I am also researching this family and one of my contacts gave the parents of Zachariah as Tabrum Garrod (c.1775)and Mary Granger(c.1781), but I have not been able to confirm this myself. Zachariah was born at Denston about 1810. Perhaps there is a member living in this region who has access to the parish registers who may be able to help Pauline Jones 8317

Thanks Roger and Marion I tried revisiting some of the Sussex baptisms for those I'd already extracted from the BVRI CDs. Found a little problem with those for Northchapel. It supposedly offers you a choice of two parishes but make sure you only select the Sussex option. The "West Sussex" default option only brings up some speculation that must have been entered by a patron, a "researcher" who didn't do any research with Sussex records. One of the other searches offered is for some of the Ellis Island arrivals. I hadn't ever tried looking for any of the potential emigrants in my tree but have now found a few.

Hi again Pam I tried ballfamilyrecords.co.uk and found it registered to a Richard Ball at the address you specified. Take a look at http://www.who.is/whois-uk/ip-address/ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/ The renewal date is shown as 12 Apr 2010, so it doesn't appear to have expired. If you go to http://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/ it looks like what I imagine it's supposed to ("The Ball family of Hastings"). Hope this helps!

I am sorry to contradict you, but the British Isles Vital Records Index is now available online for baptisms and marriages up to 1906. It is available on the new-ish LDS trial web site at www.pilot.familysearch.org . The site can be a little slow to load at times, so you do need to be patient and the site only shows 10 records per page, compared to 200 records on the main site. However, in addition to the BVRI, there are lots of new records available for searching; and if you only want to investigate a particular database, you have that option by scrolling down the initial page and then clicking on the database of your choice. If this is the "face of things to come" from the LDS, then it will be a most welcome addition to the array of indexes now available online. I haven't yet found a way to download the information, but I expect that will come in time. However, it is possible to copy individual events to your clipboard and keep a record of them in MS Word etc. Best wishes Marion Woolgar Bognor Regis, West Sussex SFHG NO: 3323

The records are not on line. Apparently there is a list on line of the parishes covered (from a previous email) but to view the actual records one must purchase the CD. It is extremely reasonable for what it contains. It is produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) by volunteers and the cost is mainly just for the expense of producing the CDs. I am not sure if it can be purchased on line but try familysearch.org Beverly

Dear Corinne, I know how you feel. We bought a new iMac last year after becoming frustrated with the instability of Windows on an HP PC. We kept Family Tree Maker (version 16, 2006) on the old PC but eventually it's going to need replacing. We have been considering purchasing the new Reunion 9 which is designed specifically for Macs. Do you or other listers know anything about it?

Picking up on Bryan's point (which subsequent correspondents did not mention) about the capabilities of current Apple Mac computers: I have an iMac with Mac OS X Tiger, version 10.4.11. This is based upon Unix, and my understanding is that it can be configured to run either Mac OS9 or Windows, then revert to Mac OS X according to need. I have never had occasion to use this facility (and don't use dedicated FH software) but perhaps it might enable people to use the software under discussion. Very likely the most recent Mac OS X Leopard, version 10.5 has still greater capability in this respect. MikeS.

Hello Listers, Tried both Soft Windows and Virtual PC on my lovely Mac when I started my Family History some years ago, but fast came to the conclusion that (apart from the expense) Windows emulation products were more trouble than they were worth. And why put a Ford Escort motor in a Rolls Royce anyway! Also came to the conclusion that the suppliers of genealogy products needed to face the fact that there are a lot of Mac users and produce products that are Mac compatible, as most now do. As the consumer, we need to let the suppliers know what we want. They wont know if we don't tell them. When we do, they will usually help. Kindest Regards ......

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query regarding the value of the BVRI. Special thanks to Michael Lucas who did some sample look ups for me.   I have now found a site that indicates the coverage of the BVRI: http://www.genoot.com/downloads/BVRI2/. Sadly very few parishes that I am interested in are covered by the BVRI and so I will not be purchasing the index at present.   However if the parishes that other listers are interested in are covered in depth by the index then I would agree that it is a useful index.   Perhaps a third updated version will be issued with more records and then I will review my decision.  Kind regards Roger Rushton Cheshire __________________________________________________________ Not happy with your email address?.

Some of the Rotherfield records to about 1805 are listed incorrectly under Groombridge, if I remember rightly.

It is an extraction of parish records done by volunteers. For the most part - it is accurate. The only problem I have found so far is that the incorrect parish is listed in some of the entries.

Hello Eleanor, Thank you for helping me with this and please thank your husband, it is very kind of you both. I already have all the info from Australia, including the Passenger List, Bounty Agents dockets. etc. etc. According to the records, the barque, "Amelia Thompson", did arrive in Botony Bay on 1st. July 1838 ...... having sailed from Plymouth on 28th. March. Those on board were mostly "Bounty Migrants" brought out by Marshall. It was a "Typhus Ship" and was quarantined on arrival. it's Master, Captain Dawson, attributed at least 30 of the 40+ deaths during the voyage to Typhus ...... two of whom were from my family. The voyage has been well documented, including in the newspapers of the day. Even "The Times" gave it a mention. But before I had to put my research on hold, I found a reference in UK records of the Parish paying or contributing to the passage monies for my ELDRIDGEs and then my husband became ill before I could order it. It would have had to been a "reliable source" and I can remember that I was going to get UK type money to order it. Feel sure that the record was in Sussex. My mind keeps going back to "Poor Law" records, but that could be because I know that in some Parishes, the "Overseers of the Poor" did pay, or contribute to, the fares of Parishioners to emigrate. Can't find anything on The National Archives site. Would love to be able to get the information. Kindest Regards ......

Dear Corinne, My husband's advice is to try the NSW State Archives. We have had a quick look but couldn't find any reference to people called Eldridge arriving in 1838 (though there were some on other dates), nor any reference to the "Amelia Thompson". He was surprised not to find the ship. Is it worth going back to your source for this information to check again? (I dragged him into it because he's the one with Australian ancestors so knows his way round these records. I'm only a first generation Aussie.)

Hello Fellow Members, Have had to put my Sussex research on hold due to other commitments, but am now back again and need some advice, please. Several years ago I found a reference (but can't remember where) to my ELDRIDGEs from Ewhurst having their passage monies to Australia paid, or part paid, by the Ewhurst Parish. They sailed on the "Amelia Thompson", arriving Botony Bay on 1st. July 1838. Before I could order the record, my husband became ill ...... Who would have those records? Kindest Regards ...... Corinne in Melbourne, Australia.
