What a fantastic site - thankyou so much for sharing the information.I started this journey only a couple of months ago thinking that all my searches for Palmers would be based in and around Sheffield as that is where we were born & bred (or so we thought !) Imagine my surprise to find my Gt Grandfather (William Palmer) and all other relatives are actually from Halstead (Tilton) which is only a few miles away from where I live now . Thanks to all your hard work many of the details I need are already available.
I will be hot footing it up to Tilton in the near future to have a wander around and see if I can locate anything else of my family history.
Any other details relating to the Palmers of Halstead or how they link in to the Palmers of Billesdon/Carlton Curlieu/Tur LAngton would be greatly appreciated .
Diane :-)

Thanks to those who have taken the time to provide the images and references on this site. Living on the other side of the globe makes it a little difficult and expensive to obtain such images that can be added to family history references. Of course, I will respect reproduction restrictions and only use for personal viewing and records.

I'm delighted to find some of my 17th century ancestors in your records. I wonder what the story was of "old fishy fancott"

A well organised resource!

Thank you for the email informing me of the update to your site.
I'm absolutely staggered at the information you have available and the many many hours it would have taken to provide the update alone.
I had a visit to the Leicester Record Office last month researching my family tree but have to say your site as provided me with much more information and confirmation than what my novice skills managed to find in 6 hours of searching and all this from the comfort of my home... a BIG thank you for all involved. I look forward to using your site on a regular basis.
Kind regards
Michael.

I have just viewed the Headstone of Priscilla Jean Hoare & although she died some some 51 years ago it still seems like yesterday to me. As a teenager of some 13 years old I went to school with Priscilla in Fareham & as my first girl friend I was devastated when her Father the Rev David Hoare moved to Tilton on the Hill. I of course missed her dreadfully when she left & after some months decided, even though I was only 14 that I would go and visit her - On phoning her father I was devastated to hear that she had died - I believe somehow she choked to death in her sleep. I now live in Australia, but have never forgotten her & never will. It was by chance I found this web site.

The email address is that of a friend of mine, but can be contacted on this.

When did the Tiltons leave for America

Family came from England in the 1630's. Part of the family was the original Founding families of Hampton, NH. I have traced the family supposedly back to Tilton on the Hill, England. Also, have been told the family changed its name in England to protect itself. Any information would be helpful.
