Can't thank you enough Ciderdrinker. No idea where you obtained that wealth of information but I'm extremely grateful for it because it, especially the connection to Droxford, proves beyond doubt that the families were related. Now to update my family tree.

Thanks again,

Keith

Hi Valerie,

Finally found a way into your PM. Don't know what's going on with messages but they're certainly not working properly at this end so can't send a direct reply.
Thanks for what you sent me. The living person you mention is actually my cousin.

Regards,

Keith

Thanks Bearnan, the Richard buried in 1866 is my gt grandfather, born 1803. He married Catherine (Keturah) Burgess. Suddenly we noticed the births of Linford children with the middle name Burgess but they couldn't be from our couple since the dates were, in at least one case, just 3 months away from the birth of my grandfather. My aim in this instance is to try to determine whether the other Richard or his wife Hannah were related to either our Richard or his wife Catherine.

Rootschat is telling me that I have a new PM but won't let me see it. Please will the person who has kindly sent it reply here.

Please can anyone provide any information on the above? Everything I currently believe is speculative.
He appears to have married Hannah Burgess(born c,1809) The 1841 census shows what I believe to be them living in Nelson St., Birmingham with a few kids all of whom have disappeared by 1861 when they seem to have been living in Barr St., Hockley with children as follows: Albert (1844), James (1846), Jesse (1850), George (1850), Charles (1854) and David (1859). After that I can find no further reference.
If my information is correct Richard is a policeman in 1841 but got done for larceny at some later date.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Keith

It's sickmaking. We are about to lose the last farmhouse in the area. It had beeen used as a police station ever since I've known it but the police have now decided to share the local fire station. At least I was invited in to take a number of photographs before it disappears. The area will, of course, be turned over to flats. Ugh!

I'm afraid the loss of historically significant buildings is something of a bee in my bonnet. Even in these days of supposed enlightenment the bulldozers still seem able to wreak havoc.

Sadly The Haven was demolished some years ago and replaced by a care home.

My apologies to Bookbox where I have thanked Woodbook. Sorry.

May I ask as to where I might seek a possible Will for a Nicholas Tomkins of Tysoe, who died 7 Dec 1642. A relative believes that she may have seen something a number of years ago, with a Worcestershire placement of the Will.
