England / Re: James Probert b. about 1783
« on: Tuesday 14 May 13 20:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi Hailey

In addition to the National Archives route, which i guess is a non runner for you if you are not in England?
You could try searching the likes of:
www.freereg.org.uk
This is a register of all parish records for all counties in the UK.  I hasten to add that it is far from complete but does cover a fair percentage of the UK.

I did a quick search for James Probert with a +/- 5years of the stated birth year and there are only 2 answers - Both of which occur in Monmouthshire (Part of wales).  Not very scientific i know but it may show that that surname is predominantly found in that part of the UK.
If you have any clues in the rest of his history that he may have come from Wales you have a starting point.

Hope this helps

Hi,
I cannot help with the baptism but found the following marriage in Minchinhampton which is about 4 miles from Rodborough.

Ethelbirtt Wastly & Elizabeth Parchar - 4 May 1691.  This comes from Philimores so no further info.

Hope this helps

Buckinghamshire / Re: Did George and Alice Rogers come from Buckinghamshire?

Hi
According to the entry in Vol 4 of Philimores Marriages for Chalfont St. Giles:

Geo Rogers & Alice Stevens married on 15/02/1777.

Looks about right, i guess as you have the baptism dates you can see if this is too early or too late?

As you probably know, Philimores does not give any other info.

Hope this helps

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Berkshire Chronicle- wwi casualty William Joseph Fells obit

Hi
There is an entry for him in Ancestry in the 'National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations)'  Right name and year.  Unfortunately i do not have an up to date subscription but i am sure someone will look at it and it may say where he was buried.

Hope this helps

Surrey / Re: Frances Lawrence, married in Farnham, Surrey, 1803
« on: Thursday 18 April 13 20:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi
A quick search in FreeReg for her name under baptisms in Farnham does not show any for her herself.  But it does give a couple with teh same name as the mother.  These are in the late 1790s. I guess it could be her from an earlier marriage or even her mother?

The marriage also appears with witness names etc.

Lawrence (with soundex) returns quite a few with that surname in Farnham, so you may be lucky.

Hope this helps

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Re: JOHN FRY born 1807/1810 HEREFORDSHIRE UK
« on: Wednesday 06 March 13 19:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Not exactly sure what info you have or seek.

However a search in FreeReg has the marriage you mention and appears to have at least 4 baptisms soon after.

The search i did was in Somerset, with the fathers name under baptism and the results follow.

Hope this helps a little.

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Samuel FAIRHEAD
« on: Friday 18 January 13 20:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

The baptism of James in the Bedingham registers definitely says Samuel and Ann (No surname)
date is 09 Sept 1781.

I could not find a marriage for him at relevant dates in Bedingham, However he appears as a witness at dates before and after the baptism of James.  It looks like he is at the weddings of his brothers, at least the Grooms are Fairheads.
