I have his marriage in Thorrington but no bapt. 1767 is accurate as I have checked against census and burial record. I have tried Gt and Little Bentley near by but nothing there. I wondered if anyone had other suggestions really. Thanks for reading

Julie,

Have you tried SEAX.............there is a will on there dated 1845 ? for a Zachariah Childs.

Julie

Julie Report 18 May 2011 16:23

Ive tried Seax for Baptisms, I will have a look for the will if its on line, it would be good.

Thanks for the tip

Maddie Report 18 May 2011 16:24

sadly essex parish records on line are lacking

Julie

Julie Report 18 May 2011 16:28

I tried Seax, it told me no records found!! What am I doing wrong?

Julie,

If the will is relevant you will be able to send for a copy. As Maddie says Essex parish records are a little lacking in research available on line.

However there is a researcher that may be able to help if all else fails.

Am unable to recall his mail address, but if you google... Peter Nutt Essex genealogy he should pop up!

EDIT..........he did some searching for me a couple of years ago and only charged me £3.00!!!!
