William PRIDE/HILL (General)

Wow, thanks so much for your help!
I'm a newby to the whole family history thing and learning as I go!
Could someone please post the link or a picture of the transcript you are looking at?
I don't even know where to find what you are talking about :-(

Hi Terry, and welcome to the forum and website.
Please can you help us better understand your situation. I ask as although you're a newby (which is fine, we've all been there, I still am! ) your first post shows you have information which (from the dates etc) appears to me to suggest that you have traced back to the first UK Census taken in 1841. A brief background as to how you know that information would be really useful in ensuring we help you in the best possible way, but without wasting time telling you things you may already know.
I'm also worrying a little that, given the Parish Record (PR) shows the name as PRIDE, are we certain this record is actually relevant for your PRIDER line ?.

Also, not essential, but whereabouts in the world are you ?. Judging from your posting times etc I guess you're in Australia ?, which is fine of course, we have a great many visitors from across the world. I was born in the FoD and have family still there, but have lived in West London, UK, for many years.

Looking forward to your reply, hence us helping you more in the coming days,
all the best, Jeff.

Also this old post of mine might give you some pointers and explain some of the phrases used in other replies to your post, eg the various reference websites. Sorry I cannot give a direct link to my post, please track down to the last post in this thread.

For any query it's always worth searching this forum, in the past there have been many posts from "newbies" requesting advice etc, and we'll always do our best to help. That said, I cannot see any old posts re "William Pride/Prider", so maybe we're all in new territory here !, but it did find the above post for me. Certainly in my view it's far more rewarding to search and find one's own answers to queries, when possible, rather than rely on possibly erroneous replies from other people, especially when if the going gets hard then we're here in the background to help when needed.
