Completed - Ashwell parish register lookup - DUMVILLE
« on: Tuesday 20 May 08 13:52 BST (UK) »

I have traced a couple of my DUMVILLE family from Olney Bucks to Ashwell - except they are rarely registered as Dumvill(e); Durnville, Dunnble, Dumbile are some of the numerous variations. It doesn't help that they were also non-conformist

If anyone has access to Ashwell parish register I'd be very grateful for a lookup for the following:
- marriage on 8 June 1794 between James Dumville and Elizabeth Kirbyshire. Who were the witnesses? James' occupation? Anything!
- burial of Elizabeth Dumville 1794-7.   James Dumville of Ashwell married in Potton Beds on 5 June 1797. I think it's the same James so am looking for a burial of Elizabeth. NBI starts in 1798 for Ashwell!
- Thomas Darnwelle buried 1 Apr 1811 - is there any further detail? Son of James and Mary would be nice!

Many thanks in advance

David

Thanks Di, I've got him, he's the one I have been able to trace! He's the son of the second marriage.

Hi David

It may be worth trying the volunteer who offers Lookups from the Ashwell PRs at The Hertfordshire LU Exchange.  Her offer covers the period but her offer says "abstracts" but you may be lucky!

http://graham.rootsweb.ancestry.com/herts_exchange/

Ashwell:  Abstracts from the following 
      Bishops Transcripts            (1604-1686) 
      Parish Registers: Baptisms  (1686-1836) 
                               Marriages (1686-1837) 
                               Burials      (1678-1836) 
                               Burials      (1836-1863)

Hi Rick

Thanks for that - I've tried her but my email bounced "couldn't find any host named fastinternet.net.au"

I've alerted the organiser of the look up exchange

So back to square 1!

Hi David - I did try and do that look up this morning, but the microfilm reader at Baldock library is broken so I'm afraid I can't help at the moment.
Sorry!

Thanks for trying Richard

Fri 30th update

My ex lives in Letchworth, and as I pay her enough and it's half term this week, she went into Baldock this afternoon to learn all about microfilm readers, and found what I was looking for. I didn't realise Baldock library kept microfilms - that's good to know. Thanks for the heads up Richard

I should have double checked the message board before trying again!

Oh well - you've probably already got all these then - it seems James was previously married to a Sarah, but I went through the Ashwell marriages back to about 1780 or so and couldn't see a marriage.
Regards
Richard.

Thanks very much Richard - my ex, who's never used a microfilm reader nor looked at a parish register, only found the marriage, so the other entries you've found add a lot. Not sure how she missed them as she reckons she was in there for 2 hours, and went through the burials twice!

Glad the Darnell/Darnwells seem to be a different family as I'm trying to prove that the Dumvilles emigrated to Prince Edward Island, Canada before 1805.

I'm very grateful to you for going in again

Regards
