Hi Lyla thank you for looking for my Eliza Laplind and William Bailey. It was kind of you and much appreciated. Its confirmed Eliza but not sure about William, will have to wait for 1841 to come on Ancestry to know definately. Best wishes Teresa

Elaine 27/10/1793 Thomas was a widower, Ann a widow, both of the parish and married after banns. The witnesses were June Tompson and George Limming. That's all the information you get before 1837. Please note that George Limming was a serial witness of the parish! Barbara 8/12/1839 Married after banns bachelor/spinster, full age, of this parish, address for both 454 Charing Cross.

Hello Lyla, Whenever possible, could you please look up a marriage for me: 8 December 1839 St. Bride's, Fleet Street. Elizabeth Margaret Carver and Richard Exall. I'm hoping she is one of 'mine', so would be grateful for details of father, witnesses and address if they are given. Many thanks Regards Barbara

Lyla, no requests - but Ive missed not seeing you around.

Hello again Lyla, can you please have a look at the birth or baptism rcords for Joseph Daniels b 29-6-1854 and Christened 23-7-1854 and his twin brother Thomas they were christened at St. Leonards Shoreditch their parents were Joseph and Phoebe, I cant find them on BMD and wondered if you can find anything any other information on them to help in my search. Best wishes Michael

Hi Lyla Thats brilliant news! I am sure that is my 3x great grandfather marrying his dead wife's relation, may even be her younger sister. You have also told me his father's name which I never knew. Many thanks Shirley

Hi Shirley Yes he was a widower! Henry, widower, full age, dock officer of Goldsmiths Row, father Thomas Simpson, Tavern Keeper Susannah, spinster, full age of Gloster Street, father Samuel Glover, Jeweller Married by license in presence of George Yarrow and Elizabeth Wrigglesworth (both parish serial witnesses I'm afraid!) Hope this helps Lyla

Please could you check out a marriage for me that took place on 7th Dec 1842 between Henry Simpson and Susannah Glover - St Leonards Shoreditch. The death of Caroline Anne Simpson around the same time. I am hoping that Henry was a widower. Many thanks Shirley

Thanks Lyla, that's brilliant and very much appreciated, All the best and a Happy New Year to you. Regards Michael

All parties signed their own names. Lyla

Danielle, I searched Feb 1858 - Feb 1860 St Andrews Holborn but there were no Daly baptisms at all, Sorry Michael, Sarah Elizabeth was the daughter of William & Emma Goodyear of Somerset Street. He was a (what looked like) cook founder (?) Lyla

Hello Lyla, can you look up birth of Sarah Elizabeth Goodyear Ch, 5-4-1815 St. Botolph without Aldgate please, Best wishes Michael

Hi Lyla Wonder if you get the chance could you lookup the birth/baptism of brothers Daniel Joseph Daly and John Phillip Daly born in the parish of St Andrews Holborn in 1858 -1859 . They are the sons of Daniel Daly and Ellen Crowley. On FreeBMD and 1837 I have not been able to find their births but have determined the approx year of birth from the 1861 census. Much Thanks Danielle

I'm back! Can't spend as much time there as I used to but happy to do quick lookups if you are patient and give me lots of details. Lyla
