Find Ancestors

Hi Ian. It was very generous of you to offer anyway. Time does slip by so quickly, doesn't it?

Hi Ian Awww dont worry its always the same with me, time goes so fast!

Very sorry but I did not manage to perform any of the searches. As it happens I didn't have time to finish everything I needed to do.

Hello Ian. Hope I haven't missed your visit to the record office. I am trying to find the birth registration of my G/Father. He was born 1891. Name Francis ( or Frank ) George Allen Collins. The 1891 census records him and his parents living at Kemeys St. Hackney. Francis is shown as 3mths, and b: Epping. His parents were Henry George Collins and Jessie Marion Allen. So far I have had no luck finding the record at Hackney. Hope you can help. Very best wishes........... Lyn

Hi Ian Thanks for your offer. If you have time could you please look up a marriage: Giles MEAD to Elizabeth STEBBING in Newport, Essex in 1815 (sorry don't have exact date). I'm trying to determine if this is 'my' Giles who actually originated in Somerset but who served in the army around this time. Thank you. Jenny

Hi Ian Very Generous offer, thank you, I would appreciate it if you could try and find the marriage details of the following:- JAMES GEORGE and REBECCA WARD 12 May 1832 BERDEN, ESSEX I would love to know the Witness names or any other details all the best Carrie

Hi Ian. If you have time for another one, please: Birth record for James Mumford, born 26-Oct-1826. Parents were James and Martha Mumford. The family may have lived in Hatfield Broad Oak. Thank you. (There were two James born around that time - I'm searching for the James born to James and Martha. Thank you.)

I would love it if you could check for this wedding, from a personal submission on the IGI site: JOHN SMOOTHY Spouse: ELIZABETH HARVEY Marriage: 22 DEC 1772 Great Coggeshall, Essex Names of witnesses would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Ian Kind offer - I have one marriage I would like looking up - I know the date I just want to know what other details there are to the marriage. Like if either of them had been married before and names of witnesses etc. The details are Jacob Pilley married Charlotte Horsnell on 16th February 1834 in Chelmsford. I'm not sure what church they married in - I believe they were non-conformists and so on a hunch I would say first search the Congregational, Baddow Road. Then if that doesn't have them up to try St. John the Evangelist. Anglican - which was in Moulsham. If not then try Congregational, London Road or Primitive Methodist, Circuit or Wesleyan Methodist, High Street or Wesleyan Methodist, Springfield Lane or Wesleyan Methodist, Circuit. Fingers crossed it is the first one - I think Jacob was christened in the one on Baddow Road so I think he may have married there - the one in Moulsham I have included as at times the family are living in that area. Thanks so much! Alex

Hi thanks for the offer Im looking for a few if possible, but I know most the dates and parishes, Joseph Vale & Ellen Lawrence parish either St Marys Magdalen or St Giles, Colchester 1852. Also could you have a look for George Lester Vale and Sarah Simons marriage 7 Sept 1845 St Giles, Colchester I want to confirm George's fathers name as John Vale occupation Baker. Daniel Vale marriage to Sarah Ann Rash 16 Jan 1844 St Giles, Colchester, again to see if John Vale occupation Baker is the father. William Vale marriage Sarah Hurn 19 July 1846 St Mary Magdalen, Colchester, again is John Vale occ Baker the father? I understand if you dont get time. Many thanks Keiley

Ian thank you for your offer if you get time, could you look for a birth of a Susan Smith born about 1815 in Wethersfield Essex wondered who her parents were. Thanking you so much Margaret

Ian Am looking for a death of Mary Ann Andrews lived in Chadwell Heath Essex heres the confusing bit. My nan lived with her(her grandmother) until she was 14 which would be 1933 and was with her mum for 2 years when her gran died so we a re looking at approx 1935. I can't find anything on 1837 online but don't know if they have a magic place at the records office for my missing family. I presume her husband would of reg it so would be a STeward Andrews. Any help appreciated Dawnie xx

Hi, I am off to the Essex Records Office sometime next week (from Monday 25th). If you have any simple searches (BMD) I can try to do them for you - first come first attempted. I cannot promise anything though! So if you have a request, reply to this thread. Ian
