Are you able to look up the details of this marriage for me, please? Elizabeth FINCH and Samuel COE, 12 April 1808 Little Yeldham, Essex. PLEEEEEASE help! Chloe

Hi Shirley, Thanks for your response- didnt expect it so quickly Sylvie b

Shirley you're a sweetheart, That's so nice of you to offer. If you can-I know you have lots of responses- can you see if there is a marriage for Louise GARNHAM and John Peter OLSSON in 1901-1903. Or a baptism for Carl OLSSON born March 1903. They were in Canning Town West Ham.Parents as above Thanks again, it would erase so many headaches... Warmest regards, Gail

Shirley - I doubt if you will have the time for this, but just hoping... I am trying to track down some information about my g-g-g-grandparents, John HORNER and his second wife Elizabeth. I know that John married his first wife, Charlotte Sweatman, on the 29th September 1778 at St. Mary's Church in Leyton (John was a farmer and lived at Leytonstone / Low Leyton), but I haven't found his marriage to Elizabeth which must have taken place in the late 1780's or in 1790. Their first child, Maria, was christened 3 October 1790, and John and Charlotte's last child, Sarah Charlotte, was christened 31st May 1789, which would suggest that John and Elizabeth probably married in 1789 or 1790, but I suppose Sarah Charlotte could have been christened some time after her mother's death. So, if you have time, could you please look at the St. Mary's, Leyton, parish records, to see if you can find the marriage between John and Elizabeth in 1789 or 1790? And if you can't find it, could you please have a look at the marriage between John and Charlotte to see if it gives any clues about John's family (witnesses etc.)? Thanks very much, and good luck with your own research. Kate.

Hi Shirley If you have time would you mind looking for the marriage of William Davey born c1797. According to census info his wifes name was Ann and both were born in Stisted. Their first child was born about 1820 so hopefully they were married before that. Many Thanks Jo

Hello Shirley, If possible could you find Richard David Kemp b about 1855 I think Romford-his daughter Cather Julie Anne Kemp was born in 1893 Romford. Many thanks for any info at all Sylvie b

Hi Shirley, Thank you very much for this generous offer of your time. If you have any spare moments, I would really appreciate any help. I am looking for the baptism of William Orris in Bradfield, Essex in about 1778 and / or his marriage there 1798-1802. Reference number is D/P173. The birthplace / year I have on good authority from the Census information. Any help would be very much appreciated, Jeff

Am anxious to establish date of my grandmother's burial at Little Braxted Church. Her name was Emily Louisa Jones (maiden name Hatherell). Her husband was David Jones. I believe that she was buried between 1906 and 1912.

Hi Shirley, Thanks for the offer.Please could you look up the baptism of a William Hurrell in the Belchamps.It could be any of them and the period is 1812-1825.I do know of one in Belchamp St Paul in circa 1820,but I am not convinced this is the right one. Many thanks, Steve.

I do hope you can help me. I am trying to track down John Rayment who was born c1830 in Castle Hedingham Essex. Any information on him would be a bonus. Many thanks Diane

Hi Shirley. Thank you so much for you offer. I wonder if you can find a babtism for my gt grandfather Joseph HILLS, born about 1837 in Epping Essex. His father was Thomas Hills. I can't find him on record of birth that seems right. Thank you again, and i hope you find what your looking for. sue :)

Oh you would be an angel if you could find a burial for me! My 4 x gt grandfather Thomas LODGE was living in Margaret Roothing/Roding in 1841. His wife was a widow in 1851, living in Shellow Bowells. (he is not buried there as far as I can find out). I cannot find a GRO death entry that seems right. Someone tried before at the ERO to look for the burial registers for the Roothing/Roding churches and was told they are not there. Surely there must be Bishop's Transcripts there? If you could find this out - even if you don't have time to look for the actual burial - I would be so grateful. Thank you very much. Maz. XX

Thank you so much for this offer. Could you please have a look at the baptisms for Thorpe le Soken (there's only the one church) between 1793 and 1796 to see whether there is anything listed for Mary KEEBLE. I don't have any information on who her parents were so any you might find are potentials! Many thanks Lou

Shirley Bless you! Could you check the burials register for any infant surname SMOOTHY at St Mary, Chelmsford between 1805 and 1812? Many thanks. I don't know if burial registers list parents of dead infants, but the parents would be John and Elizabeth, either Chelmsford or Moulsham area. Many many thanks and I hope you find what you are looking for. I was very impressed with the Records Office and only wish I lived nearer! nell

Hi Thank you for the very kind offer. I would be very greatful if you could have a look for the baptism of Abijah/Abyjah Hoy born about 1811-16 Stebbing in Essex. Many thanks Cleo

I plan to visit the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford one day next week. I hope to have some spare time to do some look-ups for other people. If you would like to leave details of what you would like looked up, I will do my best.
