Hertfordshire / John REYNOLDS - Where do I go from here?
« on: Saturday 13 September 08 22:57 BST (UK) »
Can anyone please help me get anywhere else with my John Reynolds?
I have John Reynolds married Frances Matchet (Matchett or Machet depending on which spelling they are using) 12th November 1804 Saint Michael's, Bishop Stortford. Frances was one of 3 children of Lincoln Matchet and was baptised in Norfolk 9th June 1776. Frances and John have turned up again on baptism records for their son John Lincoln Reynolds and daughter Hannah Maria. Frances again in 1841 in Uxbridge living with John Lincoln and his family but can't find anything about John at all. Don't know how old he was, where he was born or when and where he died. I gather that as Frances was with her son on 1841 that he may have died by then.
Has anyone got any suggestions about where to go next or is it just a dead trail?
Cheers

Hello Wendy
Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you, the Grandchildren descended on us over the weekend and the books that I needed to look in were in the loft of all places.
I will PM you for your email address as I am not sure it I can add a PDF on here or even if I would be breaking the copyright laws if I did as it is scanned pages from a book.
Regards
Tina

Hello Little Mac
I have been looking out of a kitchen window at Mackland's House all morning!
If you would like any photos or any info that I can give you on the area please just ask?
Macklands was an area in Rainham in what is now called Station Road but was originally White Horse Lane. There is a pub, of which I used to be a regular, called The Mackland Arms. Mackland's House used to be privately owned but is now a residential home for the elderly. Bungalows have been built in the grounds and the rest of the orchards etc that surrounded it were sold off in the 1970's for a housing estate. From what I can remember they were orchards of pear trees.
Hope this is of some help

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Lower Halstow
« on: Tuesday 05 February 08 23:31 GMT (UK) »
Just a note to maybe clear the confusion of why Rainham is included in the City Ark project.
Until 1929 Rainham was part of Milton District and therefore under the borough of Swale. Then we became part of Gillingham and therefore Medway. Quite a few of the road names in Rainham had to change as they already existed in Gillingham and as far as I am aware the only duplicate left is the High Street. Although I must admit we have always had a bit of an identity crisis as until the postcode system began most of our post went via Rainham in Essex before it was redirected to us!
Hope this may be of help to someone
Happy hunting

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Lincoln Matchett - Ellingham
« on: Sunday 09 December 07 16:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Does anyone have any info on Lincoln Matchett?
In 1772 he was the miller at Ellingham watermill and he had 3 daughters all born in Norfolk and his wife's name would appear to be Elizabeth. Try as I might I don't seem to be able to find him appearing anywhere else. His daughter Frances married in Bishop Stortford, Herts in 1804.
Did he originate from Norfolk, did he marry in Norfolk, were there any other Matchett's in Ellingham at the same time as him?
Any help would be very much appreciated,
Many thanks
Tina

Hello Caroline
I have recently discovered that my Husband's GGGGGGrandfather was Lincoln Matchett and in 1772 he was the miller at Ellingham Mill in Norfolk. Other than that and that he had 3 daughters all born in Norfok we know nothing about him. Is this a Matchett that you have come across in your research?
