Find Ancestors

Christine - re Shergold I've checked in Wymondley (Much & Little) but no sign of them there. Hitchin is a 200 pager, so I'll go through it a bit at a time. Bear with me and keep checking back. Thanks for the suggestion of Arkley - but I can't find that either. It's hard as I can only search for the parish and some of these villages seem to be incorporated into the parish but are not mentioned in the searchable index. I only stumbled across London Colney by chance for example when looking in Shenley. Karen

Thanks for your continued efforts. Have now found that Sarah Shergold was married to Paul Weston Shergold born in Wiltshire 1809. He was a farmer in 1861 Strange thing is that IGI has an entry for c8 Shergolds christened in Hitchin (St Marys) in latter part of 1780/90s. But no sign of them! (Arkley - Barnet, Borehamwood)

Christine - I'll see if I can find St Mary part of Hitchin as a starting poing, might be there, you never know! Looked up Ardeley and found it is also known as Yardeley. The Yardley I have on CD is in the same group of parishes so I think that is it - why do they give it two names - grrr! Karen

He was living with - David Cook, 25, farmer Sarah, 25 Mary, 30 Elizabeth, 15 William, 5 Mary, 60, Ind Eliza Taylor, Ind Eliza Ancook, 30 Joseph Hills, 25, Ag Lab George Clinton, 20, Ag Lab George Gubb, 10, Ag Lab Karen

hi karen re anthony surname, many thanks for looking, please could you look at colney chapel and broad colney, i,d really appreciate your help marcie x

Marcie They are not there either. If I get a chance I'll check the whole of Shenley rather than just the Colney bits in case they shifted a little! Karen

Thank you Karen and Christine for all your help locating my family in Ardeley/Yardley or whatever its known as! lol xx

Hi Do you have the 1841 census for Hertfordshire? I am looking for Kibbles and Haynes in Rickmansworth. Perticularly Thomas and Harriett Kibbles, with children Thanks for any help Caroline

Hi Karen Thank you very much for looking and finding the Rymill's for me. As they were at the same address 1841/1861/1871, they must have been there in 1851 too. (well....odds are looking good for it) (This family deserve a prize for staying in the same place for 40 years...unlike my others! Thanks again Sarah

Karen

Marcie I have checked the rest of Shenley and no Anthony's there. Guess they must have gone on holiday to Mars afterall ! Karen

Teresa I've had a look at Hoddesdon which is split between Great Anwell & Broxburne so checked all of those. Nothing so far. I will check Cheshunt this is a huge parish so keep checking back as it may take a while as I'm away this weekend, but will hopefully get a chance to look before I go. Karen

hi karen many thanks for looking, much appreciated, marcie x

Janet So sorry - I missed out the most important bit! Should have typed - Maryann Turner, 36, not born in county (word widow is crossed out) Thos Turner, 14, not born in county GEORGE, 10, not born in county Eliza, 1, born in county How frustrating that must have been for you - but I hope this is him found now. Karen

Thankyou for the Kibbles and Haynes info, and the reminder! I couldn't find the thread! Definately interesting infor on Haynes family didn't knowthey had any more children after Daniel Caroline

Hi i am looking for Carters in Hertfordshire, not sure what part. I am looking for Henry Carter born about 1800 had a son Named John Carter in 1832 hope you can help Thanks Lynn

Lynn - I'm sorry but the 1841 is not indexed so I have to look at each individual page, therefore I need a parish to narrow down the search - it would take me years to look at the whole of Hertfordshire! Jill - I will have a look for you, but the 1841 does not give place of birth, just whether they were born in the county or if they were born in foreign parts.

Sorry - been away so not got to this for a while. Will hopefully be back on track in the next couple of days. Karen
