hi you did a look up for me which found nothing but if you have time could you please check if there is a marriage for Thomas Bettesworth and Mary 1860 Walberton Sussex and birth for Thomas Bettesworth 1836 for Stoughton sussex. thank you for all your help Maureen

Teresa - if you're realy still up for this would you please have a look for a marriage between Winifred Napp (various spellings Knapp, Nap, even Knaff or Knagg!!!) and William Carter (again has turned up as Carver or Caster!!!) somewhere between 1891 and 1903 either Surrey or Sussex. I'm realy beginning to think they never tied the knot. Many thanks - Sue

To Jennifer and others waiting for look ups please give me a few hours. I am heading to the record centre for a bit. They are only open for two hours today. Lots to look for in that time. I will be back on the hunt for VRI's later

thank you Teresa, is James Moon born Hastings, Sussex around 1825-1828 married Elizabeth Tindall on there 1850's please

Hi Teresa Just wanted to say thank you for the look ups. Nina

Mornin' Teresa Just a quick thankyou for looking up john & mary Blackburn. There's the chance that it might be the first John that you found. Will investigate further !!! Terry

Me Again Teresa!!! Thanks for your info about where to buy the C.D, I certainly will look that up and show Hubbi, nudge, nudge!!! A Million THANKS for sending me all the Elizabeth Harman's listed around 1837 (plus 5 years), you have given me some hope on finding her. Thank You again, for your time, etc......and wish you loads of luck with your own researching. Take Care Teresa. Best Wishes, Dawn.

Hi Dawn I forgot to mention about the BVRI second edition. I got mine from the LDS website at www.familysearch.org/Eng for about $20 US. I am in Canada so this was the easiest way for me. There are 16 cds with 12.3 million records although still not complete for all counties. I have had mine for about 18 months or so. I am hoping they will update it again soon. Teresa

Hi Dawn; I have sent you an email with all the Elizabeth Harmans for a five year period around 1837 Teresa

Hi Teresa, Thank You for your speedy reply. I was hoping for a miricle regarding Alfred Covell & Mary Toogood because their births just do not seem to exsist......but my search shall go on...& on & on, etc!!! You asked about Elizabeth's surname, apartently HARMAN was her maiden name (even though she coindencely married a fellow Harman out in Tasmania, Australia) and BURGOYNE was part of her middle name - it is stated on her marriage certificate too. She was a servant in Oxfordshire, just before leaving England in 1854 and the Shipping List states as her being born in Oxfordshire but her tombstone says she was born in Brighton, Sussex. As you can imagine, trying to find Elizabeth's roots & family back in England, is like sitting on a Merry Go Around..... Teresa, I really do appreciate your interest, time and help.......as I can see that you've been a 'busy bee'......THANK YOU SO MUCH. P.S.......Do you mind if I ask you, where did you buy the 'Vital Records Index' (2nd Edition) from...........Is it the latest edition out, as I am going to do my utmost best, working on my Hubbi, to get me one for Xmas (someone is hoping...!!!!) All the best, from Dawn.

Hi Terence These are the only marriages with a John and Mary for that time frame BLACKBURN, John Wife: Mary NOBLE Marriage Date: 11 Jun 1810 Recorded in: Saddleworth, Yorkshire, England Source: FHL Film Dates: 1795 - 1837 BLACKBURN, John Wife: Mary WILHERSON Marriage Date: 19 Jun 1839 Recorded in: Bossall, Yorkshire, England Husband's Father: Thomas BLACKBURN Wife's Father: Thomas WILHERSON Source: FHL Film 1068316 Dates: 1838 - 1863

Hi Teresa I'm looking for any info on the parents of John Blackburn christened 15.11.1829 in Raskelf Yorkshire. Parents names are John Blackburn & Mary, maiden name unknown. Many Thanks - Terry

Thanks for looking Teresa, but it's highly unlikely that the Worcestershire and Lincs members are anything to do with us. Worth a try though - thanks! Janet

Hi Dawn No Alfred Covell. The only Mary Toogoods are in Lancs, Dorset, Wilts and Hants during that timeframe. Is Elizabeth Harmon the birth or married name? I wasn't sure if Burgoyne was the birth name

Hi Jaqueline. Can you give me a bit more to go by? I have found this Susannah. If this is the right one there are no siblings listed. I don't know which district chorley is in. The only Michael is in 1835 in Blackburn HENRY, Susannah Christening Date:18 Dec 1872 Recorded in:Everton, Lancashire, England Father: James HENRY Mother: Sarah Source: FHL Film 1546007 Dates: 1863 - 1903

Hi Bonnie Jean No Caudrons in the area you asked for . There are 72 listed with various spellings but all are in Timberland, Bourne Hacconby and Martin (near Kirkstead)

Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to look up the elusive Thomas Tanner. Sadly these aren't him...they never are! But many thanks.

Hi Janet No Frasis in the area you want. There are some with spelling variations in Worc and a couple of marriages with different spelling in Lincolnshire
