    3. Hi Nancy - 1861 details for William: 14 Peel Terrace, Alverstoke William R SEARLE 38 Captain Royal Marines. B Portsmouth Jane 30?. B Barbadoes, West Indies Sophy 15. B Barbadoes, West Indies Isadore (son - that's what it is entered as) 14. B Southsea, Hampshire Elizabeth DONDEY 34 Gen servant. B Alstead, Sussex. If you didn't get the occupation for 1871 it is 'Retired Col. on full pay'. So he's been 'promoted' and aged only 8 yrs in 10! Hope that helps a little.

    1. Re: [ENG-HANTS] Turrell family tree
    2. Patricia O'Shea
    3. Hi Erica - not much to add but there is a Lewis TURRELL born 1830 in Lewes, Sussex in 1851. He is in the household of William and Ann CHIPP 56 Great Russell St. Brighthelmston, sussex. Occupation general labourer. William CHIPP is a ships carpenter and Lewes is just north of Brighton. Curiously there is a marriage on Pallots Marriage Index for a Lewis TURRELL to Mary MORLEY, in Soho 1828. May turn out to be unrelated but perhaps worth tucking away. It's possible that if you put a query on the Sussex list that someone may have access to the 1841 for Lewes (although I suspect it is pretty large). Hope this helps a little.

    1. Elizabeth Chittle in 1841
    2. Barry Andrews
    3. Hi all, Can any one locate Elizabeth CHITTLE born about 1817. She was possibly born in Thatcham Berkshire . By 1851 she is the house keeper of David WEST, living in Tadley with at least 4 children by the name of CHITTLE. BY 1861 she has had 4 more children and still living with David WEST in Tadley By 1871 she is Elizabeth WEST. How about a marriage for these two David WEST and Elizabeth Chittle. This links to my search for George WEST born about 1848 in Tadley.

Or whether the person is still alive for census for that year if you know death date. Very useful.

    3. Bob - reply to your message of 10/2 i've been away - - re: William Ramsay Searle - IGI says he was christened 04 JUN 1824, St. Mary's, Portsea, s/o Richard Searle and Sophia; I have no bd or bpl IGI says he married 9 June 1845 St. Michael's, Barbados, Jane Abel Leacock (family said he mar. Jane or "JA"/so agreement there). Fam. story says 2 children, Sophie, unmar., & Theodore or Wm. Theodore; that Wm. Ramsay was a Colonel (and, not yet aware his son had left home, lied about his age,& changed his name,) inspected the troop not recognizing his son; this would have been between 1866 and 1876 as son married in Halifax in 1876 under name of Staples. Only other family info on Wm. Ramsay is that he and Jane divorced, that's one reason I had hoped to find Jane and kids with him in 1871 to pin down date/time of separation. (incidently, have found Jane on serveral census' listing herself as a widow!). 'guess I need to break down and pay to get a copy of her death records listed on free bmd as June quarter 1901 in Brighton. No, I haven't located Wm.

    3. Greetings! I have now had several messages off-list from subscribers who have received a strange email purporting to originate from Rootsweb. The message is shown below and it is appearing to originate from other lists too. It is suspected to be a spoof and a poorly masked attempt to harvest email addresses by hoping the recipient will click on the link sent, thus confirming their existence. I would urge anyone receiving these messages to delete them and NOT click on the link. Sometimes persons engage third party anti-spam services to filter out their unwanted mail, and send out such messages. As a matter of routine, I always reject any requests to comply, for it is the user's responsibility to manage their own "white lists" and not expect others to do it for them. In the case of messages being routed via Rootsweb, there are plenty of adequate in-built safeguards to prohibit spam from being forwarded - only the Listowner gets it!
