Hi

I too am trying to find a link between Francis and Peter. Have you had any luck?

Kind Regards Clare Noyce

Hi

You probaly already know this as your post was a long time ago. I can confirm that you are correct and Hester was Sarah Hardwidges daughter father unkown. Sarah was the child of Robert and Ester nee Masters. Robert was the brother of John Hardwidge born 1727 in Compton Bishop and in my direct line. Their parents were John and Betty who had a total of 6 children.

Hi

Sorry I've not replied before but I haven't done family research for a long time. So not come onto this site. I have lots of info on the Hardwidge family if you have any gaps you want to fill. I have just confirmed that William Hardwidge had two more sigblings. I found them years ago in the census for the Axbridge workhouse but have only just got confirmation on their parentage.

Aparently My couisin Mel West knew someone decended from the Sullivans. I think I have every thing covered regarding Tealaw Cemetry, thanks. Years ago a gentleman in the Library helped me out with that.

Take Care

Thanks everyone

I have obtained 2 birth certificates. The one for 1857 was born on the 18th January mother Mary Jane James no father, and no mention of the middle name Frances. As she states in the 1939 census that her birthday is on the 2nd may I have discounted that one.
I also got the one for 1862  with the Wheeler as the mothers Maiden name. The date of bith is 27th feb fathers name Joseph mother Elizabeth late Wakley formaly Wheeler. Again no mention of a middle name.

As for the one in the workhouse I have been unable to find a birth registration. She is the one I think may be correct, as she has a brother called George, also in the workhouse.

Regarding William I haven't yet obtained the birth certificate for the James Samual Cheeseborough James. I thought maybe the Cheeseborough might be the fathers surname, but the surname Cheeseborough is very much a more northern surname. Only one born south of Watford before and that is a female.

I do have another candidate for William, but it is difficult to know if he was calling himself James or Constable. There is a William James Constable living in Redruth who married a Wilmot Emmett in 1816. I have considered this one because when I was younger it was mentioned that someone from Cornwall rang my grandmother ( who died in 1988) claiming to be related vis the Constable line.

My next thought is to order the birth certificate for William Samuel Cheeseborough James. and the marriage certificate for William James Constable, but not sure if the service is still up and functioning. Also you never know if they are going to tell the truth.

It seems that they are both elusive and I don't want to go off on the wrong line.

Thanks for the help

Hi

Iamresearching the Carroll family for my Stepfather. He knows very little about them.

We are looking for the birth of his Uncle Mark. The only Mark we can find at about the right date, is in your area. Born in Keithley 1897. His fathers name would be Michael born circa 1882.
 Do you have any information on them?
