Completed Census Requests / Re: 1871 Census look up for Washington, Sussex
« on: Monday 25 July 22 12:20 BST (UK)  »
Hi Gill

Yes Bath is lovely, did you visit "The Crescent" - quite stunning?

Pleased to hear you've kept on with the family history.  I'm not surprised you're having trouble with the Kenchetts.  Is it down to the spelling of the name changing over the years?

Ohh  :D  check you out, right back to the times of Anne Boleyn.  You've done well to get back that far but, I'm guessing Sir Frances Weston was "post" so it's far more likely there will be records.  Much more so than for commoners like me.

Where on FB did you suggest a re-union?  I did bump into Julie Griffiths last year in Tesco.  I heard this voice say "is that Mrs. Swietlik?"   She was just the same, just slimmer (like you!)

Hi Gill

Yes it is me, I should have recognised it being you from your login name.  ;D

I posted that message years ago when we'd been talking about the Kenchett name and you showed me that photo of your ancestor taken outside a shop in Findon village.

Have you managed to find out anymore?

I trust you're keeping well?  Shame about your holiday being cancelled but how was the spa?

Hi Gillian

Thanks for your message but I think I started the thread quite some time ago.  I was doing a bit of research for someone I used to work with also by the name of Gillian.  Would that be you from the old L&E days?

Evening all - don't you just love it when Ancestry has had a free weekend?

Fordyce - Benjamin and Betty Jagger are not in Thornton in 1841, they are still in Clayton.  In fact I don't think they ever moved.

Hi guys

Thank you for your continued input.

Arthurk, if you look at the reply from Fordyce it doesn't look as if Benjamin remarried.

Pennines - I don't have an Ancestry subscription but will delve more the next time I'm at the library.

Arthurk - With regard to other siblings, I have Jonas, Mercy, one Henry, Harriet then, after a long gap, Jarvis and lastly Daniel.  Now I have the Ancestry tip I will take another look.

Good evening everyone and thank you to one and all for your input!

Viktoria - thank you so much for the background information

Arthurk - Jarvis's father, as noted on his marriage cert to Mary Bland, was Benjamin, a weaver of Clayton Heights.  I have a baptism for him in 1785 at Kipping.  I have a marriage for Benjamin in 1805 at Bradford to Betty Wood.

Trish - yes, see above

Fordyce - no, not the same Benjamin, see above

Bushinn1746 - thank you for the link to Clayton by Mr and Mrs Hirst.  I came across this the other day and this is what has re=awakened my interest in Jarvis's baptism.  Thank you so much for the newspaper clippings, are they available online?  I wonder what sort of game was being played in 1852?

Many thanks
Jan

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Non Conformist Baptism
« on: Friday 10 August 18 13:54 BST (UK)  »
Good afternoon all

I have just discovered my ancestor could not have been baptised in his local church/chapel as there wasn't one until approx. 10 years after he was born.  However, non-conformists were able to worship at "Old Dolphin" at Clayton from 1807 but I don't know if baptisms were allowed.

Therefore does anyone know if the records from circa 1820 to 1824 are available online for Birstall and Shelf please?

I am looking for Jarvis Jagger (sometimes noted as Gerves/Garves and Jaggar/Jaggars/Jaggers) born circa 1822.  The family lived at Clayton but as there was nowhere to worship, apart from "Old Dolphin", and people would travel as far away as Birstall and Shelf.

TIA

Good afternoon everyone

I wondered if anyone knows if the parish Marriage records for Thakeham, parish records are available online?  I have a civil registration of a marriage of Thomas Golds to Margaret Weston in the December quarter of 1929 but I'm having trouble getting the birth of Thomas.  Margaret hasn't been at all problematical!

Many thanks in anticipation
Jan
