Cheshire / Re: Mousedales and any variation thereof!
« on: Monday 12 April 21 23:00 BST (UK)  »
I guess the pool expands in proportion to the varied name spelling by clerics!
Given the proximity to Frodsham, your John M 1751 could well be cousin related to my Henry M 1769. Do let me know if I can help further.

I have a 'married into' connection to the Mousedales in the Frodsham area of Cheshire.

Thomas Jenkins (1825) (x3 Gt Uncle) of Manley, m Frances Done in 1851 Frodsham
Frances dau of John Done (1795) & Mary Moulsdale (1801)
Mary dau of Henry Moulsdale (1769) d 1857 Frodsham & Hannah ?

It's a bit convoluted with a spelling variation, but there may be a link.

Somerset / Quaker families in the Dunster area of Somerset
« on: Thursday 08 April 21 15:32 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the origins of a Virginia 'Hughes' Quaker family, that may have originated from the Dunster / Doniford area. Possible emigration 1640-80. There are number of Hughes/Huyish/Hewes in Dunster from parish records.
Does anyone know if Dunster had a Quaker community or meeting house in the 17th century? Any suggestions gratefully received with thanks.

Hopefully the birth certificate is the correct one and will provide some relevant information. Both girls are really hard to find anywhere!  I guess you have looked at her marriage certificate for potential father's name, and that of witnesses?

Roots chat is being difficult for me as well. I can only reply by clicking the link on my email notification.

Norah EEMP Sinclair looks to have married Arthur G Glenister in 1929 Hackney.
In 1939 Enfield there is a Norah Glenister (21/10/1893) widowed, with possibly 2 children (record closed)

Florence Augusta is very elusive. Closest I can find is 1939 Sevenoaks Kent:
Florence Evelyn Mary Augusta Squirrel, single, b.1898

I hope you get a positive response. If you Google 'St Johns School Sidmouth' there are some views of the former convent school - it looks quite impressive.

As an aside Cromwell acquired the New Hall Boreham estate for 5 shillings !

The convent looks to have been opened in 1884 and the building used for a preparatory school in the 1970's. In 1901 with over 40 people, it looks quite sizeable.
Sidmouth museum would be a first call, then Devon Heritage (archives) in Exeter - they may be able to direct you to Catholic Diocesan records for Devon.

New Hall Boreham was one of Henry's 'lost palaces' home to Mary Tudor and later acquired by Cromwell, before establishing as a school.

Happy hunting!

Hello,
Just a suggestion, I guess you have looked for an 1893 birth/baptism and on the 1911 Census?

It might be worth sending an email to Sidmouth Catholic Church, Sidmouth museum and Devon archives in Exeter.
I love a good mystery!

Philip
