Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Joseph James bc 1840 Downend
« on: Wednesday 14 April 10 19:36 BST (UK)  »
Joseph James was my gg grandfather. Unfortunately with that common name I have found him difficult to track down in his early years. I have just sent for his marriage cert so that will help but can anyone find an obvious candidate in 1841 or 1861? Thanks Thelma

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Mary Ann Clements
« on: Wednesday 14 April 10 19:28 BST (UK)  »
Mary Ann Clements was born c1837 in Downend. She married Joseph James in 1865. I have just sent for their marriage certificate but I wondered if anyone can find her with her family in 1841 or 1851? I know I should wait to get her father's name but I may be lucky! Thanks Thelma

Gloucestershire / old letters
« on: Wednesday 07 April 10 19:24 BST (UK)  »
I have several letters dating from 1831-1881. They were found in a filing cabinet which came from a school when it closed down. I have tried to read them and they seem to be about A clergy daughters school at Gloucester and Bristol also Spa church Christ church Gloucester. Their content is about staff resignations, statements about affairs to be wound up and new schools opening.

These are the names involved.
Dr Charles MAYO
Miss Charlotte ANLEY headmistress
Rev R HOLMES minister of Christ church Gloucester died 6th May 1867
Dr MAITLAND
Essex? BOWEN

There are more names but I cannot work them out. I would love to give these letters to someone either related to one of these people or else just interested in researching the schools. Anyone any ideas?

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Thomas Knott Goodwin 1851 census
« on: Saturday 20 December 08 15:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All
My gg grandfather was Thomas Knott Goodwin born c1827 Shelve/Shell Mill which apparently is hanbury. I have information about him from 1861-1900. He married Elizabeth Partington in 1853 -just realised I have not sent for his marriage cert which would answer part of my question! I will send for it as soon as I finish this message. Does anyone have access to A****** . They have the 1851 census and hopefully that would give me his parents names?

I know he was a tea dealer and have the info from the London Gazette about the partnership being dissolved but still do not have his parents.

Thanks Thelma  :-*

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / John Naish 1861 census
« on: Monday 19 November 07 08:06 GMT (UK)  »
Could SKS try to find John NAISH born c1835 Pucklechurch in the 1861 census. I have him for all other dates apart from 1841. In 1851 he was living in Twerton Bath with his parents, William and Elizabeth. In 1866 he married Louisa Gunter and was living in Marsh Land St Phillips Bristol.

I have the marriage cert and John is given as widowed so I would like to find his first marriage. There is a possible marriage in Bristol in Dec 1860 . The two possible wives are Ellen Derrick and Elizabeth Fowler also there is a marriage in Bath Jun 1860 and the wife is Elizabeth Lansdown. I hope that if I can find him in 1861 he is living in either Bristol/Bath with either an Ellen or Elizabeth.

Many thanks Thelma  ;)

Somerset Completed Lookup Requests / James POPE/Maria DOWLING Frome
« on: Sunday 23 September 07 19:30 BST (UK)  »
Could SKS find the marriage of James to Maria. Maria was born in 1812 in West Woodlands which is Frome. I think James also came from the same area but I do not know when he was born. I suppose they would have married c 1832. I am just going to have another look at the Frome website but if anyone can help I would be very grateful.

Sussex Lookup Requests / George Hoather c1793 Lewes
« on: Monday 13 August 07 20:14 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help with the birth/baptism, parents of George Hoather born c1793 Lewes. I have all the census information about him. He married Ann Edstrom on 15th March 1823. She came from Lyndhurst but I do not know where the marriage took place.

I know there were a lot of Hoathers from Sussex but I am trying to find how this one (my 3g grandfather) fits in with a family tree of Hoathers that someone has produced.

Thanks Thelma

Sussex Lookup Requests / Marriage Cutress/Bartlett
« on: Wednesday 06 June 07 19:07 BST (UK)  »
Could SKS find a marriage for Susanna Cutress bc1753 and James Bartlett bc1755 in Sussex? Presumably the marriage would have been circa 1773 and as their son Thomas was born in Patcham I would hope that that was where the marriage took place.
Many thanks Thelma
