Staffordshire / Re: Lynel family of Staffordshire
« on: Saturday 30 March 19 06:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm back with some updated information but sadly none the wiser and something just doesn't match up here (sigh).

Quote:
You should also look at the Staffordshire name index
Two Wills on there:
Thomas Lynell 1750 Eccleshall and Thomas 1682 Walton Hurst, Eccleshall.

I've obtained these wills on the Lynel families of Walton Hurst which has given further information.

All the help you gave seems to match up but this is baffling me.

My Ellen Dean who names in her will dated 1766 her brother Thomas Lynel of Walton Hurst and also her sisters Elisabeth Podmore, Mary and Ellen Lynel. The witness on her will is Henry Lynel who signs his own name.

I found the Henry Lynel's will dated 1767 of Walton Hurst and the signatures match on both wills.

Quote:
Found Elizabeth's marriage to George Padmore and it is way out from Staffordshire.
St Margaret's Westminster 1764 according to Boyd's marriage index.
Elizabeth Linnell and George Padmore.

In Henry's will, he mentions his nephew Thomas and nieces Elisabeth wife of George Podmore (see above quote), Mary Lynel and Ellen Lynel now the wife of John Green. Henry also gives 5 pounds to Thomas and Ellen Turner children of the first wife of Simon Turner (see below quote) together with William Dean of Ellenhall Park (son of Ellen). Ellen Wilcox daughter of Thomas Wilcox & Ellin Lynel married Simon Turner 1738 Stafford, Staffordshire.

quote:
There's also another Ellin Lynel marrying Thomas Wilcox 1.5.1709.

My Ellin Dean who in her will names her brother and sisters as Lynil can't be their siblings but must be related somehow to this Lynel family.

I can't find any marriage of Ellin to William Dean, is it possible they never actually married and could this Ellin be the one who married Simon Turner but never divorced ???

I also can't find a death for Ellin Turner (wife of Simon) or of William Dean husband of Ellin and on Ellin's will dated 1766 she states she's a widow ????

I'm totally baffled and any ideas or help would be fantastic.

Kind regards
Adrian

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Help !
« on: Wednesday 06 March 19 11:05 GMT (UK)  »

I've just received my DNA results and as expected 94.8% British but 5.2% Asia (Northwest Caucasus) which was a total surprise. How accurate is 5.2 %? I have found via documentation two Irish family lines and the DNA results stated 7.1% Irish. I'm not sure how I could follow up on this Northwest Caucasus line? Any ideas? ;D

The Common Room / Alias surnames
« on: Saturday 16 June 18 09:24 BST (UK)  »

Hi everyone.

I'm wondering what alias surnames other researchers have uncovered that are strange or weird, I've uncovered a few but they've had some connection to the original surname or profession of the person. I've just uncovered this gem which has enabled me to break down a brick wall. I found it by chance because it's just plain odd  ???

Richard Anybody (alias Howell) married Margareet Gaskine 1668 Rowley Regis, Staffordshire

I've found a couple of documents mentioning Richard's family including my direct ancestor Gilbert Howell but found very little on any other family using the surname Anybody ???

I thought it may have been a miss-transcribe but then I found this on the National Archives:

Short title: Ward v Birch.

Plaintiffs: Humble Ward and Henry Pynley.

Defendants: Thomas Birch, John Finch, William Haughton and Richard Anybody alias Powell.

Subject: property in Dudley etc, Staffordshire and Worcestershire.

Document type: bill and answer

Date:1652
Held by:   The National Archives, Kew

Vet odd  ;D

Staffordshire / Lichfield Wills Index ?
« on: Saturday 17 March 18 11:56 GMT (UK)  »

Hello, everyone and hope all is well,

I've never noticed previously but my ancestor's will is listed on the Index of Wills - Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, 1620-1780, however, I've just noticed something that's confusing me:

Personal Details
Surname: Hide
Forename(s): Lydia

Place of Residence: Wednesbury
County: Staffordshire

Occupation / Status:Widow

Type of Document Recorded
Will: Yes
Letter of Administration: No
Inventory of Goods: Yes

Date Recorded: 26 Jul 1727

Diocese of Lichfield
Reference:
P/C/11

I'm puzzled because all the other wills that I've checked for Wednesbury are held under
Lichfield Consistory Court B/C/11

My ancestor's will is held under Peculiar courts P/C11 and other wills held here were usually some distance from the Wednesbury area.

Is it possible that my ancestor held some land interests outside of the Wednesbury area?

She was Bapt' at Great Barr, Staffordshire but I've found very little else in her family except her father was John Cox.

Typically the Peculiar courts' wills are not yet available to view online.

It just seems strange to me that the other Wednesbury wills were not proved at the Peculiar courts.

Any ideas?

Kind regards
Adrian Powell

Hi,

This is the image I believe is my ancestors' marriage entry June 17th as mentioned.

Any idea what the surname is? It's prior to of this town.

It's a long shot but maybe some ideas?

Many thanks

Hi,

I believe I may have finally found the marriage entry for George & Elizabeth but of course, I've found another issue  ;D

The information written in the original parish records is faded and almost impossible to read however I believe there is enough to indicate this is the correct entry:

Saint Bartholomew, Wednesbury, Staffordshire, England
17 June 1700
George H??? of Walsall married Elizabeth ?? of this town

 I know it's a long shot but any ideas on how I could clarify this?

Is there a transcript of the Wednesbury parish records?

Any help would be fantastic but I know it's a long shot.

Kind regards
Adrian
