Herts Completed Lookup Requests / Allen Index Lookup Request - FARMER
« on: Monday 30 July 07 21:05 BST (UK)  »
hi,

If there is anyone with access to the Allen index please can they look up my Gt,gt,gt,gt,gt grandfather John Farmer born either 1778 or 1790 at flitton with silsoe and he married Ann from Weston in Bedfordshire. I have looked on the family research site but there is nothing for them in Bedfordshire.
I know that by 1807 they had a daughter born at hatfield so I guess they probabley married sometime from 1800 to 1807 . I would like to confirm who their parents were and what Ann`s surname was.

thanks

Jackie

Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / PR Lookup - Flitton with Silsoe - FARMER
« on: Sunday 29 July 07 12:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi.

can anyone please look up the birth and marriage of my gt,gt,gt.gt.gt.grandfather John Farmer born aroun 1783 give or take a few years and married before 1807 when he had a daughter Mary born at Hatfield. I dont know if they married at flitton or if they were married in herts.
I know his wife was called Ann and she came from Weston in Hertfordshire.
I have two possibilities for fathers for john , there is a Robert Farmer or it could be James Farmer.

Any help would be appreciated as I dont have anytime available at the moment to travel to Bedfordshire.

Occupation Interests / Fossil Digger
« on: Saturday 28 July 07 13:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

This is my first time using Roots chatroom. I would like to know if anyone else has an ancestor that was a fossil digger.

On the 1881 census there is:


Joseph Rolls
Age 25
Born Heath and Reach Bedfordshire
Address St Thomas Street Heath and Reach
Married
Occupation Fossil Digger

He is the brother of my great grandfather George Rolls who was married to Emma Foster.

What fossils were discovered in Bedfordshire to need a full  time digger. The rest of the family were agriculture labourers and some of the women worked in the straw plaiting industry.

bye for now
