Dear Patricia I was interested in reading of your excitement trawling the Henlow and Arlesey villages and your discovery of all those relatives. I can't but help think that there can't be too many left to whom you are not connected:). I have an interest in Henlow which appears to be the roots of our family and I was wondering if your family might be connected to us. I will write down the ancestors in our line. John Sandon and Elizabeth Farre married 1559 Henlow John Sandon and Joan Allgood married 1586 Henlow Humphrey Sandon and Grace Turner married 1612 Therfield Humphrey(Umphrey) Sandon and Elizabeth Samuel Sandon and Elizabeth Humphrey Sandon and Elizabeth Hobbs married 1711 Henlow The family line then moved to Blunham and Shillington. We know very little of our family in Henlow and would dearly love to discover anything. Best wishes Clive Sandon Brisbane, Australia Researching Sandon, Sly, Bonus, Billing, Bush, Cox, Christian, King families in England/Australia 1850 to present day. > From: "patricia salter" <ps015p6402@blueyonder.co.uk> > Reply-To: ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2005 08:20:58 +0100 > To: ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [HRT] Problems Searching 1891 Herts Census > Resent-From: ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com > Resent-Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2005 01:21:03 -0600 > > May I suggest that it is usually far more rewarding to trawl through the > whole village on the census rather than just look for one person or one > family.
