county The enumerator's household 'family' marks may be in the wrong place as there is a single 'slash' after Joseph which perhaps should be after George. My guess would be that there are 2 families in this household, Rebekah and George in the first and Joseph and Thomas in the second. That would explain why the ages appear to be out of sequence.

Hi Gary >From Ancestry (as you gave the census page reference you can search for just that you know, select Census > 1841 and enter the reference) Name: Rebekah Statton Age: 40 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1801 Gender: Female Where born: Berkshire, England Civil parish: Stanford Hundred: Ganfield County/Island: Berkshire Country: England Registration district: Faringdon Sub-registration district: Buckland Neighbors: View others on page Piece: 19 Book: 10 Folio: 4 Page Number: 8 Household Members: Name Age Rebekah Statton 40 George Statton 15 Joseph Statton 20 Thomas Statton 3 HO107; Piece 19; Book: 10; Civil Parish: Stanford; County: Berkshire; Enumeration District: 6; Folio: 4; Page: 8; Line: 15; GSU roll: 241200. My interpretation would be Rebekah STRATTON or STATTON 40 Ind Y George do 15 do Y Joseph do 20 Grocer Y Thomas do 3 Y (Y = born in County enumerated) Ind = of Independent means, a sweeping catchall that could mean living on an income or simply existing I would not worry about one person being out of sequence , its nothing unusual You will be aware that ages in 1841 are rounded down for those above 15, so Rebekah could be 44 down to 40, George could be 19 down to 15, Joseph 24 to 20 Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi > > I am hoping someone can interpret a Census for me please. > > Referring to the 1841 Census for Berkshire as available in FindMyPast a > Household Transcription in > *RG number:* > HO107 *Piece:* > 19 *Book/Folio:* > 10/4 *Page:* > 8 > > > shows a Rebekah STRATTON (b1801) living at Stanford in the Vale. > Amongst the other three inhabitants there is an unnamed Male and two > others.
