Valuation Books Office. Does anyone know if the House Books or Tenure Books are available on line at all?
I have found the Field Books to be a valuable resource as two of my relatives were included in the survey. It would be lovely to know what the Dwelling was like and what the tenure was exactly.
Any ideas welcomed. Many thanks. Valerie

Thank you Forte - that rounds of the picture nicely. I wonder if anyone else went to Canada too? Emigrants usually had a friend or relative as a travelling companion and helpmeet. Being a pioneer in Ontario was quite a challenge.

Thank you Rutland researchers for all your help. :)

Hello Smudwhisk  :) !!
Many thanks for going the extra mile in finding me not just information on Thomas but also his parents. I don't see too well these days and so am especially appreciative of the efforts of others on my behalf. I added to Rosie's reply email a little of what I know about Thomas and his descendants. His children included a William and an Ann which is nice too.
Many, many thanks, Val

Hello Rosie,
Thank you so much for all the Wakefield and Billson information you have posted in response to my enquiry this afternoon. Really fast too!

Thomas married into my McLean family (from Tiree, Argyll) and had another two children with his second wife - also a Catherine. He died in 1875 after contributing to a sturdy Wakefield tree in his hew country of Canada.

Many thanks for all your help.

Rutland / Braunston, Rutland, WAKEFIELD marriage please

Does anyone have access to the parish records that would cover a Braunston marriage? I am searching for an 1834 marriage of Thomas WAKEFIELD to Catherine BILLSON. in 1841 they are living in Braunston but by 1851 are in York Township (now Toronto) in Ontario, Canada with 7 children. Thomas was an Ag Lab!  :)

Catherine may well be the daughter of John and Mary Billston who live nearby. No idea about Thomas Wakefield though.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading, Val
