I have compiled a large tree which includes the prolific ROSE family (Haddenham, Waddesdon, Aylesbury, Cuddington). This is by no means all my own work because it also incorportates several other family trees - many of the compilers of which are long gone. Anyone interested in sharing and...

Below, I give enough POPE family information to add meaning to my question.

Can anyone please recommend (to a Londoner living in Devon) one or more books on the development of Buckinghamshire, especially about the 18th and early 19th centuries.

My great grandmother appears on the 1881 census as a scholar at this school. The headmaster was Paul Clarke, a retired Wesleyan minister.

Does anyone have access to baptisms for the parish of Buckingham, please? I'm looking for the baptism of a John TOLLET(T)/TOLLIT(T), probably the illegitimate son of Frances, in the early part of 1850. John's birth was registered in March qtr 1850, and he may have been born in February. Census...

I'm curious as to how one would be able to go further back, beyond 1535 with records... I realize that it gets really sticky before 1837's mandatory recording but I'd like to trace as far back as reasonably possible. FMP only has to 1535 and I'm not comfortable spending all my credits in on...

Hugh was the son of Thomas Dorrell and Anne Ferreras. They married in 1747. Hugh was christened in 1753. Can anyone tell me who he married and when - and who their children were please? The online Parish records don't make a mention of him after his christening. It is possible of course that he...
