Dumfriesshire / "Annals of Sanquhar" by Tom Wilson
« on: Saturday 11 June 05 14:41 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone out there who has viewed this book (published circa 1920's)?  Is there anyone who can give me specific information about Tom Wilson's sources.  I have a copy and there is extensive information about my John Barrie family (Robert Barrie etc); however what information has been written cannot be verified.  Would like to know where Wilson got his information.

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Agnes Gardner-Dedham Essex
« on: Tuesday 26 April 05 23:52 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone who can tell me if there are any membership rolls to be viewed of parishoners of St. Mary's Church in Dedham circa 1770's-1780's.  I am trying to find any information out that I can about Agnes Gardner--a spinster who lived in the area during that time period.  She came from a well-to-do family and she was somewhat of a governess for her nephew Robert Barrie who attended school in Dedham.  I have been unable to ascertain a date of death for Agnes in the IGI and I am wondering if there might be something in Colchester at the PRO there.  I live in the USA and coming there to do research is not a possibility for me.  Is there anyone who is familiar with what I am trying to achieve and can give me a little guidance?

Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Agnes Gardner - Dedham Essex
« on: Tuesday 26 April 05 23:44 BST (UK)  »
I am needing some help to try to locate where it was that Agnes Gardner lived when she resided in Dedham, Essex.  She was born in the mid 1700's and remained unmarried all her life.  She acted as a governess or caretaker for her nephew, Robert Barrie, and he attended school there in Dedham in the late 1770's or early 1780's.  I have no information as to the date of death for Agnes Gardner nor the specific name of the house in which she lived during that time period when she cared for her nephew.  I have checked the IGI for info to no avail--I have sent an email to St. Mary's asking if they have records that go back to the 1700's in regard to membership rolls but have never received a reply--Would there be anything like that at Colchester PRO?  I live in the USA so making a trip there would not be an option for me--so whatever ideas that anyone can give me to help me to locate information on Agnes would be greatly appreciated.
