Hi Wendy Not a problem with the actual transcriptions but a question - can anyone tell why there are gaps in the burials registers please? I have a number of folk who I know lived in Sydenham all their lives and presumably died there but for whom there is no burial record. One of these is Edmund King born c 1764 whose wife is buried, as a widow in 1823, but for whom there is no record in any on the churches in the area (as Edmund or Edward). This is not the Edmund King for who there is a burial record that was his son. Their last child 3 x great grand pa was born 1787 so Edmund died some time between then and May 1823. I have all the Thame CDs and South Oxfordshire 03 so think I have covered all the options I can through those. For some reason the MI transcriptions that someone sent me years ago (a distant relative who had been to the church) survived the crash of my last computer with only the first and last page intact - so no Kings on it - but from memory I do not think that he has gravestone which is not unusual. Was there a non-conformist burial ground in the area and if so where would I find the records please?

Wendy - I've been in touch with the OFHS MI coordinator. The Sydenham Baptist church has several KING records of baptisms in the period for which records exist (1821 to 1837), but he's not aware of any non-conformist burial ground in Sydenham. Going at the problem a different way, OFHS has transcribed the MIs of Sydenham (and you refer to such), but the earliest KING mention is Richard in 1857. So, sorry, no further ideas.

Wendy thank you the man seems to have disappeared into thin air along with a couple of his sons! Whilst the remaining children spread themselves round the UK, Australia and Tasmania it was after the time of his death so will have to take it as very solid brick wall.
