Hi Lou Thank you for your response. Frances Minnitt, born 31 Dec 1852 at Welbourn was my great grandmother. She married Joseph Leonard Littlewood in 1873 at the Wesley Chapel, Clasket Gate, Lincoln. Her parents were George Minnitt b. Welbourn (1801-1870) and Sarah Lumbe b. Aubourn (1816-1857) . Leonard

Hi Jay I have not found a link to the John Minnett and Martha Wright that you mention. The furthest back that I have got so far is to John Minnitt (1739-1813) who died in Kettlethorp. He married Alissimon Hanson (1745-) in Girton 27 April 1767. I have no idea where my John was born or who his parents were. From this point on the names Hanson and Alissimon appear many times as either first or second names in the families of their descendants. For example my grandfather was Leonard Hanson Littlewood, the son of Frances Minnitt. Leonard

Hi Anne Thank you for the information about the possible locations of the St Chads' Memorial Inscriptions. I will try to investigate further. I live in South Wales so my hope was that they may have been accessible online or available on CD or in print.

History. I am seeking any information about the village Dorrington, Lincs & surrounds in the period from 1750 to 1800... I would like to know if at all possible, who owned the Lands, what life was like (i.e..) were there Droughts, Wars, Famine etc; this is for my own personal Ancestry as I try wherever possible to include this type of information with as many Ancestors in my Tree as possible... I do not just enter Names and Dates as I believe everyone has a story to tell. I have looked at Google, also Genuki and have found in 1801 Dorrington was a small Parish with just 225 people then the population rose to 379 in 1841 at which time the Earl of Harrowby was not only Lord of the Manor but he owned most of the land in the Parish....but who owned the land prior to 1841.., as I live in Australia it is difficult for me to access this type of information and I was wondering where would I look to find this type of information, perhaps online if at all possible. My GGG Grandparents William and Dorothy SHARP ( nee Phillips akas Phillars) were married in Dorrington at the Church of St. James & St John's Parish Church in 1765. .. the Witnesses were ( 1) ? Johnson (2) William Burnot after Banns....I am trying to piece together a little of what their lives were like prior and after their marriage.. I know William was a Farmer ( or Ag Labourer ) & together they raised 7 children between 1766 and 1773. Any information or assistance would be most appreciated.

Dear Anne, Thank you so very much for your help. I will have a look at the items you suggest and see what I can find. If I can't find what I want on the Lincs Archive website, I will certainly order in the film of the BTs. Thanks again, Elizabeth Gill

I am hoping that someone on the List may be able to steer me in the right direction with this problem. My ancestor Richard GILL lived in Great Hale after his marriage in 1699 and moved to Helpringham in 1702. In the entrance way to St. Andrews Church, Helpringham, carved into the inside wall is "Richard Gill, William Henry Archer 21 May 1724". No one knows the significance of the names and date, but one suggestion that has been made is that Richard and William may have been the Church Wardens. I have checked on Lincs to the Past to see if I can find a list of the Church Wardens, but this was unsuccessful. There is a family tradition of ancestors being Church Wardens (and other Parish Officers) so it is possible that this theory may be correct. Has anyone ever seen a list of the Church Wardens for Helpringham? For that matter, has anyone suggestions about where to look next? Elizabeth Gill in Melbourne, Australia

I've made a start this weekend to catalogue photos, docs etc and I'm ready to give up already :-( I will persevere but boy, wish I'd been more organised at the start! Lynda Christchurch NZ

If Helpringham has Churchwardens Accounts, these would give the names of the churchwardens, overseers etc., but judging by the state of the poor law documents, they may not have survived. However, the churchwardens often signed at the end of each year in the parish registers and BTs. I have looked at the registers for 1724/25 Helpringham on Links to the Past but there is no sign of churchwardens signing there. There are BTs covering this period, and if you live near an LDS library you should be able to order them. Lists of churchwardens are sometimes found in parish registers, but you would need to look at each page in the appropriate register to see if there is such a list. The churchwardens would have signed many documents that may survive in the parish records. Looking at the Lincs Archives website, this may help: HELPRINGHAM PAR/10/1 Vestry book 1576-1903 At front: election of officers and passing of accounts. >From back: index to vestry book, c1610; carr dike assesments, late 16th century, 1713, 1724, 1741; notes about the commons, 18th century; churchwardens' disbursements, 1720.

Can't give you a precise date or place, Lou, but it was June quarter 1891, somewhere in Grantham registration district. Judging by the fact that in the 1891 census there is a Ellen(?) Cragg, daughter-in-law, in the household, I would hazard a guess that George married Annie Lucy Cragg.

