Hi Joe There are three Hampshire lists that I know of. [HAM] (Hampshire list, linked to Hampshire Genealogical Society), [ENG-HANTS], and [HAMPSHIRE-LIFE]. I subscribe to all three. The last two don't seem to be linked to societies, but are hosted by rootsweb, and are very friendly and helpful, though fairly quiet at times. [HAM] has proved difficult for me, too, with several bounces when I started with them. The list administrator was quite particular about how long messages were, what was in them, and what links I put in to try to help others. I was not, for example, allowed to link to the ancestry pages on my website because the website also contained commercial information. However, I have exchanged some useful information with some of the friendly and helpful subscribers. All the best Tony 9967 PS I haven't copied this to EOLFHS, because last time I did that, my message was rejected !?

Christine: As I understand it, the original registers (for register office events) should still be with the register office concerned though some register offices have closed or merged which means they should be with the current register office covering the area. Any register office should be able to advise you. For parish registers, most are now in county record offices. If your local library has a copy of Phillimores Atlas and Guide to Parish Registers that will give you a list, county by county, of which parish registers exist and where they are archived. Later registers not listed should presumably still be at the parish church. Regards John Cain 10370

I have managed to decipher a lot of the certificate, and the fact that she was born in Calcutta Place in what appears to be Bromley. I`ve also changed my opinion of who filled out the form and I now think that the Registrar did the lot including the fathers signature, but the mothers maiden name remains a mystery I have deciphered enough that I think that the last 3 letters are probably aim, the beginning of the name looks like a capital U but on a 45 degree angle to the right with a little squiggle to the left at the base, which is probably part of the letter. I would scan it and send it off to volunteers but I haven`t yet worked out how to install my new scanner. The old scanner worked fine until I went to England last year. when I came home the computer installed a whole heap of updates and presto the scanner dont work XP strikes again. so I went out and bought a Canon MX300 and it has 2 installation CDs.

I have an entry for 31st August 1731 in West Hoathley:- John Faulkoner married Elizabeth Sawyer. Mr Mrs. Does the Mrs under Elizabeth Sawyer imply that Sawyer was her surname from a previous marriage rather than her maiden name?. With many thanks. Robin

Sue, I have checked the Horsham baptismal records of John Scutt, the son of John Scutt of Horsham and Elizabeth Bax of Capel, whom I thought might be the parents of your John born in 1802, but their son John was born in 1786, and there does not appear to have been a John Scutt born in Horsham c. 1800, though there were other Scutts living there at the time. Sorry - I thought I had found the right parents, but it does not seem to be so!

Thank you, Brad, for that clarification - most helpful. Does anyone know what would have happened to the original registers? Were they disposed of locally - i.e. to local museums, county records offices, etc.?

Joe, I suggest you email the relevant Register Office enclosing a scanned copy of the certificate, asking them if they could view the original entry and tell you what the maiden name as the GRO copy is not legible. I recently did this to find out an informants name to a death as the GRO copy was unreadable. Having politely explained the problem, and able to give them the date and place within the district, they then very quickly replied with the name. Stephen Steere Orpington, Kent.

Help please. Edward Noakes born c 1775 died c 1850 was I believe a farmer in Hastings area. He married Mary Harman at All Saints Church, Hastings on 22nd December 1800. His son,also Edward went to farm in Lamberhurst at the time of his marriage in 1823, (? married in Lamberhurst/). I'd like to know more of the Noakes in Hastings and why the move of Edward to Lamberhurst. All advice will be acknowledged. Michael SFHS No 12279

Peter The Sussex People Index has a reference to a James Punnet marrying Ann Cooper but gives her father as George, husbandman of Heathfield area, East Sussex. Will of George Cooper dated 23 January 1746/7 proved 30 November 1749 (Lewes A58 109). It's not in the SFHG Wills Depository as we only have a note of it. The notes say: son in law Jas Punnett, grandson James Punnett, granddaughter Mary Punnett (son and daughter of Jas Punnett and wife Susannah). That's probably made it worse.

Hi Brian, I had a similar problem with my 'Ultimate Family Tree' which is no longer supported - I was unable to load it onto my new PC with Windows XP. In desperation I punched in brief details of my problem on Google which produced loads of websites. Among them was a free download of a patch (No.23 in my case) which was precisely suited to my needs. Once downloaded, it enabled my PC to accept my obsolete family history programme. I think it likely that many programmes that worked on XP won't work on Vista but it is likely that patches have been created to provide a compatible interface.
