Hello Folks Many thanks to Ted for his very generous offer of look ups from the book A History of the Parish of Gedling, Notts 1908. As I have many ancestors from that parish I had wondered if the book was still available to buy. There was one site which offered it but it was very expensive. Searching around I found this link to a site that has digitalised the book on to a c.d. so have just ordered it at £17.75 http://www.parishchest.com/index.php My name interests in Gedling are, amongst many others Shelton Swinsco Flinders (from Hoveringham) = Shelton Bird Newham Foster Stones Waite Scothern Whitt Allcock Marriot(t) ................ June in Edinburgh

Hi June, Thanks for the link - may well go there myself! As you know my interests overlap a fair bit with yours here!

If the 50th was in India after 1841 and before Samuel's birth in 1847, maybe they married in India or at one of the ports on the return journey?

Hi Di, These links are to Barrie Chapman's website "Australian Redcoat", which give a bit of background to the 50th West Kent Queen's Own (in Australia 1834-1841 and 1866-1869). I couldn't find mention of William McKENZIE anywhere on the site though (although Barrie usually names only those who settled in Australia and not those who moved on). They served in Sydney, and on Norfolk Island, as well as Tasmania (arrived 1834, departed 1841) and later in Adelaide. They left Australia in January 1841 for India - http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~garter1/50thfoot.htm http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~garter1/surnames50th.htm http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-conflicts-periods/other/british_army-in-aust.htm History of the 50th Regiment - http://www.archive.org/stream/historythorquee00fylegoog/historythorquee00fylegoog_djvu.txt There were no marriages in NSW or Tasmania during their time here for this couple as far as I could see.

The book Ted has been referring to is "A History Of the Parish Of Gedling In The County Of Nottingham" by Charles Gerring. It's a quite fascinating book, originally published in 1908. The Notts County Council Community Services reprinted it in a limited run of 300 copies in 2000. It covers the church, various houses and roads, and includes notes on Carlton, Netherfield, Thornywood and Stoke Bardolph. There's a large section of marriages (1558-1812) as well as some rather bizarre miscellaneous records, such as the 1663 Heath Tax records! I don't imagine it's easy to find, but it's worth a read if you have any ancestors from the area. John Peel

Hi Di It depends on what you call the mid 1800's As far as I can tell the 50th were not in Australia or NZ then From Regiments.org 50th Regt 1833 England 1834-5 at sea prisoner escort in detachments 1834 Australia 1841 India (various other postings but not Australia or New Zealand) 1857 Ceylon 1863 New Zealand 1863 Moari War 1866 Australia 1869 England How do you come by the 50th regt and the placing in Australia mid 1800's ?
