Cork / Longfields and Leckys

« on: Thursday 10 September 15 08:22 BST (UK) »

Does anyone know if there were any connections between these two families? I have an Elizabeth Longfield born about 1789 in Cork. A little later in my tree I have a John Lecky born in Cork in 1844 and as I am having difficulty tracing both of them back I wondered if there might be a connection.
Thanks

Suffolk / Dr William Norford of Bury

« on: Tuesday 03 February 15 09:37 GMT (UK) »

Does anyone know the names of the children of this man - I think there may have been 26 of them by two different wives?

I have a brick wall that I've nearly taken down but... I have a woman, Anne said in her obit to be the niece of the doctor. I know her mother's name was Eleanor but whether she was a Norford or married to one I haven't been able to find out.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm trying to find the baptism record for William Bassett (born according to 1841 census about 1777) and the marriage record to Jane unknown in about 1800. Or anything more about the Bassett family. Thanks.

Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Marriage Eaton Socon

I'm trying to find the marriage record for Thomas Burrows and Jane Parker who married on 16 Sep 1807 in Eaton Socon. Trying to find his father has proved impossible and I'm hoping that the record just might help with the names of the witnesses.
Thanks

England / Burrows brick wall

« on: Sunday 30 November 14 08:15 GMT (UK) »

Trying to find out where Thomas Burrows b 1775-1838 and his brother, John b 1769 came from. Both lived and died in London but from the 1841 census, I know that John was not born in Middlesex. Thomas was a wealthy corn factor and a member of the Corn Exchange; John was a major in the army. I have found a lot of information about their lives and descendants, but I just can't find out where they were born. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Marriage at St Mary's Bury St Edmunds

« on: Friday 17 October 14 09:42 BST (UK) »

Has anyone got access to the marriage records of St Mary's? I am trying to find out as many details as possible, including witnesses etc, of the marriage between "Mr William Henry Wayne of Duffield, Derbyshire to Miss Salmon, niece of the late Dr Norford, physician" (Bury & Norwich Post 26 May 1802) which took place on Monday 24th May 1802 and was conducted by the Rev Wm Norford. I am having problems finding out who this Miss Salmon was so I am hoping that perhaps the names of witnesses might help?
Thanks
