I've just plodded through 25 images of baptisms for the above parish, from 1826 -1837. There are many baptisms for people who lived in other parishes such as West Tumby Allotments, Langriville, Toynton All Saints, Coningsby, Wood Enderby. Here's where I started in 1826 http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=531363&iid=152650 Seems to be the same from when the church first opened in 1817/1818. If you search through the PR, make sure that you start with image one and don't skip the first few pages.

If any Timberline researchers think that the surname could be 'corrupted' to Tombline, there's a baptism for Mary, daughter of John and Elizabeth in 1832 in Wildmore parish. http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=531363&iid=152684 Plus Elizabeth Agnes, daughter of Anthony and Agnes, also in 1832 in Wildmore parish. http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=531363&iid=152685 Pam Proud to be a member of Lincolnshire Family History Society http://www.lincolnshirefhs.co.uk/

I can't resist sharing one of my favourite stories which may prove to say that we city people in non farming/ranching parts of Western Canada probably don't know the term "beast". As a young bride I left city life to rent a house that backed onto a cattle farm. I soon learned that cattle were escape artists or our local farmer was a poor fence keeper as it became a common occurrence to have the herd appear on the wrong side of the fence. They'd come charging down the road and spread into the yards tromping over the garden frantic to get back through our solid fence to the safety of their pasture. Annoyed on this occasion and in the panic of the moment I called up the farmhouse and yelled, "The cows are in my yard!" There was a long pause. Then a voice said in calm response: "Cows?.....Do you mean the heifers!" But, yes...my Lincolnshire born granddad Edward Plowright called them 'beasts'. Linda B.C. Canada I was going fishing in Northumberland last year and had to stop driving my car because some young heifers had escaped from a field and were on the road. I went to tell the farmer, who lived just a short distance away, and he said ''o. the beasts are out again.''. So the term ''beasts'' is still used today certainly in Northumberland.

I know that baptism entries within early PRs often recorded only the name of the child and of the father. But what should be made of a situation around 1700 in which all entries except the particular family of interest have the names of both parents? One would have thought that if it was the normal practice of the clerk/minister to record both father and mother he would take that action for all baptisms - except in the case of an illegitimate child where one usually sees the name of the mother only. Frustratingly all eight or so siblings in which I am interested have only fathers name recorded and they are among dozens of other entries having the name of both father and mother. What should be inferred from this? It may be relevant that I have been unable to trace a marriage for the father in the parish - have not yet searched adjacent parishes. Any suggestions please?

Hello Jan Not really very knowledgeable about SA. We went twice when our daughter and family lived there and, on the 2nd occasion, we drove west as far as Port Lincoln. At that time I was unaware of a distant SIZER relative who lives in Port Pirie as her ancestor jumped ship there, otherwise would have looked her up. It was early April and the weather was hot, 38° - lovely and hot in my opinion! - but that's probably after too many years here on the south coast. The locals were at pains to tell us it isn't usually that hot at that time of year. Driving down the peninsula to Port Lincoln we passed through places like Louth Bay and Lincs. names were all over the place. There were people para surfing on the beaches and it was beautiful. The previous January they had had a bad bush fire, rather a grass fire as it's all agricultural, but lost a lot of houses. We would have loved to have explored further but had to get back to Sydney to work. We visited Quorn, named after the village in Leicestershire where some of my husband's ancestors lived and his father was born. Can't tell you about Debney Road at all, I'm afraid. Most likely it was named after your husband's ancestor. Hope you have a great trip there. Go in summer as it's pretty cold in winter.
