Hi All,

Thank you for reading my query.

Do you know if any old headstones from the 1700's still exist (and are readable) at St Mary's in Mistley?
Do you know if these headstones have been transcribed anywhere?
          - Billion graves has 13 headstones relating to military people but not the full graveyard done.
          - findagrave dont have them

I think my 4x great grandparents were buried there, Hannah Dyer buried 1765 and Samuel Francis Dyer buried in 1771. There are not a lot of sources for this couple back then; so exploring the long shot possibility that a gravestone might give any further information.

Thank you for reading

Best wishes

Hi All, thank you for taking an interest in my request.

I am really hoping that someone with easy access to Essex archives or a Essex search subscription, might be extremely kind in looking up a marriage for a brick wall ancestor of mine and this lookup may help me to break down this break wall.

What I am needing is a picture of the original marriage register entry as I am hoping to match the groom's signature with a later marriage to prove this is his first marriage, the transcript can be seen on FindMyPast, ancestry and freereg already but does not show the image.

The groom is Robert Dyer, the marriage was the 26th of Feb 1761 in Tolleshunt D'arcy, the bride was Rebecca Argent, one transcription said the married by Banns but another said by license. I believe they married by license and neither were resident in this parish. Robert later on was a vicar in this parish.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dyer-10389 - His biography for further information - he was an unsual character

Robert also had a daughter named Mary Dyer born in 1762 in Essex, I have never been able to find her baptism on FindMyPast, ancestry, family search, freereg but i hoped one day to also double check Tolleshunt D'arcy from 1759-1763 for her baptism and/or a baptism of an older sibling (as a license marriage at a young age may have meant the couple had a child arrive very soon after the marriage).

Robert's first wife who may have been Rebecca died before 1773 when Robert married his second wife in Suffolk and was described in that marriage as a widow.

Best Wishes, Take Care and thank you for reading

Hi,

Pleae could a kind person undertake a lookup on the 1871 census for

Martha Ann Pigott b. abt 1866 Salthouse, Norfolk

She may have been in Salthouse or in South Shileds during the 1871 census.

There was anotehr sister called Mary Jane Pigott b. abt 1867 who hopefuly would have been in the same household. Could really do with knowing all the details of the household

Kind Regards

Hi,

Thank you for reading my post. I have details of my many times great grandparents marriage which took place on the 18th Jan 1801 between Robert Dyer & Wilhelmina Mary Ann Snow at St George's Hanover Square. However I received this information from a distant cousin many years ago so cannot fully verify this. I was hoping if someone had easy access to this record they could check if the above is correct and if any further information was given such as either of the father's names, but anything would be useful. This line hit a brick wall so many years ago its crazy and as I'm at the opposite side of the country so its been proving very difficult for me to get the Westminster archives.

Kind Regards

Paula

Hi All,

Please could someone advise which were the RC churches in Stockton in 1905?
