Hello, I am researching the surname WADE. I have been a little quite the last couple of months but thought it time I placed another request. I would love to find descendents of James WADE and Elizabeth Mary FIELD. James was born on the 12th May 1846 in Tring, Hertford and Elizabeth in1846 in Westminster. They were married in 1868 in Westminster area and had 11 children 2 of which died young. I have marriages for a couple but nothing for some. My husband descends from the fourth child Frederick Charles WADE born 1875 in Tring. He first married Mary Ann FOGG in 1897 and had two sons (that I know of) and second married Kate GOODMAN in 1923 and had 2 daughters that I know of. Would desperately love a photo of Frederick and Mary. Thank you Pat

Could someone advise exactly what areas are covered when the Militia Lists specify Preston and Langley in the district of Hitchin, please. For example, for what area would Poynders Green males be recorded? Philip

Anyone researching the following please get in touch: BROWN & PALLET Bayford EDWARDS Colney Heath DEACON DEIGHTON WARRELL HOLT NORRIS all Watford regards Dave Frampton

I am new to the List. I am looking for a Peter MORTLOCK who I believe to have been born in Hatfield Herts/Essex? in c 1800, also brother James born c 1802. I believe they later moved to Suffolk, around 1822. Can anyone help with Hatfield registers, or a Hertfordshire Baptism Index? Many thanks, Arthur Palmer in NZ

Hi Alan and List, I lived in Belswains Lane where the path lead down to the site of what was an old hospital I believe now built with homes and on the other side of the path is the sub post office and opposite a pub which I can't remember the name. The row of houses I lived in were on the canal side and last row before the Nash Mills side of the JD site going towards Hemel running parallel of Apsley. I used to walk along another path at the end of the row over the bridge and across the road to Apsley station. I'm not aware of the local history though but it was a nice place.

Many thanks to those good people who enlighten me as to my ancestors occupation, It seems it would be Higgler. Thanks Deb New Zealand

Thanks Mike, bearing that in mind and looking at the image I think Higgler could be the answer. Thanks Deb

I have just found on the 1851 Census for Bovingdon on Ancestry an ancestor but am having trouble reading his occupation. It looks like Hegglor/Wegglor/ Cegglor. Please could somebody enlighten me as to what it could be. Many thanks Deb New Zealand

Has anyone traced the family history of the Dickinsons. I am also related to Dickersons..from Kimpton. My Great Great Grandmother was Ann Dickerson..sometimes spelt Dickinson or Dickson or Dixon. She was born in 1801, father William Dickerson and mother Mary ? Sister Harriet 1797 and Elizabeth 1799 also born Kimpton. I have not been able to trace William Dickerson or Mary ?. All three girls Ann, Harriet and Elizabeth married in Wheathampstead. Ann to George Lines, Harriet to George Paternoster and Elizabeth to William Coleman.

Could it be "higgler" or haggler = Pedlar, usually with a horse and cart, also called a haggler. The word haggler, that is someone who bargains, comes from this name.

Hi, Our grandfather HENRY FLITTON received a medal which reads - "Presented by John Dickinson & Co.

Hi List, Is there anybody researching the family of WILLIAM DIGHTON / DYTON of Nazeing who was born about 1808 / 10 and or any of the name of Dighton / Deighton / Dyton / Dayton in the Nazeing Broxbourne area please. I have a HESTER DIGHTON who married a CHARLES PERRY in Broxbourne in 1800 but cannot find any Dightons baptisms. There was a burial of a William Dighton in Hoddesdon in 1821 who might be Hester's father. Any help would be great, also posting to Essex list. Daphne New Zealand

Hi there Croxley Mills, indeed, no longer exists. However they were in actual fact Dickinson's Paper mills based at Croxley, where it joins the border with Watford in Hertfordshire - hence "Croxley Script". Dickinson's paper mills have long been converted into the massive Croxley Business Park and Croxley itself still has references to its Dickinson history, with streets having names such as Dickinson Avenue/Square, Mill Lane, etc. Dickinson's used to have its own railway line (now a cycle path) that connected to Watford Junction. Dickinson's Sports Ground, to the best of my knowledge, also still exists as a playing field for general use, although I'm sure it won't be long before developers build on it.
