Just bringing this to the top for possible attention or practice

Although the OP (Jaz) hasn't been on RC for some time it's sad to see this photo seems to have been  missed/ignored.

Looks like a challenge for those who are game or anyone who'd like some practice

A Possibility is that Harvill may have been Haverhill in Suffolk

This place was referred to as Havril or variants in earlier times.

On the top right of the profile page click the button marked Tools, then click second line View Comments.  Correct information, best with sources, can be added.

Can help to point other researchers in the right direction. Also can relieve frustration about poorly researched and oft copied trees!

I use this regularly and have had some wonderful feedback. Some reply by PM, others post another comment. Have also used the Comments section to add extra information about the specific person, place or source docs.

Gosh was the meetup in Ware really that long ago!?  It was a lovely evening.

yep was June 2007

Ware was it?   Wareites Unite (again!)
Oh gosh, amazing how time flies. We had a wonderful time with wonderful people. Would be great to meet again but Covid has ruined that idea for the last few years. Ware there's life there's hope - maybe 2027 ... 20 yr reunion!  ;D

 Under changes by the Qld State Government, plans are now afoot to allow changes to birth certificates

Under the changes, the terms 'mother' and 'father' would be optional and people would be able to switch their gender every 12 months.

They jest - or some very odd bureaucrats in Qld

William Bemant, son of Thomas Vicar was baptized January 29 1675/1676 at Sawbridgeworth

William son of Thomas Bemant vicar was buried January 31 1675/1676 Sawbridgeworth

Elizabeth's bp in 1677 was recorded by a different person, hence the additional info & spelling.

Each page in the parish register is signed by Thomas Bemant Vicar
