Thanks for all the suggestions. >From Charles Foy's Marriage and Death Certs we know his parents are Allen & Ann Elizabeth Foy. Allen was a gardener and Ann Elizabeth's maiden name was unknown. Charles firstly believed his birthplace was in Surrey, then it changes to Middlesex. He had some education as I have his signature. He was Methodist. Unsure as to when he arrived in Australia, though he married in 1869. He had a large family: Allan Eliza Mary Ann Elizabeth Evangeline John Henry Charles William Margaret Harold Augustus Wallbridge I'd be interested in the christening records of Susan & Eliza. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Irving" <pauljirving@ntlworld.com> To: <eng-buckinghamshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 11:30 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-Buck] Hammerson, Buckinghamshire .... again... > The birth certificate of Eliza or (if you can find it) Charles would > confirm their mothers maiden name, & the marriage certificate would give > Allen & Ann Elizabeths fathers names.
