Thanks for the publicity Paul! I've been offline for 4 weeks - in my absence my website hosting company had a major crash and the restore was far from clean. I'm hoping to have it all fixed up within the next day or so but right now the website's a bit of a disaster area with missing or old pages all over the place. I think, Bev, we have been in contact before? Hope your research has been going well in the last couple of years.

Thanks to everyone who answered my query about the 1801 and 1811. I now consider myself very lucky that a copy of the 1801 census, complete with names of heads of house exists! happy New Year!

Hi List: I thought I would post my interest to the list. I am researching my Woolhead family from Wing. My great grandfather Joseph WOOLHEAD was born in Wing in March 1886, he is one of the 11 children born to Joseph WOOLHEAD & Sarah Ann (nee HOUNSLOW). Joseph (1886) came to Canada in 1906, but he went back and fought in the War in 1915, leaving a wife and 2 daughters behind. As well as my gr. grandfather, his sister Beatrice and 2 of his brothers also came to Canada to live. Joseph's parents Joseph & Sarah Ann married Aug. 1880 in Wing, both of them were born in Wing. I would like to hear from anyone researching my family or has information on them. Thank you. Bev. in Canada _________________________________________________________________ Introducing the City @ Live! Take a tour! http://getyourliveid.ca/?icid=LIVEIDENCA006

In 1841 Elizabeth BOLTON, widow, and her children are living at Salt Hill, Farnham Royal. Does SKS have access to the PRs for this parish who could look for the burial of Elizabeth's husband, thought to be Thomas, about 1836. Regards, Fred

As a new family seeker, I was thrilled to find this information in my inbox. I am having a hard time finding the info on the site, but have found a copy of articles on my G Gr dad Horatio/Horace Stanborough and various versions of that name as well as his mum, my GGr mum Penelope Colman/Stanborough/Jarvis. They are the rogues in my family, as least so far. I am finding them absolutely fascinating. The rest seem to be poor, very hard working folks. Thanks for letting me find the fun in the family.

The recording of names in the censues officially only began in 1841.The 1801 to 1831 censuses were intended as purely statistical exercises, & there are few surviving records from those censuses with any names on.

It's more good fortune than anything else that any of the 1801-1831 censuses survive at all. They were supposed to be head counts only with no names for any members of the household. The existence of one of the early censuses with names doesn't mean that all others will exist or, if they do, that there will be any names. Survival of the early censuses is very patchy. Have a look on the Bucks Record Office site to see what, if anything, they have for the 1801 and/or 1811 censuses.

Hi all I am new to the group and wish to try to find any children from the marriage of Thomas Herbert COLLINS to Ethel Mary BEST which took place in Wycombe in 2nd qr 1946. At the moment I do not know where Thomas came from but I know that Ethel came from the North East of England. thank you Lindsay

Thanks very much for this useful information. I recently visited Slough library and was able to find several references in the local paer for 1832 to 1840 for my Appleford ancestor who was the postmaster at Windsor. It was so quick and simple as someone has carefully indexed the newspaper on a cardex system. Another ancestor died in Slough and several others married at Upton so this site is of great interest..

With thanks to Tony Sargeant, who mentioned this on the homepage of the Bucks FHS, at www.bucksfhs.org.uk ... I've discovered Slough History online, at www.sloughhistoryonline.org.uk/ , which describes itself as: "A unique local history archive including newspapers, articles, photographs, stories and memories." There is a large selection of photographs, accessed through themes, or via the Search box at the top right of the homepage. The main gem for Family Historians is that there are scanned copies of the Slough newspapers between 1883 and 1929. Rather than being OCR searchable, they've been indexed by volunteers. You can search for entries in the births, marriages, deaths and memorials column from 1883 to 1929, and names and topics in the 1883 to 1889 span. Wendy

BTW, since the Laceys had trades & kept shops, they'll be in trade directories, & Solomon the schoolteacher might appear in various official documents in that capacity.
