Hello folks, I have been searching the web to find where I can purchase the British Vital Index CDs version 2 from LDS. Several sites point to the LDS website but not to a specific place, just general entry points. Can anyone provide me with a URL that actually links to a place where I can see these CDs for sale? Thanks in anticipation. Lawrence Lowe Scotland

Hello All I wonder if anyone on the list is searching for OWENs. I have a family who lived in Frenchay in the early 1800s. The earliest links are a George OWEN who married a Mary JONES at Winterbourne, on the 6th March, 1783. This couple had four children -- Diana, George, Mary and John who were baptised at Mangotsfield from 1783 to 1789. John OWEN born 1789 was a Brightsmith and he had moved to Bath where he continued in his trade and married in 1816. He and his family subsequently migrated to Sydney, Australia. John OWEN's death cert. said he was born in Frenchay, Wales, which was backing two horses, but perhaps his father was Welsh. In Australia he said he was Unitarian by religion. I am keen to find out where the George OWEN who married at Winterbourne in 1783 and his wife Mary JONES came from. They do not seem to have been born/baptised in Winterbourne and nor do they fit many other local parishes where OWENs were settled at this time. Any suggestions welcome. Regards Jill Forster Sydney

Hello Everyone, Are there any records available for orphananges in Bristol? Looking for an, Amelia Greening, who was born in London in 1838. Her mother died in childbirth and apparently Amelia grew up in an orphanage in Bristol. Her father's name is unknown, but was a watchmaker by occupation. In 1857, Amelia, giving her age as 21, emigrated to Australia. My thanks for assistance. Regards, Marina New Zealand

Hello Everyone, Of, Jane Arnold, very little is known. In 1816 she had a daughter out of wedlock, when I guess she was quite young. The child was born at Aust and named, Sarah Arnold. Sarah immigrated to Australia in 1848. Australian marriage and death certificates held for one of Sarah's daughters cite her mother's maiden name as being, Sarah Power. Could there be a clue here perhaps as to who Sarah's mother possibly had married? I note that, Family Search, provides a marriage for, a Jane Arnold to a William Power in Feb, 1819 at Henbury. A maybe of course. Sarah's birth father was exonerated from paying further weekly sums for maintainence, in Oct, 1819. From this I take it that Jane Arnold may have had by then other means of support. Is anyone able to provide assistance for a possible birth for, Jane Arnold, parents unknown? Also, assistance for a possible marriage for Jane Arnold would be great. Grateful thanks for help with the above. Regards, Marina New Zealand

I see from the 1851 census that she's listed at the Ashley Hill Orphan Asylum Google leads us to  - "HOOKS MILLS EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION The Foundation was created in 1930, with the closure and sale of the assets of the Hooks Mills Orphan Asylum (also known as the Blue Maids’ Orphanage) Ashley Hill.
