G'day Campers Being an incurable bibliophile I have spent most of my weekend happily trawling around Google books. Found some absolute gems - http://www.google.com./books The following are FULL VIEW and list the names of Warwickshire folk You may have missed some as they don't seem to be very useful for names at first glance. Most of the ones giving the History of a place also include illustrations of buildings etc. The New Visitors Guide to the Spa or Leamington Priors 1824 Author W.T. Moncrieff New Guide to the Royal Leamington Spa, the Neighbouring Towns----- 1839 The History of the Town and School of Rugby Author N.H. Nicholas. The Rugby Register from the 1675 to the Present Time Author Rugby School 1836 (names of Teachers and pupils etc) The Jurist several years -1844 onwards Lists of people appearing at Court- bankrupts etc etc. most with abode included. (found one of mine in Gloucester gaol awaiting his court appearance) Worth a mention- ( you may find the estate your Ag Lab ancestor worked on ) The Baronetage of England 1839 John Debrett For Jacqui General View of the Agriculture of the County of Warwick 1813 Adam Murray Plus The Gardeners Magazine and various other Agricultural mags and books. British Farmers Magazine 1842 The Farmers Magazine 1802 Some Ag mags give the results from Ag Shows around the country so you may find an Ag Lab ancestor whose rhubard won 1st prize at Kenilworth or that GGGrandad won Best in Show with his colt "The Lichfield Tiddler " etc . "The Warwickshire Hunt from 1795 to 1836 " gives a riproaring account of galloping across various parts of the County plus names of those who made it to the KILL or fell on the way. It names the local fields, covets etc. ( and the pubs ) Source of background material for those with grooms huntsmen in their Tree. Search term "freemen+coventry" gave me interesting results- several apprentice's names listed! If anyone finds Parish (church) Magazines listed - holler please. I think these are a very neglected source of information for Family Historians. I have found the Church of England Magazine which lists the names of Clergymen- I want the congregation as well! Good hunting- Wendy Warwick List Admin

For many years now I have been trying to work out who "Aunt" LANCASTER was without much luck!! I have a studio photograph of a woman taken in Syracuse, New York State, U.S.A., by Hudson Photographers of that city. On the back my granny, born Margaret GREEN, has written "Mother's own cousin". Margaret GREEN's mother was born Anne TOWNSEND in Attleborough, Nuneaton, in 1849, the 4th child of John TOWNSEND (born John HARPER) and Sarah SMITH. Her cousins would have been the children of her parents siblings. Her fathers sibling was William III TOWNSEND b. 1815. William III TOWNSEND, born in 1815, married Ann HACKETT in 1842 in Nuneaton. They had 8 children, Sarah, Ellen, William IV, Ellen, Fanny, Emily and Edward. Her mothers siblings were John, Ben, Mary, Ann, William, Frances and George SMITH. Ben, Mary, Ann and George SMITH all died young. John, the eldest, married Mary DUDLEY and lived at Hartshill. He may have married a second time to a Hannah. I think William SMITH moved to Aston, but there are a lot of William SMITHs and it is difficult to trace him. Frances SMITH married Edward FLETCHER from Derbyshire who was bailiff at Church Farm, Astley, for some years. There are several families of Lancaster enumerated in 1880 Census of Syracuse, Onondaga County, N.Y., U.S.A., but none seem to fit. Any ideas? Anne Paling SHEFFIELD, U.K.

Hi guys, Found by accident!! Among many transcription services I do, I do work for Project Gutenberg, I didn't work on this, but found a single issue in a posting. There was (or maybe still is) a journal titles "Notes and Queries - [Date] A Medium on Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, etc" in the middle of the 18th century. For those who are a bit Internet clumsy, these are the steps I took (no insult is meant - I used to work with people who could use email but were Internet Search not so good): I went to the main page at www.gutenberg.org and in the top right hand corner there is the search box - in the TITLE section type in "notes and queries" (case is not necessary) and as of today (15 Oct 07), you will be returned 81 hits. I have already built a simple database to index all issues, I expect it to take some time, but from time to time I will put it on my DAFFORN (dafforn.freeservers.com) website, I will never make it a pay per view because I am a great believer in sharing for free. For those who don't know Project Gutenberg is endeavouring to place as many publish texts, on their site they have about 25,000 and have links to another 75,000 - they have some really old books in many languages, currently on my PDA I am reading books written in the late 18th century to early 19 century about the settlement of Austrralia. But have a browse and a look around - you'll never know what you find there.
