Hi Lou I assume they were married by banns as it doesn't say otherwise in the parish register. My understanding is that the banns are read 3 times over succeeding weeks in both the bride and groom's parish churches where they lived so that " any just cause or impediment" can come to light as people would know them well. So I am not sure if it mattered where they worked unless they actually moved to be closer to work.

Hi, Missing Lincs, Someone reminded me, after my comment about old church register pages, that one should be careful if you are cleaning up after a deceased relative. They reminded me that two "live" World War I shells were recently found in a garage near Birmingham. It's bad enough that we have to train so many bomb-sniffing dogs and our relatives have explosives stored in their garage. I've been in combat and I have no wish to be near old ammunition. So, be careful! Lou

In 1761, most men walked to work. There may have been some who rode horses or hitched a ride on a cart, but I'd have to believe those were the exception. So, if I had a job in Bicker, I probably lived in Bicker or just across the parish border in a neighboring parish. There were some people who did walk a long way to work, my grandfather was one of them, but that was rare. The railways did not arrive until around 1840 and trams and buses followed after that. The fact that everyone walked is one reason why some villages had several shoemakers in the village.

If I remember correctly someone only had to live somewhere for 3 weeks before marriage to be "of" that place at the time of marriage. Marriage allegations state that the person has lived in the parish for 4 weeks. It has nothing to do with place of birth.

OK, Missing Lincs, Got all the calendars turned ovfer to November yet? Put "New calendars" on the to-do list. This month, let's do two things: 1. Let's find out more about one woman from your tree who was born in Lincolnshire. 2. If you have or know of any pages that were torn out of a register or other source, let's get them back where they belong. A friend of mine once found some baptism records that had been ripped out of a register by a researcher in her family. It shouldn't happen, but it has. If you know of one, let's get it back to where it belongs. If you are not sure of where that is, contact the Lincolnshire Family History Society for help. And for your own well-being (this is from my physical therapist), practice getting up off the floor. You might want to start next to a wall, but avoid using a chair that might tip or slip. My Phys. therapist tells me that she has lots of senior clients who are terrified of the floor because they can't get up. Practice with a friend. While you are down there, collect all the dust bunnies! Lou (list admin.)

Hi I am trying to find birth details or a JANE HANSON who married PHILIP WILLOWS in 1733 at Theddlethorpe St Helen.

Hello all, There are several new publications now available from www.genfair.co.uk (Parish Chest are apparently not available for 2 weeks): On CD Rom and also available as downloads: Loveden Deanery Baptisms & Burials 1754-1812 Louth Cemetery Burial Registers 1855-1998 Death Duties Vol. 2 1822-1836 Almost all CDs published by the Society are now available as downloads on the Genfair website. This does not include the Probate Indexes (published by us but copyright to the Archives and a large file) or the War Memorials CDs which are very picture heavy and very large files. Extracts from Workhouse Minutes available as books or downloads: Caistor Union part 6 1879-1890 Louth Union part 2 1845-1854 I am also informed that Findmypast are offering free access to their entire record collection for Remembrance Weekend (8th & 9th November). You need to register for a free FMP account if you wish to take advantage of the offer. There is a lot of Lincolnshire information, prepared by the LFHS, on the website.

Hi, This is just a brief note of thanks to everyone who has responded to my query about Peters Point House both off and on list. They have all been very helpful. Kind regards, Rod S.

Hi Beverley, My name is Barry J D Wilson, and I was born in Gedney in 1938. My reason for sending this reply to you, is to thank you very much for the information about Sutton Bridge. My first encounter with Sutton bridge was when I was about 11 years old, when Myself and brothers Michael and Geoffrey along with our two best friends, at that time,decided to walk from home in Gedney to Sutton Bridge. On the way, we called in Long Sutton at the International Stories to pick up a bag of broken biscuits for the journey. Now that was a very long walk for such young children, I was the eldest, with one of our friends being about the same age, but my brothers were only ( and 7 years old, as was the other friend ). We made it to Sutton Bridge, and one of us thought that we had heard of the famous Peter Scott and his wild life sanctuary, down the river side, so of we went to find this place, it was a long long walk, on we went past the wood yard and we could not find the place that we were looking for, we even went through a foot and mouth disinfectant bath, but we avoided that, and at last we saw the sanctuary on the opposite side of the river, by this time it was getting on ,(time wise ) so we decided to try to find our way home, taking the real back roads to Lutton and then home. We were made to regret this little adventure, because when our father found out what we had done, you can guess what happened, ( a good hiding was the order of the day ), not only that, but we had worn our our school shoes, so our father had to mend then with studs. My next notable time in Sutton Bridge, was in 1953, February, to be precise, and I had decided to treat myself to the picture house in Sutton Bridge, which was the first time that I had gone out without all of my friends, of the time,(17 of them, I might add),when I left the Cinema, it thought that I would catch the local bus at the Bridge end, and while I waited, I stood and watched the River Nene come over it's bank, right at the bridge. As you know, that was the year of the great flood and storm that killed so many people both in England , but more so in Holland. Sutton Bridge has a special place in my heart for many reason's, but that was by far the most impressive, and only local people will know this, but for the river to come over the top of it's bank at the point, it needed to have risen over 20 feet high, the last bit of that story was that, there used to be an old Coal barge lodged solid in the mud bank, and had been for over 50 years, well the river floated that barge over the river bank, at a point very near to the Wood yard. Thank for you indulgence, in allowing me to relate this little tale of mine, from all those years ago.

According to Kelly's, the occupant of Peterspoint House in 1926 was H W Hutson. In 1922 it was Herbert Waldemar Oliver. Curious that the initials of the two people are the same. Antony Hi Listers, I wonder if anyone living near Sutton Bridge knows where Peterspoint House is? The time frame I'm looking at is the 1920s-1930. In a related search I have also come across 'Pitpointie' which I believe is in Angus, Scotland and wondered I have incorrectly transcribed the address some years ago. Can anyone help? Regards, Rod S.
