    1. [VANORFOL] 1840s marriage look up, please

    3. --part1_9.272b51f.25e47972_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit sorry...missed an L in the address please see my question below thanks --part1_9.272b51f.25e47972_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-path: [email protected] From: [email protected] Full-name: LPViola Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2000 18:34:19 EST Subject: 1840s marriage look up, please To: [email protected] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 4.0 for Windows 95 sub 38 Hello, I live in New Jersey but my maternal great grandmother's family resided in St Brides Parish in the 1800s and maybe earlier. I have located them in the 1850, 1860, & probably in the 1870, which I will verify when I receive it from Heritage Quest. The index on Ancestry.com shows Samuel Miller there in 1810 & 1820 also. Their first child was born 1846 (census info), so I wonder if anyone can find the marriage info.....I guess 1845 or so? I have the names as Samuel Miller (b. abt 1824) married to Elizabeth Eldridge (b. abt 1827). I question the Eldridge, as I saw so many Etherages in St Brides in the census but no Eldridges. I hope someone can help......I really appreciate it. Also, would anyone know how I can learn about what St Brides was like in the 1800s? All the Millers were farmers and they all stayed very near to each other. Many thanks, Louise Viola --part1_9.272b51f.25e47972_boundary--

    1. [VANORFOL] finding Wills & Deeds
    2. Steve & Anne Lanning

    3. I posted an inquiry for a volunteer to lookup a will for me in Norfolk. Many people wrote asking how I knew it was there and how did I find the Book and Page number, so I thought I'd respond to the list in case others are interested, too. A helper in Richmond is very good at this stuff. I am not. But she sent me that info having found what I had asked for in the Library of VA holdings. Use this link to read online what is available. It is correct as is: http://image.vtls.com/Reel461/ You can get any of these films on Inter-Library Loan. My problem was that I needed Will Book #9 for Norfolk City, and the LVA does not have it; only Books 1-8. It does reside, however, in the Norfolk City Courthouse, which is why I was looking for a helper. This is all I know about these books. Good luck! Steve
