Find Ancestors

.

Please put requests on this thread and not by private email. This is because it is easier to keep track of my progress if all requests are on the thread in order. Feel free to email with queries etc on the look up - but put the main info here. I need the name and the parish. The CD is not indexed so for larger parishes it can take me a while, so please be patient. If you can give as much info on the family group as possible to help identify them, ie siblings, occupations etc. that would be good. If I find any other families with the same surname during the search I can let you have them too. Karen

hi karen could you see if you could find any HARROWELL families in tring for me please? susie

Hi Karen If possible, could you kindly look up ALDRIDGE families in Walkern. Thank you so much Lisa xx

Hi Susie I think I have already looked for your Harrowell in Tring/North Church and found one family in Tring. If you don't have the info let me know and I'll dig it out. If I'm wrong and haven't looked in these places - tell me so! Karen

Thanks for offer Karen I'm looking for Shergold in Ippolitts/Hitchin, wife Sarah born 1811 Wymondly ( a widow in 1871, can't see her in 1861) In 1871 Sarah was independant on a farm also William and Eliza Shergold in Broxbourne. He was born 1803, Wiltshire. Another ag lab (not knocking them, salt of the earth, etc) Eliza 1807, Middlesex. Any others would be great. Thanks in anticipation Christine

hi karen yes,youre right lol its my mistake,i'll blame my age lol thankyou anyway susie

Lisa - re ALDRIDGE I found the following. The addresses are a bit hard to understand. For example at the top of the page it says Water Mill and then nearer the bottom next to Aldridge it says 'Street'. The word Street is repeated on its own later so it may be an area such as when it says 'Common', the same applies to where is says 'Lane'. Street - (Water Mill) Edward Aldridge, 35, Ag Lab Sarah, 35 Henry, 9 Mary Ann, 7 John, 3 Thomas, 3 Phebe, 1 Street - (Totts Lane) William Aldridge, 23, Ag Lab Elizabeth, 23 Sarah, 2 David, 1 Lane - James Aldrige, 25, Ag Lab Sarah, 20 Hannah, 4 Sarah, 3 Eliza, 1 Frog Lane - Eliza Aldridge, 20 (Looks like she was living with - Joseph Clinton, 40; Fanny, 40; Joseph, 12; Emma, 10; John, 3) Frog Lane - Mary Aldridge, 16 (Looks like she was living with - David Stainer(sp?), 28; Hannah, 30; Sarah, 33; David, 12; Joseph, 10; Daniel, 7) Hope the above is of some help. Karen

Christine - re SHERGOLD I'm sorry but I can't find any Shergold's in either Ippollitts or Broxburne. If you think they could be in another parish let me know and I'll look again. Karen

Susie - not to worry, lol - Karen

Thanks for looking. They weren't in Hitchin or Wymondly by any chance? No idea about the ones in Broxbourne - he was a shepherd. Shergolds seem to originate in Wiltshire and move to Hertfordshire, one by one.

hi karen many thanks for the offer, i,m looking the surname anthony in london colney, shenley, or colney st peters many thanks marcie

Hi Karen Thank you very much indeed for that information, I got such a lot from it, including two new families, and I have connected two branches of this family together now. Wonderful! Thanks again Lisa xx

Hi again Karen By the way, David 'Stainer' was actually David Warner Everything fits in nicely! Thank you once again Lisa xx

Hi Karen Would you please look up for me:- James Rymill - aged around 41 Maria Rymill - aged around 36 William Rymill - aged around 3 In the 1861/71 census they were living at - Old Tan Yard, Watford, Ecc District St Mary. With many thanks Sarah

Hello Thank you for your offer. Could you please look for the Oakley family in Ardeley, Herts. My G G G Grandfather was Daniel Oakley born 1840 or 1841 so may or may not be on there. But his parents were William and Mary and i think he had a brother called George. thank you x

Natalie I can't find a parish of Ardeley. Closest is Yardley. Can you confirm, is it perhaps a village within a parish? Karen

Being a Hertfordshire girl, could Ardeley be Arkley?

Marcie - re ANTHONY London Colney is a small village within the Shenley Parish. I found only the following - Sarah Anthony, 70, Ind, not born in county living with Wm Stokes, 35, Ag Lab, born in county and James Stokes, 20, Ag Lab, born in county I haven't come across Colney St Peter, just Broad Colney and Colney Chapel in the Shenley Parish. Karen

Sarah - re RYMILL Great that you gave me the address of later census, I checked there first and found them! - saved me going through more than 250 pages, what luck. Think there may be an extra one .... James Rymill, 40, Ag Lab, not born in county Maria, 35, born in county Henry, 6, born in county William, 2, born in county Karen
