    3. Sometimes in this game you set out looking for one thing and find something else! I was looking for the baptisms of Frances Jane Clarissa FORD and James Samuel FORD (eventually found courtesy of SEAX in St.Mary Magdalene, East Ham), and in the process came across a burial record for another sister! New Gravel Pit Meeting House, Paradise Fields (RG4/4244 National Archives) Ellen Hester, daughter of James Edward and Frances FORD of Homerton buried 22 August 1818, aged 12 months Then, by a happy chance, I looked at the entries immediately before this entry and immediately after. Louise, daughter of Philip and Louise MARILLIER of Homerton buried 4 August 1818 aged 4 months (family grave) Louise, wife of Philip MARILLIER of Homerton buried 1 December 1818 aged 22 years So, having set out looking for Frances, I found her sister's burial and the burial of the first wife and child of the man she would later marry!! I have updated the extra information files on eggsa but currently only new files are showing under Recently Updated as I am doing some housekeeping and didn't want loads of older files showing up as Updated when I had just been fixing links and adding lines to older tables to make them more legible. The only new file I have added since the Settler Returns is one for Mary DIXON/BARNES/HARPER Off on holiday this weekend. Hope to get back to the Grahamstown Journal in April. Sue
