Thanks to both Jean and Evelyn - I have now tracked Mary and James through all the censuses - and as James was alive on the 1861 and died before 1871 I now have a smaller period in which to look for his death. Yvonne

Hi List I feel very cheeky asking for another look up. I have been using 1837online to try and find James and Mary BLACKWELL on the 1861. I expected to find them in Mile End but they aren't there. Like most of the family they seem to have scooted back and forward between Ware and London. Herts is not yet on 1861 so I could not check out my theory, Does anyone have access to the 1861 for Herts and could look for Mary BLACKWELL age 43 born either in Ware or London - she keeps changing her mind!!!!!! Richard BLACKWELL son age 8 born Ware Caroline BLACKWELL daughter age 6 born Southwark Elizabeth BLACKWELL daughter age 3 born Bethnal Green There should be older kids but these are the ones most likely to still be at home By 1861 Mary may be a widow - if not then her hubby is James BLACKWELL age 48 born Medmenham, Bucks Many thanks again - and apologies for posting another look up so soon. Yvonne

Hi Yvonne I have found your family living in Middlesex. Image sent off list regards Evelyn

According to the 1861 Census at Egham in Surrey, George Frederick FURNIVALL was born at Hemel Hempstead in about 1781 or 1782. I would be most grateful if SKS with access to the relevant Parish Register could check for his baptism and determine the names of his parents, and for any siblings he might have please. I am hoping that George might have had a brother called William Henry. Wendy Verwood, Dorset, UK (I have posted this before but not received any response, so trying again)

Hi Thelma Thanks for looking - I would have expected them to be in Ware itself - her Dad lived in Upland Row - sisters Crib St and Middle Row and High St. One in Great Amwell Maybe she went to Australia - like her brother - well it's back to the drawing board.

Ann was a PAGE by birth - she married Henry in London in 1843 but they are not there in 1851 Her sisters married in London but then went back to Ware so I wonder did Ann do likewise.

Dear Listers, I don't know whether any of you have dealt with a firm called 'My History'? I sought their assistance this afternoon with a program problem that I had earlier today. The assistance was provided cheerfully, quickly, and generously.

I have info on the family of Frederick and Alice Simmons who's son Arthur married a Florence Clara Heskins in south hackney 1907 and then moved to Bushey.If you need to knowmore, just contact me off line.

Thank you Chris very much. Has it changed much do you know? Are there any of the old houses still there? I was in Stevenage Old Town a couple of years ago, but I didn't know where Back Lane was, and didn't have much time there, so I just walked down the High Street, and took pictures of old buildings that were there. I had a lovely day, but I am sure I didn't go down Church Lane. I will have to go again and have a look.

TIA Margaret .....

I'm at a complete dead end. Can anyone help. I am looking for Esther Phillips who was the wife and executor of her husband's Rev Maurice/Morris Phillips will when he died in 1822. The will was written in 1816 and her address at this time is Harpenden, HRT. Rev Maurice died at Mill Hill (?) MDX 1822. The will was proved at (looks like Soudon although it is probably London). I am looking for anything on Rev Maurice Phillips born 1767, and/or his wife Esther Phillips who at some stage was living at Harpenden. Perhaps Rev Phillips was a rector of the CoE Church in Harpenden in 1816. His will states his name as Maurice Phillips and in small circle similar to a handwritten copyright mark are the capital letters (LL) or (LS), (LT). Does anyone know what this means? Keeping my fingers crossed. Actually we have a morturary broach of the Rev Maurice Phillips with the inscription on the reverse side. Rev Maurice Phillips, died 1822 age 55 years. The only connection I can make between myself and Rev Maurice is that my great grandmother was Hannah Ada Sylvia Phillips, daughter of John Phillips born 'nr Bristol' 1840s. As the broach has been in the family for more than 100 years, I can only presume/hope that she brought it with her and that she is the granddaughter of Rev Maurice. Long shot, but I would love to solve the riddle of the morturary broach. Thanking you for your interest. Cynthia Foley Dubbo NSW Australia

If he was an Anglican then look at this for places to look for info http://www.lambethpalacelibrary.org/holdings/Guides/clergyman.html Of course he may not have been an Anglican minister which would make it harder still to track him down..
