Hello from New Zealand, Can anyone please help me, I have just discovered i have a third Policeman on my tree. I am looking for any info on my 3xGt grandfather William Bantick (one of Twins) at Great Waldingfield, Suffolk. He was chr 14 Jun 1859. I presume he was with the Suffolk Police force (Constabulary)? Where do I start to locate his service records. many thanks Monique Auckland New Zealand ----------------------------------------------------------------- Researching these Essex & Suffolk surnames: AMBROSE, AMOS, ARTHY, BANTICK/BANTOCK,(ALL/ANY) BARSHAM, BEAUMONT, BIRD, BOWERS, BOYCE, BULL, BUSS, CHILVER, CHURCH, COE, CROCKETT, CUTTS, DEATH, DIGGINS, DIXEY/DIXIE, DOW, DURRANT, FITCH, GAGE, GODDEN, GRIMWOOD, HARRINGTON, HISKEY, HOLLOWBREAD, HOWARD, HOW(E), HUM /HUMM, KEMBALL/KIMBALL (pre 1500), KIMMINS, LINGLEY, LONG, MEDCALF, MEEKINGS, MILLS, MIRRINGTON, MOTT, NUNN, PENTONEY, PORTER, RAMPLING, RANSON, RASH, ROSIER, RUSH, RUSHBROOKE, SMITH, THOMPSON, TURNER, WASS, WELHAM, -----------------------------------------------------------------

Just e-mail me at dj@dickjohns.freeserve.co.uk Dick of Norwich (U.K.).

I hope I may be permitted to put this little prayer on the list in the hope that it may give a little comfort to our listers in America. A Prayer For Today Every day I need you,Lord,but this day specially. I need some extra strength to face whatever is to be This day more than any day I need to feel you near, to fortify my courage and to overcome my fear. By myself I cannot meet the challenge of the hour. There are times when human creatures need a higher Power- to help them bear what must be borne. And so,dear Lord, I pray - hold onto my trembling hand and be with me today. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Garry & Marilyn in Tasmania Oz

As I sit here some hours after what has happened I am still in shock at the evil of this act. I find it hard to explain the sorrow I feel for the people that lost their lives and the anger I feel for the 'scum' that did this. I hope and pray that this is the end of it. God bless all Americans and god rest the souls of those who perished. >From a very tearful Tina in Essex

I have just come on to pick up my mail after watching the news with great sorrow today, I would like to take the opportunity to offer all our U.S. "cousins" my deepest condolences for this sad day in history. My prayers are with you and yours. Theresa Coquitlam, BC, Canada

Up until 1974 it was in Suffolk (along with Fritton, Gorleston, etc). Since then, it has been in Norfolk. It has, throughout that time, been in the Diocese of Norwich, not in St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. Hope this helps Simon www.suffolkchurches.co.uk - an alternative guide to the churches of Suffolk.

Rita and Don, As far as I know, the only British census that is searchable in the way you want is the 1881. None of the others have been extensively indexed or recorded electronically, although you may find that individual family history societies have indexed their own particular areas. I believe a 1% or 2% sample of the 1851 census is available on the internet, too. You can access the 1891 for Scotland through the Scots Origins site (www.origins.net ) but you have to pay a fee. The only other way from outside GB is to order the relevant census sections through your local LDS centre, but as I say they are not indexed and it will be a L-O-N-G job to trawl through the millions of addresses in search of your names. The 1901 census, as you may know, will be made available next year on the internet, again for a fee. Hope you are not too discouraged by this!

Good Evening Listers, Does anyone know if the total April 5, 1891 British Census, by all counties in England and Sources, is on a website or does anyone have the data on zip file? We desire downloading the total census so we can review the data for the surnames: SEADON, SEADEN, AND SHADICK. In the future we will also be asking for the same information for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, and 1881 Census. We know the 1881 Census has been put on disc by IGI, however we have found some errors in the addresses, (house or home numbers which did not exist) especially in Middlesex County and now desire checking the actual Census. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Rita (nee Seadon) and Don Shadick, in hot Florida. Come on WINTER!!!

