thank-you Paul, Sherrie in GA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Irving" <pauljirving@ntlworld.com> To: <eng-buckinghamshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 5:55 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-Buck]request census-look-up/TOMS/1889/BuckinghamshireCounty Armed with everything below, you should be able to build up quite a picture. If you get some certificates, to confirm details, the Amersham parish register transcript, & perhaps some searches, you should be able to find out a lot more. Mursley appears to have only submitted entries on the IGI, & most of the baptisms in the parish registers haven't been transcribed (the marriages & deaths are complete up to about 1900) - but whoever submitted the Mursley IGI entries has covered the Dickens family rather thoroughly, including some deaths, back to 1779 Certificates (£7 each from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ - a prompt & efficient service References from FreeBMD - http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl Parish register transcripts & searches from http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/ They have published Amersham.
