Hello, I have, with a lot of outside help, been able to trace an ancestor, who at the time of her marriage in 1812 as a minor was the ward of her older half brother. Can anyone direct me to the laws of guardianship in force two hundred years ago. Was the Government involved, or could everything be done in a lawyer office? Was the cerificate of guardianship then registered and if so where? Thanks, nick

Dear Listserve, Are there any sites dealing with alumni or students who attended Kings College Canterbury around 1915 to 1920? Any advice how I could research this information? I would appreciate any leads you may have. Robyn

Try uninstalling, then shutting down your computer, have a cup of tea and read of your favourite magazine (or leave your PC shut down overnight), then reboot and reinstall. I've found that will quite often clear the hiccup. I don't use Paint Shop Pro so I can't offer you any specific solutions, I'm afraid. If you're still having problems, try using Irfanview which is a free program. It's the one I use and find to be very good. Google will find it but make sure you go to the official site. You'll need the plug ins as well so it'll handle anything. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

You buy certificates from Ancestry via their shop *but*, you'll be paying considerably more than you would if you bought them direct from the GRO. Ancestry are currently charging *from* 22.99GBP for one certificate. The GRO's current price is 9.25GBP, postage paid anywhere in the world. Ancestry have to order them from the GRO themselves so you'd be losing out not only financially but time wise as well because it takes 10-14 days from the GRO and up to 21 days from Ancestry. Ancestry offer a service of 6 working days but that will cost you even more. The GRO's online certificate ordering site is at: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk

Hi Can anyone identify a location for this postcard of a Wesleyan Chapel (built 1840) ? It is addressed to someone in Best Lane Canterbuy and postmarked Dover on 13th November 1907, so I assume it is somewhere in Kent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/doverpast/4514779539/ Thanks Paul

I am trying to upload a number of cemetery marker images taken in Parish churchyards in  Kent.  Suddenly my Paint Shop Pro isn't allowing me to "crop"....my computer freezes up when I try to do that.  Is anyone using that particular software?...and if so, do you have any ideas for me?  I've reinstalled several times and it still does this.  I gotten on the PPPro mailing list and haven't received any suggestion, other than reinstalling.

I have a full subscription to Ancestry.  Where is it that people are getting  BMD certificates right there on the sight?  I know it's a pay thing, but I'd just like to know where to access that. Barbara L.

Pam Please post what you find out about the cemetery records on the list. I am sure I must have a number of James and Knott relatives buried there.

Thanks Sylvia, think I am going to have to try a few emails to cemeteries. Now I have some ideas. Hither Green seems to be the consensus. Cheers Pam Hi Pam, I have decendants, Keefe Joseph died Lewisham 1931 and is buried in Hither Green Cemetery. His wife Magdalena died 1945 at Wallington, she is also buried there. Not sure if burials were still taking place there 1951. But worth a try.

Dear Listmembers I have posted so many messages, that it is easier just to copy a message Sue Mackay posted for me on a forum.  To be honest, I really battle to navigate my way through the British and East India Company records.  Can anyone please advise me where to look for the information?  And is there anyone else who is researching any part of this family? "To add some extra info, I have been helping Sunelia transcribe the will of Henry HEATH, who worked for the East India Company. His (seemingly) only son John Henry HEATH, who later became one of the 1820 settlers to the Cape, was born in Bencoolen, Sumatra in 1792, and was baptised in St.Mary Magdalene, Bermondsey, London on 11 August 1799. His date of birth was given as 30 September 1792, son of Henry HEATH of Bencoolen, Sumatra. Mother Dead. So Henry HEATH's wife must have died between 30 September 1792 and 11 August 1799. The will lists the siblings and half siblings of Henry HEATH as listed above. It states that his brother Benjamin was living in Barnstaple, and on the 1851 I found a Benjamin who was an annuitant of about the right age to be a younger brother of Henry. The census said he was born in St.Dunstans, London, and I found a baptism from St.Dunstan's in the East for Benjamin, son of Henry and Elizabeth HEATH (Henry described as a cooper of St.Dunstan's Hill) born 2 March baptised 2 April 1782. I found a reference to his brother Matthew HEATH, who was an executor of the will, in Pigot's 1839 Directory as a solicitor of 12 Furnival's Inn (the address given for him in the will). As yet I have found no baptism for Matthew. The sister Mary Elizabeth HEATH was with Henry on the 1841 census in Northfleet, aged 50. Like Henry she is buried in St.Botolph's Church, Northfleet, and an online MI says that she died on 1 May 1872 aged 82, so we know she was born ca 1790 and was probably his youngest full sibling. The two half brothers mentioned in the will were Francis and William. I have now found a baptism in St.Giles Camberwell on 18th December 1812 for a Francis HEATH, son of Henry and Hannah HEATH, born 16th November. Now it was very inconsiderate to baptise Francis one month before January 1813, when printed baptism forms were introduced that had spaces for the father's address and occupation. However, Francis makes amends by getting married just after the start of civil registration. He married Mary Ann CAPON on 20 November 1837, aged 25 (he was a coach painter) and his father is listed as Henry Heath, wine cooper. This would seem to fit in nicely with Benjamin's father being Henry HEATH, cooper. It therefore seems that Henry HEATH Senior was a cooper, whose first wife was Elizabeth. Henry and Elizabeth had Henry, Matthew, Benjamin and Mary Elizabeth that we know of. Elizabeth the first wife died, and Henry re-married someone called Hannah, by whom he had two sons, Francis and William - hence they were half brothers to the Henry who wrote the will. I looked at the London marriage registers and there were two marriages between a Henry HEATH and a Hannah in the right time frame, but only one where Henry HEATH was described as a widower. The likely marriage would therefore seem to be Henry HEATH widower to Hannah DANCE on 18 March 1811 in St.Leonard's, Shoreditch, London This would fit in with Francis's birth in 1812. There is a baptism at St.Mary's Lambeth on 4 January 1815 which MAY be William. The parents are given as Henry and Hannah HEATH with Henry described as a flour factor. I suppose flour could come in barrels too! The address was Belmont Place. This was about as far as I could get Sunelia, so I suggested she let the B-G sleuths take over. Don't let me down now What she chiefly needs to know is who Elizabeth was who married Henry HEATH Senior and the date and place of birth/baptism of Henry HEATH Junior, who died 28 August 1843 aged 73 (MI from St.Botolph's Northfleet). She would also like to know the name of Henry Junior's wife, who was dead by the time their son John Henry was baptised. She may well have died in Sumatra."

