New to site..Surname Interests
« on: Thursday 18 October 07 17:01 BST (UK) »
Hello
I've just found this very interesting whilst "googling" on the web. I'm hoping it will be a fresh source of info. for me and I also hope that I'll be able to help plenty of you. My husband calls our spare room the Essex Record Office Dorset branch! I've got plenty of parish records on fiche that I've gradually bought from the ERO over the years, so I shall look out for requests that I may be able to help with.  ;)

I've got too many surname interests to list, but here are my main lines;

Clark, Chambers, Tarran, Thorogood, Outten, Fuller, Milbank, Attridge, Perry, North, Marshall, Clements, Woollard, Swan, Hawkes, Bell, Clift.

Best Wishes.  :)

Thanks for the speedy welcome!

Also, thanks Pauline for pointing out the surname interests thread. I'll post my names on there.

Well, my branches cover quite large chunks of Essex. I suppose my main parishes are in  the Southern part of the county, including Chelmsford  but I also spread up and around Dunmow, Little Hallingbury, White Notley and Great Yeldham.

Apart from a Welsh branch, all my roots are in Essex and London.

Finally, yes, I've been doing my family tree for about 10 years now and it is VERY addictive.  ::)
