Hi. Can anyone help with the folowing. Birth of Ann Alderman abt 1805 ish. On the 1851 census she says she was born in Chalfont St Peters, but I have my doubts. Also her husband Joseph Weedon b.abt 1801. He says in Aldenham, Herts but again I have doubts. Any info appreciated. Dud.

Dudley 1. Can you find them on 1841 census or the 1861? 2. Have you looked on www.familysearch.org? If you google 'High Wallis batch numbers' you will find a site where you can check which parishes in Herts and Bucks are covered and for which years, on the IGI [international genealogical index]. You can then search from there to the IGI info on www.familysearch.org. You don't say why you aren't convinced about their birthplaces. Do you know where they married? nell

Hi Nell. The only reason that makes me unsure as to where they were born is that I cannot find records of christenings. Thewy were married in Isleworth, Middx, 31 Dec 1827. I'll give this High Wallis site a look. (Never heard of it before.) Many thanks for your reply. Dud.

Dudley The IGI and VRI and any other finding tools are not necessarily complete. I wouldn't rule out either place of birth unless I had checked out the parish registers in the relevant county records office. It is always possible that either or both of these people were baptised in a nearby parish, or even in the relevant parish at a later date with a sibling, or even in a non-conformist or RC church. You may also find that the local family history society has transcribed baptism records for their area. nell
