Well, I’ll see if I can amuse you. Today I typed “Finney Leicestershire” into Google and voila up comes Ken Phillips web site. So I get my paper and pen with the hope that I might find something that links our family tree. I start with Samuel Finney and it snowballs from there. Samuel Finney married Catherine Storer, these are my G-G Grandparents. So then I check the Storers and bugger me, Robert Weston born 1653 is my 8 x Great Grandfather and yours as well. I have managed to go back 244 years in an afternoon, talk about time travel. Let me know if you want to add any of my info and I will be happy to share.

Granddaughter of CECIL ALVEY TIDD. Grandad was never married to Lillian. He had 3 children with her - John, Roy and my Mom Mary Elizabeth. Everyone knew her as Betty. When he left the Warrington-Tidds, he had to drop the Warrington part of his name because he was living in sin. At least this is the story I was led to believe.

Hello found my grandmother Doris Ruth Eade on here by chance, even though she passed away 51 years ago I still remember her though sadly her voice has faded in my mind but its lovely to come across her if you want to add to the 45,000 Ken I can give you more names !!

I am the g.g.g.g.g.grandaughter of John Phillips & Sarah Hayhurst 1820 SA Settlers.
I have an extensive family tree - but after 10 years I am still missing the final link!! John\'s parents and siblings in England. I have been fortunate to have help from a few boffins, however, not joy to date! There is nothing in the Parishes or the Churches in England, birth or baptism. The info on the SA genealogy sites cannot be taken as correct as there is no source or proof. I am now trying to go through living Phillips relatives to see if they have anything documented.
John sailed out to South Africa on the La Belle Alliance and the ships log states he was 19, a farmer, Parents Unknown, from Middlesex, London.
I see that John is also a common name in your family line . . .
Please email me: nuttybales@lantic.net if by some miracle you have something!
Kind regards

Hi Ken: Your research has been very useful and I have been using it to cross-check my research. However, I noticed that you have mixed up two Mary Headleys. If you check out my files on Familysearch.org, you will be able to see the documentary evidence. Mary Headley (L4WKN5N), daughter of John Headley and Rachel Burrows married James Gilliver. And Mary Headley (LVFHL7G), daughter of Robert Headley, married George Coleman. The marriage records (available when you click on the marriage date) prove this because they give the name of the brides\' fathers.

Hi Ken: With regards to William Headley (b.1841), I think you have him listed as married to the wrong woman. You show him as married to Elizabeth Dixon, but according to the certified marriage record I ordered from the GRO, he is married to Elizabeth Bradbury. If you look on Family Search (William\'s ID number is L5YF 5LJ) you can review the sources I have used. Thanks for all the work you have done on the Headley line. I discovered your page a few weeks ago and I have been cross-checking it with my own work.

Re: Eliza Headley, b. 1834, daughter of Marston Headley and Ann Dexter. I have found Eliza\'s marriage record. In 1860, she married George Payne. You can see the details on familysearch.org. Eliza\'s ID# is KZH5QJL.

Many years ago my Mum Carol Ann Jones used to take me to visit Winifred and James Hunt (Cradduck) in Kingsley Rd, Maidstone. I always fondly knew of them as Auntie Winnie and Uncle Jim, never discovered if we are related or not. I remember Uncle Jim used to paint beautiful paintings, he used teach me how to count and convinced me that we only had 9 fingers and thumbs (by counting them backwards). After Jim passed, Winnie went into a retirement home. They were a lovely couple.
