Hi >From various certificates I have discovered that my Granddad was a Sapper in the Royal Engineers and he was an electrical engineer as was his father. My Granddads name was John Joseph Murphy and I suspect that he had been wounded during the First World War as his address was given as the Military Hospital Colchester. My Nan a Nurse must have fallen in love for they married in June 1916. His Dad Francis Murphy attended the wedding and he was recorded as an electrician. In April 1917 at the birth of my Uncle Francis Joseph Murphy, my Granddad is recorded as a Private in the Royal Auxiliary Medical Corp. This far and now it's my wall, as there is no army number to relate too I am at a loss on what or where to look now. If any kind person could advise me I would be very grateful. Stuart

Jenny, Just looked at SEAX and there are 13 churches linked to the parishes of Romford. Not sure which are listed ie scans available over the internet. Hope this helps. Ingrid.

Jenny, this won't help you a great deal, but according to FreeBMD, the marriage took place in July-September quarter 1896, not December. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Jenny" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2011 1:46 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [Ess] What church in Romford > Hello Fellow Listers > > I have been given the following information, unsourced:- > > "Harry William LINCOLN (1868-1950) married Kate Maude KNAPP (1874-1957) in > Dec 1896, Romford, Essex, England".

Hello Fellow Listers I have been given the following information, unsourced:- "Harry William LINCOLN (1868-1950) married Kate Maude KNAPP (1874-1957) in Dec 1896, Romford, Essex, England". I have googled and the top three links all refer to Romford Baptist Church. Other than buying a certificate how can I find out what church they married in? Yours in hope Jenny in Australia

I looked at the marriage and it shows from free BMD Harry William Lincoln m Kate Maud(e) Knapp Sept Q 1896 registration district Romford, Essex.  Are you aware that Romford is a  registration district  and not the place they were married?  If you go to free bmd and click on Romford (the district) it will show you all the parishes where they could have married. Harry William Lincoln b. 1868 Kensington, Loncon . Kate Maude Knapp b. 1874 r. Kensington, London. I looked at several census and they seem to like different places to have been born in ;-)! 1901 Census - 220 Spring Road, Ipswich, Suffolk: Harry (says b Halstead, Essex) Kate (says b. Dalston, London) Doris b. Ipswich, Suffolk. However a clue maybe  in the 1911 census (Kate says she is born in Ilford, Essex): 1911 census - 115 Henslow Road, Ipswich Suffolk Harry W Lincoln age 40 b. Rochdale Lancashire. Kate Maud age 37 b. Ilford, Essex.  Doris Maud 11, Kate Dorothy 8, Leslie Harry  all born Ipswich. Kate may have been working (or living) in Ilford, Essex when she met Harry hence they may have married there.  One of the parishes for this general area is St Margaret's Barking Essex (which I am the On line Parish Clerk) but looking at the registers they did not marry there. The other choice might be St Mary's Great Ilford, Essex, but maybe a shot in the dark. St Mary's records are not available on Essex Record Office's SEAX site.  Unless another lister comes up with better options you might end up having to purchase the marriage certificate if your need is great.

Hi Rob, William GEPP isn't actually one of my family, but there is a blacksmith of the right sort of era living in Maldon, who was involved in some business dealings with a relation of mine. Might be worth a look! Alan Hello, Is anyone else researching a William GEPP (could be spelt GEPPS/GIP/GIPP/GIPPS/JEPP/JEPPS/JIP/JIPP/GIPPS) who was born in about 1815? Mine (actually, my aunt's great-great-grandfather) was, according to censuses, born in about 1814 in Wethersfield. However, there is no GEPP baptised there within 20 years either side of that date. Having looked some of the neighbouring parishes I have found a William GEPP baptised in Braintree on 4th Jan 1815 to William and Sarah, and I this may be him. Again, frustratingly, there are no other GEPP baptisms there between 1808 and 1821. I have also looked in various parishes (though not yet all in the area) for the marriage of William senior to Sarah with no success. This is not quite a brick wall as I haven't exhausted the parishes around either Wethersfield or Braintree. But, as I am not local to the record office in Chelmsford I just wondered if anyone else has (or is seeking) this William GEPP. Thanks.

You can also use the LDS mapping site 'English Jurisdictions 1851'. http://maps.familysearch.org/ Enter the search term Clavering. Under the heading Parish, select Clavering Essex. Wait for the map to load (slow!), and click the Options tab Then click List Contiguous Parishes. There are lots of other mapping gadgets there as well.

In answer to the Clavering query, the village most connected to Clavering is Langley historically, but today it shares a new vicar with Arkesden and Wicken Bonhunt. It is also near to Farnham, Berden, Manuden, Rickling, Newport. As it is the last village on the border into Hertfordshire, the next villages that way would be Brent Pelham, Meesden, Anstey in Herts.

Hi Listers, My father was a maltster at the above for over 20 years. I am trying to find out more about the building and related things. The road that led to the maltings was called Maltings Road, but as it burned down in the 1960s there is no longer any mention of it. We know that barley arrived by barge and was soaked and germinated. It ended up being dried in the kiln and sent to London ( Watneys at Mortlake?) for use in making beer. as a child it was my play area in school holidays. My memory tells me that only 3 people worked there, but we do not know who actually ran things. Can anyone help with more info? Kelvin Binding
