Hi Helen I have a Ben born 1856 Hempstead (too late) and another born 1830 Hempstead to Philip and Maria.Do you have the Fathers of this William married in 1842? then I could probably answer your question. The Ben born 1830 does have a sister Elizabeth (born 1823) but who doesn't LOL I have one!!!

Thank you to all who responded to my request for information of this air raid. David

The will can be obtained by post for 6GBP using the form at http://hmctscourtfinder.justice.gov.uk/courtfinder/forms/pa1s-eng.pdf. An obituary (in the sense of a narrative piece detailing someone's life story) is highly unlikely for a man at that time, unless he was someone of considerable note. For a woman, even more so. The fact of her death might have been reported if she or it was considered newsworthy.

Thank you. she was a middle-class Quaker, but whether that would be of note or not, I don't know. the link is unco-operative, stuck in some manner. I believe I've tried to access it (or another section of the same site) in the past with the same results. the icon just spins and all I get is a gray screen with a "loading" icon at the bottom, but that icon doesn't move. so I backed it up to the basic url and got to a place that I could input Ipswich, which gave me three courts, and I am emailing the specific one for Ipswich. hopefully that will get me the information I need.

the earliest parish book is now available at SEAX, and to save your sanity, I give you the secrets of this book. one half is written front to back, and you will never find the middle-to-late (1700's) christenings in that half. the other half of the book is written back to front, with the earliest dates at the last page and the more recent dates in the middle. I'm about ready for a good shot of whiskey after trying to figure this book out, and I can't stand hard liquor. it's mind bending, but only if you go in without warning. consider the possibility that other parish books may be recorded in like strange manner. Cornelia

Hello, Can anyone tell me if a family history on the Jiggins family in Essex has been written and is it available for purchase please? Regards Helen

Hi Donna I found that website most interesting. Here in Australia we were far away from such damage as London, Essex and other counties experienced. We can only imagine what it was like. Darwin was bombed with some loss of life and Catalina flying boats in Broome harbour, Western Australia, were bombed by the Japanese, also with loss of life. The hospital ship Centaur was hit by a Japanese submarine off the coast of southern Queensland where many people lost their lives. This ship was clearly marked with a red cross which identified it as a hospital ship. The wreckage was found not long ago and there is a memorial at Tweed Heads on the border of Queensland and New South Wales. There were some mini-submarines found in Sydney Harbour. There are many battlements on the northern Australian coastline and coast watchers waited to report sightings of invading planes or ships. The Battle of the Coral Sea is well known in Australian WW2 history. I was but a small child at the time of WW2, but have travelled extensively within Australia, particularly to the Top End.

I looked up a couple of books for some information as I had not seen a reply to this In 'The Blitz - Then and Now' Vol 2 describes a major attack on London on March 15th by 93 bombers. It also says bombs also fell on a number of places in the South East on of which was Southend. Bombers targeting London often dropped bombs wherever rather than return loaded and though Southend was rarely the target of a raid even though it had a military significance due to its location at the mouth of the Thames made it handily placed en route to and from London. In 'We Died For You' Ellen Deal is listed as being injured at 31 New Road Leigh on the 15th and died in Southend Hospital on the 17th aged 74 (if I have interpreted the listing correctly). I also noted that next door at No 30 (New Road is opposite the railway line and had/has houses on one side only) Bertha Lilian Deal aged 10 was killed as was one Harry Threshold - although he lived elsewhere in Leigh. There was one other casualty listed in Southend that night so it was not comparable to the raids on London.

While I stand to be corrected, I think that there are only limited years for registers and limited references for wills on Seax at this time, the paid for service supplying much more. I was at Essex Record Office yesterday and, while the 17th October looks promising for the full service to start, the staff behind the counter were unable to confirm what would happen to that which is already available free online. Suppose we'll find out this time next week.

It might be worth a look on the 1841 census as well, being born in 1827 she would have been around 14 years old and quite possibly still living at home with her parents.

I have been in contact with a "possible" family member. He has Emily Taylor born 1827 Fingringhoe as an ancestor. My TAYLOR family came from the small village of Fingringhoe and I have many Taylor names from this village but neither he nor I have any parents for Emily. Has anyone any suggestions? Many thanks Graham Taylor
