Please does anyone have access to the North Crawley parish registers? I am trying to locate 2 marriages possibly for the same man. 1. John Roberts & Dorothy - who had a daughter named Sarah who was baptised on the 23/6/1751. 2. John Roberts & Mary who had possibly 9 children. The eldest, Elizabeth, was baptised on the 12/7/1756 Also the possible burial of Dorothy Roberts between 1751 and 1756. I'm not sure how far the Parish registers go back in North Crawley. Gill

Listers I am hoping that someone is reserching these names Phyllis Crook married John Prudence in the early 1900s she was bn in Mile End old Town 1908 daughter of James Edward Crook who I can trace back to 1804 in Shabbington in Church St Rook Tree Farm Christene

Hello List, Can someone assist me? I am in need of a lookup in the Posse Comitatus of 1798 for a William Matthews. Also is there any known record of the Royal Artillery being based in or around the Stony Stratford area in this time period. Ray Hudson Perth, Western Australia.

Paul, Thanks for the info - I am planning to visit UK in 2008, and am looking at the possibility of visiting the area. From what I understand most records are kept at Aylesbury - I have found a link to Buckinghamshire County Council - Family History, and wonder if it is worth me planning a visit there - for a couple of days. Am I likely to find more records than would be available at the local LDS and their filmings? I understand that there may possiby not be indexes, but as I do have a time frame and an area, perhaps it would not be quite such a chore!! I am also not sure just what records the various Family History Groups of the area might have and to which I could gain access? Any advice from Paul or other members to an Australian visitor?? Best Regards Michael Brock

The Bucks Archives have many records the LDS does not have, though AFAIK the LDS is likely to have copies of all the microfilmed parish registers. After all, if I remember correctly they paid for much of the filming. Website - http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/bcc/content/index.jsp?contentid=-746638797 They sell photocopies of wills (index online - http://apps.buckscc.gov.uk/eforms/wills/search.aspx) & other records you can locate via A2A ( http://www.a2a.org.uk/) You can get some stuff online, but a personal visit could be worthwhile. If you're coming from abroad & can only spare a couple of days, I think it would need careful planning to make the best use of it. Bucks GS & Bucks FHS both have transcriptions of records, which they can search, for a fee, & sell various useful publications. Details on their websites - http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/ http://www.bucksgs.org.uk/ The Eureka Partnership has published some useful transcriptions of records - http://www.genfair.com/shop/pages/eur/index.html Paul Michael Brock wrote: > ... > > Paul, Thanks for the info - I am planning to visit UK in 2008, and am looking at the possibility of visiting the area.

Hi All I am picking up the trail of an ancestor who has proved a brickwall for some 30 odd years. I have listed the known details of the ancestor, and wonder if in the depth of experience of the message board members someone may have some clues as to where I may try to research. FACTS ABOUT ROBERT HARMAN 1/. Death - Age 79, normal abode Skirmett, Hambledon Nov 6, 1847 (birth year therefore c1776) - copy of record held 2/. Marriage 1 - 23 Dec 1797 - married Susannah Smart - Hambleden, Bucks - entry # 105 3/. Marriage 2 - 12 Oct 1803 - married Sarah Newitt - Hambleden, Bucks - entry # 165 - (Sarah was actually born at Duns Tew in OXN) 4/. 1841 Census - Hambleden - address Skirmett - Sub-Registration District - Great Marlow Registration District - Wycombe County - Buckinghamshire Place - Skirmett - Robert Harman - 65 Ag Labr - Sarah " - 60 - Richard Atkins - 28 Ag Labr - Ruth Atkins - 28 - Daniel Harman - 18 Ag Lbr - Thos Harman - 4 All born in County 5/. A fellow researcher has developed a theory that my Robert MAY be connected with one born in Bisham, Berks, to Joseph Harman and Ann. I have searched for any dedicated Skirmett records, but it appears that the IGI doesn't carry any. I also tried a Google, and whilst I found that the village had a small flint church dating from the 19C it has now been converted into a home. If it was once a church, then I would have expected there to be some church records. Any one have any ideas or leads?? All assistance would be appreciated. Best Regards Michael

Skirmett is in the parish of Hambleden, but it was not unknown for larger parishes to include subsidiary chapelries. The church in Frieth is one such - http://www.hambleden-valley-churches.org.uk/FRIhistory.htm The Skirmett church was another. See - http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42527 You need to look at Hambleden records, but unfortunately the IGI does not cover them (it's far from complete), & neither the Bucks FHS nor Bucks GS has transcribed christenings before 1866 (Bucks FHS has 1866-1901), though both have good coverage of marriages, & the BHFS has transcribed burials 1729-1863. If there's an LDS Family Records Centre within reach of you, you can consult the microfilms of the Parish Registers (1566-1981) & Bishops Transcripts (1575-1845).

I had a private email from a lady called Pamela requesting some information about the death of an Ann FOSKET of Hoggeston. Unfortunately I seem to have lost the email but I think that she is a member of this list and ask her to get in touch again so I can send her the information. Sandra

Norina Many thanks for the 1891 information about Josiah & Leonard. .... but I think it is unlikely that the Baron & Baroness are related!! Gill

Hello to list after a break of two years ,I have been very busy researching my local families. I was amazed at what I have gotten. I am now looking towards my Bucks relations again. Can anybody give me any information on the death of Benjamin Lacey, who died March 1/4 1838. ie., was he of Great Missenden, I will otherwise request the death certificate. This Benjamin may be one of two who is mine, and at this stage i am not sure. I would appreciate any help at all, Thank you from South Wales, Les Lacey. No virus found in this outgoing message.

"Hi, I am new to this list and wondered if anyone else was seeking the name of TIBBY please. Its an unusual name and seems to have originated in Bucks. Mine ended up in Islington and I am having no luck at all in tracing them. Hope to hear from someone. Thanks, Pen" There are 7 Tibbys in Bucks in the 1851 census - High St Wendover Bennett TIBBY 54 butcher born Wendover Ann wife 49 b Wendover Bennett son 24 b London Groom William son 19 b Wendover Groom Henry son 9 b Wendover Scholar Nearby in the High Street - Jane TIBBY visitor widow 42 b Clapham SRY (household of Michael HOW 57 b Wendover, & Catherine HOW, 53, b Rochester Kent) And in Pound Street, Charles TIBBY 13 b Wendover servant to farmer James Billington. Also 8 TEBBEY in Gayhurst, all born Hanslope or Gayhurst, & 9 TEBBY, 7 in Stoke Goldington, all the family of a bloke from Hanslope. Oldest is Alice TEBBY, 75, widowed lacemaker born Wing, living Cambridge Street Aylesbury - so she'll probably have known some of my ancestors! The other one was born Leighton Buzzard - might be worth checking in Bedfordshire. There are quite a few in the 1881 census, under various spellings http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp And they're scattered all over in the IGI - spotted most of the Wendover lot there. I wouldn't be so sure about that Bucks origin of the name. Earliest one in the IGI was married in Shropshire, 1540. Elizabeth TIBBEY. Good luck!
