Dallas, Many thanks for the information. I had most of it, and have all the information about my gt-grandfather George HARRIS and his first wife Sarah ANDREWS and second wife Mary Ann PAYNE, and George and Sarah's children. However, I did not have the information about Thomas HARRIS (b 1832).

Hi Mike, Do you have any census information. I found your family in several censuses, and could send you the images if you don't have this information already.

I am interested in the Stapp/Stepp and Buffington families of BKS. This is the information that I have but it is not verified. John Abraham Stapp/Stepp [ca.1600 - ca.1679 VA USA] Mary Woodward [UK-VA USA] his wife Abraham STAPP [ca.1620-1658 BKS] his son--This is my 8-great grandfather. Abraham's wife and son were both born in VA USA.....doesn't quite fit, seems to me!! Richard BOVYINGTON [1450-1492] Richard BOVINDON [ca 1490-1550] his son John BUFFINGTON [before 1510-1573 Marlow BKS] his son John BUFFINGTON [ca.1535 Great Marle upon the Thames - 1636 Marlow BKS] his son John BUFFINGTON [b.ca.1560 Marlow BKS] his son Thomas BUFFINGTON [b.ca.1580-1628 Marlow BKS] his son Thomas BUFFINGTON [b.ca.1604 Great Marlow BKS] his son Richard BUFFINGTON [1635 Great Marle Upon Thames BKS - 1748 PA USA] his son Ann BUFFINGTON [b.1674 Great Marlow BKS] his daughter--This is my 5-great grandmother Am I correct in assuming that these are variations of the same town/city? I would so appreciate anything anyone could share with me concerning these families. Thank you in advance. PH DePoy Manassas VA USA

This family lived in Old Bradwell mid to late 19th Century. Levi joined the Kings Rifles and served in Africa. In 1897 he was aboard the Warren Hastings when it went aground on Reunion. He was awarded the Silver Humanitarian medal and the LLoyds Bronze medal for saving life. To our delight we found them displayed in the Winchester Rifles Museum. However, and finally getting to the question. Would any lister be aware of newspapers of the day that might have recorded the event locally? He is rather an enigma in my husband's family not mentioned by any of them and dying in 1915. Thankyou. Helen Woootton

Hello, While there are two lists Buckinghamshire and Bucks are the same place. Bucks is the abbreviation used for the county. So for example Berkshire is also known as Berks and Wiltshire as Wilts. There are some anomalies such as Oxfordshire being known as Oxon and Hampshire as Hants.

Oh, thank you so much, Godfrey! This link is wonderful and so enlightening to an 'outlander'...All the abbreviations used were and are confusing to me. Just as some of the odd ball terminology used in the US may be to any of you that do American genealogy. :-) This is a great help!

Hello Sue - > I have a dumb question I know. But, since I don't live in Eng. and > neither have any of my ancestors for at least 300 years, I hope I will > be forgiven for asking.. > What is the difference between the Buckinghamshire list and the Bucks > list? Are these two different places? Should I subscribe to both? Both the ENG-BUCKINGHAMSHIRE & the BUCKS list cover the same area - the county of Buckinghamshire. They're not "rival" lists in any sense - both admins are good friends of each other - it just happens that, over time, RootsWeb made two lists for the area. Some subscribers are on both lists, some aren't ! List members on both lists do their best to answer queries. Both work in conjunction with the Buckinghamshire surname interest list (SIL) at http://webpages.charter.net/dcarlsen/genuki/BKM/bucksurname.html > I am hoping that there are some present day Chitwoods/Chetwode's on the > list. > I know someone, in the US several years ago posted a query about them > and there was no response, so I thought I would try again, in the hopes > with all the interest in genealogy over the last few years, there might > be someone now. When looking for others with the same surname interests, the SILs for each county are a good place to look. They get typically about 100 "hits" a day from visitors. There are a couple of entries in the Bucks SIL for you. Another place to look for researchers interested in your name is The Guild of One-Name Studies www.one-name.org . You're in luck - there's a member, Mrs Jean L Chetwood Burke, chetwood@one-name.org, researching all occurrences of the name. So hopefully I've found you some contacts, but do also talk to the list about any queries you may have about your research in the county.

Hello, I have a dumb question I know. But, since I don't live in Eng. and neither have any of my ancestors for at least 300 years, I hope I will be forgiven for asking.. What is the difference between the Buckinghamshire list and the Bucks list? Are these two different places? Should I subscribe to both? I am hoping that there are some present day Chitwoods/Chetwode's on the list. I know someone, in the US several years ago posted a query about them and there was no response, so I thought I would try again, in the hopes with all the interest in genealogy over the last few years, there might be someone now. Thanks, Sue

Brad Dianne and Barbara Thanks so much for the replies. You are all wonderful! The reason I asked was to find out whether Whatkin was a local, and as he was still around in 1851, I guess he was. So he is definitely not mine. As for you clever people finding him in 1841 in St Marylebone, with his brother William, I am gob-smacked! I have looked for months and not found him, and you do it in hours! Amazing! If someone would be kind enough to send the image, I would be very grateful. You kind people. Thanks a bunch.

Hi everyone from a new lister. Does anyone have knowledge of a Whatkin MORRIS in the 1841 census/ Both Ancestry and FindmyPast have him indexed as aged 25, living in High Wycombe. There are other MORRIS families in the index for this location, but I don't know if he is living in the same household as any others. I have been researching Watkin MORRIS, born 1813 in Crickhowell Beaconshire, Wales. I now have him in 1851,1861,1871,1881 census in Middlesex, where he worked as a builder. However, I can't find him in 1841, and this record sees to be the most hopeful in all England and Wales [the name Whatkin does not turn up again in the records]. I would be very grateful for any suggestions! Barbara in Adelaide -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG. Version: 7.5.467 / Virus Database: 269.6.2/787 - Release Date: 3/05/2007

Apologies if this comes through twice. My internet connection is playing up today. The Whatkin that you found in 1841 in Bucks is still there in 1851 with his wife Ann and children Edwin and Miriam. He is a chainmaker and was born in the county. Did your Whatkin have a relative called William? If so, in 1841 they are in St Marylebone in Middlessex. Watkin has been transcribed as Walken. He is a mason and William is a carpenter. I can send you the details if you like.
