Looking for any help with the children of John and Mary Pengelly
They were married in Marldon Devon 1811 ,and they had John Wotton Pengelly (Stonehouse 1813) and Mary (Brixham 1818) in Devon and according to English Census details a futher 3 in Guernsey, Sedonia Sarah ,Ellen and Thomas Theodore sometime around 1820-1830 approx.

I would love to be able to find out when and where they were  born ,and if there were more of them,did they stay ?.No idea when they went over and how long they stayed all I have is sometime between 1818 (Marys Birth) and by the 1841 census when they were in London .The father John was a carpenter and was presumably working on one of the many buildings being built on the Island,is it possible they would have been on the 1827 census?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Devon Lookup Requests / Yeampton Parish records 1700's -Can anybody help with this?
« on: Wednesday 18 March 15 16:40 GMT (UK)  »
 Hi
According to England Select Births and Yealmpton Parish records on IGI Devon.

Richaurd Pengilley was Baptised 24 Nov 1710 and sadly died 21 Feb 1711 his/her parents were Henry and Richaurd Pengilley.

There are a another 4 children born in that period in Yealmpton to a Henry Pengilley sadly only one has the wife's name and that is for Samuell, Baptised 7 Feb 1720 to Henry and a Richord. (England Births & Christenings)

Is there anyone out there who has access to the records who can decipher what Henry's wife was called.
Thanks for reading

Devon Lookup Requests / Jacob Pengelly -Will 1726 -Latin Translation ?
« on: Tuesday 30 December 14 12:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
      Spent the last couple of days pouring over the will of a JACOB PENGELLY dated 26 May 1726 -Peter Tavy (listed on "Ancestry") ,my first encounter with a will written in Latin ! a whole new layer of argghhh ,not only cannot read the writting but is that a persons name or an item of his estate?

      I eventually worked out a Winfred and John Ellacott  mentioned ,which when I cross reference it against the Devon Consolidated Wills ("Find my Past " ?) I come up with an entry for a Winifred Ellacott,alias Cole alias Clarke alias Pengelly !! ,will dated 1732  she married 3 times ? and Pengelly was her maiden name?

A trawl through IGI gives me a Winifred (Mrs) Cole marries John Ellacott 1720 and a Winifred Ellacott marries a Peers Clarke 1732 which all seems to fit nicely but cannot get a marriage for her to a Cole or any deaths for her husbands or dates of birth .
And I still don't know what her relationship is to Jacob Pengelly  who seems to have been a Bachelor of Physic / Medicine and looks to be part of the Sortridge Pengelly's.

Any brave souls out there who  can understand/translate Latin and can help me find out how they are related would be greatly appreciated.

And a Happy New Year to all fellow "searchers"

Devon Lookup Requests / John Pengelly -Of Devonport 1780/90's ?
« on: Wednesday 03 December 14 16:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi 

  My GGG-Grandfather a John Pengelly was born sometime in the 1780/1790's.
He dies in 1878 aged 86 making his date of birth 1792ish
On the 1851 census his place of birth is Devonport ,1861 Devon and in 1871 it is Newport,Devon .

I was always of the opinion that Newport was just that the New port in Plymouth which later became known as Devonport, rather than Newport which is an area near Barnstable ? Is this a reasonable assumption? Or am I looking in the wrong area ?

The area of Devonport is/was? in the parish of Stoke Damerel ,I am unable to get to Devon at the moment would it be possible for some kind soul to do a search for any Pengelly Baptisms in the 1780-1790s period in the parish.
On IGI I have found one John in that time period and that is for the 20th April 1780 but that seems a little too early to me .

Thanks
Paul

Hello.
       Trying to trace the last resting place of Ellen Pengelly born Ellen Wheal ,Gretna ,Scotland 1843.

She was the Housekeeper of the Reverend John Wotton Pengelly and his wife Sarah in Blackburn Lancashire for 15+ years then when Sarah died he resigned his position at St Michael and all Angels after 30+ years ......and marries Ellen some 30 years younger than him in Worcester,before becoming the Vicar at Aylburton/Alvington!
He dies in 1898 and is buried alongside his 1st wife in St James ,Altham Lancs some 170+ miles away.

I have traced Ellen from Aylburton,to Wibdon/Stroat and finally Gower Villa in Woodcroft,then  in June 1924 she dies and is buried in "Tutshill Church" ,would that be St Luke's  or possibly St Michael and all Angels at Tidenham Chase (which has a certain touce of fate about it)

Does anybody out there have any access to the relevant burial records,monumental inscriptions,or wills,for this lady? .

She may be buried near or with a William (1945) and Margaret Agnes Evans (1974) ,Margaret was her niece also from Gretna who came to live with her when John Wotton Pengelly died ,and in a strange twist of fate Margaret then marries William Evans who had been hired as their General Labourer/Domestic.

It would be nice to pay my respects to them all .

Thanks for reading

Lancashire / St James Altham, Lancs - Grave Lookup
« on: Saturday 02 August 14 13:27 BST (UK)  »
Hello - Long Shot I know
I am looking for help with the Inscription on the "Family Vault" for Sarah  and Reverend John Wotton Pengelly buried at St James Altham Lancs

Sarah was buried 10th March 1882,John was buried 10th March 1898
The Rev John Wotton had conducted some burials at St James but was mostly based in Blackburn.

Why they should be buried in Altham is a mystery ,her family (Couperthwaite) were all buried in Dalton -in -Furness and he was from Devon and apart from Officiating there a couple of times can see no link with Altham


Apparently the Lancs Family History did a survey on St James Altham inscriptions but it is not online ,does anybody have access to that

Thanks for reading

Looking for help from somebody who could look-up where the Reverend John Wotton Pengelly (71) married his  Domestic servant of over 10 years, Ellen Wheal (40)

He had resigned from St Michael and all Angels in Blackburn Lancashire 1883,and taken up the position at Alvington Gloucestershire 1884,they then get married according to the BMD in AMJ 1884 in Worcester,they are nonresident so it would have been by licence.

I have tried on line at "The Hive",and have come up with Volume 3.Page 176?.could somebody have a look for me please,I have no idea what a licence shows if anything and wether they are there or at the church? .At least I would like to know what church he was married in so I could visit sometime.

Thanks

Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Marston Trussell,Gardiner family
« on: Thursday 16 May 13 09:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello Northamptonshire Board

It seem that the John Gardiner I am searching for was married in Marston Trussell 30Th June 1799
to a Elizabeth Chapman,both of the parish .

Would it be possible for some kind person to help me find out more about these families a bit futher back in Northamptonshire?.

They move to Kibworth Beauchamp and Harcourt in Leicestershire around 1804 have a family there,then disappear for the 1841 census,I have a death for John in 1847 in Market Harborough Workhouse,but nothing for Elizabeth.

I have 2 Wedding certificates for their eldest child Thomas Chapman Gardiner ,on the first in 1840
father is listed as a Gent,on the second in 1868 father is listed as deceased former Labourer,which is quite a career change!,but fits in with the Workhouse death.

any help greatly appreciated

Paul

Has anybody got the Kibworth Beauchamp/Harcourt parish records at hand to search ?

From IGI
I have a Thomas Chapman Gardiner born 14th July 1818,bapt 25th Jan 1819 to a John and Elizabeth Gardiner at Kibworth Beauchamp,is this correct?
 And is there any trace of a marriage of a John Gardiner to an Elizabeth,possibly a Chapman around that period? .
It could be Beauchamp or Harcourt as they seem to have connections to both,Thomas marrying in 1868 at the Independant Chapel in Harcourt.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Paul
