( Especially newbies who live far away from the UK and who may be not too familiar with the areas) Were You Aware . Parish Maps for England Alan Billing writes: "Bulletin readers may be interested in the useful maps of English parishes at http://maps.familysearch.org/ , based upon parishes of 1851 (and so including some "new" Victorian parishes split off from an ancient parish). The viewer is first shown a county map of England. There is a search window in which to enter a name (e.g. Southgate); it then lets you choose from a list of possible choices (unless it is unique). In this case, there are three entries, and the one I want is Southgate, Middlesex. It then displays a plan view of the parish of Southgate, and additional parishes, overlaying a Google map or satellite image if desired. A panel lets you look at "Info" (basic parish information such as date range of parish records), "Jurisdictions" (the relevant jurisdictions within which it falls including county, civil registration district, probate court, diocese, poor law union) and "Options" (see below). Using the map overlay, it is quite easy to determine if an existing road is within Southgate, or an adjacent parish (all named); and where an address is relative to the adjacent parish churches (if you have their addresses). "Options" can give you a list of selectable adjacent parishes, and also will list the name and distance to all adjacent parishes within a specified radius. The latter is very handy when seeking a possible out-of-parish marriage since most such are within about 10 miles of the home parish. It is possible to print at least some of the information and maps, though I've not explored that much yet." Margaret Taylor ( Port Perry.Ont)

I have been desperately looking for my Elizabeth GILL for many years. Elizabeth married Thomas ROBINSON and became my Gx3 Grandmother in Stockport, Cheshire on 28 Jun 1836.

Thanks Jane that is certainly a possibility but at the advanced age of 89 in 1851 it would seem unlikely that he would still be fishing or seafaring wouldn't you agree? Many of my PROCTOR, CARROTT branches have strayed north from Lincs & Essex to either Grimsby or Hull. Robert may have had Lincs connections in his family and gone a'visiting I suppose.

My thanks to all who responded to my request for information about the private Roman Catholic chapel on the Tempest estate at Broughton Hall - most interesting, as I didn't know until now that I had any Catholic ancestors, albeit Sylvester Bracewell and Nanny Parker being only collateral ones. Of course, I must point out (before somebody else does) that everyone was Catholic before 1533 when Henry VIII split with Rome but I haven't yet found anyone that far back. I am convinced that Sylvester and Nanny (or Nancy) must have been the same couple who married at Kirkby Malham in 1777 and then christened three boys at Broughton between 1792 and 1798 because in each entry the mother is shown on the IGI as "Annae" (Latin) Parker. I wonder why they waited so long to have children or perhaps they had others elsewhere earlier, but if so they are not on the IGI. However, I have now investigated further and found something even more interesting! If you enter the batch number M140001 into FamilySearch you will come up with no fewer than 46 marriages at the Broughton Hall Catholic chapel between 1757 and 1835 - only one of them a Tempest, so I would assume all the others were estate workers. This, of course, was during the lengthy period when all marriages apart from Jews and Quakers had to take place in the Church of England under Hardwicke's Marriage Act. Clearly, the marriages in a Catholic church or chapel would not have been valid in law, so in most cases there was probably another marriage in an Anglican church, often on the same day. A couple of examples..... HENRY BRACEWELL married ELISABETH PRESTON at Carlton in Craven, near Skipton, on 18 February 1765 (M106122) and on the same day the Broughton Hall chapel records a marriage ceremony for HENRICUM BRACEWELL and ELIZABETHAE PRESTON. I have not yet established whether Henry was one of my Bracewells but it's possible. ELISABETH TEMPEST (presumably one of the Tempest daughters) married JOHN TRAFFORD at Broughton near Skipton on 23 Sept 1773 (M106102) and on the same day ELIZAB. TEMPEST married JOAN. TRATFORD (presumable the groom was Latinised as Johan) at Broughton Hall chapel. It must have been an interesting experience in those days getting married if you were Roman Catholic and the happy couple and their guests had to dash between two churches! I wonder if they walked or used fast coaches? I confess that Catholicism is one of the areas in which my usual knowledge and expertise is somewhat lacking. Would anyone care to comment on whether the Tempest family's estate workers would have been forced to follow their lord and master's religion? Wasn't it slightly dangerous, even in that time, to be a Catholic Recusant? -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