I have noticed while I have been researching my HULL line that there appears to be a lot of HULLs in Inworth, Essex. There seems to be two families at least. I am wondering if they are linked in any way but I can't find it at present. I would be interested to know what other HULL researchers think. I seems to have also got stuck with William (born 1815) & Mary HULL (nee Spooner - born 1825) so if anyone can shed any further light on them I would be grateful.

Hi all I am looking any information on JARROLD'S in the STANTON area and a marriage of a NATHANIEL LISTER to a SARAH before 1765.Thank you Maureen Jarrold

I am researching in particular LAWS from all over the Fens, HARPER family from Feltwell, Nfk, and TURNER from Upwell, Nfk., pre 1855. I would love to hear from anyone else who has anything. I am stuck on my LAWS line at Hilgay, Nfk. Can anyone tell me what was happening in the mid 1850's that might have prompted migration? Was this area part of the potatoe famine? Thanks! John Laws FROM HILGAY, Nfk Hannah LAWS b. 1787 - May be Hannah the wife of James LAWS of Ditchingham based on birth date. On the 1841 census she is living in Hilgay with Thomas LAWS b. 1802 as head of household with also James LAWS b. 1804 along with several LAWS children. Hannah would have been only 15 when Thomas was born based on census ages, but could have been their mother. Thomas LAWS b. 1802 Robert LAWS b. 1808 husband of Rebbeca b. 1812 James LAWS b. 1804 living in Thomas(1802) LAWS house on 1841 census James LAWS b. 1807 husband of Jane 1816 (no children on 1841 census)A second James three year apart implies at least two different sets of parents. Mager LAWS b. 1816 William LAWS b. 1819 (my line) Robert LAWS b. 1821 Josiah LAWS b. 1824 husband of Elanor on 1841 census Rebekah LAWS b. 1825 daughter of Thomas b. 1802 Ann LAWS b. 1828 daughter of Thomas b. 1802 Jabez LAWS b. 1831 son of Thomas b. 1802 William LAWS b. 1831 On 1851 census he is living in Methwold with Josiah LAWS and is listed as a nephew. Henry LAWS b. 1832 son of Thomas b. 1802 Thomas LAWS b. 1832 son of Thomas b. 1802 Mary Ann LAWS b. 1841 daughter of Robert b. 1821 There was also a Susan STEVENS (b. 1825) age 16 living in the household of Thomas LAWS b. 1802 on the 1841 census. His daughter Rebekah was the same age. Also of note: On the 1851 census, a Robert TURNER born Hilgay, age 16 is living with my William LAWS b. 1819 and ALice HARPER LAWS and is listed as a nephew. I've never traced him down to see which side of the family he is from, but there may be a link to a TURNER family. I have not looked on the 1851 census for Hilgay. On the 1851 census, you will find William (1819), Mager (1816), and Josiah (1824) LAWS living next to each other in Methwold, Norfolk with their families. There is also a Robert LAWS who is in jail in Methwold at the time of the 1851 census. This Robert LAWS immigrated to Australia (which was a penal colony). I have contacted a relative of him in Australia who believes he may be a Robert LAWS born near Feltwell. William LAWS(1832) is living with Josiah and is listed as a nephew. William (1819) and Mager (1816) based on the births of Henry & Major were both living in Feltwell in 1844. I have found a couple of LAWS families in each of these villages besides the above listed. In such a little town, these LAWS are probably all related. I beleive that William, Mager, Robert, Josiah were probably brothers. Their father may have been a brother to Thomas. Thomas was only 14 when Mager was born so is unlikely the father. Perhaps and older brother who died. I found a Thomas LAWS with a Jabez(an odd name) as a son being Christened in nearby Littleport, Cambridgeshire where a lot of LAWS live and some married girls from Hilgay. I am still working at identifying the father of William and Mager LAWS. I have a speadsheet of many LAWS throughout the Fens region with about 250 entries. -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su
