  • Is anyone able to do a lookup in Essex RO please

    I am having trouble finding George Butcher born 1838 Boxsted ,Essex, this was his place of birth on the 1881 census. He was a shepherd, then residing in Norfolk, he died in 1897 in Norfolk Asylum. He married Sarah Ann Holmes of Nayland ,Suffolk sometime after 1861 as she is still on the census at home with parents. I just cannot get any further back until I can ascertain the name of his father, either by his birth or marriage.
    I would appreciate help.
    Thank you

    You can search the boxsted registers on seax. Do you know how late (datewise) you can look at them?

        Not sure where the parish record is, but FS does have a few likely births indexed:

        ================================================== ======

        Using maps.familysearch.org, I can see that Lexden is 4.6 mi from Boxted. I wonder if that's your man?

        Orsett, Braintree are not within the 10 mi. radius that FS draws, Tendring is 9.86 mi - but the record is for 1837. Not sure which reg district Boxted falls in, but I suspect it's Lexden??

                  I think we have searched all marriages for these two and nothing comes up Essex, Suffolk or Norfolk. My guess too is that they never married. George is a mystery before 1871. Perhaps he was baptised/registered under a different first name and changed it when he left home. All the George Butchers North Essex/ West Suffolk have been searched for baptisms and censuses. I browsed the Bishop's transcripts for Boxted, Essex 1800-1871 and there wasn't a sign of any Butchers at all there. The Boxted, Suffolk (Sudbury) PR's perhaps need to be searched for Butchers but they are not online.

                    Thank you Kat, I may never know his father's name. 3 of his children died in their teens and twenties,2 daughters in childbirth and his son from peritonitis. so sad. This is possibly why it is only my cousin and I searching for him. When his daughter Eliza, my gt gran died aged 19, her hubby later remarried and of course their descendants aren't Butcher any more, so difficult. I have cousins in Norfolk of the second marriage but of course the Butcher family is not directly related to them, so they don't have any info. I have found a Butcher aged 60, his daughter? Maria aged 20 and George Butcher aged three in Orford, seems a long shot but might send for that birth cert.
                    Thank you so much for latest research.

                      I understand that FS is making their way thru Essex registers. Cross your fingers and hope that he shows up sometime soon.

                      I also wonder about the other Geo Butcher's that are in similar time frame? Especially the one in Tendring?

                          I don't think that George is yours. In 1851 he's recorded as Edward & there's a bapt. for Edward George, mother Jane at Butley about 4/5 miles from Orford & both 30-40 miles from Stoke by Nayland. There is also a death of Edward George aged 13 in 1852, Plomesgate Dist.
