Zachariah Giles
« on: Monday 12 November 07 17:05 GMT (UK) »

Hallo,
I am looking for the parents of Zachariah Giles, general labourer, living in Croydon (Handcross Alley to be precise) but born in Wiltshire in about 1804.  I am going to do a posting in the Wiltshire section but I know that all his children and descendents lived in Croydon or the surrounding area and so . . . is there anyone here who has any information for us as we just cannot seem to find his parents  Undecided
Cheers and thanks

Hi Kirk.
Which censuses do you have for him?
When was the first child born?
Do you know when & whom he married?
Have you found his death registration?
Do you know where in Wilts he says he was born?

Sorry loads of questions but they might help us find you some answers  Smiley

Kirk, there is a death registration for a Zachariah Giles, Q3 1869, Croydon reg. district (2a 105) could this be him?
If it is we should be able to find him in 1841, 1851 & 1861.  His age at death suggests he might have been born about 1806.

Hi Georgefriedrich.

The 1841 census lists Zachariah's wife as Honor.

There is an IGI entry which lists a marriage at Ramsbury,Wiltshire of a Zachariah Giles and Honour Stephens.This was on Nov 6,1824.

There is also an IGI entry for a bap. of Honour Stephens dau.of James & Sarah Stephens on Jan 20,1805.

With this,and in accordance of Giles stated birthplace on the 1861 census,it would seem that searches in Wiltshire may reveal more information regarding Giles ancestry.

Regards,
Dave.

Thanks everyone for your help!
I wrote my posts on Rootschat then forgot to look at replies!   Embarrassed
I offer my sincere apologies for that.
Yes that is Zachariah dying in 1869 and from careful hunting I found him in 1841 1851 and 1861 so he must have migrated to Croydon prior to that time.
He is a tricky customer to locate but I shall keep trying.
Thanks once again
Kirk
