Find Ancestors

Good luck Phyll - let us know if you find anything.

Boringly Iden seems a place name in Sussex , but like David Beckams child Brooklyn, perhaps thats where it all started !

My grateful thanks to all of you with this one. The person who has Zelinda in their tree knows no more than I do unfortunately. They are such uncommon names you would think you could find them but it's not to be.
I might take a trip to Rotherfield and see if I can find anything more.
Phyll

There are a few trees on Ancestry with Iden in them, but again no surname for Harriett unfortunately.
Jan

Don't know about the others but I am stumped. How frustrating with such great names to search for!
There is someone on here with Zelinda in her tree, have you tried contacting her?
Jan

Thanks again, Brummiejan.

It is Iden by the looks of things!

Thanks Brummiejan, will try that.
Regarding Philliman, I have found a death for a Philemon T. Pavey in 1927 in Kent, age stated as 85. By my reckoning that makes him born 1842 and we have him down as 1843 soooooooooo maybe that's him. He died in Kent.

Maybe Iden is Dan??

What about the meaning of Iden? please.
Phyll

Biblical I guess !


The Epistle of Paul to Philemon, usually referred to simply as Philemon, is a prison letter to Philemon from Paul of Tarsus. Philemon was a leader in the Colossian church


, and the meaning of Salinda is "heaven; the moon [ she married J Budd 1869]

still cant find them !

Likewise with the names. Can't find them on IGI or FMP or An*****y. What sort of name is Philliman anyway.

Mind you, I am struggling to find birth entries for them - with these distinctive names they should be relatively easy. I wonder if they were registered?
Jan

Thank you both for advice. This is the right family.Will send for birth cert at sometime in the future. Must be going mad as I didn't think about sending for a child's cert. Guess this family tree business is sending me loopy.
Many thanks

sadly you may have to buy a younger childs birth cert to find her maiden name.

Maybe you could get birth cert for a child? I assume this is them>

Trying to find marriage for a John Pavey to Harriet ? , possibly in Rotherfield, Sussex. first child born abt. 1835 in Rotherfield.
I have tried Jen in Yorkshire who used to have Sussex Marriages but the message hasn't been opened so I presume she is off here now so can anyone help please? Very many thanks to all you good people.
