Hi All,
I have come across a reference to a Southill Enclosure Act of 1797 and I don't recall this being referenced anywhere else on these boards. If this involved the redistribution of land in the village and was an Act of Parliament this might be a source of valuable information and be available?
Any one any thoughts?
Cheers,
Neil.

Hi Neil,
Sorry for delay in replying - away for Easter. I think the Nellie you mentioned was my grandmother. She married Herbert Mell in 1903. If I'm right David married Annie Scott in London in 1875, he died 1882. Annie remarried in 1901.

My name is Margaret Dowd. My father was John Eric Carver. John's father was George Thomas Carver who married Ruth Elizabeth Schofield. George Thomas Carver's parents were Samuel Carver and Emma Cox. Thomas Carver's parents were Thomas Carver and Lydia Bird.
George Thomas Carver and his wife Ruth Elizabeth Schofield and their family moved to Canada, George came in 1910 and Ruth and her children moved to Canada about 1913.
George's brother Jonah Cox Carver also came to Canada.
Margaret Dowd
Hi all!
I'm related to Margaret, as my Great Grandfather was Jonah Cox Carver. 
Actually Margaret was in touch with my family years ago and she's been good enough to share what she's discovered about 'our side' of the family tree back to John & Elizabeth Merrington, but hasn't discovered anything further... 
My side of the family was very surprised to hear about Margaret's information, as it had been passed down that Jonah was an orphan! 
Jonah and his wife Selina Coates moved with their 3 sons to Canada about 1915. If anyone would like more info on this side, please send me a note, I'd be happy to share 
I've been trying to trace back further to the parents or further ancestors of John Carver with nothing definite. I've found the only search site that goes back that far is the FamilySearch website - is there any others? I've also come across(what was previously mentioned) a John and Mary Willamson (Williamson?) who had a son John.... wonder at the odds of this being the parents...
I find reading the previous posts all very interesting, not only the names but how families tended to move from one county to another (or one country to another....) Thanks to all for attaching very helpful and interesting links...

Hi Sandra
Welcome to Rootschat  Glad you decided to post.
I am pretty convinced that John Carver and Mary Williamson/Willason are the parents of our John but as you say no definite proof - although if this John isn't ours can't see what would have happened to him. Still working on it!
This site is useful as it allows you to search the IGI by parish and you only get extracted records
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/
If you want an entry checked for further info post on the look-up board here and someone will do that for you.

Hello Everyone,
What a great site! I don't know if I'm supposed to post this here so apologies if I have interupted someone!
I am really hoping one of you knowledgeable lot can shed some light on my side of the Carver Family. I am Thomas Carver, my father is Neil Carver and his father was Reginald Carver. Reg was born in West Rudham in Norfolk, England. His father was Robert John Carver (Great Granddad Bob).
I believe Bob’s father was James Carver, born about 1861 in Mulbarton, Norfolk, England, and married to Clara Hook. They had several children…Lilian Emily, James, Robert John (Bob), Frederick, Florence, Frank, Arthur and Eleanor.
I think James and Clara emigrated to the US (New York State) along with Arthur, Frank and Florence sometime between 1901 and 1917. In England they left behind Lilian Emily, Robert, Frederick, Eleanor and James.
I have come to a halt when I get back to 1881 and am really trying further things, I suppose I will get there eventually? It’s wonderful to see that the Carvers are making an effort! Anyone with any info?
Best wishes to you all.
Tom Carver

Hi Tom
Welcome to Rootschat
If you are stuck before 1881 you could try posting for 41-71 census look-up here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,243.0.html
Post the 1881 details you have and anything else you definitely know eg birth or marriage certificate details and someone will help you go back from there.
Happy hunting
Jan

Hello Everyone,
Sandy, Jan and Nick, sorry about the delay in getting back to you…I’ve been working over the weekend. You’ve all been so helpful, I really can’t thank you enough. Sandy, I would love copies…what do you need from me? I suspected many of the family emigrated but knowing exactly who and when is fantastic, thank you.
Jan, I’m still searching!
Nick,
My side of the family MUST fit in here somewhere, we’re from slightly west of Norfolk but so close to Hardley, Lodden etc. After searching a little more, it appears my great, great grandfather was James Carver, born 1861. I believe his father (Jonathan) is the brother of William Carver, born 1826 and who is shown in the family tree on the page you gave me. In fact, the page states that William was a witness at the marriage of Jonathan and Esther in 1856. It seems that brothers Jonathan and James Carver married the sisters, Susan and Esther Cossey. It would be really interesting to know where you fit in…are you a near or distant relative?
Thanks again for your help. Best wishes to all.
Tom Carver
