Hi Simon

Some of Elstree's parish register transcriptions are searchable at www.familysearch.org

To see what is available click here and scroll down to Elstree

look for baptsims and the date range and then put in an 'optional' surname.

I found one entry in 1790.

Whether it's correct is hard to tell as mothers maiden surnames aren't recorded on baptisms unless the child is illegitimate and either no fasther is named or both surnames are shown.

You can also use the link to search more specifically for mariages.

Hi Simon

There's a tutorial here

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,130922.0.html

but you also can't post images on the look-up requests boards to prevent breaches of copyright. Small portions only are allowed for deciphering purposes.

What images are you trying to upload?

Any thoughts, Simon?
There are no baptisms in Elstree to William + Anne Collins
But it does look as though Thomas Collins, born 1782 Enfield to William + Anne, used the Mead name for one of his children.

There is one in 1790

not impossible after 22 years of marriage if they had been having children elsewhere

Hit a brick wall , any help much appreciated
