Bingo! Thanks Jen for your help - I should have been using 'exact' for years.

Ah, the exact bit was the bit I left out, thanks, I'll give that a go - here's hoping.

I'm still stuck and can't find a 1939 Register entry for James H Chinnick on Ancestry. I've followed previous instructions to the letter, but so far have drawn a blank. If I knew the enumeration district I could look through the records 'til I got it - I tried that trawl on Ancestry yesterday and it was an exercise in frustration, hence my RootsChat post today.

Thanks Andrew for your help - most appreciated - I'll get onto that straight away. I hope I haven't done anything wrong - I could find the entry quickly and easily on FindMyPast and yet on Ancestry it evaded me. I've now found the entry and made a note of the Enumeration District - I've offered a correction for those that may follow. On this occasion the enumerator's handwriting left a bit to be desired. Thanks once again for your help.

The Common Room / 1939 Enumeration District help

Hi - I'm looking for the enumeration district associated in the 1939 Register of England and Wales for 91 Markyate Road - now in Becontree, then in the Barking MB. The entry was in the name of James H Chimmick (really Chinnick) if that helps. I got some details off FindMyPast but as I have reasonable access to most 1939 records through Ancestry I'd like to use it - but I need to find the Enumeration District as I've already searched more records than is healthy! Any help, most appreciated.

Please leave the posts be as there are Perrys et cet. both in Ireland and the USA that may need such information at a later date.

Hi Erin - thanks for the reply. They might well be the same person, though I don't know that for sure. Many thanks, Chris

Hertfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Birth/Marriage Registers - Flaunden/Leverstock Green/Hemel Hempstead - BARNES

Hello Snalbans
Charles was born 1 Aug 1781 and baptised in the now rebuilt church of St. Mary Magdalene, Flaunden on 26 Aug of the same year. He married Francis Hadnut on 4 Dec 1806 in St. Michael's as per Maddie's previous post. He died in the St. Michael's Union Workhouse on 8 Nov 1860. She died in Hemel four years later, having spent a while at the alms houses in Flamstead.
His parents may have been Charles Barnes and Mary Clark, married in St. Mary Magdelene on 16 Jun 1779, though I've nothing to prove that at the moment.
I still don't know the name of John's wife Sophia. She gave birth to their son, Joseph in 1840, but died in 1842. John remarried to Lydia Rickett in Hemel on 8 Jun 1846 and I am descended from their son James.
To the best of my knowledge Joseph married Sarah Kiff on 25 Dec 1835, who died in 1842, leaving two daughters. Joseph then remarried to Mary Ann Palmer in 1842 (though she still appears to have been married to James Millard who died in 1844) and had three sons and four daughters.
If you PM me your descendant relationship to Joseph I can give you more pertinent information.
All the best
Christopher

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Newell's in Christchurch North
« on: Monday 11 June 12 22:41 BST (UK) »
Hello All
I can now clear up some of the confusion, thanks to member kingkerswell.
Nellie Craig married William John Kerr Newell in Larne First Presbyterian Church on 24 Dec 1918. Hence Francis/Frank in Christchurch or elsewhere in NZ was not her husband. When and if they went to NZ remains to be confirmed.
When and if I find out more, I will clarify further. Once again, thanks to all those who helped. I wouldn't doubt that I'll need your kindness and services further!
All the best
