Besides the on-line facilities for research that are available and valuable it gets more fascinating when you visit the County Archives or Local History section of your library. That is where you will find the Burial Register of your parish of interest. Besides the formal names and dates there are often extra comments in the Registers,  e.g. "Baptism.  1805, Grace Jennings dau. of Catherine of B'ton, whose husband was sentenced to transportation two years ago."  [and yes he had been transported.] Bob. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-LINCSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-LINCSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
