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!

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

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.

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?

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

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
