Hello, Am searching for the descendents of John Ambrose Severn of Bolsover. He was born in 1884 in Whittington, was a mining engineer student in 1901, and married Vida Hannan from Fowey in Cornwall in Aug. 1907, by which time he was a surveyor in Bolsover. Have no further information on his children - would be wonderful to find out if he had a family! Frosty
I have John Ambrose Severn on my tree his parents were Mary Ann Blackham & William Severn who married 1867 in Belper Derbyshire. I do not have anymore on John as my connection is Mary Ann Blackham but would be interested in what you have on him if I might ask. I know a Deb Hunkin who is connected to your John Ambrose please contact me for her address. Regards Ellen
I am trying to trace the Serverns as well. Eliza Severn (born 1852 in Belper) had two brothers George (born 1855) amd William (born 1858). On the 1861 census they are livign with Mr & Mrs Levens so I don't know who their parents are for definite. I know my William isn't the same as yours, but wondered if you'd come across any of mine? Thanks! LJT
Sorry I can not help you here with your William, I have not come across yours so far. I contacted someone else about this name but she was also unable to help. If I do come across him in my research I shall get in touch with you Elliemay
I have just noticed there is an Eliza Severn born March Qtr Belper 1852, also a William Severn born September Qtr Belper 1857 would these be yours? Elliemay
