Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 7 Send Message	Glad to be of help Missnell. In Jan 2008 when LMA reopens let me know if you want anything else looked up. You can get me by doing a search on Francis Bignell or James Sporle and my name should appear. All the best. Mahala.

Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 136 Send Message	Hello, Thank you so much for your time.Actually the info is really helpful. One of my ancestors was a JOHN BAVERSTOCK B C 1740. I have his son James(myGrandfather x 3) from his birth in1776 bap.St Sepulchre through to his death. Quite by chance some time ago I came across a marriage of a John Bav.to Sarah Dolen in St Mary Hornsey.The reason I wanted you to check was to see if there were any Baverstocks in their church records. My hunch was that it would be Sarah's parish.& so it would appear with no Baverstock families around in Hornsey.From 1776 a year after their marriage, a first child was Bap. in Marylebone St Mary's a further 4 known children were born to a John & Sarah ending with James all of whom were bap in St Sepulchre. Geographicaly it is about right - certainly I have a 'gut' instinct on this but I have been after John for over 6 years so could be wishful thinking! Grandfather James was an Excise man & I was hoping it perhaps may have been a family thing but have drawn a blank on everything I have searched. Thanks again .

Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 7 Send Message	Hello Missnell, I visited LMA today and searched St. Mary, Hornsey, Cranley Gdns. reg. of burials 1736-1812 film X001/114. I could find no Beaverstocks or any variations anywhere from 1736-1766. The register is very faded in parts and pages not all in sequence. Also checked Reg. of marriages, index, film X102/122. This is a typed transcript of the early reg and the only thing even vaguely similar was an entry 9 May 1717 Joseph Burston and Elizabeth Blastock [from ye Boarded River] . by lic. abp. cant. Sorry I can't help further. Mahala.

Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 136 Send Message	Thank you, apparently the LMA is closing for repairs on 2/11. but if you make it either then or later I wish to find out if any BAVERSTOCKS/BEV/BEAV deaths or marriages in St Mary, Hornsey(now borough of Harringay) prior to 1766 (I have a marriage for then,& am pretty sure that was the brides parish) Thank you again.
