Would anyone have access to the actual parish registers for Tansley Holy Trinity? I have a transcription from here http://www.tansleychurch.org.uk/registers/baptismM.html for Gertrude McDonald, daughter of Isaiah and Edith bap 20/10/1897. There is an asterisk after the surname which denotes there is additional information in the register.

Can anyone help with the additional information please?

Cheers

I have a Jane Rawe and Thomas Longridge (bap Newburn 1692 son of Michael) license to marry in 1716, both were of Newburn parish. They had 3 children, William, Michael and George, Thomas died in 1726.

I have checked all the usual sources (familysearch, FindMyPast, ancestry, durham records on line and loads of family trees etc) and there doesn't seem to be a baptism in Newburn, but there is one in Chester - le Street 16 May 1703 father Hugh Rawe.

What I am trying to find is who Jane's mother is, I can't see a record in Durham / Northumberland for a marriage for Hugh Rawe. It seems that Jane was the first child 1703 with a second child Hugh bap in 1705, nothing else after that.

Any help in tracing Hugh's wife most appreciated, I know the early 1700s records can be a bit of a problem and according to durhamrecordsonline marriage registers are missing for Chester le Street from 1678 - 1708 so I suspect there will be no answer somehow.

Hi all

I am looking for the death / burial of Hugh Byrne ( and variant spellings!), he married Elizabeth Dines in 1828, Ipswich and the last known record of him was as landlord of the Waterloo Pub in Colchester 1832/1833. No trace of him after 1837 so presumably he died between 1833 and 1837,  I have looked through familysearch, freereg, FindMyPast and Ancestry and nothing there.

I think I can see his widow Elizabeth on the 1851 census in Colchester Holy Trinity so presumably they stayed in Colchester . She is found in the 1861 census in Colchester but shown as Barnes, subsequent death in 1867, burial St Giles.

Can anyone help please?

Hi everyone

I have parents John Watson a farmer and Mary Hinks, married 28 May 1823 Ansley with the following children

Louisa 1825 bap Ansley
William 1828 bap Ansley
John 1831 bap Ansley
Thomas Houlding 1835 bap Walsgrave on Sowe
Eleanor 1846 bap Walsgrave on Sowe

All the above are mentioned in their father's will dated 1856 but another daughter Jane is also mentioned. Jane married a Charles Henry Parsons 13 June 1850 in Walsgrave on Sowe and it says of full age. Census records show

1851 b 1823 Birmingham
1861 b 1826 Sowe
1871 b 1824 Ansley


Ancestry and freereg have transcriptions for both Ansley and Walsgrave and Jane isn't there. Nothing on familysearch.org, findmypast or the OPC for Warwickshire either.

Can anyone help to find her baptism?

I am trying to find Adam Morris who doesn't appear on the 1841 census. He married Ann(e) ? presumably in Brighton c1802 & baptised the following children in St Nicholas, Ann 1804,  Rebecca 1810, John 1806 , Martha 1818, William 1803 & George 1815. He was shown as father on Martha's marriage in Brighton 1838 (doesn't actually say deceased so he may / may not be alive then).

If anyone has access to Brighton St Nicholas PRs I would a appreciate a burial look up please, presumably prior to civil registration as I can't find a death for him either before 1841. I have tried FindMyPast, ancestry & familysearch without success.
