    3. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, Recent list mail points out the 'lows' on FH research. Last week a day at the London archives turned up nothing. It is not fun searching for a parish record in Whitchapel between 1840 and 1850. There must have been a queue for baptisms every day, such was the population density in each parish. I tried deep breathing to avoid the stress. The tube was vile on the return trip. However there are 'highs' as well. On a roll - at the HRO today, a day trip has produced a lot of new data to sort out. As a starter, anybody with a BROWN and GRIGG interest please get in touch as an Overton will has shown a family link between the Browns, yeomen of Polehampton and Samuel Grigg, shopkeeper of Newbury ca 1785. Another one at Ellisfield: Johannes SMITH of Woolverton and Elizabeth OLIVER of Kingsleer (sic) married 1 Oct 1685. And for Bates researchers: Joseph baptised 16 Oct 1768 at Overton to Joseph and Mary BATES - Warrener And for Wheeler researchers: Three of the four sons of Richard WHEELER of Kingsclere became barge (as in canal) builders in various parts of the country. A large number of WHEELER at Bramley. A possible solution for the surname of the wife Elizabeth of John FRY (Brewer in London) born Bramley, She is from Kingsclere despite the 1851 saying Wotton! She has to be Elizabeth OWEN because his nephew Charles OWEN is staying with them in the 1851 census. Many early 18th century PORTSMOUTH family members found in Pamber and a GIRDLER family at Elvetham in the late 18th century. Anybody with links to WATERIDGE aka WATRIDGE?
