Best wishes Paula

Hi Paula If you are still there and still bored could you have a look in Letcombe Bassett for a Sarah Jennaway (she married Robert Tyler there about 1764 so was probably born about 1740 ish). I've got a feeling I may have looked before but another pair of eyes might help. Thanks very much in advance. Carolyn

Bye for now Paula

Thanks very much for all those Paula. You may just have knocked down one of our long standing brick walls. I think the Sarah you found must be her, would have made her 28 when she got married, I was probably looking too late. Thanks again. Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, No problem at all. If there's anything else please let me know! I also forgot to mention that i did look for a marriage between James and Mary around 1727, but couldn't find one. Bye for now Paula

Hi there Paula. Haven't seen you on here for some time. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Have you got some more records to help me with my Newports? They were in Loncot, Bourton, Ashberry and Faringdon. Are any of these records new? Saturday afternoon is now a regular slot at Norwich library if you want a look up! Alice

Hi there Mad Alice, I had a great xmas and new year. What about you? To be honest, I really can't remember where I've already checked, so fire away!! I've just sent for the registers for Faringdon baptisms, and hopefully they'll be here towards the end of next week. AND I haven't forgotten your look ups in Shrivenham. I'm off to the RO on weds. The first time since about november, I think!!! Paula P.S. I'll take you up on some more look-ups if you really don't mind.

Have you still got the details? I will e-mail them again if not Send me anything you want looking up in Norwich. The library is really good. It has nearly all the parish registers and census records so its great for look ups on a Saturday afternoon. If you want anything more complicated records office I will go at half term. Alice
