Shropshire Lookup Requests / Thomas Butcher Base born to Mary Butcher 1795
« on: Wednesday 07 December 16 11:36 GMT (UK) »
Hi could someone be kind enough to look to see if any bastardy records exist for Mary Butcher please who had Thomas Baptised in Kinlet 1795.
I finally tracked down where he was from after a brick wall of 10 years only to come to a standstill again on his fathers line !
Thanks in advance
Ian

Warwickshire / Re: Ada Bunch (b. 1880) - potential black ancestor?
« on: Tuesday 06 December 16 00:24 GMT (UK) »
I've been researching the Price line for quite some years,I'm related through James Price born in Droitwich 1828 son of Joseph and Mary Ann Price.
I've lots of information on the Price family baptisms marriages etc as I live in Droitwich which I must get around to adding add to my Ancestry tree !
Mary is the mother of James and it shows she was born in Exeter,I've looked into the fact it could be Joseph Price the soldier that married Mary Ann Griggs in 1806.
All the children in Droitwich were born from 1811 onwards and two baptisms are particularly interesting,one for Mary Ann Gregg Price the daughter of Joseph and Caroline born 1835 and another Mary Ann Gregg Price born 1842 daughter of Richard and Christiana.
Richard was James brother they're on the 1841 census with their mother Mary living in
Tower Hill Droitwich.
This links Richard and James together and it's strange that Joseph Price also has a daughter Mary Ann Gregg Price too,so I was very hopefull that this linked things togther nicely and Mary was from Exeter and married Joseph who was a soldier and just needed to find him.
I found a record for a Joseph Price being discharged from the 43rd Regiment of foot after 21 years service in 1827 who was discharged at Devonport and after readin through this http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/1911_BNJ_8_15.pdf seems like he could have been in England to have been the father of Joseph baptism 18 June 1809 St Sidwells Exeter.
There are two problems with this even though it looked really promising and that's firstly Joseph and Mary had children in or around these dates taking into account we only have baptism dates to go by for births.
Thomas baptised 1st December 1811,William 15 May 1814,John 29 December 1816,Richard 29 August 1819,Daniel 24 March 1822,David and Soloman twins 23 February 1825 and James 4 May 1828.
The problem being finding out if Joseph was back in England to be the father of these children.
Second every baptism after John it states Joseph was a waterman so surely it would have stated he was a soldier ? Forgot to mention the document states Joseph was born at St Swithuns Worcester,I've found a baptism for a Joseph baptised 15 August 1783 St Swithuns parents William and Elizabeth.
So I thought ok I'll look for a waterman that fits the bill ( I've several who worked on boats mostly taking salt from Droitwich)
And I found one,what was interesting about it was I found it after reading your post singerjess about your friend and Ada Bunch the granddaughter of Joseph.
The record was a Merchant seaman ticket from 1845 which states Joseph was born in Droitwich November 1785 had grey hair hazel eyes was 5ft 7 with complexion stated as dark !
Now the fact that this was 1845 even though obviously it doesn't mean he was black I've read that sometimes this was how they referred to them.
I also noticed that every person on that page had a dark complexion and again because of the time period I could imagine these poor people being made to stand in line separately from everyone else so that would explain that.
Both are very interesting,although not enough to go on just yet to confirm either as Joseph !
This link also seems to show the whereabouts of the 43rd during the time Joseph Price the soldier was in it

Sorry if this was a bit of a ramble !

Thankyou keziahemm I have used the igi before and I found some notes I made about the Brimfield christenings!
Im a bit disorganised like that especially if its a line I haven't looked at for a while.
Now just to confirm thats my Maria,if anyone has an Ancestry subscription could they check this census and see if they think it says Brimfield as the place of birth for Maria?
RG9/2109/72/ p 21
Many Thanks
Ian
