Thank you Richard,

Will take your advice and see if anyone is going.Will also see if I can get anything from Records Office at Aylesbury.

Teddy

Teddys the records are not online anywhere you would have to go to view the original copies of the parish registers on microfiche at the Buckinghamshire Record Office in Aylesbury

Dates covered
Christenings 1537 - 1996
Marriages 1534 - 1986
Burials 1538 - 1970

If you can't get there yourself you could always try asking on the 'records office' board here see if anyones going and is willing to do look ups for you, or you could try contacting the records office direct and asking them if they do search services and if so how much they charge.

All best

Thanks Richard,

Yes I can see what you mean, as another branch of my family came from Bedford, and many were sent to Australia, as the Parish would not keep them.

Anyone know what an internet site would be for Stoke Hammond parish records. Any help would be greatley received.

Also any descendants of the Hornes, from Stoke Hammond, would like to hear from you.

The era 1760-1840 was the Industrial revolution, and saw a general population shift, countrywide, from the towns to the city.

As well as people choosing to seek work in the cities, some smaller towns and villages, who couldn't support their own poor ran schemes to actually send whole groups of parishioners, and families, to big cities where employment for them had been sorted out in advance.

That may well account for your relatives, and if so quite possible records would survive in the Stoke Hammond parish records. May be worth checking.

While searching for my 2 x great grandfather John Horne, born 1807 Stoke Hammond, Bucks.and on 1841 census living in Hackney. I found so many people with the name Horne that were born in Stoke Hammond, Bucks, and living in London area (or Middlesex as it was then)
Was there a general stampede? Wonder if anyone knows why, and if they were all related.
Or if there is anyone who has these rellies
