I am trying to pin down my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather Samuel Baldwin.
From Census records he seems to have been born in Rickmansworth about 1810 and his wife Lydia around 1815. I have a possible marriage for them in Harefield, Middx in 1834 where Lydia's maiden name is Waller.
All this is IGI data or Census indicated Data and as they both come from Mill End, Rickmansworth I am not sure if the Marriage I have found is correct.
Any help or advice anyone can provide would be very gratefully received.
Alan

Hi Alan
Harefield is quite close to Rickmansworth so I wouldn't rule the marriage out just on geography. It is perfectly feasible that they may have worked and married outside of their parish of settlement.
It might be worth checking Settlement Certificates for them at Harefield. These would be held at the Hillingdon Archives.

I will check the Herts Settlement Certs for you tomorrow just in case they are mentioned there.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for your comment. Romilly said it was quite close and she is going to get some info if she can when she is next over there.
Thank you also for the site addy I love local resource information sources. Do not think they will have settlement details in Harefield as the family was resident in Mill End Rickmansworth for some time afterwards. My Gt Grandfather was the first to move out, and my Mother remembers going to visit one of my fathers Uncles when he was a Lock Keeper on the Grand Union Canal. No clue on his name though but should be one of my grandfathers Brothers.
Once again Thank you for your help and interest
Alan

Hi Alan,
It looks like your ancestor's would have married at St Peter's C/E Church, Berry Lane, Rickmansworth, Herts, WD3; which is the Parish Church for Mill End, Rickmansworth, Herts.
I'm not sure if the Parish Records from there are available on-line or not, but you could check at:
http://www.parishregister.co.uk/
If you would like to see a panoramic view of Stocker's Lock, where one of your relatives was a Lock-keeper, - one is available at:

Romilly.

Hi Romilly
Sorry have not replied before as have only just recently returned home from hospital. Thank you for your kind support that you expressed on Prophetess' posting, all those good wishes from the wonderful people on here sure sure did help speed my recovery.
Thank you so much for the site for Stocker's lock, my mother used to tell me stories of how she and my Dad went visiting my Dads Uncle there and to see it is great. Not that I know which one or when to this day but that is the fun of this obsession of ours isn't it.
Thanks you again
Alan
