Joanne You are quite right, sorry. There is no marriage listed with Sarah Parkes, a few Sarahs but the wrong surname. Sorry Penny

Penny, Thank you for looking up John Abbott. Sorry for the delay in replying as I have been at work all day. I do not think it is my one as they were married between 1866 and 1869. Daughter Ada born 1870 Lambeth. Shirley

Desperately looking for Richard Hurrell b 1825-1829 in Stapleford Abbotts, Essex. Think father may be Samuel. Should be so grateful if you could look for Samuel's marriage probably round 1812-1820 in Essex. Many thanks

Maureen Robert Hannaford - aged 21 when? I need his date of birth please. Any other details would be helpful too. Penny

Brian Only five Alfred Flemings on the CD and none for the right date or place. Sorry. Have you checked the York BMD website? I'll have a look for you and see if there are any possibilities. How's this? Alfred Fleming born 1850 Holbech Leeds HOLB/18B/340 yorkshirebmd.uk.org - it's a brilliant site, in fact a lot of my family came from Holbech. You can print off an order form with all the details on, post it to them and it only costs £7.00. I tried 1849 and 1851 but that was the only Alfred - worth a go! Penny

Penny Thanks muchly ,I'd got that Alfred at Holbeck...it's near to Churwell, but I can't double check if he's the right one..Maybe if I had 1861(age 10) census..it would show his Mum /Dad. Thanks so much 4 your help ,you're a glutton 4 work.LAK Bry

Hi Rosemary Nothing on your Waltons I'm afraid. These are the christening/marriage records from the churches (if you're lucky) so only the bare essentials will be recorded on the disks. I someone strikes lucky further details can be obtained from the church itself. Good luck with your digging & delving, you'll get there in the end! Penny
