Hi Folks, I am working on the OSBORNE family of which my nephew in New Zealand is a part and as far back as I have got to the present, with the great help from 2 members of this list. I am unable to move back any further, so I am hoping to get some help here once again The couple I am interested in is Robert Osborne and his wife Lydia, living in the vicinity of Stow and later, Old Newton I have not found a marriage record so do not know the wife's surname, but the couple had several children Robert OSBORNE 1812, George OSBORNE 1814, Samuel OSBORNE 1817, Eliza OSBORNE 1821, Sarah OSBORNE 1826, John OSBORNE 1828, Mary Ann OSBORNE 1834 I am hoping someone can help me. In a previous email to this list I explained I was creating an Excell spread sheet of the O*SBO*RN* family in Suffolk by location ( Parish). The source of the entries was the old IGI Fiche and the spread sheet contains some 3000 entries, to which I will add as I find them by searching on line via Ancestry.com and Family search. If anyone would like a copy I would be happy to email you one, so contact me directly Philip H. White in New Hampshire USA, Roots in Sussex and IOW

Hi Phil and Brian, In my (much neglected) records I have a Lydia who was born / christened in Stowupland 15 Feb 1789. Her parents were Samuel GODBOLD and Elizabeth SCOTCHMERE of Mickfield. Lydia has siblings Elizabeth 1785, Sarah 1787, Mary (Ann) 1791, Samuel 1793 and another Elizabeth (but one could have been Eliza, or the 1st one died, but I don't have a death date) born / christened 1796. From the names you have for your OSBORNEs it looks likely this is the Lydia you are looking for. I don't have Lydia married to anyone, as yet ;) I have spent quite a while trying to change to Legacy, and have to get used to this now, after being with Brothers Keeper for years, but if it is any use I can send the rest of the details direct. I don't spend half the time I would like and used to, on Family History. Need another 'me' or more hours in a day ... Cheers, Deb. -----Original Message----- From: suffolk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:suffolk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Phil White Sent: Monday, 18 October 2010 9:15 AM To: suffolk@rootsweb.com Subject: [SFK-UK] OSBORNE Hi Folks, I am working on the OSBORNE family of which my nephew in New Zealand is a part and as far back as I have got to the present, with the great help from 2 members of this list.
