Surrey / Re: Is this likely - Richard Head marriage in Byfleet 1802
« on: Sunday 09 October 11 22:39 BST (UK)  »
HI Claire,

Many thanks for this, wonder why I missed it in the parish record... Could it be that the marriage is much earlier? I've had this before where there are 2 families with the same named parents, and Head isn't an uncommon name.

Surrey / Is this likely - Richard Head marriage in Byfleet 1802
« on: Sunday 09 October 11 18:44 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

I am tracing a branch of the the Head family who resided in Chobham in the early 1800's. The info I have so far is that Stephen Head, my umpteen great grandfather, was baptised in Chobham on 11 June 1815, the son of Richard and Elisabeth. He had 1 brother (James, bap 30 June 1811) and 2 sisters (Sarah, bap 20 Sep 1806, and Charlotte, bap 22 may 1808).

I cannot find a marriage of Richard and Elisabeth in Chobham, but did locate one for Richard Head and Elizabeth Spong in Byfleet on 22 August 1802.

Thing is they disappear from 1802 to 1806 when they crop up in Chobham. I have checked all the surrounding parishes and cannot find them.

So is it possible that they didn't have any children till 1806, or have I missed something?

Any ideas?

Buckinghamshire / Re: Seeking info on Thomas Wooster of Turvile
« on: Saturday 27 August 11 13:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi.

Many thanks for this info, but the baptism I am referring to is in Turvill near Stokenchurch rather than Westen Turvill near Wendover. There are a great many Woosters in Wendover at the time and this odd baptism in Turvill. I have since found that the Turvill Thomas and Elisabeth lived in North End, which is so close to the border with Oxon that it was in Oxfordshire for may years.

Thing is it looks like Wooster is a rare name in Oxon so the mystery remains, at present... mysterious.

Still once again many thanks for this info.

No problem. Can't colour I'm afraid - beyond my skills - but I'll see what I can do and perhaps someone else might be able to help re colour.

Dear John,

I'm guessing you'd like this restored? Please confirm and I'll have a look at it.

Cornwall Lookup Requests / Baptism of Mary A HOCKING - Truro c1845
« on: Saturday 13 August 11 21:17 BST (UK)  »
Dear all,

Mary A (perhaps Ann[e]) Hocking was apparently born in Truro 5 May 1845 to John Hocking and ? I have this information from another researcher as part of their extensive tree. We connect a long time ago, but Mary Anne is a closer link to my family. Problem is I cannot verify her birth at all and my fellow researcher was unable to remember where they found this info.

Can someone please check the Truro parish record for May 1845 and let me know if there is a M A Hocking listed?

Thank you in hope.

Hi there,

Here is my effort. One of the problems you have with the original is that there are a lot of jpg encoding artifacts around the lady's face. This adds to the grain of the image and are tricky to get rid of. If you have a scan in tiff format that would be useful.
