Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: John Henry Harber Staffordshire
« on: Saturday 02 May 20 22:11 BST (UK) »
Hi Sami,
Found the time to explore the Harber Family tree again. I'm still trying to work out who was my great grandfather's natural father. I'm thinking of taking a DNA test after this lockdown is over.
I was contacted by a distant relative recently (her great grandmother was the eldest sister to my great grandmother, Sarah Anne, who married Edward Thomas Perry aka Herbert, half brother of your great grandfather John Henry Harber/Herbert), which was great as she was able to send me a couple of photos of these ancestors.
I was wondering if you had any pics of your relatives, John Henry Harber and Lily, or your grandmother, that you might share. Always good to see if there are any family likenesses. Unfortunately I have very few pics of that side of the family.
My email address is (*)
Hope you are well.
Best wishes
Jane Morwood

Worcestershire / Re: 1927 census of Blockley Worcestershire
« on: Thursday 25 January 18 23:36 GMT (UK) »
Thankyou PaulineJ and Greli. I of course meant Rev Eyre's 1827 Census of Blockley, which I have now found online. I found two Taplin families living in Blockley and Paxford. My x3 ggrandma was Hannah Taplin born 1800 in Paxford. These most likely were relatives. She had married Charles Rose and moved to Mickleton by 1827. Their son, Robert Rose, was born in 1827, and was buried the same year at Weston Subedge. This is another piece of the family history jigsaw.

Is there an online version of the Rev. Soden's Blockley Census of 1827? Looking for Canning, Purser, Taplin and Rose.

Thanks ShaunJ - I'll definitely pursue this. I have a few details, see below, but not the cause of his death or any other details.
I know his ship, the John and Robert arrived at Tobago on 17 March 1825, referring to the Master as Scott (Lloyds list). Lloyds list for July 15 1825 reports the John and Robert returned to Bristol on 13 July 1825, referring to the Master as 'late Scott'.
'Records of Bristol Ships 1800 - 1830', by Grahame Farr, indicates that George Mason was appointed Master of the John and Robert at Tobago on 10 May 1825.
Thomas Scott's burial record was dated 28 April 1825.
Many thanks and Merry Christmas.
