Hi Everyone. How are you. I am looking for the Staines Family that lived in Kelshall. There is a Joseph Staines that married a Sarah Player in 1800 in Kelshall. I know there children. But I don't know there parents. Please help. From Annette.

Hello Annette, According to the Militia Lists of Kelshall, there is a record of a Joseph STANES listed as follows: 1783 Joseph STANES Kelshall Servant 1784 Joseph STANES Kelshall Servant 1785 Joseph STANES Kelshall Labourer The term Servant generally indicates not a live in Servant but someone who is unmarried, so it would appear that this Joseph married somewhere between 1784 and 1785. Looking on the IGI, there is a marriage on 24 June 1784 to a Sarah Draper in Kelshall. Could Joseph snr have been married twice?? There are no other STANES (or variations thereof) in the Militia Lists of Kelshall. Do you have the 1851 census records for Joseph jnr and his mother Sarah Player?? If not let me know and I will give you the details. Sarah appears to have been born in Little Bury, Essex according to the 1851 and is aged 73 and a widow. There are no PLAYERs listed in the Militita Lists of Kelshall. Hope this helps in some small way. Janet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "annette wilkinson" <ewo29845@bigpond.com> To: <ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 12:31 PM Subject: [HRT] Staines Family. > Hi Everyone. > How are you. > I am looking for the Staines Family that lived in Kelshall. > There is a Joseph Staines that married a Sarah Player in 1800 in Kelshall. > I know there children. > But I don't know there parents. > Please help. >>From Annette. > > > ==== ENG-HERTFORDSHIRE Mailing List ==== > This list is for the discussion of Genealogy and History, primarily > regarding the English County of Hertfordshire.
