    1. 1841/1851 Census look-up ALVAREZ
    2. Lorna & Brian Jones
    3. Hello I have been on the list previously asking about this name so you may recognise it. I have now checked the parish records for Albury, Aldbury and Tring, and have found one baby's death but no mention of the name I am searching. If someone has access to the 1841 and/or 1851 Census for these districts could you please do a look-up for me, any mention of the surname would be helpful. John ALVAREZ c. 1830 His father reported to be Rev. D. ALVAREZ. Thanks Lorna.

    3. Hi Mike, Thank you so much for the 1851 census look up. Poor old Rebecca, having to work as an Ag Lab at the age of 66 (although one of my 3G Grandmothers here in Somerset was still apparently working as an Ag Lab when she was in her 80s!).

Cottered Wm do Son U 20 do do James do Son U 17 do do There were only ten dwellings and 51 souls recorded in 1851 so the DOUTONs were easy to find. Even today, driving through Throcking, blink and you've missed it! Nevertheless, it boasted a church and a resident rector in 1851. See http://website.lineone.net/~pjoiner/genuki/HRT/Throcking/index.html for information on Parish Records etc., but for post 1841, the family records centre or HALS are the first places to look, I would have thought.

    3. I wonder if some kind soul would do me a great favour, please, and see if they can find my Rebecca CUTMORE (nee OSBORNE) in the 1851 census of Much Hadham? Rebecca married Thomas CUTMORE (son of John CUTMORE and Mary WRENN) at Much Hadham in 1807; Thomas died in 1949 and was buried at Much Hadham on 16 Dec 1849, but Rebecca didn't die until sometime after 1861 - I'm still trying to locate her death. I found Rebecca in the 1861 census of Much Hadham as follows (the enumerator had spelt her surname as CATMORE): 1861 census Much Hadham, Hertfordshire Rebecca CATMORE, Head, Wid, 77, Sawbridgeworth, Herts George CATMORE, Grandson, Un, 28, Ag Lab, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire And of course, if any other listers have links to the above family, or have further info on the Much Hadham CUTMOREs, I would be very interested, and am always happy to share info!

    3. Ivan, A word of caution about e-mail filters. How do you control your filter settings for "new-to-you" cousins to contact you via e-mail? I use Hotmail's filter on one particular account. I used to use that address for all my RootsWeb lists so that's the address found in the archives. Forgetting I had left that e-mail address on a message board, I discovered recently a new cousin had been trying for over 2 years to contact me. It wasn't until I posted again with another e-mail address that she was able to contact me. I know how much problem spam can be, however sometimes we're working against ourselves by keeping the important messages out.

The one I belong to has been busily researching local residents of all periods and indexing local sources, including the 1841 census, the local parish registers, the tithe awards, various manorial sources, collections of old deeds, records of local industry, the oral history of elder residents, and so on, so if this ain't a one-place study I don't know what is! Furthermore, a fair number of our members are family rather than local historians; in many cases they joined the Hist Soc merely to have a chinwag with other local residents descended from old local families. I moved on to local history from genealogy (or rather, as well as genealogy), when I was faced with a dead-end on one of my trees and started looking through local wills and tax records for genealogical clues, ending up by constructing quite a large and complex picture of the goings-on of a widespread yeoman farming community spread across NE Herts and NW Essex. Still couldn't break the dead-end though - but I am 99% certain that the birth record I need would be in Clavering Congregational chapel's register - if it ever gets found again! Lawrence, Waltham Abbey, Essex (just about).

To pick up pointers and learn how to research a community, try joining the local historical society nearest where you live, even if you have no ancestral ties there; you'll soon pick up on what sources are being researched or indexed and the methods involved, and before long you'll probably be more than ready to tackle the place you're really interested in! Of course, there may well already be a group researching its history. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Ha Haa! Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

I wonder if the parish in question might be more amenable now? The LDS has teams photographing/filming old records all over the world - and at the India Office Collection in the British Library constantly (Thank goodness!) It's always worth asking.
