Writtle, Essex - Look up please

[Lisa1975]

Hi, i live in Essex and often work in Chelmsford so i might pay a visit to the record office there to confirm

Keep me updated

[queenierud]

That would be great....yes l will....l have a friend that's looking on-line for me too. By the way.....someone contacted me on Genes, who was also from our line....and said that rudyard kipling was connected to the family. Had you heard that?

[Lisa1975]

Hi, I've been told that we are related to Rudyard via his Father John Lockwood Kipling so in my case, it's not a direct link.

I've never really looked into it myself but family have confirmed the link through Genealogists apparently

[queenierud]

Well he's probably right....may not be direct, but still a good talking point!!!  LOl  You more than me, though. Will contact you if l find out anything.

queenierud, - do you have the names of Alfred's children?
My distant relative is looking for the parents of Charles Weston, born 1864, haven't found them but he could be George's grandson. Charles emigrated to Tasmania.

[queenierud]

Hi there. My alfred didn't have any Charles as part of the family.l have the names of all his children.Maybe one of his brothers children?
