Hello all, I am new to this list and have subscribed as I have found there to be a high concentration of DARVELLs, albeit different variations, in the Bucks area. I have searched the I.G.I. listings to no avail hence my post, this is a brick wall for me. I am hoping someone on the list is researching the DARVILL/E/ELL family line and may have my man in their family tree as father/brother/sibling. Or failing that, a Buckinghamshire Baptism C.d. 1765-1780, a Bucks Marriage C.D 1785-1815, a Bucks. Burial C.D. 1800-1822 which may have my man on file or his 1st wifes burial. I am looking for my g.g.g.grandfather Jacob DARVILL/E/ELL b.c1771. I have his 2nd marriage in 1823 to Catherine ALLOWAY at St.Marylebone (Pallot's M.I ) His surname was then written DARVELL, he was a widower and she a spinster. On the 1841census, HO107/679/9/ 25/8 his surname is DARVILL and address is:- 15 Little Harcourt Street, Marylebone, Middx. occupation Coachmaker. age 70, he is born out of the County, he is living with:- Catherine age 35 ?? ( I thought this was his daughter until I found them on the Pallot's M.I.), she also is not born in the County. Samuel age 20 - Male Servant, born in the County Thomas age 15 - Shop boy, also born in the County (my g.g.grandfather) I am aware that some of these ages are probably rounded down, but I also have Jacob's death cert. in Dec 1847, age 77yrs which means that his birth c.1771 is probably correct. I'm sorry this is such a long post, but I would appreciate any help or advice sks is able to give me. Many thanks for your time, April in Somerset

The biggest concentration of DARVELLs, under numerous spellings, is in and around Princes Risborough, where there is a place called Darvills Hill. You've probably found Princes Risborough is not on the IGI. However, its parish registers have mostly been transcribed by the Bucks FHS, who'll search them (& othes) for you, for a fee. http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/ There are lists online of the coverage of their databases, & they reckon they have all the marriages up to 1837. They sell transcripts of some parishes, but not Princes Risborough - yet. Their baptism coverage of neighbouring Monks Risborough (another hotbed of DARVELLs) doesn't include when Jacob was born, but the IGI does. I'm afraid my DARVELLs were earlier. I've looked in the Posse Comitatus for 1798, but there's no Jacob DARVELL/ILL/ALL or variants.
