Hi Robert, Although I'd attempted to reply to this thread a week ago, it was one of the Lost E-Mails caused by the problems of my Server, Tiscali. So this is a second attempt! If your Ancestor died on a Mail Coach at Areley Kings, it seems a bit unlikely that he was on an Official Mail Coach, as there are (and were) no main trunk routes that passed through there. And in any case, if he died there on a Birmingham to London journey the Driver would've had to've fitted his SatNav upside down..... Areley Kings is West and South of Birmingham; London is roughly South-East of it. However, there's a faint possibility that he *might* have died at Arley, WAR - *IF* the Mail Coach Route ran from Birmingham roughly due East in order to join the old Roman Road of Watling Street - effectively today's Main Trunk Route A5 (London - Holyhead). But it still feels a little unlikely. But an area where the routes can probably be found should come up on a [UK-only] Google-Search of < Mail AND Coach > which produced a number of hits, and while a swift glance didn't show up any detailed routes, there look to be sufficient links to be able to find out what you want. < http://www.postalheritage.org.uk/exhibitions/movingthemail/postboysmailcoaches > is probably as good a place to start as anywhere - and it'll give some background. But the routes seem to've been fixed by the Post Office, as that was the prime reason for the Service, so it's probably unlikely that they'd've altered very much between the introduction of the Service in 1784 and its general abandonment to the Railways in the 1840s/50s. Gus Hi Robert, If you can track down one of the trade directories (precursors to the telephone directories) for the county / town you are looking at they often have a list of coaches in them associated to the various inns and taverns. That may give you a clue as to where he was staying and coming from etc. Happy Hunting Pickard Trepess Nagykanizsa, Hungary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Glover" <glovergen@gmail.com> To: <warwick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 12:04 PM Subject: [WAR] Birmingham to London coach > Thanks list for all your helpful replies - From the replies it would > seem that my > ancestor was travelling not from Birmingham_but from somewhere else_to > London because he died at Areley Kings opposite Stourport-on-Severn. > He was a merchant and traveled between Camborne (Cornwall), > Bristol,Newport (Monmouthshire), Birmingham, and London using the mail > coaches because they ran through the night.

G'day All I am a little concerned at some of the fees charged by various professional researchers that may be aimed at those Family Historians living overseas. A very well presented website that I found recently left me speechless- (a rare event ) I am sure that much of the information they "sell" can be found online or at much less cost and that having local knowledge is very important for obtaining the best results. For example -charging £165 per day for research-and £99 for a "Village Profile" makes me I wonder what extra information you'd receive that we don't give out for FREE on the Mailing Lists. This particular site advertises info found in Trade Directories, census records etc etc- most of these records are widely available nowadays. In the last century I spent months finding one obscure census record (trawling fiche and films) that can be found in minutes online now so why the huge profit ? Fair enough if you are hunting for hours in the bowels of the WRO and transcribing Latin etc- etc. May I suggest that Subscribers take the time to access the credentials of the people they employ as well as being aware that using those who have a slick website does not mean you'll get value for money or better service (or reliable results) There are some excellent researchers on this List who can find the records you require, take photos etc and who will only charge a small sum to cover expenses and their time etc. They are not allowed to advertise their prices on the Mailing Lists - only add a URL to their signature block. (some have not done that - but I have no objections -so please ask me if in doubt) Some overseas subscribers may wish to ask on the Warwick List who other people have employed and for the names of those they recommend- please do so. The information can be sent to you off list and you will know by the response who to trust and who will give you value for money. As some-one who has never made a cent from my own hard work- I hate to see others taking advantage of the unwary ! Good hunting Wendy Boland Warwick List Admin

G'day I was interested to see the comments on Certificate Agents I guess some are out to fleece the unwary. However , there are some honest ones out there. I have used the same person to obtain Certs for the last 7 years and have recommended him to many, many researchers. He has never let me down- He is reliable and honest - prompt and efficient- his turnaround time is about 1 week depending on the time it takes him to obtain the cert. I have ordered my certs by email- posted off a cheque the following week and had the info sent back by email before the payment was received! He charges under $30 Australian per cerificate if ordered with info that enables him to find the correct one for you or charges a little extra to do a 5 year search- He accepts credit cards or bank cheques in Aussie dollars or Canadian etc and calculates his exchange rates depending on the currency value at the time. So I don't have to fork out a huge sum for a Sterling cheque note Australian Post Offices no longer issue Postal Orders so that avenue of payment is closed to us I have recently ordered a Will through him and it took a few weeks longer but was cheaper than going directly through the Archives and paying over $25 to get a bank cheque . If anyone overseas is interested I am happy to send his URL - Wendy Boland Warwick List Admin. Hi everyone, Just want a bit of advice about obtaining a marriage certificate. I see that I have a few options. 1. Directly from the GRO. 2. FRom the Warwick records office 3. FRom the various researchers that offer a certificate service. >From what I have been able to find by searching on the internet, obtaining a certificate from the GRO or from the Warwick records office is much cheaper. I am wondering if there are any possible problems obtaining them from these places. I live in Australia. Has anyone had any experience it how long it would take to get to me from the GRO or Warwick records office.

A very timely reminder. Some recent "inquiries" sound more like order forms to a mail order company than requests for help that's free of charge. It doesn't take much effort to type the six keystrokes of "please" or "thanks", but it makes all the difference in the world!

Gramma was recruited to join this group and come to canada. They paid her passage and she was to paid them back with wages she recieved from job placement. I have read the brochure they used to recruit and that was the deal anyways. It was an employment agency for domestics ( nurses, maids, typists). Does anyone have more information on this guild? Since both Gramma and her sister joined I would think there would be more from this area. Thank you --------------------------------- All new Yahoo!

Hi Matt I`m from Australia too. If I remember correctly when you order your certificates from the GRO they give you an estimated despatch date.

Hi Wendy I have tried to contact you off list, but the mail keeps coming back to me through maildemon as unknown, will you contact me to see if I can return you a message. Thanks Rgards Yvonne John

In the USA you do have access to the LDS Family History Centre network. This I did point out in my original post, as it was not obvious which country you were in. The process of working through a parish register means that you are not likely to be misled by any transcription mistakes by others, it also enables you to learn more about the parish and its people. The older registers can be a goldmine of "added information" where incumbents have noted incidents in the locality. J. Since I'm in the US, stopping by the county record office as well as "local libraries" would be a stretch. > >Copies of parish registers can be viewed in the county record office; also >some local libraries hold copies for parishes within their area.

That's a very good point to make, Gus, thank you. I will now go through my marriage certificates that I obtained from the Northampton Register Office and check the parish registers for local ones. Janet Northampton UK A Fair Comment - BUT.... The "original" at the Local Registrar's Office - from which the copy was made to send to National Office - was itself a transcript... [Unless, of course, the marriage took place *in* the Registrrar's Office, or in a place 'licenced to perform Marriages', but nevertheless not permitted to hold Registers.] Once you've got the certificate, and so *know* just where the marriage took place, then's the time to look at the Original.... Gus

Copies of parish registers can be viewed in the county record office; also some local libraries hold copies for parishes within their area. In addition, the LDS Family History Centres have the films available - any of their centres, not just those in UK. You can then work progressively backwards gathering the clan members.
