Hello,
I've found a marriage on FreeBMD for Susannah PITT in 1840 in Upton Upon Severn....trouble is, I can't determine the correct spouse (either from the IGI or census details/clues after the year of marriage)  . Would anyone have available parish records for Upton upon Severn and kindly do a look up to help decide which of the following men married my Susannah Pitt:
James HARNETT 
William WALKER 
Henry WALL 
Any help with this would be great and appreciated!
Best wishes,
Jilly

Just to make life more complicated the registration district Upton upon Severn covers a large area - not just Upton on Severn. Do you have any clues as to where Susannah was born as she may have married at her local church.

Hi Netti,
This really throws things off as Susannah was born in Pembridge, Herefordshire in 1820. The family moved to Upton before 1828.
All I know for sure is that the family had moved to Upton and were living centrally in Old Street (the high street of Upton) around 1837. By 1841, Susannah had flown the nest and most likely married (if the marriage record for Upton Upon Severn is hers), but I can't seem to locate her married on the censuses with either of the possible spouses listed.
Thanks for responding to my message, Netti,
Best wishes,
Jilly

Upton on Severn marriages are on the IGI and although Pitts were married there, no sign of Susannah.
So the marriage you found was elsewhere. You could get the certificate but if you're like me you save those purchases for the important ones!
Have you tried "matching up" the other couples on the freebmd list to at least narrow it down a bit?

Hi Netti,
No I haven't tried that yet, but it may come to that.
As you say, it's too hit and miss to order the certificate. It's hard to say where she went once she flew the nest. I did find a Susannah Pitt in 1841 at HO107 425 9 Page 3 in Ledbury, Herefordshire, aged 20, a female servant, and born in the county. Hard to say if she went back to Herefordshire and if this is even her.
I'm sure she'll 'turn up' sooner or later....somehow!!
Thanks for your help!

Hello, I'm not sure if you are local, but Ledbury to Upton is only a few miles over the Worcs- Herefordshire border. It is quite possible for your Pitt to have moved between the two.
I am from the family of Upton Pitts, but I have no Susannah in my tree yet. How does he fit in? Do you know who her parents were?

I am very interested in the Pitt family in Old St Upton-on severn. In the 1901 census Ann hemming was living in Old St with her nephew James Pitt. Ann hemming's father was William Pitt and she married William hemming. By 1901 she was 67 and widowed and working as a seamstress according to the kelly's directory. My interest in her is that my mother's mother was called Annie Hemming, gave birth to her in 1905 in Old St Upton but was obviously not the Ann Hemming I've been able to trace. My mother was then adopted by Blanche Fowler- also of Old St and her natural mother disappeared. I am wondering if there is a Pitt/hemming link or indeed if anyone else knows anything about Upton hemmings particularly Annie.

Hello and thanks for replying to my post. My computer was freezing and crashing :'(for a while and so I wasn't able to reply to your posts at all, but now I have a new computer and am trying to catch up with everything. I will reply in due course about the Pitts of Upton upon Severn.
Sorry for the big delay, but watch this space!
