Essex / Re: Surname Enfield (Colchester Essex)

You have contacted me on several occasions using your different names and each time I have pointed out to you where your errors lie......therefore don't be surprised that I mention it on a public forum where you asked the same question again.

I am 99.999% correct with what I know, because when I first started research on the Enfield family, I was provided with documentation that someone else had obtained while they were researching their link to the family......When we studied the information we quickly identified a family tree by the 'current' John Enfield wasn't quite correct.

...and at the same time, unbeknown to me, another family member on the Enfield side was going down the same road as me, but they were obtaining their information from a completely different source as well, albeit it confirmed what I had discovered.

I have advised clairelouise of this in a detailed fashion, but she seems to choose to ignore it.

Well, there is only one dip in the London Road at Stanway, which is just before the border with Copford (where the Swan Pub is)........I lived on the opposite side of the road to the Pub in the dip which also includes the junction with Turkey Cock Lane........

The house I had faced the London Road, whereas her house adjoined behind mine, so hers faced Turkey Cock Lane.

My grandparents (father's side) are buried in Stanway Churchyard and they owned Brewers Cottage in Copford many years ago.

I am also looking for a Mary Swale / s from York.....apart from a daughter Harriet born 1827 and a son Frederick born 1823; I can find nothing more about her other than perhaps a grave record.

If anyone spots a connection please let me know.

My mother was an Enfield directly related to the people that clairelouise refers to.......I am fully aware there are some anomalies in the information which she has provided and I have attempted in the past to correct them for her.....Basically she has been given incorrect information by John Enfield.

This was uncovered several years ago by another party also researching Enfield and I was provided with information that indicated the original error and how it should be corrected.

It is too protracted to go into in a simple way, but it isn't a mystery or anything like that.

It is correct that John W Enfield was married to Emily Davey.......JW was my great grandfather's brother.

I found this thread quite interesting........In the late 70's into the early 80's I did up an old house at London Road, Stanway (It would have been Stane Street years ago).

Almost on the border of Stanway / Copford. (Not Cosford which is in Shropshire)

In the adjoining property there was an old lady who lived on her own in dreadful surroundings.

She talked to herself, talked to her cat, talked to aeroplanes overhead and also fed a rat (or several) that lived under the large cooking range........Her surname was Ramplin (or Ramplen).

I met her son once, but I cannot recall where he lived.....Clacton possibly.

I reckon she would have been about 80 - 90 years old when she died in approximately 1979 -1980.

Yep....The soldier thing continued.....J A W is the grandfather and F W W is the great uncle of my father in law who was also a soldier and so was his father who was named exactly after his uncle F W W......I haven't established if F W W was also a soldier.

I have J A W as a Galvanizer in 1928 and on another census, I think I have him as a wireworker.

The 1861 Census gives a Lewis John Woods born 1860 Heigham, so you can see why I think the 'Lewis' may have been dropped. Father given as John R Woods and Mother Sophia.

I hope the marriage certificate of John and Margaret does actually give John's father's name, given that it appears he was dead by the time of the marriage........

I have just had a rather lot of fun (joke) with another bit of research where a son has given his deceased father's name which we know to be completely incorrect.

Thanks AL