Hi, Missing LIncs,     Hmmm, I'm missing a marriage.  George Amos FRISBY of Sedgebrook parish married the lovely Annie of nearby Barrowby some time around 1890.  I'd really like to know when and where.  Of course, Annie's maiden name would be nice, too, but I'm getting greedy.     I lost track of the couple after 1898 when their daughter Lily was baptised in Spitalgate.         Lou

Excellent advice, Bob.  Of course, some of us will have to get organized and try to keep all that important information somewhere easy to access.  "In the boxspring, silly, not the mattress." Now, don't keep it all in your purse, ladies.  There's probably too much stuff in there already!  And not in your underwear drawer, either.  In my youth, as a police officer, I was told that most women keep valuables in their underwear drawer thinking that no one would go through that stuff to look for valuables.  It is, however, the first place thieves search.  In an airtight bag in your freezer is a good choice.  Or in your sewing machine stand, or the piano, or under the dog bed.  I used to have an envelope on my refrigerator with the letters ICE on it (for "In Case of Emergency") with my prescription list in it.  Do NOT put it in a piece of furniture your kids have threatened to burn, because they might burn it and say, "Look, there's an envelope in the flames..."  If you've seen the movie, "Goodbye Mr. Lenin" you know what I mean. I am an advocate of not keeping too much personal information in purses for several reasons.  Thieves are one.  And when you wake up on a gurney like I did in Austria once, you aren't thinking about "Where's my purse?"  You're too busy making sure that all your fingers and toes are still attached and working.  Then "Where are we going?" comes to mind.  In my case, I had to translate it into German first, which assured me that most of my brain was OK.  Actually, my first words were more like "#%$@, this can't be good." Your purse may be locked up in Hospital security.  I'd recommend an old ammo box, toolbox or other heavy metal box, kept on top of a large piece of tile with another one on top to provide fire protection.  Keep a photocopy of your identity card, driver's license, insurance info and  any information you think might be valuable.  We probably don't need your birth certificate or marriage license (although I did have to convince the US government once that I was a citizen), but if you want to include it that's fine.  A list of recent vaccinations is always helpful for those who are piecing you back together.     But its all the kind of thing you only have to set up once, update the paperwork only occasionally, and you can easily take the box with you when you move.  I would never put any of this stuff in a bank security box.  The people who need it can't get to it.  Save the bank box for your gems, your gold, your shares of Uranium mining stock, etc.  Never put insurance policies in a bank box.     OK, 'nuff said.  Let's look up those ancestors.  Who's got a Thomasina in their tree?         Lou ________________________________ From: rjngs <rjngs@pearson30.karoo.co.uk> To: eng-lincsgen@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 4:53 AM Subject: Re: [LIN] Wills - help the Executor The Executors of a Will will need to know a lot of personal details of the deceased such as -  National Insurance Number,  Income tax code number, Life Insurance policies, share holdings, etc. All this information can be recorded in a booklet called 'Life Book' issued by Age UK (was Age Concern).

Hi all i wounder if anyone can help? I have just recived a copy of a Adminastration for a Christopher Luddington, late of Whitton, 1597. All his goods were given to a Margaret Dinsedale alias Luddington, his natural mother. I have a line from Winteringham with a Christopher Luddington, (b 1582) son of Christopher Luddington and a Margaret Marriesstone (m 1576). Christopher the father died in 1585, I am woundering if Margaret remaried? Would anyone have access to the marriages in Whitton? And prehaps the burials, for the burial of Christopher in 1597? Thank you for your time. Paul Luddington

Spot on Victor I have seen many photos on various web sites, "me and Mum" and the like Not terribly informative are they Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Nivard Glad you mentioned putting names on photos. I just hope everyone does this and put the real names on including maiden names. I have come across numerous trees on Ancestry with photos and names such as mum dad uncle Tom etc these are only of us to the immediate family. I not only add names but also the years they lived like 1895-1950 Last year I was asked to scan 100's of photos by my old school. Not one of them had a name so in reality they were all meaningless. Fortunately the school has an old pupils forum and I posted the photos there and came back with lots of names. I then added these to the photos. When there were a large group of pupils I gave them a number extended the photo size to include a column to put the names against the number. For large family gatherings one could do the same The school is delighted to have all these names. It so happened that when I went there to download the photos from a memory stick they had a letter from an old boy who was on one of the photos so they called it up and now know what he looks like Sorry gone off a bit the school example can apply to family members Victor
