Asthenia is unusual weakness or debility, in other words, an unexplained death. A reasonable dictionary may give more detail, or try a Google search. > the other says Uterine Carcinoma 1 year (then underneath) extraction .... > It was in 1899 I am guessing the operation killed her. Clearly cancer of the uterus, from which the victim had suffered for at least 1 year. The reference to extraction is a bit odd, as I haven't seen that term used to describe the removal of a tumour; if the sufferer died in hospital soon after the operation, then your assumption is probably correct, otherwise a bit of a lottery as to what the final cause was - disease, operation, bllod loss, trauma, etc. John B Leic., Eng

Hi list From the 1851 Bucks census, four of my PAYNEs were born in Little Linford, I wonder if anyone can possibly check PRs for the baptisms - and also see if there were later marriages and/or burials. The four were all children of farmer/grazier William PAYNE and Charlotte (nee ARIS): William bn 1830/1 John bn 1835/6 married someone abt 1863 who died before 1871 after having 3 children, name so far unknown Charlotte bn 1838/9 Mary bn 1841/2 Parents William and Charlotte had come over to Bucks from Northants (he from Boddington, she from Lois Weedeon, where they married in 1827) Son William stayed on at Little Linford at least until 1881, didn't marry. Son John with his children, two sisters and mother Charlotte moved back to Northants and was a farmer in Everdon 1871 onwards. If anyone connects with these folk, it would be good to hear from you.

Hi Tezz > In view of my previous post re SHUFFILs and GRACE, I thought it might > be a > good time to purchase the Bucks 1861 Census...Can anyone tell me iif > its ben > released yet...? The CD has not yet been released, but the good news for those who have been following the progress of the project is that last week I received an 'alpha' version of the CD for testing. The purpose of the alpha is as an initial prelease check of the program and data to make sure that all is ok etc. and so that any necessary tweaks can be made. So I think the end is indeed in sight.

Hi After some years of trying to solve a 'mystery' I think I have finally cracked the puzzle. My great great grandmother, Emma BEASLEY, married Joseph BURNELL at Whitchurch Parish Church in 1883. On their marriage certificate she states tht her father is Anthony BEASLEY a cooper. Emma and Joseph have six children - on three of the birth certificates her maiden name is given as SHUFFILL and on three it is given as BEASLEY... I finally managed to locate Emma BEASLEY on a census prior to 1891, as i found her in 1871 living in Whitchurch with her grandparents John and Elizabeth SHUFFILL, her mother (I assume) Emma BEASLEY, and another grandchild John GRACE. I believe that although the mother, Emma BEASLEY, states she was married, i don't believe this to be the case as I cannot find a trace of a SHUFFILL marriage to a BEASLEY... I suspect Emma BEASLEYS father was Anthony BEASLEY a cooper born in Whitchurch, who spent some time in Canada between the early 1870's and 1875. Would there be some bastardly bonds or something similar for me to look at somewhere for around the time of 1860 (when Emma was born)??? I would also like to hear from anyone who may be connected to either the SHUFFILL family or the GRACE family.

We all know that changes are coming which may (if they work) make some aspects of access to birth. marriage and death certificates easier, but could ruin the chances of getting uiseful information about ancestors in the 20th century, where we all start. Mark Rimmer, the Superintendant Registrar for Brent, has been keeping a close professional eye on what has been proposed, which has changed almost monthly. He is talking to the Bucks Genealogical Society on Saturday March 12 at 3pm on CHANGES IN THE CIVIL REGISTRATION SERVICE The talk is at 3pm at the Hartwell Day Centre, Thame Rd South, left turn at the first big roundabout out of Aylesbury Town Centre, on the A418 Oxford Rd (or straight ahead at the second roundabout on the approach from the Oxford direction).

Hi Listers, I believe there was a message recently asking for help in transcribing old Wills. I have mine done by a lady in Canterbury, she is good and her charges are reasonable. If you would like to contact me off-list, I will put her in touch with you. BTW she hasn't got a computer so all correspondence would have to be done by snail mail. Regards Dorothy

Hi Joy, I suggest you visit Mike Strange's webpage at http://www.yourtotalevent.com and consider joining his mailing list for those researching the Strange surname. There are several people on the list researching your Strange family, and have traced it back to the mid-1600s. I am also a list member, researching a different Strange family. ----- Original Message ----- From: joyjoy214 [mailto:joyjoy214@bigpond.com.au] Sent: 3/5/2005 1:04:17 AM To: BUCKS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BKM] John Strange > Seeking help- re a look up 1861/71 census. > John Strange wife Ann- plus family in Colnbrook. > 1881 census gave Ann age 51- as widowed . > living in Nettlebed Horton. > > Also seeking Father of Ann > James Mines born1801 in the 1861/1871 census > in the same areas as above > Not sure ,how'ever i think James wife name was Francis. > Thank-you' to any one who can help. > regards Joy in Oz. > > > ==== BUCKS Mailing List ==== > Advertising for financial gain is not permitted on this List, although subscribers may include a link to their website in their signature. > >
