4. Essex & home counties research for charity -try2 [1]
Hi all, My name is Kevan. I am raising funds for a specific charity. I will do research in Essex & the home counties, and I do have access to most of the country for specific years. In fact my resources are phenomenal. I run this site http://essex1841.com which is free; but I am happy to research anywhere for a donation. No specific charges. All I ask is that you send the donation in the first instance - making cheques payable to 'Hornchurch East District Guides' and post them to : Kenya2005

Hello from Australia Melba. The following very useful site gives the definition of ''Comber'' as ''Comber/Combere... combs wool" http://cpcug.org/user/jlacombe/terms.html A hairdresser back in the 1700's would undoubtedly be one who took care of and looked after the ''preening'' of wigs, an essential item for any gentleman at that time.

Diane, are you sure that the email address from which you are trying to send the messages is exactly the same as the one you subscribed under? Are you using the same computer that you used when you subscribed? This problem usually occurs when the email addresses do not match exactly. Sometimes a person types a capital letter in an enail address that is subscribed all in lower case. Sometimes the capital letter might not matter but in a List subscription it almost certainly will matter. Just a su
13. RE: 1841 Census [1]
Hi, Not entirely true. I am doing my best to index the 1841 census for a large number of areas, and I admit it is far from perfect. Try either sites at http://kevw.net or http://essex1841.com - both have similar info, and the simple search engine allows searching of all 1841 census transcribed, and more.

Hi, could someone with access to the 1841 census for Coggeshall, and Gt Wigborough, please look to see if they can find a Thomas Dowell with wife Ann Dowell together with perhaps family. I am hoping it may say which County Thomas was born in. Was Ribbon/Silk weaving carried out in Coggeshall during the early 1813 period? Appreciate help already given by Cornelia Moore with regard to Piggotts and Pallots, also the kind help of Des Johnson who has looked at the 1871 census for me and Greg Lewin for looking

Barkers of Kensington used to have overhead wires on which was suspended a carrier for cash. The cashier sat high up in a pulpit affair, in the centre of the shop. The carriers whizzed back and forth at a rate of knots. The tube version is used today, in Tesco's.......... Winkles, etc.Yuck!

17. COTTEE & TAYLOR - Tiptree & Ldn [1]
Spoke to a lovely lady in Tiptree yesterday, Mrs COTTEE, nee Taylor who is over 80. She told me that her family had moved to Tiptree from London at the time of WW2, 60 years ago. The Cottees have been in Tiptree and district for centuries, so have many Taylors, though not necessarily all of them it seems. Though Mrs Cottee and I both thought that her family might have merely returned to their roots in Tiptree when they moved. Colleen

21. Difficult Search [1]
HI List-members, I am trying to find the name and dates of a child of my great grandparents who seems to have been born and died before the family emigrated to the U.S. I believe this child existed because the 1900 Hartford, CT census indicates 6 children born and 5 surviving - and I can account for all of them on the ship manifest except for this (unnamed) one. What I thought to do was get a list of all births and deaths (by surname) during the period that this child was likely born (and died) and compa
22. Re: Thank you [1]
I called both of my grandmothers Nannie the one I saw most was just Nannie and my Fathers mother who we did not see quite so often was Nannie Adams. I never thought to ask why. My Grandfathers were both Grandpa and I am called Grandad, but my wife is being called something like Nana by the toddlers so maybe it was a word that came naturally to children or perhaps after nanny or nurse who looked after children.

As far as I know, ERO themselves will copy documents as long as there isn't an issue of age and fragility and at very reasonable cost: they provided me with the Aylett entries out of all three volumes of Wills at Chelmsford. It may take a while as they don't have that many staff but I've found them very helpful.
