"Geoff" wrote in message news:[email protected] Hi I wondered if anyone has access to the marriage records of Nutfield in Sussex for 1809? I am referring to a marriage between Francis Stray & Ann Wells which took place on 15th August 1809. I have found the marriage in Ancestry amongst "Selected marriage records but this doesn't give me enough information. Likewise with IGI (Family search) Anne was born in 1785. I particularly need to know who Ann's parents were or at least her father. There were several Ann Wells born in and around that time & place and I can't prove which one she is. Records for Nuthurst seem rather rare unfortunately Any help would be much appreciated. <<<<<<< Geoff Thanks for the replies. I had forgotten about the lack of entry details. It was a typo, I meant Nuthurst. I'll try some other means. Thanks again, Geoff.

I will go with Ghent. I was actually reading the published transcript in Catholic Record Society vol 23, where there's definitely an R, but perhaps the 1922 transcriber mis-read a V. Easy to do.

"Nata" is "born at" and I assume > "Flandria" is Flanders. Any guesses at where "Gandari" might be? Ghent? The Wikipedia article doesn't mention Gandari, but it does say "Most historians believe that the older name for Ghent, 'Ganda', is derived from the Celtic word ganda which means confluence." The modern name in French is Gand, and in Flemish it is Gent. -- athel
The burial register of Brindle St Joseph RC, Lancashire, has this "priest's Latin" entry. 1750 Aug 9 Joanna Ashton vidua Longaeva nata Gandari in Flandria I think "vidua" is widow, and "Longaeva" might be "very old" (or very tall, but old is more likely). "Nata" is "born at" and I assume "Flandria" is Flanders. Any guesses at where "Gandari" might be? Barbara

MAKING ENDS MEET Too much week at the end of your money is nothing new. Shortage of ready cash could affect people on any level and the solyution could be selling the family silver, mortgaging, gnawing it out, migrating, going on the parish, poaching, pawning the old man's suit, moonlight flitting, going on the game, nicking off stalls, or, in extremis, turning to the Charity Organisation Society (aka Crawl or Starve). Eve McLaughlin tells the Bucks Genealogical Society all about it on Sat January 10 at 2.30 (doors 2pm) at the Southcourt Community Centre, Prebendal Ave, Aylesbury HP21 8LF If you live within reach, come and learn survival skills .All welcome -details [email protected] or 01844 291631
Hi, I just wanted to mention that the Guild of One Name Studies are holding our first quarterly seminar for the year in London at the Wellcome Library, to explore Medical & Healthcare Records. We have two talks by Christopher Hilton, the Chief Archivist of the Wellcome Library who hold one of the world's (not just the UK's) most important collections. The Chief Archivist has been with the Wellcome Library for (I believe) 20+ years and is very aware of records which could be of interest to us. Over our two morning sessions he intends to cover "- An Overview of the Wellcome Library: origins, types of records found here, facilities offered, etc. - Development of profession and the records you can find from various eras – doctors - Development of profession and the records you can find from various eras – nurses - a little bit on patient records - miscellaneous other records that you can find at the Wellcome Library – Quakers, etc. - our digitisation activities, which will touch both on records I’ve already mentioned, and also on some formats to be discussed later (e.g. asylum records)" It is a huge collection and I hope the talk will also include - surgeons records, army records (some of which are deposited at the Wellcome), and Apothecaries records (It would be great if Christopher also covered the Trade Card and Ephemera collections at the Wellcome ... trailed in a previous seminar) Our afternoon session will provide us three further talks : Asylum Records by Elizabeth Finn (Collections Development Officer, Kent County Council); Catholic Medical Care Records by Carmen M Mangion PhD; and last but far from least (I have seen the PowerPoint slides) “Find the Midwife – Midwives Records” by Penny Hutchins (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Archivist and Organisation Records Manager). It should be a really interesting day even if you don't believe you have any Medical connections in your family tree. And as with the seminar we held at the Modern Records Centre in Warwick University (where we covered Trade Union, Masonic, and Friendly Society Records) - this is a one off opportunity. So I do hope if you are in or near London and might be interested that you will consider booking. http://one-name.org/seminar_2015feb_medhealth.html Our official booking closing date is Sunday January 25th 2015 Very Best Regards Richard Heaton

Some Scottish libraries have access to the Scotsman online archive but it only goes up to around 1950. I think the Glasgow Herald also has an online archive.

The birth date is wrong but it does hint at marital machinations - I am not sure what relationships were like. It may be quite interesting.
