http://www.hucknalltorkardhistory.co.uk/sources.htm Web Resources Transcript of baptisms and burials only, 1728-1851, by the wonderful Maureen Newton. Be very wary of that new viewer. Bit harsh. Nothing to be wary about, it's not perfect of course. I don't use it very often, but it has its uses. Fro...

Re: Samuel Allcock 1753

The PR Transcripts for 1556-1860 are available to view. I had a quick look, and found lots of church warden accounts, and bastardy Records etc. The Birth, Marriages and Deaths are supposed to be there too, but with over 1400 images to look through, may be a bit of a slog to find. Much easier to fin...

Re: Martin Bond Smith

Hi You (and Mo) are right, always check the witnesses. It paid off for me recently as well, and I was finally able to pin down the correct marriage for one of my ancestors, John Brooks. So were your Smiths in High Street, Fulham, in 1841? Jno, 66, Elizbth, 55, both not born county, and Jno, 14, born...

Re: Martin Bond Smith

Well done, NN. Great research! The signatures of Martin and Maria Smith are very similar to the ones on their own wedding. Not surprising, as it was only a few months earlier! So in 1851 in Fulham you have John Smith x 2, Elizabeth Smith (wife of John senior), and a nephew as well. The older Smiths ...
