 in Middlesex, England Under Construction - January 2000 !! Birth Data | Marriage Data | Death and Burial Data | Other Civil Records | Edmonton | Enfield
Our latest discovery is a number of individuals located in Middlesex County These names and places also seem closely related with individuals who appear in the Virginia Colony in the 1660's and the Carolina Colony between 1670 and 1710, and may prove to be the connection between the Boone's of Charleston, and those of Virginia and northeastern North Carolina.
Note that I say begin to support, because, while there are individuals with similar names in this data, there is no direct relationship proved. . . . . . . That's where I need your help!! Please forward any tidbit of information that you find, that seems even remotely related to the individuals described on this page, to Bob Boone, so that I can try to connect them together!!Birth or Christening data, located via the internet, through GENUKI, or contributed by others: Specific information is supposed to reside on LDS microfilm number 0585397 -- "Parish Registers, Enfield, Middlesex, England: 1550 - 1875" , but I have not seen this microfilm yet !! Would someone who has access to this film please transcribe any BOONE entries and forward them to this site for inclusion in this page ??? Marriage data, located via the internet, through the Middlesex County page at GENUKI: Data transcribed by Sandy Coleman and the data prepared for the internet by Ryan Henrie.

Edmonton Parish; church of All Saints, Church Street (1558-1837) Edmonton, earlier recorded as Adelmeton and later as Edelmeton is village which straggles for nearly two miles along the road to Ware from Tottenham and Enfield, the Tottenham part being called Upper Edmonton, the Enfield end Lower Edmonton; Stations on the Great Eastern Railway, Angel Road and Church Street, on the Hertford or Low Level, and at Silver Street and Church Street on the High Level branches, serve both districts. The village is built along a slightly raised crest, having the River Lea on one side and the New River on the other: the higher ground on the west arable, the lower, by the Lea, marsh land. Of old, Edmonton was noted for its market gardens, and they are still extensive, potatoes being very largely grown. There are also nurseries and farms, as well as several factories; but with the development of the railway facilities Edmonton is assuming more and more the aspect of a suburban village. The history of the place is little more than the history of the several mAnors, to relate which would be tedious and unprofitable. The inhabitants of Edmonton had right of common upon Enfield Chase, and when the Chase was divided, in 1777, a tract of 1231 acres was allotted to the parish. The church, All Saints, is situated in Church Street, Lower Edmonton, a turning on the left of the London road by the 7 mile stone, and the High and Low Level railway stations leading to Winchmore Hill. It is a large building, chiefly of the Perpendicular period, but was cased with brick and altered throughout, with the exception of the tower, in 1772. In 1886, however, the interior was carefully restored, new perpendicular windows inserted in the chancel, and a south aisle added to it. The tower is of flint and stone; Perpendicular square with an angle turret at the south-east and battlemented, and has a peal of eight bells. Other churches: Enfield Parish; church of St Andrew, Market Place (1550 - 1875) Enfield, Dom. Enefelde (probably from the Anglo Saxon én and feld, a forest clearing) is about 9 miles from London by road. The Great Eastern Railway has a branch line to Enfield, and the Great North Railway has also a short line. Enfield parish is very large, containing 12,653 acres, and being eight and a half miles long from east to west and three to six miles from north to south. The river Lea is its eastern boundary, East Barnet and Hadley its western, Edmonton the southern and Cheshunt, South Mimms, and Northaw the northern. Enfield parish is divided into four quarters: Town quarter, comprising the central portion of the parish and the eastern side of Chase Side; Chase quarter, the whole of the Enfield Chase, Windmill Hill, and the western side of Chase Side; Bull's Cross quarter, Enfield Wash, Forty Hill and the north-eastern section of the parish; and Green Street quarter, Green Street, Ponders, and Enfield Highway.
Enfield gave the title of Baron to the Earls of Rochford. Enfield has eight manors, two of which, Enfield and Worcester, were formally royal manors, each having its palace and park, and with these the historical interest in Enfield is chiefly associated. In the time of the Confessor the manor of Enfield was owned by Osgar, master of the horse to King Edward. At the Doomsday Survey it belonged to Geoffrey de Mandeville, a powerful Norman baron who accompanied William to the Conquest. The account of Enfield in the Doomsday Book supports the derivation of the name, and gives an unusually bright picture of an English village in the early years of the Conquest. Evidently it was a large village within a cleared portion of the forest.. Edward I, in 1303, granted by charter a license to Humphrey de Bohun and his heirs to hold a market at Enfield weekly on Mondays. James I renewed the grant, altering the day to Saturday. The church, St Andrew, stands as has been said on the northern side of the market place, and within a spacious but over-crowded church yard. It is of flint and stone, but covered externally with cement, perpendicular in style, and consists of nave, with clerestorey, chancel, and aisles, west tower, with a peal of eight bells, and southern porch. The long side of the church lying parallel to the market place, plaster-covered, and having continuous lines of ugly (and comparatively modern) battlements alike on tower, nave, aisles and chancel, can hardly be called picturesque, and certainly not impressive.

There are a number of resources in the UK for tracing surnames, built around the GENUKI system; essentially every (almost!) county (shire) has a genealogy site, in in those sites are surname lists and individuals who are working on them.
