Hi LeAnn I would have thought that the father had died before this child's birth.

Hi, Two questions: Does anyone have the parish registers for High Wycombe? I am looking for the christening of Martha Garrett, born about 1796. Also, what does it mean when it says someone is a "posthumous child?" I can only guess, but would like to know for sure. Thanks! LeAnn Walton

Hopefully someone can do a look-up for me please :-)) Looking for birth/baptism details of * John WATSON born abt 1778 died 30 Aug 1857 Water Stratford, Buckinghamshire * Josiah WATSON born abt 1787 died 28 Oct 1854 Water Stratford, Buckinghamshire I have checked http://www.parishes.oxford.anglican.org/water-stratford/ their births are not listed, but deaths are. Census 1841 and 1851 they are both in Water Stratford with their families. 1851, both list Water Stratford as birth place. It is possible that they are sons of William WATSON and Sarah COLE. They had four children baptised in Water Stratford and one in Tingewick around that time. Any assistance/information, greatly appreciated Kind regards Jen and Laurie Watson

As a non-lawyer my view would be that "honoured landlord" = lord of the manor and that they were dealing with copyhold land. "Copyholds, however could be transferred only by a surrender and admission made in the lord's [of the manor] court. The transferor surrendered his land to the lord, who then admitted as tenant the the person nominated by the transferor. ... the transferee had a copy of the entry to prove his title; he thus held "by copy of the court roll". " Megarry & Wade "The Law of Real Property" 2000 Sweet & Maxwell @ 2-034 Good public reference library could have a copy. Copyhold died out in the 19thC with various Copyhold Acts and was finally killed-off by the Law of Property Act 1925. Details in Wade & Megarry.

I'm sorry folks, I just sent a post to Matt that was meant to be private and sent it to the list by mistake. Big apologies to Matt as well. Celia Renshaw

Celia Renshaw would like to recall the message, "[ENG-Buck] Slightly odd GOODMAN Will, of Leckhampstead 1742".

Hello Celia, it is a bit unusual, but you do see similar provisions occasionally. It doesn't mean that his landlord had any right to oversee property transactions like these, just that Goodman thought his wife would need help in choosing the right deal. Goodman must have had a good relationship with his landlord to be able to expect that he would help, but there may also have been some expectation that a better deal could be obtained if someone of the landlord's status were involved, or even a hope that if the landlord were involved in this then he might also be drawn into helping the widow and children in other ways. I'm afraid I don't know who were the major landowners in Leckhampstead in 1742 (perhaps someone knows of a published history of the village? - if not land tax records would no doubt supply the answer) but as you say the lord of the manor would normally be the most likely person to be the 'honoured landlord' of a resident of any village. However there would also have been other people who owned land in the village (some of whom might have been themselves tenants of the manorial lord who were subletting their holdings), so it is also possible that Goodman held his land by lease or tenancy from someone else.

Hi to Bucks lists, I'm back after a break, still researching my MILLAGANs who came, with HANNEYs & HANNAHs, CROSBYs and ROYs, probably from Scotland/London, as linen drapers, chapmen & lacebuyers, to settle in Newport Pagnell, Buckingham, Newton Longville, Weston Turville etc. I know plenty now about the MILLAGAN men & want to do the same justice to their wives, but the ladies are not helping. So I hope people here can help me drag them into the limelight: Ann TOMPKINS married David MILLAGAN in Newton Longville 13 Oct 1706. There are many TOMPKINSes in N/L but no suitable Ann. Her origins may possibly be in London where there are TOMPKINS linen drapers at the right date. Ann BARRETT of Turweston, 2nd wife of above David MILLAGAN, married him on 16 Jul 1713 in Buckingham. Ann GOODMAN nee BANWARD (??) bn ab 1715 married, first, Samuel GOODMAN a Presbyterian of Leckhampstead and second, Robert MILLAGAN, son of above David MILLAGAN. Ann and Robert m. in Newton Longville 29 Nov 1742. But what was her maiden name? Presumably the bloke with a pen wrote what he heard... BANYARD, BAINARD, BANIARD, BARNYARD, BANNARD...??? Later in Buckingham, a Richard BAINARD signed the registration of a new Independent Meeting House 1793 and on 10 Mar 1745/6 in Buckingham a Richard BANNARD of Marston St Lawrence married Frances NORTH. Anyone know anything about BANNARDs? Or Buckingham & area Independents/Presbyterians? And the final Ann... widow Ann LIDDINGTON nee WOOLLAMS married Major Robert MILLAGAN (Major being a name) on 8 Nov 1775 in Leckhampstead, when she was of Silverstone (where she'd run an inn with 1st hubby Richard LIDDINGTON). I know she was the daughter of Buckm innkeeper Joseph WOOLLAMS and Sarah CLIFTON and that her LIDDINGTON children made bright and beautiful marriages with rich people (including BARTLETTs), as did her sister Sarah WOOLLAMS who married banker Philip BOX of Buckingham. But where was Ann WOOLLAMS born & bapped? Not found in Silverstone, Greens Norton, Buckingham or Westbury (where her parents married and 4 older sibs were bapped). Sister Sarah's bap is missing too. Four Anns, two of them widows and all four outlived their MILLAGAN husbands by donkeys years. Can anyone help me discover more of their lives and origins? Would love to talk to other researchers of these names. In hope Celia Renshaw in Chesterfield UK

Hello, I'm new to the list and helping an elderly day with her family tree. My friend is looking for information on George John Miller who was the Band Leader for the Grenadier Guards before he retired. He died in 1960. She is not sure whether he married and would like to find out. He was the informant on his father's death certificate in 1928 and he was living at Farnham Common, Slough. Hoping someone can help - many thanks Kind regards Alma .........Australia.

Hello list, John CAMDEN (1786-1849) marr. Rebecca READING (1803(?) - 1874) I reckon the wedding must have been ca 1820-1826 The first child I have for them is Sarah, b. ca 1827. I'd appreciate a lookup of the marriage please. Given the age difference, John may have been married before. Location probably Great Marlow. They appear in the 1841 in Gt. Marlow with 6 children. My second target is the birth of Rebecca in 1801-1803 Thanks M. Elliot-Jones
