Hi Norma Bethune While reading your family l thought wow they were living the same parts of the parish as mine, even the same first names then l came to your NASH and ELLIOTT'S................ Snip...... Mary BUTCHER was an Amersham lass, too, chr 5 Nov 1797, the second of 13 born to John BUTCHER and Sarah NASH [another Amersham lass, b 1772 to William NASH and Mary ELLIOT]. John, chr 13 Apr 1766 at Hughenden, was the son of Thomas BUTCHER and Mary SLATER. Unsnip And l remember l had a Mary ELLIOTT she was bapt 13.5.1739 Amersham daughter of William and Margaret ELLIOTT nee HILLAM (my 6xgrt) married a William NASH. 4.5.1769. that's all l have sorry. l have found another THOMAS ELLIOTT married a SARAH NASH .7.12.1775 st Mary's Amersham l Have this circled in pencil yet to be connected need more info on this. All my ELLIOTT'S were all in the same areas as yours its nice to see someone researching the same and it looks like we are related. William ELLETT/ ELLATT and Margaret HILLIAM (my 6xgrt Grandparents) Married 1730 Amersham. I am still looking for William ELLETT's Birth around 1709 so if anyone has one hiding among some forgotten parish records please let me know. Regards Margaret

Hello Carol 'arris, I, too, am a "South Buckser" ... not lucky enough to be born and bred in the same area as you, though my grandma and her ancestors were!! My grandma was Clara ATKINS, b 10 Aug 1875 at Amersham to Benjamin Grant ATKINS and Amelia GIBBS who married 17 Sep 1868 at the Baptist Meeting House in Lower Amersham. Clara's dad Ben ATKINS b 16 Jul 1840 at Amersham was a silk-dyer 'til the 1870s, then became a photographer and later had a second-hand shop and was bill-posting. His parents were Thomas Grant ADKINS/ATKINS [from Banbury] and Mary BUTCHER. Thomas was first married to Elizabeth BALDWIN [3 Apr 1809 in High Wycombe] who produced 6 children before 1830; I presume she died before Thomas married Mary on 25 Mar 1834 in Hughenden. I know little about his first family. Mary BUTCHER was an Amersham lass, too, chr 5 Nov 1797, the second of 13 born to John BUTCHER and Sarah NASH [another Amersham lass, b 1772 to William NASH and Mary ELLIOT]. John, chr 13 Apr 1766 at Hughenden, was the son of Thomas BUTCHER and Mary SLATER. My grandma Clara's mum was Amelia GIBBS b 14 Oct 1844 at Seer Green, Beaconsfield to John GIBBS and Elizabeth PEPPET who married 20 Nov 1841 at the Baptist Meeting House in Lower Amersham. Elizabeth was b 9 Jan 1824 in Coleshill, but I know little about her PEPPET, ROGERS, BODY families from Coleshill. The Chalfonts GIBBS family I know little of, too. I believe Ben ATKINS was the Amersham Town Cryer from at least 1899 to 1907. Would there be any records to give me exact dates? Is there likely to be any photos of him? How/who/where would I make contact? Clara's mum Amelia ATKINS died of TB at Stone Asylum 3 May 1904. Does this place still exist? Could I check any records still in existence? Although she died of TB, that wouldn't have been the reason for her admission as she's there at the 1891 census and also in 1901 [this time 8 years younger!]. Does anyone know anything of my granny's families? I'd love to find some "cuzzies" who must be 'round somewhere! Any suggestions or connections would be very much appreciated.

Stone Asylum has closed but the records are in the Centre for Bucks Studies at Aylesbury. As the events referred to are over 100 years old, you should be able to get access. TB would not be the reason for her being in the Asylum. It would have been a cause of death, and a common one in those days. > > > Does anyone know anything of my granny's families?

I have some 17th century Butlers in Aylesbury, who suddenly sprang up with no known antecedents. Samuell (buried 1683) & his daughter Sarah (christened 1676). There's also an Ann Butler who married Samuel Jones 1770 at Ashendon, who I think may be the mother of Anne Jones (chr. Ludgershall 1772), who may be the Anne Jones who married John Washington of Ludgershall at Waddesdon in 1792. Lots of maybes there, I'm afraid.

My South Bucks are: Hare from Beaconsfield / Hedgerley / Fulmer, Spring in Fulmer Masters from Iver, Kedge from Denham (with a couple to Australia on her majestys invitation). Then into Middlesex and onward to London. Butler from Ludgershall is a bit more North though. Always ready to hear from anyone connected with the above or to offer advice for the area as I am not too far away in SW Herts.

Is Stokenchurch & its environs far enough south for you? I have quite a few ancestors round there. I must admit, though, there are plenty from the flatlands: especially Aylesbury & Waddesdon, but also stretching across the border into (dare I mention it?) Oxfordshire. BTW, there's also a Harris:- " Lydia WITNEY bpt as adult 28 Oct 1820 age 26yrs. Stated that she was baptd as an infant at Presbyterian Meeting House at Princes Risborough (Bucks). Received into Chinnor Parish by W. Musgrove" Maiden name Harris. But I've yet to find her meeting house baptism, & her parents. :( Paul Carol Lee wrote: > Dear Nivard, > > What a fount of wisdom you are.

I have non-travelling Fletchers in Lincolnshire, but one of them suddenly popped up in London in 1900. She was also a Fanny, b. 1867 in North Owersby, dau of William Dawson Fletcher & Jane. The man she married, Alfred James GARDNER was from Middlesex but his family came from Bucks a generation or so back. Probably no connection but just throwing it into the pot in case.

I want to try to find a marriage which may have occurred around 1910, and whereas Ancestry used to have the GRO indexes available for searching, now they have transcriptions (either theirs or from FREEBMD), they don't seem to have the indexes available. I have spent many a happy hour in the past trawling throught the indexes hoping to find my ancestors events, is this no longer possible ? Eunice
