Hi Jan Thanks for all your efforts on my behalf and the info. I would like a copy of the tree if possible but do not know how to find your email address. Mine is [email protected], Iam not sure if this will get to you on this board but worth a go. If not you can get my email address from my Tribal pages web site under Hastings of Hunua. Regards Ken

Hi Mike, Could you look on your census for 41 and 51 and let me have what you see for John Ringrose bn Countesthorpe 1809 Regards Sue.....................also sent you an email for another look up if you are able to find anything for me

Hi Mike, you are an angel, thank you very much........ The Sharps and Dewicks are definatly my lot, but those Grimsleys will be the death of me ! you see i have the birth certificate of my gg grandmother Ada Grimsley, 1873, father given as Joseph Garratt Grimsley, gardener. in 1881 census Ada mother,Mary, nee Hickling ,was a widow and i have never found Joseph anywhere else !! but the Joseph you have looked up was alive and well in 1881 and married a Phillys Lee. oh well, they do like to test us don't they ?? thanks for all your hard work, Jane x

KEN I learnt a lot about the FHS Library today - couldn't find anything in the parish registers (but they haven't got everything). Found Sarah Ann in a 'Birth Briefs Index', married to a John March - the GRO records tie up and they are 7a 294, mar quarter 1887. In the index there is a partial tree from Ethel March, daughter of John and Sarah back to Ethel's great g/parents on both sides. As you'll see there is no definite date for Hannah's death. Also there is a contact name. Go to www.lrfhs.net/interests and look for Timson. the contact no. is WO 216. Email me if you want the image as I took a photocopy. Jan
