Hi Maddie Sorry, no luck I'm afraid. Most of the records for Tovell/Tovel/Tovil appear to be from Suffolk. Heather.

Hi Heather Cheers, appreciated! I've got a bit of a puzzle really that I'm trying to solve. Ellen Rosa Tovell got married 4th Dec 1856 to Edward Tovell Graves. They have to be related or it's a bizarre coincidence. I'm just struggling a little trying to work out where the Graves family meets the Tovell's prior to their marriage. According to the 61 census, Edward was born 1816 in Barking. I asked for a baptism lookup but was told there are way too many churches in Barking to go through so I'm kinda bamboozled as to where to go next. I need to try and find his parents or a Graves/Tovell marriage somewhere in Essex around that time to give a start point. Maddie

Hi Maddie If you give me a few names I'll have a look. I think the records are in batches from certain churches so it's hit and miss if you find anything. Heather

Can anyone with the discs tell me what coverage is like for Essex please? I'm starting to struggle with finding info now and wondered if it was worth asking for a few lookups. Thanks Maddie
