Does anyone know where I can access records for St Mary's Magdeline, Richmond please. I need to view pre-1767 and have written to the reverend who is there now and he is unable to help. I have hit a brick wall with the family name of Stanford and don't know where to look now. I have tried Hugh Wallis site but doesn't have early records.
Thanks Di

Stanford (Richmond -Surrey & Buckinghamshire) Pill (Berkshire / Wilts) Longstaff (Co Durham) Crawley (Hertfordshire)

I checked the BVRI discs and they have coverage of Richmond but not starting until 1839, so that's no help.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Yes - the Richmond Local Studies Centre is brilliant.

Contact: Jane Baxter, Local Studies Librarian

Hang on... is that you, Faith, under another name? I work almost opposite St Marys so I could take a picture of a grave if you like.

And Hi Margaret! How are things in Canada?

Hi Paul
Yes it's me. I tried to sneak on without you looking. LOL. I am looking for details of the parents of Richard b1767. You have been so kind as to take photo's and do searches for me in the past. I am at the brick wall as I don't know whether the family moved to Richmond from Kent or whether they were in the Richmond area pre 1750's. I get confused between the local studies centres and the record offices.
I have tried Jane Baxter before but she wasn't able to help either.
Margaret thank you for looking too.

Hi, Paul, was just thinking of you this morning when some new records came my way, so looked for Tilton/Stewart. Nothing, nada. However, if you'd like some snow, I could send you a ton!
