Having bought 2 volumes of the above on CD I have been disappointed to not find any of my ancestors on them. Can I ask if anyone knows whether Richmond, East Sheen and Mortlake would be in another county area in the years of the records pre 1820 please. (I wondered if the boundaries of the county had been moved) Thanks
Di

Mortlake&East Sheen came under Middlesex,,,,,,,maybe the West Middlesex F H Soc and be of help on this one,,they have website,,,


,Fulham Archives also carry lots Parish Registers,,,,,,,,,

Hi Di

Richmond, East Sheen and Mortlake all comes under Surrey,but also look under Ham and Fulham would of been Middlesex.

Thank you for replying. apologies for not replying sooner. When you say Ham and Fulham where exactly. Is it the records office or FHS or where please? I was getting so lost last night looking for this.

Thank you. I have Vol 1 and 3 of the Surrey registers. I am assuming you have something different though as I can't find any Stanfords at all on either discs. I am looking for Richard Stanford marriage to Susannah in Richmond area. She is his 2nd wife. He married Elizabeth Wilson in 1798 Richmond and she must have died as Susannahs will 1837 states the children are her late husbands.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Di

Sorry Di

Ham and Richmond are right next to each other, so maybe some parts of Richmond came under it.

Thanks again

Have you tried searching through the map providers. I normally go through www.streetmap.co.uk. You type in the place, and it shows you the county afterwards. I've encountered a few problems though, like you.

My family are from Kingston, which has been recorded as London, Middlesex and Surrey!

And when I was looking up Barrow-in-Furness, some websites told me it was Lancashire, and others said it was Cumbria. It's a bit hit and miss...

I have a Richard Stanford marrying Ann Everett in Richmond in 13/07/1826.

Says he was Botp and she was Sotp. Otp means of the parish. Not sure was the first letters stand for.

Might be bachelor and spinster. If so, it can't be your Richard.

Hi Di

Could i be really cheeky and ask if you wouldn't mind seeing if a couple of mine are on your disc, i'd be looking in the Coulsdon area

Julie

Portland Rose
Hi and thanks for looking for me. The Richard and Ann are my relatives but it is Richard's father I am looking for. He is Richard too and was b approx 1767 and married Elizabeth and then a Susannah. He had several children with Elizabeth but then she must have died and then he married Susannah..
Thank you for confirming the marriage of Richard and Ann though I do appreciate it.
Di

Julie sorry but only just in from work and read my threads.
Let me have the names and I'll certainly look for you. I'm working again tomorrow so may not respond to you before wednesday afternoon.
Di

Eliose
What a really nice name. Thank you for the tip. I'll try streetmap. I think I've hit the brick wall that everyone mentions. lol
Di

Di...Your a star, and theres no rush.

Im after the births if their on there

Mary Boulton b abt 1743 Coulsden.
Henry Weller b abt 1739 Coulsden.

They marriage abt 1784 which i got off the IGI.

If you find them and i don't get straight back to you im off looking at secondary schools for my son on Weds & Thurs

Julie

Hi Julie
I have checked the 2 CD's Vol 1 and 3 of S & N Genealogy and there are no entries for either Boulton or Weller. On the sleeve of the CD's is a photo of the church at Coulsdon but no info I'm afraid. The CD's do appear to have lots of entries but none for you or I (sods law). It states Surrey parish records on both Cd's but I can't see on the index any parishes other than Richmond!!! This is the parish I want but no Stanford's either.
Di

Hi Di

Thanks for looking, i did laugh thou. Talk about a dangled carrot
