Please scrap last message as the marriage date was wrong!!!!!
hello richard,
here are the details of our mystery mary chilvers!
Mary Chilvers (of Wingfield) married Robinson Chaplin (of geldeston)12th
November 1804. Her father is recorded as being john Chilvers though I will
have to check with my sister where she got this information (i think the
wedding cert). I have started the long process of going through every parish
register held at the SOG here in London to try and help locate and eliminate
the different family threads!!! yes is going to take some time!!! so any
help/short cut would be welcome! they had 7 children the last being born in
1815....so all i can say is that mary was probably born some time between
1700 and 1788.
yours sincerely
georgina drew

Hi Angela,
That's a good thought. My own tree is already lodged with Norfolk FHS at
Kirby Hall. There is not a lot of interest in CHILVERS in Sussex. It may be
worth while trying Norfolk Records Office.

yes, quite a problem..what a great shame your enthusiasm hasn't rubbed off
on anyone in your list of nearest and dearest. Hope you find a
solution....would your local records office take the info or the disc of
info?
Best wishes

Subject: Preservation of Records
There is a very interesting topic on the Guild of One-name Studies at the
moment regarding the preservation of family history records. I would like to
leave (will) all my stuff to the Guild but it appears they don't have the
resources to store all the records. None of the rest of my family has the
slightest interest in family history so that I fear that I will take it all
with me, so to speak. Does that really matter? Perhaps I should not care and
treat it just like any other hobby.
Web sites won't be there for ever and even if I burn it all onto CD and
print it all out to hard copy it will probably get lost when I leave this
mortal coil.
I have been considering starting a Chilver(s) family history society but
will that achieve anything more? I have also been thinking of a Chilvers get
together but many interested folks are widely separated.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
Best wishes,
Richard

As Jonathan asked me a question about the BMD Indexes, I have put together
the following explanation of the way that the numbering works. When I am
comfortable with it text I will upload it onto the web site. Please let me
know if I have made any bloopers.
I trust that I find you all well and enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon - if
not today's result. :-(

CIVIL REGISTRATION
The requirement to register a birth, marriage or death came into effect on 1
July 1837 in England & Wales. The indexes of all registrations since that
date were open to inspection by the public at St.Catherine's House (General
Register Office) but now are available at The Family Records Centre, 1
Myddleton Street, London, EC1R 1UW. (http://www.familyrecords.gov.uk/)
Postal applications for certificates should be made to the General Register
Office, Postal Applications Section, Smedley Hydro, Trafalgar Road,
Birkdale, Southport, Merseyside, PR8 2HH.
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/registration/
Copies of certificates can also often be obtained from local Register
Offices.
The indexes have been transcribed on a number of occasions and handwritten
up to 1865 thereafter typewritten. The handwritten indexes are being
gradually replaced by typewritten indexes. The indexes have been microfilmed
but are not always very clear so that when my wife and I extract the
CHILVER(S) we are liable to inject more errors. Hence my disclaimers!
Up to 1983 Births, Marriages & Deaths are in separate indexes, each covering
the preceding three month period and dated March, June, September and
December, each quarter being indexed in alphabetical order. From 1984 the
indexes are arranged in alphabetical order for the full year.
Note that the quarter in which the event took place is not necessarily the
quarter in which it was registered!
The indexes only give the Surname, Christian names, name of the Registration
District, Volume and Page reference. It is these details which you have to
supply (preferably on an application form) for a copy of the certificate
that you require. For an additional fee a search over a period of five years
can be arranged. Please go the G.R.O. web site for details.
From 1837 - 1851 the Volumes (main areas) were indexed in Roman Numerals but
for the ease of indexing my database I converted them to the Arabic
numbering system. From 1852 onwards the Volumes are numbered in Arabic
numerals anyway. There were also boundary changes in 1852, 1946 & 1974 so
that the areas are not always the same. For example Norfolk (later 4b) in
1837 - 1851 was XIII but at that time it included about one third of
Suffolk. So beware! Maps showing the Registration & Census Districts have
been produced by The Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies.
If you are interested in an index of the Registration Districts I recommend
a booklet by Ray Wiggins entitled interestingly enough "Registration
Districts".
BIRTHS
During the early years of civil registration many births, particularly those
of illegitimate children were not registered. Until 1875 when it became
compulsory there was no penalty to do so. From the September quarter 1911
the birth indexes give the maiden surname of the mother.
MARRIAGES
After December quarter 1911 the Marriage Indexes give the maiden name of the
bride alongside that of the groom and vice-versa. From this date then it is
possible to cross index to check for correct entries.
Note that the indexes on my web site also include some earlier spouses as I
have been able to determine them from other sources.
DEATHS
From 1866 onwards Death Indexes give the age of the deceased at death.
Some of this information has been extracted from "The Family Historian's
Enquire Within" by Pauline Saul and I commend this book to you as a very
good book of sources.
