Great, thank you all who replied to me so quickly. Sob Sob though.... the site tells me I have to upgrade to a better browser (Microsoft?) but, I am running 'Marcel' on an Acorn Risc PC machine (not a PC platform). Has anyone else had this problem - what did you do. I was to start 'exploring' the various IGI parishes to dig out my relies :-). Hopefully, someone will be in the know. -- Jayne Priaulx, Guernsey.

Hi Jayne Please ignore my last - I was answering the wrong question - put it down to too many grey hairs - as Pat says go to: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp And as long as you have a name you should be OK: I was trying to explain how to down load a whole batch without a name :-( and was confusing the issue, but nevertheless handy when you have names with alternate spelling which might not come within the IGI remit! But to answer the question about a browser - you do need an up to date version due to the Javascript that the LDS have now included in the pages.

Hi Jayne Ummm, yes, not first time and only with a bit of fiddling around: once I input the batch no eg C074101 for East St Independent, Beaminster, Dorset and Selected "British Isles" it asked for a name: similarly when I selected the country "England" it did the same, and again when I selected "Dorset" I received the same response BUT when I changed country to read "All countries" it worked OK. Make sure that when you start you use a batch number that you know works and has data, otherwise you can get a result with a nil return and may think it still isn't working :-)) Then once you've got it working - hopefully - substitute the new batch numbers you want to look at. It looks as if, following the update of the site, there is a bit a bit of a glitch in the java script? I'm using Internet Explorer Ver 5.50. Regards Paul Portland

Hi, RE : Familysearch.org.uk????? I believe that you used to be able to access the 'old style' site, enter an IGI Batch No. with a surname and view those people born/ buried in that parish. Try as I might now in the new style site, I cannot find a place to enter 'IGI Batch No's. Has this facility disappears.. or perhaps... my browser isnt quite up to the mark any more. Has anyone else had any luck? -- Jayne Priaulx, Guernsey.

http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_I GI.asp This link has a box for entering batch numbers when you want to search. Can't say I've tried it, haven't got batch numbers, but the form looks like what you want. Pat Patterson patpnyc@nyc.rr.com www.patpnyc.com

Hi, This newspaper clipping was on the Ontario, Canada list and thought it might be of interest to anyone searcing this name. I know of several Bradfords in England and not sure which one this about. Sherida ****** These clippings were saved in a book by my great-grandmother Sarah Elizabeth (SELBY) AGAR, or perhaps by her mother, Eliza (BELL) SELBY. Unfortunately, most are not dated and I do not know which newspaper they were from. However, I suspect that many of them were from The Alliston Herald. I will type them just as they appear -- spelling mistakes, punctuation and all! Patti Hand Mrs. William BALL The death of Mrs. William BALL at her home on the fourth line of Essa on Tuesday of last week, the 20th inst., was a shock to her relatives and friends. She had not been enjoying robust health for some time, but no thought of a fatal termination had been entertained. A few days before the end came she commenced to decline rapidly, the malady, goitre, having reached the stage where medical skill could no [sic] nothing to stay the progress and dissolution ensued. Mrs. BALL, whose maiden name was Mary MOORE, was born in Bradford, England, and came to Canada in 1904. She made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Thos. DUNN at Elmgrove and for the balance of her life Mrs. BALL and Mrs. DUNN held for each other the affection of mother and daughter. It was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. DUNN Mrs. BALL was married in 1907. Most of her married life was spent on the farm on the fourth line of Essa which her husband works with energy and success. Besides her husband she leaves one son, Willie, and two sisters and two brothers in the old country. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon last. Service was held at the home by Rev. A. C. McCOLLUM, rector of St. Peter's church of which Mrs. BALL was an active member. Interment was made in the Alliston cemetery, the pall bearers being Herbert DUNN, John DUNN, Samuel DUNN, John BALL, George BALL and Leonard BALL. *****

Hi For those with Dorset interests I note that the Dorset Record Office pages have now been revamped: see: http://www.dorset-cc.gov.uk A bit of a nightmare trying to copy the URL for the Archive's pages so its a case of saying go to the A-Z Index and select Archives. One positive thing that I can see about the site is that they've now included details of the Registration Service with a map of Dorset and what is where: http://www.dorset-cc.gov.uk/corporatehome/CorporateServices/RegistrationService/RegistrationService-CJDS-4STLNF.nsf/71cc30efc094359c802564be0065e473/e7f3416ed07e9134802569cf0058a9f1?OpenDocument Click on the map for local details!

Another list of Wessex-plus strays in Jersey (not New Jersey) in 1851 and 1871. I have noted where there are others of the same surname at the same reference and have assumed that they are the same family. I have also noted where those in one list also appear in the other index - they usually gave their birthplace as 'England' in the other index. This list does not include all the strays - I will have missed some and others will have given their birthplace consistently as England. I do not know anything further about anyone on this list.

Hi Jean I never thought that I would find anyone else researching HUSSEYs in Somerset. Although I cannot make any connection yet, I have a HUSSEY family in Bristol in 1881 census and the father George gave his birthplace as Holler Somerset. There is (as far as I know) no such place in Somerset so I am pinning my hopes on Aller, Somerset. In 1881 there were 146 HUSSEYs in Somerset, 304 in Dorset, 80 in Wiltshire, 172 in Gloucestershire but only 1 Adam in the whole lot. I had a quick check for STRODE, Mary and came up with this as a possible. The only others were a Mary Jane born 1852 (a bit too old) and a Mary A. born 1872. Dwelling: Kingswood Farm Census Place: Hardington Mandeville, Somerset, England William STRODE M 48 M Haselbury, Somerset, Rel: Head Occ: Farmer 284 Acres Employing 1 Labourer Rebecca STRODE M 46 F Nether Compton, Dorset, Rel: Wife Occ: Farmers Wife Elizabeth Alice STRODE U 20 F Yeovil, Somerset, Rel: Daughter Occ: Farmers Daughter William Henry STRODE U 18 M Yeovil, Somerset, Rel: Son Occ: Farmers Son Mary STRODE 14 F Yeovil, Somerset, Rel: Daughter Occ: Farmers Daughter + lots more kids I would be interested in any more HUSSEYs you have.