Thanks Eveline, Had not even given Lee a thought. An inlaw marrying into one of my numerous families in the area was born in Lee, should have thought of that myself. Cheers Pam If it helps, my Gowars who lived in Lewisham and Greenwich seemed to be buried at Lee.

Thanks to Robin, Berry and Bev for the prompt replies. I tried Brockley/Ladywell years ago, but had another look today (just in case) and got the Pr's out for Hither Green (for other folk) but they are not filmed for 1952, so no joy there. I have been looking for him for years. I might have to email a few cemeteries locally and see what comes up. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Pam, I have decendants,  Keefe Joseph died Lewisham 1931 and is buried in Hither Green Cemetery. His wife Magdalena died 1945 at Wallington, she is also buried there. Not sure if burials were still taking place there 1951. But worth a try. Best wishes,  Sylvia.

Hi Pam Just a thought or two. If they died in Lewisham but lived in Norwood, might have been buried in Norwood too. Found this site which might be worth a look. http://www.londonnecropolis.com/listlondoncemeteries.htm It is certainly not complete as in addition to the Brockley/Ladywell cemetery and Grove Park Cemetery, there is the Hither Green Cemetery [in Verdant Lane SE6 if you wish to look on Google maps] which I could not see listed there. On Google maps you can in fact see all three on screen at the same time.

Hi All, I am seriously frustrated with my Grandfathers, brothers brood. George HELYER (various spellings of course) HILLIER, Hellier etc married Mary Ann MORLEY 1863 St Pauls Deptford They had four children that I have found. 1. George William baptised 1865 2. Emily Sarah born circa 1866 Greenwich & married Robert Samuel HOGG in 1889 Deptford St Nicholas 3. Harry (probably Henry) circa 1869 married Susannah EDMEADES 1893 Plumstead Susannah died 1902 then married Emma NASH 1903 Essex Reg District 4. Thomas circa 1872 Greenwich RD married Emma Eliza WHITE Thomas and Harry were both Hairdressers. 1911 finds Thomas in Plumstead 1911 finds Harry in Northfleet 1891 finds Emily in Plumstead George William remains elusive. Any takers PLEASE Cheers Pam from Adelaide Australia Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. Winston Churchill

Hi Sunelia I suggest your very first port of call has to be the Cityark website. Addy below. The archives has the St botolphs Parish records. The website is a little difficult to navigate, but go to this page below and click on Parish registers online select the Church and the time frame (down the bottom), ......a list of images comes up.....you then have to find the time frame you require and wade through the Parish Registers. Time consuming, but worthwhile. A great resource for the area. Happy hunting Pam from Adelaide Australia http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/about/medway_archives/ Dear Listmembers I'm so excited to have found this list! I stay in Queenstown, South Africa and really battle to find information about our ancestors in England. I have a Henry Heath, Esq. of Orme House, Northfleet born about 1769, England and died 28 Aug 1843, Northfleet Kent. He was buried at St Botolph's Church, Northfleet. I found an inscription for my Henry on the church's website. I wrote to the email adress on the website several times regarding the possibilty of a photo of this inscription and/or grave. Sadly no reply yet. I was hoping that there might be someone on this list who would be able to get hold of such a photo. I could only find one child for Henry x Unknown, John Henry Heath. John Henry was born in 1792 and baptised in 1799. On his baptism inscription it only shows his mother as deceased, no name. I could find no other wife or child for Henry either. Is there anyone on this list that have any other information about Henry Heath x NN please. Obviously we are decendants of John Henry Heath, so far the only son of Henry Heath.
