This Parish, which contains about one thousand three hundred acres, is situated about four miles north from Newport Pagnell, on the road to Olney, being connected with the latter by a very long bridge over the Ouse, and the low marshy track bordering upon that River."

Hi . I don't know if it helps but I found a Daniel /Charles and James in North Marsden all sons of Simon Higgins . I couldn't find a Robert though. Good Luck, Buddug Hollett

Anne, Emberton village is just across the river from Olney. There was a local history group in the village a while ago I'm not sure they are still active. You could try going to the MKHA web page: http://www.mkheritage.co.uk/ and selecting Olney and District Historical Society and contacting them information@olneyhistory.org.uk see if they can place "Emberton lee". Hope this helps Dianne Anne Menadue wrote: > Hello, I am new to the list, I have for 30 years been trying to find out > where my G Grandfather was born in England. > > I have finally found a document that says he was born 11 March 1817 in > Buckinghamshire. > > > > Daniel HIGGINS came to South Australia with two brothers Charles and James > in 1839.

Hi Anne A good first step could be to contact Bucks Family History Society & request a search of their baptism database for Charles, James and Daniel HIGGINSes and perhaps for all HIGGINS events in Emberton. A baptism search will only cost a few £££. This is the BFHS website: http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk. I see they've got Emberton baptisms from 1813.

Hi Wendy This may be the answer: There is a birth of an Ann COOPER in the SEP quarter of 1866 (Wycombe 3a 427). The Wycombe RD includes Great Kimble as well as Bradenham (her birthplace as given in 1891) and Saunderton (her birthplace in the 1901 census). The 1871 census has an entry for a 4 year-old Ann COOPER living in Ellesborough (just to the north of Saunderton/Bradenham and also in the Wycombe RD). Her birthplace is given rather indeterminately as 'Wycombe Union'. She was living with her grandfather, George COOPER. RG10/1408 f.75 p.30. In the 1881 census, there's a 17 year-old Annie COOPER living as a servant in Chiswick (Middlesex). Her place of birth is given as Elesborough [sic], Bucks and she's listed with a fellow-servant called Georgina PORTER from Little Kimble! Despite the discrepancy in age, I think this is highly likely to be the right person - she could easily have lied about her age to help get herself a job. RG11/1350 f.15 p.23.

Hi list, everyone's been a bit quiet lately, but hoping this will prompt some replies. One of my BONHAMs (Robert 1838-1900) a butcher born Whaddon, moved to St Neots, Hunts married the delightfully named Mary Elizabeth Head GUNN in 1863. I've had no success until today tracing her origins. Now I know she was the dau of William GUNN and Charlotte HEAD, William being the eldest son of William GUNN, Independent Minister and Obedience LUKE. According to the book by Robert Gibbs, "A History of Aylesbury etc" quoted on GENUKI, William GUNN snr was pastor at Hale Leys Independent Chapel for 27 years (1816-death in 1844) and IGI offers up 6 children for him and Obedience baptised there. Prior to Aylesbury he was for a few years at Towcester Independents. I would love to know more about William GUNN snr and Hale Leys, hoping someone may have the Gibbs book, could look see if there's more info there. Any extra details or sources to check will be welcome but in particular I'd like to know where William snr was born in 1760, can't find anything online. Cheers, Celia Renshaw in Chesterfield UK

Hi Celia thank you for all your help. I have ordered the microfiche for bugbrooke and hopefully I can study this ...I think that and hope that my William Ashby who married Mary who ever.. was born in bugbrooke. I was received a list of Ashby's born in Bugbrooke. A lady had transcribed them from the Parish registers or microfilm. I am hoping that she missed my William Ashby out b 1775. There is a John Ashby born the same year as mine who did marry Mary Eales but it seems this John is the son of Robert Ashby born Bugbrooke. I wish it was my John Ashby too. once again thank you for your help.

Hello Greg, Several generations of my grandmother's people attended the Baptist Lower Meeting House in Amersham. I'd be interested in having a look at your Nash Minute Book, please ... I image there'd be little difference in practices between branches! In your fourth paragraph you ask "how common was this term?". I presume you mean the terms Brother and Sister? I don't know whether 1892 and 1944 are relevant, but religious communities still use these terms when referring to fellow-parishioners. At the Family History Library in Salt Lake City a few months ago, church members used these terms when speaking to or talking about fellow Mormons. My husband and I also have letters written at the end of the 1800s to our emigrant families in NZ by members of their "home" churches. These friends/church members, although not related, used these terms for the emigrants, to refer to other church members back home, and also to themselves when they signed the letters. Norma [in snowy Mosgiel near Dunedin, New Zealand]

Hello, I have recently been given a part transcription of the Nash Strict Baptist Chapel Minute Book and it makes very interesting reading although it has raised its own set of questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. The chapel was apparently established in 1798 for the "open and free communion for Independents and Baptists as fellow members", so my first question is, was this in any way unusual for Independents and Baptists to share the same building? The Minute Book is dated May 1839, having "lost our former memoirs and Articles through an enemy, we make the attempt on our best remembrance" and shortly afterwards there are comments "for remember how many are watching for our halting and how many Callamys have been thrown at us by protesters around us terming us Arminians and others Antinomians". To me this suggests a vicious split between the Independents and Baptists for there are no more references to Independents in the book, but my second question is what are Arminians and Antinomians? The entries between 1892 and 1944 used the terms Brother and Sister as in this July 1939 entry "in respect to windows being darkened is agreed that the lady Sisters present join together to find the material and carry out the work necessary for the darkening of the chapel windows, to meet the request of the A R P." These terms were not used before 1892 or after 1944, so my third question is how common was this term day to day, or was it reserved for official documents? I am happy to e-mail the document to anyone who would like a copy, it's a small Word document. Greg Davies Nash, Bucks, UK
