IgorStrav/Royd Joint Scavenger Hunt... Everyone Welcome To Join In

[IgorStrav]

Thanks Alpinecottage for your interest, the help and suggestions from everyone is much appreciated.

We do have SOME birth refs but not all, and we have baptisms for all except Daniel and, I think, without checking back, Elizabeth.  One of the later daughters, anyway.

I had a look in Gale, but some time ago, and would be fascinated to see if there is anything.

Hi all,

I have bee away for a few months and came back to see this thread.

I think that travellers were often missed in official documentation of any kind.

I too have family I have been unable to find anycensus, birth or baptismal records for c1808-1850 apart from marraiges after 1837 and then not births of chhildren until 1850.

If we hadn't found a 70 year old handwritten family tree with dates etc we would be no further forward. We are accepting the data in the tree as correct as everything from 1837 till 1930 when it was written has been verified. So we accept that the inforamtion  before 1837 may well be corect too if not yet verifiable.

Thre is a travellers thread on this site which may be useful. BUt travellers fall into many categories, occupations and areas.

Sorry I can't be of more help, Just keeping my fingers crossed that something will turn up for you.

Hi Igor and Royd,

Have been following the thread with interest and having a look to see if I could find anything to help and upto now didn't have anything new but I have just discovered that 6 miles from Cudham was a place called Chelsfield, 

Not sure if it still is or if it has been swallowed up into Orpington but I thought I would mention it.  Certainly closer in sound to Chelsea

I had a look in Gale, but some time ago, and would be fascinated to see if there is anything.

I was able to have a quick look on Gale this morning, but  the hits were mostly  Sir Richard from Cork....I think we can conclude he isn't yours!
However, if you can wait up to 10 years, there is a plan to put more provincial newspapers online........

Hi Teaurn, thanks for joining in.  I have a feeling we have been down the Chelsfield road before but am always willing to check!  This family is such a pain!!
