Hi Ann Thank you very much for the offer. Hopefully your records go up this far, as I would love you to look something up for me. I know that William ALDRIDGE married Sarah WARNER on 14 August 1812 in Walkern. I was wondering if there are any parents names or professions mentioned, or if it states whether they are of this parish or from elsewhere. Thank you so much Lisa xx

Hello Lisa,William came from Watton and Sarah was from Walkern.Also there was a Ann Warner married a William Clark on the 10th Nov 1811.Hope this helps and if you want me to go back further under these 2 parishes with these names let me know.Regards Ann

Hi Ann Thank you so much for that. I didn't know William Aldridge was from Watton, I have it that he was born in Graveley! Maybe they moved there after. I do have him living there on the 1861 census though. Ann Warner is one of mine also. Yes indeed, any info you can find about these two names in these parishes would be absolutely great, although there are an awful lot of Warners in Walkern! I have two branches of them in my tree, and all from Walkern. Could I ask you to look up any Aldridge marriages in Graveley too if there are any. (If it is not too much!) Thank you so much Lisa xx

Lisa.In Graveley we have Rose Aldridge and William Chaukley married 2nd March 1772.There were none before that.Then we have Elizabeth Aldridge married William Carter on the 26th Dec 1808 then a Thomas Aldridge married a Phobe Wharf on the 23rd Sept 1811.I will look up the other parishes for Warner as well and get back to you on them Regards Ann

Thank you Ann You're a star! I will wait in anticipation, can't thank you enough, brilliant. Lisa xx

Hi Ann Could you have a look if there is any marriages for the name KENT in Sheppall in the mid to late 1700s Many thanks Lyla

Geoff,As i have no specific area to go on it will take me longer.I have been through vol 1 but no Woodleys there.I have to go out for a couple of hours and i will carry on looking when i get back.Ann

Lyla,Found Ann Mary Kent married a John Carter on the 12th Oct 1778 in Shephall Ann

Lisa,found Thomas Aldridge of Chesham married a Mary Stone of Albury on 11th Sept 1749 and Elizabeth Aldridge married Edward Skeppe 28th Oct 1613 in Barley. Ann

Thank you Ann I am extremely grateful for this Lisa xx

Thanks Ann. I'm pretty sure she must fit in with my family somehow. Lyla

Lyla,Looking through Watton registers last night and found as follows John Kent and Katheren Warren married 28th May 1610 then Willyam Westwood Ellyzabeth Kent married 21st Oct 1616 and then again Roger Lowin and Margaret Kent married 19th May 1617.Jumps to what looks like the next generation Christopher Grimes and Elizabeth Kent 7th Nov 1631 then John Hummerstone and Sisley Kent 19th Nov 1635.Also have four different marriages on Hummerstone in the same villiage if you are interested.Hope this helps Ann

Thanks Ann. I have only got back as far as a marriage in Weston in 1794 of a William Kent of Sheppall to an Ann Tyler so I was hoping the other Sheppall marriages would give me some clues as I can't find a birth of a William Kent in Sheppall. I see that Watton is not that far away from Sheppall so I'm sure they will all connect when I get back a bit further. Thanks very much I will file them away for future reference. Lyla

Thank you Ann very much That is really great, you are a star! Oooooh, I knew there'd be a lot. Brilliant Lisa xx

Hi Ann I would be intereste in any Rainbirds married in Gilston if possible, if there are too many please dont worry, as I am not sure which of mine are in Gilston at this time or in Hundson/Ware. With thanks Danielle

Danielle,Sorry no Rainbirds married in Gilston but my records only go up to 1812 might be later. Ann

Hi Ann If there is any mention of a James WARD marrying a Mary _____ in Hertford - possibly Berkhampstead - I'd be grateful - this would be early 1800s. I'm also after John WAREHAM and Susan(nah) __________ - possible Bengeo - but I'm not sure of place - about 1790 - I think their first child was born 1791 and I'm hoping they were one of the more respectable couples in my history and married a year or so BEFORE he was born! Please don't spend hours looking - especially Ward as it's a common enough name! Fingers crossed. Jill

Jill,Have not found a James Ward and Mary in Berkhamstead.I have found 13 other Ward marriages there if you want them.I will carry on looking through the other parishes and if i find them i will let you know.Have not done a John Wareham yet but will look later today.Got a little baby grandaughter this morning so i have been busy childminding the other one.Ann
