Eli's family are on Black Country Connections Mavis:- http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/family-tree/bcconnections/231910/3804/Charles-Hadley-Family

Dear List, I am researching the above names who are from the Rowley Regis ( Old Hill) and Middlebrough area's. I have a William Arthur HADLEY marrying a Mary Ann Sophia SINGLETON 19th November 1906, in Middlesburgh. William Arthur's Father was John HADLEY marrying ( I think an Ann WESTWARD (WESTWOOD) about 1869 in Barrow-in-Furness, I think. John's Mother may have been Maria HALL and his Father could have been Eli HADLEY. Could anyone cast any light on any of these people please? Many thanks in advance, Regards, Mavis Williams (Mrs.)

Another reason for incomplete parishes is that the person doing the transcription was only interested in either the male or the female baptisms and so ignored the other sex. This is one of the most frustrating reasons for them being incomplete as it means you have to go through the images yourself to find the missing ones. This has happened to me several times. However I would always recommend looking at the source anyway as there is often more information than shown in the IGI.

Remember that the old IGI also contained "member submissions" of variable quality (to say the least). So if an entry for your ancestor's baptism had been submitted by a member, when the PRs or BTs including that baptism were entered in a batch, your ancestor's entry in the batch would be rejected as the member submission got there first.

Hello, I know that the IGI isn't comprehensive but I've always assumed that when it gives the name of the parish and the dates covered that it meant that I could be certain that those dates were actually complete. Could this be wrong? I have found surnames that seem to disappear from baptisms half way through the nominally covered timescale in the Parish and then numerous Parish marriages for unidentified brides and grooms in the same Parish who would have very likely been born during this period. Don't get me wrong, I am hugely grateful for the IGI which is a wonderful resource. I just want to know whether I should be checking the Staffordshire archives for Parishes where I have previously thought I had no need to do so. Helen

Looking for information on Richard Phillips who lived in or near Checkley. I know of 3 children: John Phillips who died about 1743, he lived at Hollybush farm near Checkley. He left land known as Lower Ditch at Lower Tean to his 2 sisters - Margaret wife of Samuel Bostock and Elizabeth wife of John Shilton. Pam .

Thank you, will try them.   I think he may well be William CHATTERS in 1841 in Ancestry as that looks more like CHATTERLEY in the original.   Now for 1851. Mike Michael,     Family Search use Find My Past as the source of census data. So that's where you should find it.     You can do a basic search for free on Find My Past, but you have to pay for the detail or image. You could choose their pay per view option.     What you might like to try is click on the camera icon for William Chatterley in Family Search and follow the prompts to see if it gives a census reference. Then try using that in Ancestry.     Otherwise, simply try a variety of searches like Wm Chat* or Chat* males b1826 +/-5 in Staffs.     Peter

Hello Again   Thank you for people who helped me start on the CHATTERLEYs in Staffs.  I'm back again.   Family Search has an 1841 reference to William CHATTERLEY (b 1826 in Ashley Staffs) which I cannot find in Ancestry at my library.  I cannot find him in 1851 either.   Would like help with those please.   Thanks Mike Kawerau 3127 casofilia@xtra.co.nz ________________________________

Hi Janet How do I look for a will. Do I have to get in touch with Lichfield Archives and ask them to do a search. Julie

It could prove expensive - have a look on their website for their charges. Also do you know when William died? It is probably between 1841 and 1851 as I can't see him in the 1851 census but that is still a 10 year period for the Archives staff to search and he may not have left a will anyway. I think it is more than likely that your George is the son of William & Hannah but the difficulty is finding his baptism. I still think I would go down the avenue of looking through the actual parish records of Uttoxeter. After all, IGI Family Search entries are only transcriptions and George's baptism may well have been missed. George himself left a will. Ancestry's National Probate Calendar shows that he died 14 January 1866 at Beamhurst and that his will was proved 9 May 1866 at Lichfield and his Executor was his son Richard, Farmer of Stramshall. Perhaps if you obtained his will it may just mention some of his siblings. You have to apply to Leeds and you can download the appropriate form from www.courtservice.gov.uk Janet -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Saw Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 9:17 AM To: staffordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [STAFFORDSHIRE] Parish Records Hi Janet How do I look for a will.
