William jarrett b abt 1635 was i'm informed in the parish baptisms at whitchurch and transcribed from latin into english by the vicar there about 35 years ago, they don't appear to be at the hereford records office, does any body have the st dubricus church records or the email address ??,

The same goes for williams marriage to elizabeth apparently,

Search engines readily give church contact details from the usual websites, eg

Thanks mike / jeff some one got in touch about the margaret aids marriage, it was at whitchurch 1739 to charles jarrett( margaret spelt marguritte, must be latin pronounciation )
The whitchurch records seem very patchy hardly nothing before 1700 on the jarrett/ jarratt families

You're welcome Phil, but thanks for posting.

Ref "margaret spelt marguritte, must be latin pronounciation"

at first I thought no, not necessarily. Don't forget this was centuries before schooling and improved literacy/spelling standards became the norm for the general population, even for the scholars such the clergy. As with a great many Parish Records etc, the name is actually spelt logically, just as it's spoken or sounds.

That said, you may be correct wrt "Latin". To me it immediately looked like French, especially the last "te". You probably know this was the "international" language at that time for academics and diplomats. To my surprise I now find that originally French was actually derived from Latin, which until the 1600s had preceded French as the international language. And as I guess you're thinking, many members of the clergy would have been used to seeing and reading old Biblical text and verse written in Latin as per the monastries.

Re the records being patchy, don't forget we're relying on fragile paper records surviving for over 300 years, often stored in damp cold places in large books which were being handled regularly, and also prone to being nibbled by rats and suchlike. Also, I can well-imagine Jarrett being spelt in many ways, perhaps even with a "G", so a tricky one to search. In fact I've just seen some C17th & C18th records on Familysearch for Jarrett in Hampshire, one of the later records was spelt Jeraet !. On the plus side, it's not the most common of names to search, unlike my Jones and Wrights for example, so I think you've done very well indeed to get back that far.

Hi, can anyone help, some one is doing a family tree on family search web site related to my family, how does one make contact with the tree instigators ???

They don’t make it particularly easy but you can do this without being registered:-

If you click on one of the User Submitted Genealogies it should open a page displaying the tree and with a light green bar near the top. On the left side of this bar should be the owner’s username and/or type of file, and on the right a submission date with (sometimes) a blue contact name. Click on that name and whatever contact details are available will come up. If you’re lucky you will get an email address and even a phone number and postal address; if you’re not there will be nothing. If the contact name is not blue try clicking on a different person in the tree; this will usually do the trick.

There may be some kind of time limit on access to contact details – looks to be about three years.

Thanks mike

Regards phil

Happy new year
