    1. Electoral Rolls on Find My Past
    2. MB
    3. FindMyPast have added current Electoral Rolls to their databases 19 July 2013 findmypast.co.uk living relatives records Lost touch with family members over the years? Finding your living relatives just got easier: now you can search UK electoral rolls 2002-2013 and UK companies house directors 2002-2013 as part of a Britain Full & World subscription, instead of needing separate PayAsYouGo credits! I started out by looking up myself and a couple of friends. They seem to have made a complete mess of Scottish entries My address in Fort William is correctly placed in Inverness-shire but the it has Region - Tayside, Central and Fife Area - Perth I thought this might be because some has done a crude conversion from postcode but only using the first two letters. A friend living near Stornoway has just the name of his house and this (no town etc) District: Isle Of Lewis Region: Grampian, Highland And Islands Area: Hebrides County: Grampian, Highland And Islands Country: Scotland The old county is Ross-shire and of course they are now Western Isles. The dropdown menu has under 'County' 'Isle of Lewis' which does not find him but it will find him with Grampian as the county. This cannot have come from Postcode because the Western Isles has its own Postcode and previously had a Paisley one. I sent a message to FindMyPast but they say that they reply that the data is from 192.com and ... 'The Electoral Registers are an exact copy of the records that have been published by the by the Electoral Commission.' Is the rest of 192.com's data so poor?

    3. That's the guy I'm researching -- my sixth-great-grandfather. His death I know about. His birth is the mystery. Lots of mis-information about him is out there, based on guesses and prior research that turned out to be wrong. Including on my own personal Web site -- I speculated about a William born in Berkshire, but more recent research has shown he stayed in England. http://dekester.home.mindspring.com/huntbill.htm The "real" William enlisted in the army, was stationed in Ireland, was sent to New York in 1700, joined a mutiny, plead guilty, was pardoned and sent to his new unit in Albany, where he deserted soon thereafter. He went to Massachusetts, married, had two children, and died in 1707. The rest, as they say, is history. I've been working for several decades trying to run down his origin. The two from Surrey I mentioned in my initial post are the most likely candidates known at this time. I can't be certain it's either of them, but trying to run them down is the next logical step.

Not sure if I'm direct, I think I came from one of his siblings, I need to check again (my family has the documentation.)

My apologies if I gave you that impression. I've been working this problem (finding William's birthplace, date and parents) for over 30 years, so I do understand things pretty well. My initial post only gave a small amount of information, in order to focus on the immediate question. There's a lot more behind the scenes. The Southeast -- Surrey, Sussex and Kent -- had a lot of Canfields over that period of time. But so did Beds and Northants, and some other counties had a few as well. Still, in England overall it's a rather uncommon name. I've mapped them to look for possible patterns and hints of movement - some interesting results have already popped out. In fact, I have two possible candidates in Beds born in the 1650s. I think they are less likely to be "my" William, but I haven't ruled them out entirely. And it would be nice to tie my William to another Camfield, who was in America in the 1600s and was a founder of Newark, New Jersey. He was from Northants. I do think all the various Camfield/Canfield/Kenfield/Kentfield families were at least distantly related, and there are hints of lineage back to the 11th/12th Centuries, but that's a much larger project for the future. So far, I'm aware of nine William Canfields born in England in the right time frame. Only three have been definitely ruled out, and two others seem highly unlikely. I'm just focusing right now on the two in Surrey, because they seem the most likely candidates of the Williams I'm aware of. I know the available records are incomplete, so there may be other possible Williams as well, but I can only work with what's available. So I take one step at a time. I'm hoping my post will lead to additional information and sources I haven't yet found. Dexter

A reminder that there are far more burial records which are NOT on the internet than are on the internet. The same applies to baptism and other records. Your ancestor's baptism may not even be online. You can only go from what you know to what you don't know. Guessing and "the name's the same" won't help you.

Guessing and "the name's the > same" won't help you. Completely understood. I've had a researcher in London working on this for some time, as well. And if you've seen my prior posts about William and his voyage to New York, on a vessel chartered by the government called the LYON or LION OF DUBLIN or similar, you'll know that I also am very familiar with a wide range of off-line resources. I've been at this for a long time. But your reminder is something to always keep in mind. I hear that more Sussex/Surrey records may become available on-line soon, although I don't have all the details. But I know there is a lot more not available there, which is exactly why posting here can lead to more info. Maybe even records or other sources I've never even heard of. The resources available through groups like this often are hard to conceive of. Tracking people forward is always extra-difficult, and even when the name is rare, like Canfield, I know that mere name matches alone don't generally suffice. I have, in fact, been able to rule out some candidates by matching up various records, and I even have a possible marriage for one of these people, but not enough to match them up. Dexter

    3. William CAMFIELD, son of William and Alice, was christened 6 Sep 1674 in Bletchingly, Surrey. His parents, Will. CAMFIELD and Alice MORIDEY, were married 7 Dec 1673 in Bletchingly. William CANFIELD, son of John and Mary, was christened 25 May 1677 in Godstone, Surrey. These families almost certainly are related. Also probably related was William CAMFIELD, son of Robert and Mary, who was christened 27 Apr 1684 in Worth, Sussex. What I would like to establish is whether these three all remained in England. Or was one of them the William Kenfield (Kentfield, Kinfield, Canfield, etc.) who joined the army, was in a regiment stationed in Ireland after the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697, and was sent to New York in 1700 to join an independent company there? This may sound familiar to those who have followed these groups for a while. I know a lot about William, and the regiments stationed in Ireland. But not his birth place, age or parentage. Was he one of these three candidates? Any thoughts, ideas, leads or information? Dexter Kenfield
