Hi, Was Canal Walk at one time beside a canal? Thanks, Edna - Ottawa

Hello all - NOT FOR FURTHER LIST DISCUSSION PLEASE Please be careful in repeating messages from other lists. Check with us first before posting - for a variety of reasons: 1.Emails posted to the lists remain the copyright of the poster and rootsweb state that specific pemission needs to be obtained from the original poster before reproduction. 2.Don't take what you read elesewhere as gospel unless you can validate it. Do you believe everything you read in the paper? 3. Words like "fraud" and "scam" must be used with extreme caution. This could be libellous! Just because a firm is charging 3 times the official rate to obtain a certificate does not make the activity illegal or fraudulent. 4.Finally, what has been achieved is the unwitting promotion of a commercial site - again contrary to the rootsweb UAP Thanks Take care Linda & Tony

Hi all: There were several messages on the YORKSGEN list in January 2005 relating to the activities of this site; I quote from a message dated January 19, 2005: "Gov-Certificates is a professional search and Supply Company for the supply of Birth certificates, Marriage certificates and Death Certificates" This thread included mention of the £23 charge made by Gov-Certificates.co.uk, which was charged in euros by "Certificates SEO31 France" and suggestions to send the information to the watchdog site http://www.consumercomplaints.org.uk/ If this was done back then, surely this site should not still be operating! There was also a problem re "Research UK St. Leonards", AKA Ancestor Detectives on a different list, which was being investigated by Sussex Police back in April. The old adage "buyer beware" clearly applies here. The GRO site will not make fraudulent charges nor charge you excessive prices, as the tariff has been established, so I wouldn't bother with other sites that claim to get your certificates quicker etc. I hear lots of reports on the several Rootsweb sites about how good the GRO service has been.

Jenny, Pigot's 1830 Directory lists on p. 246 eight parish churches in Winchester, including St Thomas, in St Thomas street. The Directory goes on to note that: "there is also ... a neat Roman Catholic chapel" - perhaps St Thomas More? I don't know much about Winchester so shan't comment any further. The parish church of Alverstoke is St Mary: it's located in Alverstoke village, now part of Gosport. Alverstoke parish is an ancient one, its origins lost in the mists of time. Gosport was relatively insignificant until the Royal Dockyard at Portsmouth started to grow in importance in the 18th century and its activities and labour demands spilled over into Gosport. Portsmouth itself grew rapidly at the same time. The evolution of local government in Gosport is as convoluted as it gets, coloured by rivalry between Alverstoke and Gosport, and marked by confusion as to the "correct" name at any one time. Briefly, until 1761 the only local authority was the parish of St Mary, Alverstoke. In that year the Gosport Commissioners were created with certain limited powers. Prior to that, in a 1682 charter to the Borough of Portsmouth, Charles II had included Gosport in Portsmouth borough. This charter was nullified as part of the negotiations leading to the acceptance of the throne by William III following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Meanwhile Holy Trinity church was erected in Gosport in 1696 as a convenience to the parishioners. This eventually became the parish church of Gosport but I can't, for the moment, find when that change occurred - perhaps not until the 20th century? Gosport does not appear to have been affected by the Reform Acts of the 1830s, and it was not until 1895 that the Gosport and Alverstoke Urban District was created. Gosport finally achieved the status of a borough in 1922 - surprisingly late in its history. When I was living in Alverstoke at the end of the War we still felt somewhat separate from, and superior to, the Gosportonians!

Hello Tony , Linda and list could I ask for a look up for Thomas Oakley please Free BMD has an entry which should be him In Alverstoke Vol 2b Page 324 June 1880. Im looking for the second husband of my gggrandmother. As alway thank you . Your fan in Cairns.

According to the IGI, a relative was baptised at St Thomas, Winchester in 1856. A google to ascertain the address (and exact name if different) of this Church gave me a St Thomas More RC Church in Winchester but I couldn't find a present-day Anglican one. Hugh Wallis's IGI Batch Numbers web page refers to St Thomas and generally appends "(RC)" to Catholic Churches. I am fairly certain this relative would be Anglican. Please can someone confirm the name and - for bonus points - give me the address of this Church. Additional question: if an extracted record cites merely "Alverstoke, Hampshire, England" it presumably refers to the Parish Church. What is the name (and address?) of that Church? -- Jenny M Benson
