Fyfield Tubney parish reg. - completed
« on: Saturday 08 December 07 12:40 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for the death of one William Stimpson (possibly Simpson) who lived all his life in Fyfield, and who died around 1866 presumably in Fyfield.
I am also hunting for the death of his wife Ann Stimpson who for sure died in 1851 though I'm only guessing this happened in Fyfield.
Cheers
PB

Dear PB

Can confirm that Anne Stimpson was buried Fyfield, 1851

However, no William Stimpson or Simpson bured in Fyfield.  There is a William Stimpson buried in Tubney in 1884 which is a bit later than you are looking for.  Perhaps you could check the 1871 & 81 censuses to see if your William is still around?

There are other Stimpson bured in Fyfield, as follows:
1841 Bernard
1851 Anne
1869 Florence Emily
1886 John James

Tubney burials
1861 Mary
1862 Ruth
1874 Edwin
1884 William
1923 Mary

Dear KN
Wow, Yet again really fast. Thank you. This is really an excellent thing you all do. I hope one day to be able to do the same.
As you suggest, I'll find someway to check the census for 1871.
My only fall-back failing this is Abingdon as his most sucessfull son was living there and maybe he went to pop his clogs there. I try another post.
Thanks again

William was born in 1791 in Tubney (according to him) but his bapt. came under Fyfield St. Nicholas, presumably because there was no Tubney church at that time. His parents were Robert and martha.
He was obviously a humerous guy Grin because he has been leading me a merry dance over the years Angry and I still haven't got very far (I live in Italy which doesn't help).

The plot thickens - and I'm not sure that I'm seeing the wood for the trees here!

More burials at Appleton that you may choose to discount!

William Stimpson buried 16 Jan 1868, aged 88
Ann Stimpson buried 15 Jan 1864, aged 83

Firstly I have found these burials in the Berkshire Burial Index, but they are not listed in the OFHS CD copy of the Appleton Parish Registers as those only go up to 1839.

Secondly, I think that you can indeed discount the record of this Ann as William is listed in the 1861 census as a widower.

Thirdly, is this William too old for the one that you are looking for?

I'll leave you to decided who's who!

Hi again KN
Thanks a lot.
The William you mention is too far out with regard to his birth date. The one I'm looking for was definitely born in 1791.  However I already had this William burial but didn't have his age at death so this was really helpfull in enabling me to exclude him and wasting yet another 25quid or so on a certificate.
I am almost certain that I have found Ann's death, 1851 in  Fyfield aged 58.

Martha in  Appleton is really interesting. I'll have to start digging around amongst my papers and see if I can tie her in. It might also be worth looking for Robert in Appleton too. William must have inherited his elusive genes from  Robert who I can also hear sniggering at me from his cloud.

Just in case you or anyone else out there reading this has an idea, Robert , William's father was not born in Buckland but was given on the marriage list as "Robert Simson of Buckland". I am having a little difficulty finding out exactly if "of buckland" intended his place of origin i.e where he was born or grew up or just where he came from in the months before his wedding. Any ideas? It's not the first time i've come across this.
Thanks again. You really have been helpful.

Hi KN
Sorry, I forgot to ask you if there is by chance
an age for Martha in the burial entry for Appleton.
Cheers

Yes, sorry I should have mentioned it.

Martha was 79 when she died.

Lovely, thanks.
Wow what a headache. Another one ruled out. So many people with the same names. Whatever happened to names like algenon or Jemima.
Perhaps Rob and Martha and william didn't die. Perhaps they are immortal. Perhaps I shoudl take up another hobby - tennis perhaps.
Thanks again

Since my last visit to Berks 5 years ago I have been nursing my hastily copied notes for Fyfield Baptisms for simpson/stimpson and variations which ended at the year 1830 - the records office closed i think Angry. Do you, or any other kindly soul have the time to pass me the entries for 1831 to 1841 for s(t)impson births?
I don't want to push my luck but this is such an excellent resource and genealogy is such an obsessive hobby that...
Cheers

no problem ..... quite understand ....... I'm addicted to this game too!

indeed it's absolutely no problem as there are no Stimpson/Simpson baptisms in Fyfield between 1831 and 41.

Were you expecting any in particular?

Hi KN
OH!!.....OHHH! I was hoping for more children from William and Ann but obviously twas not to be.  Maybe I remembered wrong and the RO didn't close. Well now I know.
Thanks yet again.
I think I'm supposed to close this string now as you have answered all my questions so I will. But I imagine that I'll be postin' regular.
I'm going to have to  rethink my strategy somewhat.
Can I ask you what interests you have in the Berks area?
Cheers
