Daryl ~ I approached this from a slightly different angle. Since Lambourn was in the Registration District of Hungerford, I searched FreeBMD for all registered Honey Births in that R.D.... and this is the result. HONEY Births in Hungerford Reg.Dist. SQ1837-DQ1851 SQ 1837 Male 6 151 MQ 1838 Eli 6 191 JQ 1839 Henry 6 212 MQ 1841 James 6 205 JQ 1844 William 6 25 DQ 1845 David 11 45 DQ 1845 David 6 178 SQ 1848 Septimus Andrew 6 203 JQ 1849 Martha 6 209 DQ 1850 Eleanor 6 221 Most of these accord with your Honey family the 1851 census.... except William & Martha. I cannot find William in the 1851 census, neither can I find him in the FreeBMD Death Indexes. On that basis, could it be that William above is actually your Ambrose? best Anne Higham researching LYFORD surname worldwide

I saw the later e-mail saying William was a transcription error but you are correct that most of the births are siblings and the rest are known cousins. I also got a few interesting ideas to try from some of the other e-mails. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

What are you doing next Tuesday? Do you live with driving distance of Reading? Have you ever visited an archive? Would you like to learn more about the type of records held at the BRO? Would you like help with some of your current hurdles/brickwalls? Have you any computer problems? Help is at hand next Tuesday evening- the BRO are open to all (why not bring a friend?) between 6pm and 8pm. This is for all with Berkshire interests.The BerksFHS and BRO staff will be on hand to answer questions, show you how things are located and where to find them. Original documents can't be produced on the evening, but it will give you a head start for your next visit. Then pop across the road and go into our Research Centre which is open from 6pm right up until 9.30pm - it is so close you can't possibly get wet even if it is pouring down. Two visits for just one journey. And you know what they say - Use It or Lose It - the BRO are really putting themselves out for US. Do come along and support this joint initiative.
