I am trying to find out more info on my fathers family, he was Stanley Eric Joseph Mills born 30 Straight Road Lexden 9th March 1909. I have some info on great and great great grandparents all coming from Lexden and Stanway would like to find out where they are buried. Not much info on Grandparents Joseph Mills and wife Nancy Stephen Ledger would like their birth and marriage death certificates. How do I go about acquiring these please.
We already have your Stanway People and Places c1700 - 1840. Did you ever have published the Lexden one you were working on.

• Hi Death certificates will tell you where they died - this will give you a clue as to where they are buried. If died at Lexden then could be at St Leonards Church or at Colchester cemetery. Once you have the death date,both the church and the cemetery have good records. I have published a book on the Lexden & Winstree Workhouse and recently one on Stanway 1900-1920 - which includes the following `Mills` - Robert, Alfred,Leonard,Edward,Thomas,Albet & Charles. They were all about around the time Stanley Eric Joseph Mills was born - so may fit into your tree somewhere.

I'm tracing the history of the Hodges family. Edward James Hodges was a clergyman in Markshall in 1916 (the year his son John was killed, aged 19).
Can anyone tell me more about the family or point me in the right direction.
Reverend Hodges and his wife, Constance, had 2 children that I know about - Phillis and John. Were there any more?
The family moved to Bedford and I have evidence of them living there in the 1950s. How long were they in Markshall? They moved to the village from Lerwick in the Shetlands after the 1901 census but before the Great War began in 1914.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for information and records pertaining to ancestors of my husband's great grandfather John Drane~ born 1812~ occupation Ploughman from Aldham~ Colchester~ Essex. John Drane came to Australia on "The John" in 1832. Records and documents I have list his parents as John Drane and Jane (Jayne)Godfrey. There remains a family tradition dating back generations that the first son of the first son in the family should be named John. I am in Australia. Many thanks.
