Hi Everyone Thanks very much to the people who are trying to help me find the right parents for Ann Serjeant 1747 ....hopefully we will find proof eventually The researchers on this site are great giving their time!! Thank you Best Wishes Fay ( NSW Australia)

Geoffrey, I don't know if this is really what you're looking for, but for what it's worth, my father's entire side of the family was from Burwell (Lode), Cambs., and I've been there to visit three years in a row, and will be returning there again at the end of this month. I have a lot of pictures of the area as well. If there's anything that you'd like or think you could use, please feel free to contact me. Deb Moore

Thank you Paula for the great links. I guess there is no way of knowing if Susan Prior made dresses for the rich or poor or at home or in a sweatshop. it has given me a great idea of the fashios at that time though so Thanks again Alison >From: Paula Patterson <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [ENG-CAMS] Dressmakers >Date: Thu, 31 May 2007 22:53:53 +0100 > >http://www.fashion-era.com/victorian_occupations_wojtczak.htm >http://michellepetley1.tripod.com/id3.html >http://www.victorianweb.org/gender/ugoretz1.html >might give a flavour of what was involved. > >Alison PAGE wrote: > > Hi List, > > > > My ancestor Susan Prior nee Simons was a dressmaker in Cambridgeshire in > > 1871.

Greetings Geoffrey, Can You include me on the list please. Many Thanks Bob Strong

Hi List, My ancestor Susan Prior nee Simons was a dressmaker in Cambridgeshire in 1871. I would like to find out more about the work that this involved but entering dressmaker 1871 and variations into Google just sends me to references of census records. Does anyone know where i might look to find a potted history and perhaps illustrations too?

Hi Beryl I have answered off line Thanks Fay

Dear Listers, Can I please make it clear to the list that I have sent the above file direct to the many people who have requested it. I cannot send it to the list as it is obviously an attachment - and a large one at that. Keep sending the requests! Yours, etc. Geoffrey Woollard.

Hi Fay Did Serjeant Hayes belong to them? There were many HAYESes in Haslingfield. I'm still looking for the parents of William HAYES who married Mary SAMUEL in Harston in 1766. His marriage entry says he was of Guilden Morden but he wasn't christened there. I also have in my database Hannah SERJEANT who married William WILLMOTT in Haslingfield in 1796. They had a Serjeant WILLMOTT born 1804.

Geoffrey, I would very much appreciate receiving a copy. If you have a very long list, I would be happy to be added at the end, it would be worth the wait. Thank you. Margaret-Mary Adams

Hi Listers Ann Serjeant was christened Haslingfield 29 Jan 1747 and married Joseph Hayes in Haslingfield on 13 Oct 1770 LDS records record her parents as John and Elizabeth but I have been unable to find any records to tie her father John to the line of Serjeants in the village Can anyone help me please? Many Thanks Fay

Hi Geoffrey, If you are not too swamped with requests, I would love a copy. Many thanks for your kind offer. Best wishes, Julie.

Steve, Pertaining to this Scharvaumore...could there have possibly been a Southmore at the time somewhere close by? Since Sam's obit was written in 1903 and he was 88 when he died...perhaps if he were on his deathbed relating his story with an english accent, I can imagine Southmore could've sounded like Scharvaumore. Thanks so much Janine ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I'd like a copy too, thanks Geoffrey.
