Hi Kay & Josie, Yes it was in Luss, Dunbartonshire. they had their first child Catherine in Luss, then moved to Sleat, Isle of Skye. Thanks for "Halftown", that helps me a lot, gives me an idea of the area.
 Any clues on Croitenorras? I'm trying to estabish Lachlans (b. 1792) parents?
regards Vicki

hi all, google chrome installed made no difference what so ever >:(. did a site down check & voila..
"Family Search Website Status History

The above graph displays service status activity for Familysearch.org over the last 10 automatic checks. The blue bar displays the response time, which is better when smaller. If no bar is displayed for a specific time it means that the service was down and the site was offline.

We have tried pinging Family Search website using our server and the website returned the above results. If familysearch.org is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress..."

I'm not the only one, would luv to know what the issue is, so i guess its a waiting game for me.
cheers from oz. vic

ta for the reply, I clicked on both your links...No Luck. Same error message. I have checked that firefox, windows security etc etc hasn't blocked it. I also get the same message from within my family tree 2012 program & explorer. I'm guessing it might be just down.

Technical Help / FamilySearch IGI
« on: Thursday 21 February 13 04:02 GMT (UK)  »
hi there, can any fellow computer savvy genealogists tell me the new address or what has happened to this site because all of a sudden I keep getting "Firefox can't find the server at familysearch.org". I have read several forums and from the gist of things I gather they were upgrading/changing their site, but I didn't expect it to disappear completely. Is it coming back?
cheers from oz, vicki

Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Woburn Baptism Lookup - Ellis
« on: Friday 27 July 12 06:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,
Ray sorry for the typo error. Jack,  Mmmmm looks like I will have to do some deeper digging BUT its not looking so good. I will pursue the name Ellis & all the families at that time for that area. I am about 4 hours in travel (380 k's) to the nearest IGI Library so will tackle the familysearch site again.

As we said, we have William Ellis b1730 in Whitechapel, but mainly from other people's trees and we wonder if there are any alternatives to this. If there aren't, then we can assume this Whitechapel lead is correct
Take other peoples' trees as a guide only. Some trees show William Ellis b 1730 Whitechapel as being the William who baptised children with Ann in Woburn. Others show him as marrying Mary Clark in St Katherine by the Tower in 1749, which looks to me to be much more feasible. So there's a divergence in online trees for a start. David
I did notice this tree/ marriage & did a lot of searching. Hence, my raised eyebrows, confusion & lots of questions as to why our William ended up in Woburn. The interesting fact is that 4 generations later (1850's) the Ellis's which I have cert's of, stayed & lived in & around Shoreditch, Edmonton,Bethnal Green. Thanks all, Jack has this really helped us...NUH but I love the challenge & will keep digging.
cheers from a sunny but cold Oz today, Vicki

Hi all, and i do reply and a big HI & thankyou Jack. Sorry doran54. Ann,  I am flat strap at the moment it is the end of the financial year, audits & tax returns are everyones demand!! also I live in "the outback / bush" in Australia & rely on Satellite broadband. Contrary to our pathetic Government saying that every Australian will have access to national broadband which is an absolute load of @#*!.  Now off me horse & to the matter.
Had a feeling that my marriage info was wrong all along hence the question. I was hoping that someone might have access to the actual bapt. entries as they do not show up on my paid subsciption ancestry.com.site. I ruled out Ann Coxen & the Puddington marriage & baptisms as the Ellis family of my line were from Woburn originally.
My problem I have is,  the James Ellis (5th gr grandfather) ]b. 1760 Woburn is correct, his father William Ellis from ,  ??? St Mary, Whitechapel, London, England b.1730.  I am trying to substantiate this fact as we traced way back in the line from the Ellis's from St Mary, Whitechapel, London, England. I don't completely rely on the ancestry hits that you get from other trees, but they do give you an avenue, a clue to research & substantiate the facts.

Burials in Woburn
26 Dec 1784 Ann Ellis
24 Mar 1790 William Ellis

Needs reference to the parish register for any extra detail, but it looks pretty clear that these are two separate couples.
many thanks Bedfordshire boy. Was wondering if this were possible to look at the above entry & what information it would give. Are there any marriage entries for Woburn around that time? I really appreciate all your help & will endevour to reply faster.
cheers from a cold & windy oz, Vicki
