 Hello All,
I would like to ask for your help in trying to knock down a brick wall. Having had no luck in the direct approach, i am trying the sdeways attack.
Simon Battle has been found for me in Godmanchester, he appears to be related to Mitten Battle in Blunham ,Bedfordshire in 1820. Mitten is my 2 x great grandfather, but cannot find his parents, or his birth, hence the sideways attack. Both Simon & Mitten are married to Richardson girls, there are sisters Ann & Lucy, daughters of Samuel & Eleanor, who are I'm sure correct. I have the details of the family upto today, but could someone please light the fuse to blow up my brick wall.
All help greatly appreciated,
Best wishes Peter.

Morning All,
    I have 3 families, gleaned from the IGI, that I need to prove, as one cannot be sure on IGI. How, where, does one go.
    The families are William Baker & Mary Knowles married 01/08/1784 at Kingsclere, their family of 6 poss 7 children born Headley & Kingsley.
    The Whitmarsh family of Robert Whitmarsh & Hannah Moody married 19/02/1800 East Wellow, & 6 children, all born at East Wellow.
    The Baker family of Moses Baker & Ann Whitmarsh & 10 children, born at East Wellow & Tuxlith/Milland.
    Any advice as to where to go and approximate cost please, many thanks.

Hello Everyone,
Looking for the parents of my 2xgt gp Elizabeth Gates,
b.07-02-1808 in Holybourne, her parents are what I really need, I have no idea on them. Elizabeth married Thomas Arnold on 28 Apr 1831 at Holybourne. Thomas's parents & G/parents  & Gt G Parents lived in Bentley. but he was born in Holybourne.
If any one could help I would be very grateful, as it is difficult to get to Hampshire from Omagh. Although if I had done F.H. in my earlier days it would have been easy as stationed in Middle Wallop.
Many thanks for the interest in reading my story, and for any help offered
Peter
