[suey]

Hi Jan, thank you so much.  I certainly wasn't expecting all that info ........

It just shows the importance of getting a look at the PR's. when you can. It really does help to make the family 'real'.
Thanks again
Suey.

Glad the extra info was useful

Yes it really does flesh a family out looking at the parish registers - they can tell quite a story. I/you struck lucky with Bolney as there was an ancient falling apart indexed  transcript from which I was able to pick up some extra events that I'd missed on the fiche.

Hi Crystal

I couldn't find a baptism for Harriet Teesdale c 1811 in Broadwater, have yet to check Worthing for you, but this burial would fit with her being the one baptised 1804

Broadwater Burial
Dec 29 1856 Harriett Teesdale of Worthing age 53 yrs

Jan

Thank you very much for the information Jan  - there is just a small chance she was baptised in Chalton/Rowlands Castle (Just in Hampshire I think)

regards
Crystal

Hi Janan,
           Thanks for your kind offer. It would be great if you could do a couple of look-ups for me.... sorry if thats being greedy!
    Firstly, a marriage for a Job Elliott to an Elizabeth Saunders 20th November 1838 in Boxgrove parish, and then a marriage for an Elizabeth Elliott to a James Wells in Singleton Parish this was in the March Qtr of 1892[ not sure what month]
   This lady was my Gt Gt Grandmother and my biggest brickwall of my research, so any info on her would be marvellous.
                 Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Janan:

A most kind offer and I wonder if you might have time to explore the Lodsworth PR for a baptism of a Richard Yaldwyn/Yaldwin born around 1678 (+/- 1 yr)?  His mother may have been called "Jane".  He was reputedly from Blackdown/Lurgashall and I believe Lodsworth is the correct parish though I'm not familiar with the West Sussex parishes... so, if I've made an obvious error please just let me know and I'll re-think  .

Thanks!

Rachel

Hi Rachel

Lurgashall is a parish in its own right so I will check that first, then Lodsworth if can't see him. Bear in mind that if I don't find him it doesn't mean he isn't there (particularly if no transcripts available) as the earlier general registers can be difficult to read

the earlier general registers can be difficult to read

Jan: Don't I know it  that's one reason I appreciate this offer so much!
