I deal with the history of Noak Hill near Romford and have a data base of those that lived and worked in the area.
Date periods vary as per family, some go back to 1800, but in general I cover;
Burials at St Thomas' Chapel of Ease at Noak Hill from 1844 to 1920.
Marriages at St Thomas' Chapel of Ease at Noak Hill from 1898 when the church was first granted a license for performing marriage ceremonies which prior to this date were held at St Edward's Romford, St John's Havering atte Bower or at St Peter's South Weald.
Other records that I have and can use are poor rate entries for the Noak Hill area from 1840, School records for the village school from 1878 and certain farm records for the area dating from 1795.
Some of the families on the data base have been researched and have details that cover birth/ education/ marriage/ employment/ military service/ and death and burial details whilst some have only a small amount of detail and have yet to be researched. I can also, at times and where possible, provide a photograph of the burial plot/headstone for those that are buried in the local churchyard.
My own data base that I have compiled is not to be found on any internet site so if anyone is researching rellies that came from the Noak Hill area let me know and I will look to see if I have the name covered.
