1. Re: [WESSEX] Church Registers Act 1979 [1]
G'day, I think I've got the title of the Act right. However, in 1979 an Act of Parliament was passed for the preservation of Parish Registers. The act stipulated the conditions under which Registers which were no longer in use were to be kept. Essentially, they had to be kept in an "air-conditioned safe", with proper monitoring and record keeping of the air temperature and humidity. Naturally, this was too expensive for most individual churches, so they opted for the Plan B, which was that the register
2. Re: [WESSEX] Happy New Year & Happy Hunting! [1]
Hi Val, Unless someone has done the hard and long work of transcribing parish registers and then putting their transcription online, then you have to go to the appropriate Record Office to see the early parish registers. As I understand it, only the current registers are held by the parish church. More and more people are transcribing records and putting them online - especially through Online Parish Clerk programs (opc). You'll see the Dorset opc at http://www.dorset-opc.com/ and the Hampshire projec

5. Re: [WESSEX] WESSEX-PLUS Digest, Vol 2, Issue 4 [1]
Hi Val With regard to visiting churches to look at records; many smaller churches don't have their own vicar, with several parishes being looked after by a single parish priest. So there may be nobody available to help. Also most of the older Parish Registers have been sent to the county archives and have hopefully been filmed. In some of my searches I have found that some of the registers end in the 19th century, in which case the later ones (in one case from mid-1800s!) are still in use in t

11. [WESSEX] Sims. [1]
Hi Toni, I have a Sims Family in my Genealogy finishing with my Grandmother.(Clara Fanny Eliza Wells-Sims)b1870. Her Father (James Sims)b1843 was the son of Richard Sims b1809. They came from arlingham and Saul, two close area's near Stroud in Gloucester, England. I do have some letters mentioning other members of this Family. (Somewhere in my collection) I can't tell you too much off-hand - but if you recognise any of these - then I will make the effort of finding them and passing it on

It goes like this Elizabeth SAMPSON with the whole family bar one brother left Gt Somerford in 1834 and went to Pennsylvania, Elizabeth marr. John SIMMS Feb 1840 and he died Jul 1840, I know nothing about him. I cannot find the shipping manifest so do not know if he went out with them. The parents and their two widowed dau's plus three g.children (Ann BRYANTS) returned to Eng 1845 and as I said the two sisters were together in Nailswor
14. [WESSEX] Happy New Year & Happy Hunting! [1]
Hello folks If you are tracking your ancestors back into the mists of time - 1840 is a crucial time. It gets much harder further back than 1840, so you need to get the best start you can. Luckily, help is all around you. In 1837 a law was passed requiring the registration of births, marriages & deaths. This came into force in late 1839. The basis for this was the formation of registration districts and the census of 1841 was conducted using these districts. This census was the first of th
