I would like to hear from anyone researching the TURNER's or anyone who can help me with progressing my family history. George Turner b 1808 to Isaac and Ann. William and Sarah may have been his Grandparents. George is recorded in Aylesbury in 1851. I have confirmed that he was born in Leverstock Green. Any help would be appreciated, Sheila

Hi I would like to hear from anyone researching the TURNER's. I know Isaac and Ann to be the parents of George b 1808 - my 2xG Grandfather. I believe his Grandfather was William. Any additional information would be appreciated Sheila

Hello Yvonne I assume that you have the marriage certificate for Ada Cox and Albert Howard which will give you the name of Ada's father. There are the following Ada Coxs born at about the right time in Hertfordshire Births Mar 1876 Cox Ada Hertford 3a 398 Births Jun 1884 Cox Ada Charlotte Watford 3a 519 Births Sep 1884 Cox Ada Edmonton 3a 380 Births Dec 1884 COX Ada Berkhampstead 3a 569 Births Dec 1884 COX Ada Joan Watford 3a 544 These references are from http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ With two Adas born in Watford in the same year, you will need to order a birth certificate to find the right one. Hope this helps Good luck with your search Dot in Salisbury, Wilts on 15/10/05 7:05 pm, Yvonne Buhagiar-Fountain at wychwoods@telkomsa.net wrote: > Hi All, > > I am new to this list and wish to post my research interests. > > HOWARD / COX / SMITH - Watford > (Albert William HOWARD *c.1880 m.

Welcome to the list Janet - good to have you onboard I am interested in your family, not because I have any of the ones that you listed, but because they are from Bushey.

Hello Everyone Please excuse the cross posting but I have hit a mjor brickwall and I dont know quite where to turn next, so i am hoping that this message will give some clues or insight as to what I should do next. My 3x great grandmother Hannah Mary GOODCHILD, was born c1823 birth place unknown. She gives birth to my 2 x great grandfather Horace in the Chelsea workhouse in March 1848. On 12 April 1849 she marries Richard WARD, her father is named as William GOODCHILD a gardener (the marriage cert doesnt state if he is deceased or not) Hannah Mary WARD nee GOODCHILD dies in the Sept quarter of 1849, so no chance of learning her birth place in 1851.... If anyone has a William GOODCHILD in their tree who would be likely to be raising a family in 1823 ish time could they please see if they could possibley have my Hannah Mary in their tree...I would be most grateful. Many many thanks Tezz _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger 7.5 is now out. Download it for FREE here. http://messenger.msn.co.uk

Hi List, Has anybody come across a house called "PENRHYN " in the Broxbourne or Cheshunt or Wormley area in the post WW1 time frame ? It shows up as an address in a 1929 marriage certificate as where the bride was living, do not thing it is her mothers place. ( no father on certificate ). Bride most likely in service. Any help would be wonderful. Many thanks. Daphne NEW ZEALAND.
