Hi, I am doing a big and noisy happy dance. I have just found a "new" rellie who has given me all the info on the above families. I can not believe it. I have been searching for these families for many years. One of the gentlemen I was looking for I knew as Leonard P. GILL but was found as Leo PAYNE-GILL. Just shows you have to think out of the square doesn't it. Yahoooo! Helen in New Zealand

Hi Paul, Thank you very much for your help...the information on George Clark and William Rainbow looks very much like they could be ours.There has been this story passed down in my family from my great grandmother and her sisters that Edward William Rainbow took the maiden name of his mother as he had spaniard in him and he didn't want to be known as one...pretty sad if its true!. Anyway you have given me a new avenue to explore,so I am very grateful for your help.

Dear Listers! I have a WILLIAM BECKETT of BUCKINGHAM, born about 1795. He married ELIZABETH JAMES (b 1800, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire) in 1819 in Stanway, Gloucestershire. They had three children, one of whom died aged one year in 1825; Elizabeth died at about the same time. WILLIAM BECKETT married for a second time to Elizabeth's sister, CHARLOTTE JAMES (b 1805, Chipping Campden) in 1826 in Worcester. They had three children only one of whom survived their early years. Charlotte died in 1831in Stratford on Avon. WILLIAM BECKETT married a third time to ELIZA HIRON(S) (b 1809, Chipping Campden) between 1831 and 1833. The family lived in Stratford on Avon where they had a further fifteen children. WILLIAM BECKETT was a chimney sweeper as were many of his sons and grandsons. The last chimney sweeping Beckett retired in Stratford on Avon in 1963. I have the following stumbling blocks ; 1. Exactly when in Buckingham was WILLIAM BECKETT born and who were his parents? (There is a suitable IGI reference for a WILLIAM BECKETT born in 1795 in Long Crendon but that is about ten miles from Buckingham). 2. Exactly where and when did WILLIAM BECKETT marry ELIZA HIRON(S). Is anyone researching this remarkable family? Can anyone help in any way? Regards, Mike Walker

This is the weekend of the Heritage Open Days. See http://www.heritageopendays.org/ Quoting from there: Heritage Open Days celebrates England's architecture and culture by allowing visitors free access to interesting properties that are either not usually open, or would normally charge an entrance fee. Heritage Open Days also includes tours, events and activities that focus on local architecture and culture. Heritage Open Days 2004 will run from 10th-13th September, with places all over England taking part. Organised by volunteers - usually property owners or managers - for local people, Heritage Open Days is England's biggest and most popular voluntary cultural event, attracting some 800,000 people every year. The Civic Trust gives central co-ordination and a national voice to the event, which is made possible by funding and support from English Heritage. Heritage Open Days provides visitors with a unique opportunity to explore and enjoy these sometimes hidden, often curious and always interesting places in English cities, towns and villages - and completely free of charge. Dr Simon Thurley, Chief Executive, English Heritage, says: Heritage Open Days has become an important part of the heritage calendar, allowing everyone, wherever they live and whatever their background, to enjoy, understand and feel a part of the country's rich and diverse cultural heritage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can highly recommend browsing your county's listing - Buckinghamshire is at http://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/ed/buckinghamshire/index.shtml - and considering an expedition to "somewhere different" this weekend. In Buckinghamshire there are various heritage walks and open churches, amongst other offerings. In the last few years I've been to sites as diverse as an ice house in Surrey and Oxford Castle (gaol) at which my PULKER ancestor was a turnkey in the nineteenth century. Tomorrow I'm going to the Heritage walk around the Stoke Poges Memorial Gardens (fresh from their recent makeover), Stoke Park and St Giles's Church (Gray's Elegy).

I am looking for any information on the family of my g2 grandfather Thomas LEIGHTON (also spelt LAYTON or LEDEN). By all accounts he was born in Buckingham, Bucks, about 1788. He became a journeyman hatter, which might explain how he came to marry a lass from Staffordshire and eventually settle in Brixham, Devon. If SKS could kindly search any relevant parish registers etc., I would be most grateful.
