Hi Emma, It is almost certainly a result of an accent your ancestors had and/or a slightly deaf vicar. There was no correct way of spelling anything before c1850. Even if someone had a clear accent/voice one vicar might spell something one way and another would spell it another. Howland spoken in a rural accent could easily sound like Howlett to an Oxbridge educated vicar.

This has complicated matters for a long time. Henry was born to Simon and Sarah Howland in High Wycombe in 1809, the last of a line of children born in Wooburn to Simon and Sarah Howland! I have finally proved the two surnames are one in the same with the use of 'The People in Wooburn Vol. 2' regarding settlement, where he is listed as Howland in 1785 and then cross referenced it with the 'Index to Poor Law Records' from Bucks FHS where he is listed as Howlett. Why the variations in surname? Emma

Hi all, For those who may be interested. The Simon Howlett that I have been seeking recently appears to have come from Thame.

Thanks for the link to the photo site : www.buckscc.gov.uk/photo_database Very many wonderful photos of the chair making industry and lots of street scenes etc, A great site, well done Bucks County Council. Claire

Hallo All , Just wondered ... If anyone else is researching the Lipscomb family of Wycombe? Chair makers and wood turners descended from a long line of Joseph/Josiah Lipscombs and eventually John L Lipscomb (b1880 West Wycombe) who married Martha Stevens in 1819 and moved to Derby around 1841 where he continued the tradition of chairmaking, although most of his many children worked in the Derby silk mill. He died in Derby in 1874/5 I think. Quite why he moved to Derby is a total mystery. John's father (Joseph Lipscomb, b 1779 in Wooburn, Bucks) had died in 1839. At about the same time several of Joseph's other sons moved to London to take up the Butchery trade. But it is still mysterious that John moved away from Wycombe when the chair making trade there was at its height. He moved to Derby with 6 children in tow (several very small). Unable to find their 1841 census entry which might be somewhere 'halfway' and provide an explanation. Does anyone have any clues about why he might have gone - ie. was there an obvious (trade?) connection between the Wycombe area and Derby that I've missed? All ideas welcome. Claire

I have the Phillimore parish registers discs for Buckinghamshire but there don't appear to be any records for Great Missenden, please can anyone advise me as to where these records are obtainable from? Sue Scarth Lawrence Hughes Ryan Harris Lane Leighton Marsh Smith Crisp Patterson Grimshaw Davis Simpson Hesketh Richardson Jones Watson Linklater Walker Wheeldon Wilson are all names of interest to me.

I should be interested to know whether anyone has information about the history of Colstrope Farm, as one of my ancestral lines is the DEANE/COLLYNS family who owned the farm for many years through several generations. I should like to receive any information about Colstrope please. Celia Perry Ontario, Canada.
