I am attempting to search on-line for Wills for the Surrey area (I live in the U.S.).  I know how to search for Prerogative of Canterbury Wills on National Archives Documents Online.  Is is possible to search on-line for Wills that were probated in Surrey?Thanks so much!

Mary definitely hadn't remarried by 1851 by which time her son was in London and later Essex, where he stayed the rest of his life. The husband Charles died in Farnham where he is buried in the churchyard. Hammersmith is not really so far straight up the road from Farnham. Having lived near Farnham myself, as a teenager I used to go up to Hammersmith Palais just for a Saturday night out. I've found quite a few Farnham folk up in that neck of the woods in early to mid 1800s and one of mine from Godalming has been found up in Islington in the mid 1700s. People seem to have travelled quite extensively despite the very different transport (or lack of). I think this is very often the reason that lines of research come to an abrupt halt in small villages and towns - sometimes the wanderer comes back again later, and sometimes not. Ann

The pressing time to remarry was when her son Thomas was small. There are options but not in Farnham. Strange she married in Hammersmith. Thomas had left home before the next census.

Ian - thank you so much for your kind offer. I wonder whether you may have any burial information on: Joseph Bowen PROSSER, who died in Pimlico, on 22nd October 1862 aged 45. Joseph had moved to London from Herefordshire to work as a missionary for the London City Mission. Also I would be delighted to know if you have burial information for Thomas [Frank] HEAPHY (watercolour artist) and his wife Eliza HEAPHY (b. BRADSTREET). Thomas died on 7th August 1873 aged 60, at 46 Sussex Street, Pimlico and Eliza died at 47 Crookham Road, Fulham, on 25th February 1895 aged 76. I know that a lot of burials took place at Brookwood at that time. Eliza was sister to my g.g.grandmother, Emma BRADSTREET, of Charsfield, Suffolk. Thank you again Diane J.

Hello, Would you please be so kind as to check on the burial of Thomas Richard Manwaring, died Farnham 11 March 1946. Many Thanks, Alan.

Hello Philp Thank you for reply. Yes, with hindsight I realise I should have added a little bit more info but I tried to keep it as brief and straightforward as possible. Yes, I know all about her baptism (surname Batchelour), and have researched her ancestry back to the year dot - well almost!! She married in the 1830s to Charles Champion and I have a copy of the marriage entry from the parish register in Hammersmith. Mary Anne had only one child who reached adulthood, and I have his marriage, death, and his only daughter, right up to 1900s. It is just Mary Ann herself that I haven't been able to "kill off". She could have remarried, or she could have died still with surname Champion. There is one hopeful death registration in the Farnham RD as follows: Deaths Mar 1892 Champion Mary 77 Farnham 2a 103 so I will now be following that one up as it's a near match. I just wondered if anyone here might by chance spot something I've missed in censuses, or even maybe know more of the Champions of Farnham and the nearby Hampshire parishes.

With the start of a new year I have decided it's high time to try to tidy up some of my loose ends that have been sitting unattended for far too long. One of my 'loose ends' is a Mary Ann born Farnham in 1814/15. The last conclusive sighting of her is in 1851 still in Farnham, married name Mary A CHAMPION (widow). 1861 - not found (but quite a lot of Farnham is known to be missing). 1871 - There's a tempting entry Mary A Champion that just might be her in the WATERER household at Bagshot (Waterers being the plant nurserymen). 1881 and thereafter - nothing positive I've been right through the Probate Calendars and haven't found any likely entry, which would have been ideal as it could have identified a place of death or executor. I can't buy every marriage and death certificate for a Mary or Mary Ann(e) Champion so will be grateful for anything that links with this GGG Aunt. This is a real long shot - with no real expectation of any luck!! But if anyone should spot her - or have connections to her via the Champion family in and around Farnham - it would make my day/month/year. Ann

Hi Ian Would you please look up the burial of Joseph Smetzer Joseph Smetzer, of 85 Mortimer Street, Cavendish Square, W. in his 63rd year of life. Birth - 2nd November 1825, Darryl Simpson

I lived in Riggindale Rd Streatham 1948-51and as a child used to walk and wander everywhere looking at places and things, used to go the the Lido pool .... now here is the question, on the other side of the road just before going over the rail bridge there was an estate that had been bombed which had big iron gates at the entrance, spent a lot of time going through those houses which were all vacant can anyone tell me about this place and what happened to that area on being rebuilt ????? Regards Toni

I have the Carter family living 50 Kettering Streeat Streatham in 1918. Family Father Thomas Thaddeus Carter Br 1858 Horsham, daughter Olive brn 1895 Surrey and Alfred H Carter born 1886 Worth. Looking for any info on Alfred after 1918, He married someone. In 1919 father Thomas and Olive immigrated to Canada to join Alfred's brother and family William. Alfred's other sister Ethel lived in Mitchum with her husband Ambrose Davenport. She died Mitchum 1947. The family lost touch with Alfred and I have been trying to find a connection to him for years. Any info would be appreciated. Heather

Hi Ann, no luck I'm afraid but your best bet is Bletchingley Cemetery run by the local parish council. If you have not done so already I suggest you contact them. It is a very lush cemetery by the side of the road and has a lot of Godstone burials. regards IAN > Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 10:31:23 +0000 > From: p1p@churston.plus.com > To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [SRY] Surrey Burials - Lookups > > Please could you check for William Smith d. 21 Feb 1915 aged 72yrs at > Moor House Farm, Limpsfield [Godstone RD].
