Cathy, Not brilliant, but my search engine on the essex1841 site also includes a few marriages and odd records from parish registers, including some from Saffron Walden - http://essex1841.com/search.shtml ; it is a simple search engine, and I have not updated the site for years, but you may find it helpful. There are certainly plenty of Cornell showing up around Essex. As regards baptisms, sometime you get a job lot of a family a few years late, these are always worth searching for - especially when ag labs moved about, then there will usually be a rough record of each childs' age. Plus an 1861 engine which is not well advertised or linked to - http://essex1841.com/history/all1861 Best Kevan -----Original Message----- From: essex-uk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:essex-uk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of cathy carley Sent: 30 July 2008 23:41 To: ESSEX-UK-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Ess] Re ESSEX Registration Districts GDAY Shirley:) Thanks for that info, Much appreciated Im researching PHILPOTT/CORNELL/HAWKES..My direct Lines thru essex Im looking at Sampford Parish registers at the moment, Lil and great sampford for my lot Some i cant find there, Butt Thinking maybe they Baptised in a nearby Parish, or even werent baptised I did find tho in freebmd, often the District where their Births, Marriages , Deaths etc recorded were Saffron Walden/chelmsford, so ordered in those Registers Didnt think about checking what Parishes were in those districts, so ty for that valuable Piece of Info Looking also for any PHILPOTT/CORNELL/HAWKES researchers out there with ancestors from Sampford and Bardfield, also FRENCH surname my Direct lines Thanks Regards Cathy:) Find a better answer, faster with the new Yahoo!7 Search. www.yahoo7.com.au/search ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any problems, please contact the List Admin: Essex-UK-admin@rootsweb.com ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ESSEX-UK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
