| HANDLEY | I am seeking information about Lucy Handley, born 1851 in the Osbournby or Folkingham area, near Bourne. I believe her parents to be John and Hannah Handley.

William is listed as a joiner and Lucy is a servant girl who would have been 22 years old when she had Gertrude. She married George Narracott from Nottingham in 1878. If anyone has any information on any of these please contact me. |

| HAINES HAYNES |
My mother was Dorothy Denis Plowman and according to the 1901 census, descendants of her foster family lived at Dyke, near Bourne. Her parents were Thomas W and Susannah Haynes who lived in the village until they died in 1940 and 1941. There was a son George William (born 1885), a fostered daughter Dorothy Mary (born 1895), who is later believed to have opened a hat shop in Bourne, and a fostered son Reginald Benton (born Spalding 1920) who was illegitimate as was my mother. The fostered children had no family connection with each other and I am trying to find out why Thomas and Susannah came to foster them and would like to hear from anyone who can shed some light on this mystery. | Christine Gordon Bishopstoke, Eastleigh, Hampshire, England |

| HALFORD | My g g g grandmother, Mary Halford, married Joseph Benson at Nottingham St Mary's in 1829 and died aged 27 in 1836. This gives her date of birth as 1809. I have a baptism records from St Mary's for twins, John and Maria Halford, in 1806, parents James and Ann Halford, of Fishergate. I have always assumed that this is the right baptism although the dates do not quite work out right. I have never been able to trace James and Ann Halford anywhere. There is one Ann Halford, age 60, on the 1841 census in Nottingham but this is not the same one who is the mother of the twins. I would like to find a link to my Mary Halford if possible. All information gratefully received. |

| MARSHALL | Alfred Marshall and his wife Clara moved to Careby, near Bourne, sometime between 1898 and early 1900. Children born in Careby were Cecil Alfred, Frank Harold, Horace Percy, and Gladys Clara. An undated newpaper report of their golden wedding anniversary, possibly, October 1933, quotes "Mr and Mrs Marshall of Careby whose golden wedding celebrations were chronicled in our last issue" but I do not have the earlier issue. Also from the cutting: "One daughter, Mrs W Skeath, lives at Baston, and son Mr Horace Marshall, resides at Ryhall." Mrs Skeath may have been the daughter born in Careby or at Little Staughton, Bedfordshire, or the eldest child born in London. Alfred Marshall (grandfather) worked at Holywell Hall, near Bourne, under Colonel Birch-Reynardson and later under the Hon Mountjoy Fane, and retired about 1930. Any help with further information or connections appreciated. |

| MARVIN | I am researching John Marvin who died at Morton, near Bourne, on 17th April 1826, aged 49. His second wife was Sarah Swift who he married at Deeping St James on 10th October 1808. I believe that John was born at Morton to Emanuel and Elizabeth Marvin and baptised on 17th April 1775. He married Sarah Lamley at Morton on 17th September 1799 but I have not been able to trace any children of this marriage or the date of Sarah's death. Any help would be appreciated and if anyone has a Marvin connection then I have details of those that appear in the local parish registers including three that were transported to Australia. | Barrie

| McKENZIE | I am seeking information about my g g grandmother, Ann, born circa 1805 at Baston, near Bourne, Lincolnshire. She married Thomas McKenzie from Scotland and lived at Chester and then Liverpool. I have no details of the marriage and so cannot establish her surname. My great grandmother, Ann McKenzie, their daughter, was born in 1836 so I presume they married in 1835. If anyone has access to parish records I would appreciate any help such as baptisms for Ann around 1805 and there is a probability they married in Baston. |

| MEADOWS | My gggg-grandmother, Eliza Meadows, was a servant of John Garner, baker, of North Street, Bourne, according to the 1851 census and is listed as Eliza Fowler as she was illegitimate and her mother (Mary Ann) had married James Fowler. She reverted back to Meadows on marrying George Lister in 1856. Eliza gave birth to two illegitimate children in the workhouse, James in 1849 and Elizabeth in 1853. Eliza appears to have travelled to Bourne from Langtoft where there was a large community of Meadows during the mid-19th century. James Meadows, my ggg-grandfather left to work in the coal mines at Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. His sister, Elizabeth, worked as a servant for Henry Draycott at the Old Windmill Inn, North Street, Bourne, in 1871, although listed as Elizabeth Lister as her mother had married George Lister, reverting to Meadows before marrying William Adcock in 1876 and moving to Spalding. Any connections with the Meadows family will be welcome. |
