Hi, I wonder if there is anyone with access to the baptism records held at the Essex Records Office. I am interested in the baptism of Samuel Bradbrook at West Bergholdt on 27 June 1841. I know from looking at church films in the past that sometimes if we are lucky there will be a birth date listed in the church register. This is the information I am seeking and would greatly appreciate any help given. Thanking you. Daphne

Daphne Saw your note on Ess Lost. Are you researching your Gardiner line ( G). I have links to at least 2 Gs from early 16thC from Hadleigh Sfk general area. 1) Will of William Gardiner, Cloth Maker of Saint Mary at the Elms Ipswich, Suffolk Date 06 June 1527 Married around 1506 , perhaps in Hadleigh area but might well have been in Dedham Ess, widow Rose Vesey. 2) Elizabeth Gardiner ( estimate B. abt 1503) of Aldham d/o Henry Gardiner married Thomas Vesey/Veysy/Vesye originally of Dedham or Ardleigh Essex and later (16thC) Hadleigh-Hintlesham Sfk.

Rob Dickinson posted a Gaol Delivery message a couple of weeks back. “The Chelmsford Chronicle” for 15th March 1797 reported; At our assizes Wm Presnell and Simon Moulds for stealing a cow calf from Eliz, Hicks received sentence of death but was reprieved before Baron Hotham left the town. Supposed Life or 15 year transportation (not said) The Chelmsford Chronicle for March 16th 1798 reports; “at our Assizes, which ended on Friday last (9th) …………………Sam.James the Younger , for stealing a £10 bank note and six shillings out of a bureau………. Death recorded.” He was not left for execution by the Judge (Baron Hotham?)” So the likelihood was that they were transported, either to Van Diemens Land, to other parts of Australia, or to Bermuda Fred Feather, Editor of the Essex Family Historian

I am not sure whether this is going to be helpful, or if it is too late for you. I was brought up in Hockley, went to primary school in Hawkwell and would have gone on to Southend High School, if the 1939 war hadn't broken out, and we moved away. Simple train journey from Hockley to Southend, and, if I remember correctly, (it was 70 years ago !), the High School was just by Southend station.

Hi List, Can anybody help me with the secondary schools in the Hockley – Prittlewell area in the 1896 – 1910 time frame please. I am trying to find where my mother and her brothers were educated, they were living in Hockley and I have an idea that they went by train to school. Very many thanks for any help Daphne.

Hello Heather: Thank you for your kind offer to take a photo of headstones in the Felsted Church yard . My Valentine Prentice (or Prentis) was born and/or baptized in Felsted in the latter part of the 1500s. He also had a number of brothers and sisters born and/or baptized in Felsted. Valentine and his siblings are as follows: - John Prentice, bap. 22 Oct 1587. - Elizabeth Prentice, bap. 15 Feb 1588/9. - Daniell Prentis, bap. 16 Dec 1593. - Susan Prentice, bap. 24 Apr 1597. - Valentine Prentice, bap. 25 Feb 1598/9. - Francis Prentice, bap. 20 May 1605. Valentine Prentice married Alice Bredda in Chelmsford in 1626 and emigrated to America in 1631. I have been trying, without success, to locate information about the marriages and descendants of his brothers and sisters. I would surely appreciate any photos or headstone information you happen to find for anyone named Prentice or Prentis.

Hi Listers Recently searching through an on-line digitised Parish Register of Essex baptisms, marriages and burials circa 1750, I saw that the opening page had been used by the Parish Priest to 'work in' his quill pen before he began writing up entries. (The steel pen nib was evidently not patented until 1810, and so all these early registers would have been written using a quill - cut with a shaped quill knife and not with the sort of pen knife that we are familiar with). Various letters and numbers had been repeatedly written at random across the page (including little subtraction sums taking one date from another, obviously in order to calculate the age of the deceased), but amidst all the doodlings appeared the following sentence:- Thomas Bunting in the West of England you may observe in many places. It seems that this may have been a practise phrase to incorporate most (but not all) the letters of the alphabet. I well remember being required to type over and over The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog when learning how to touch-type. Has anyone else come across this sort of note in PRs? John

There is a rootsweb list especially for discussing how to store records in various formats. http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Genealogical_Computing/RECORD-KEEPING-METHODOLOGY.html "A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the storing, filing, archiving and recording of genealogical data collected by both physical and electronic means."

Hi Andy, I put all my tree on Family Tree Maker that's no problem, but a keep a paper file that's the problem.

David Don't know whether you use any family tree software, but if you do have a look here http://www.fileyourpapers.com/index.html Andy Claxton -----Original Message----- From: David Chambers [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 08 August 2011 06:41 To: [email protected] Subject: [Ess] file Families How do other members file there families? I'm adding the children to their parents, but what do you do with the children of their children? I seem to be getting in a muddle,

Nightmare time. Start as you mean to go on. I have at this @20 years, and prior to this other family members had the bug, so I have a lot of data/names. I use legacy and keep as much as possible on the computer (essential to keep back ups, not on the same computer). If I have 'gained' a relevant piece of paper then I reference this as a source in the software, it then is filed in one of my many lever arch files, by name and date in a plastic wallet, writing the name and date on the edge of the wallet so it can be easily found. I always file information on a woman by her maiden name. I use a similar system on the computer for all the images I have accumulated, except the censuses which I reference by their own unique ref, otherwise I could have the same image saved up to 20 times. The essential element is to be able to reference/source where all the information has come from, also where I have looked and not found anything and where I haven't looked but it might be worth doing so. Like a lot of newbies I made the mistake of not doing this when I started and then found myself unnecessarily going over the same ground. My worst nightmare was when I upgraded from a very old family tree program to the one I have now. The old software did not have all the fields that are now available, so I had to go through and manually transfer data from my notes section into the source fields for @5000 people.

Are we talking here about hard copy filing of certificates, print-outs of census pages and photocopies from microfilm etc? If so, it is a very good question, because over the years (or decades in my case) one does tend to accumulate a mountain of paper. I have a strong cardboard pocket wallet folder for each direct ancestor (i.e. someone with the word "parent" in their relationship name). The subordinate families have plastic folders stored within these. To offer a concrete example, I have a folder for my 3x great grandfather named "George HOWARD/Elizabeth TANNER". This contains information related to George and Elizabeth, as well as 6 plastic folders - one for each of 6 of their 7 children. These plastic folders store material going on down through the generations. The seventh child, Emma HOWARD, is my 2x great grandmother and therefore gets her own cardboard wallet named "William BRADFORD/Emma HOWARD". This system works well enough for me, as a way of storing hard copy, but it is, of course, only an adjunct to my FH software (I use Roots Magic).

How do other members file there families? I'm adding the children to their parents, but what do you do with the children of their children? I seem to be getting in a muddle,

Thanks to all the very nice people on the List who have written to help with this search. David
