Hi,
My Great Great Grandad, Thomas SCOTT was born in Haddenham c1797, a son to John and Ann SCOTT.
I am hoping that someone will have the church/chapel records of Haddenham for that time  and could check to see if Thomas had any siblings, please. Also a marriage for his parents would be nice.
Thanks

I am trying to find the marriage of a Samuel SAINT to a Jane WEST probably 1830-1837 (just before civil registration!!).
I have the birth certificate for a Thomas Charles SAINT in 1838 which gives his parents as Samuel SAINT and Jane (formerley WEST). He was born in Yeovil, Somerset.
I know that Samuel SAINT was baptised 23 Aug 1801 in Sherborne, Dorset.
I know Thomas Charles (sometimes transcribed as Charles Thomas) had an older sister Mary Ann and a younger brother Samuel.
So I found the family on the 1841 census in Somerset.
They had emigrated to Australia before the 1851 census.
What I would really like to find is a marriage for Samuel SAINT and Jane WEST.
I don't know if Samuel and Jane married in Dorset or Somerset but the 1841 census says all the children were born in Somerset, but Samuel and Jane were born out of county - so I presume Jane was born in Dorset .
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
If a child was born in the Gressenhall Workhouse in 1903, and the mother was unmarried, would there have been any attempt to get money or help from the father of the child?
The mother was living in Bawdeswell in 1901 with her parents and siblings. She married in Brandon, Suffolk in 1903, 5 months after giving birth. I wonder how likely it was that the man she married WAS the father of her child.
Would there have been any court case to get the father to pay up? Or what?
Any help appreciated.

PS I have been in touch with Gressenhall Museum and they reckon that their 1903 records are missing - wouldn't you know it!!

Hi, I am looking for information of Arthur William FINCHAM born 31 March 1895 in Brandon, Suffolk. He was the son of Charles William FINCHAM and Agnes Rose MASON. In 1915 Charles William and his 2nd wife took the younger children to Birmingham BUT  I believe Arthur stayed in Norfolk or Suffolk - In 1901 the family was living in Brandon but in 1908 had moved to West Tofts in Norfolk. Arthur's half sister is still alive aged 95. It would be wonderful to find some of Arthur's descendants.
I have found 3 possible marriages all in Erpingham district, Norfolk  -
1913 to a Miss COOPER
1914 to a Miss SMITH
1915 to a Miss TOWNSEND.
I would be happier to find a marriage in Thetford district or there abouts.
Any help truly appreciated.
Thanks
