Hi

Can anyone help me with locating the parents of Edward Darbishire and Mary Summerfield?

They were married on 21st April 1664 in Wem, Shropshire.

Also can you help with the parents of Johaness Latewood and Maria Payne who were married on 23rd February 1687 at Pulverbatch, Shropshire.

Many thanks

Hi

I am having trouble finding the marriage and birth of Samuel Sansum and Deborah. They had their son John baptised on 5th June 1744 at Dursley, Gloucestershire.

Now John was a Tailor, (he witnessed a marriage Bond in 1768, showing his occupation). This information was found on the Gloucestershire Archive website. On the same website you will see 2 Wills for a 'John Sansum', one 1732, (Occupation Weaver), and another 1749 (Occupation clothworker), both in Avening. It may be just coincidence but all 3 John Sansums are in the clothes trade, so is there a link here?

Thanks for reading this post.

Hi Everyone, can you help me in solving a who dunnitt?

I found the following which, at the time i believed was a my relative. It was an article relating to Lobster House Petty Sessions from the Yorkshire Gazette dated 10/12/1859,  I assume it should read....."labourers, all of Haxby", it states

"J. Agar, Esq., and the Rev. F. Simpson, William Pennystone, Francis Driffield, and William Pullan, labourers, all of IIaxby, were summoned for assanlting Mr. Bell, landlord of the Castle Howard Ox, Groves, on the sth ult. Fined 55., and costs 12s"

I based my assumption on the 1851 Haxby Census where you will see William Penneystone, (Ag Lab, born c1816) wife Jane. However, if you look at the 1861 Census you will see another William Penneystone, (Platelayer born c1821), wife Mary. I don't think they are one of the same person as they have different places of birth, but I am open to offers!!

I have checked and one of the other men charged, a Frances Driffield, who is a brick maker, is on both the 1851 and 1861 census at Haxby. However i cannot find a William Pullan at Haxby anywhere. I have also tried to find my William Penneystone on the 1861 census, but no luck.

I did contact York Archives who told me that they do not have any 19th century records for the court, (i understand the petty sessions were later renamed Magistrates courts).

I just favour it may be the Penneystone on the 1851 census as he had a son, George, and I have found from the York Herald dated 15th January 1859, (and yes, i know, you can't allege criminalty on the deeds of their father, or in this case visa versa!)

"Robbery at llaxby.—On Wednesday, at Messrs. Seymour's olfice, in this city, before T. Barstow, Esq., and J. Agar, Esq., George Penneystone, a small farmer, was charged with having stolen about two quarters of barley, of the value of 10s., the property of"

I also have something from a court just showing a George (Penneystone?),name, charge and sentence, (its from the 5th April 1859 Easter sessions at Northallerton). Can't remember where i got this from, probably FindMyPast.com). So I guess the same applies to George, would there be any other records of the court?

So can anyone help? I would hope there would be petty session records somewhere showing the age of the 3 defendants in the case. Does anyone know where they may be? I really would like to find out as the Castle Howard Ox pub still exists in York and I would love to surprise my sister when we go there.

Many thanks for reading this post.

Hi

I hold a 1768 marriage bond, (dated 1/7/1768), for a Samuel Aston and a Marry Rosall. It was found On-Line at Lancashire Archives and states that Mary Rosall was a widow aged 34. They were married in the parish of Poulton-Le-Fylde, (on 2/7/1768).

I assume the name Rosall would have been her 1st husbands surname. I have tried finding the 1st marriage and all i can come up with, that looks a possible, is a Richard Rosall marrying a Mary Hudson in Garstang in 1753, (12 miles away), but I cannot find a burial record for him.

Can some kind person help me out?

Many thanks

Hi

I have found within the collection, England, 'Staffordshire, Church Records, 1538-1944', on Familyhistory a baptism for Edward Harley 8/2/1735, Fathers name Harley, (very helpful!!), at St Augustine, Rugeley.

I don't see this collection on FindMyPast or Anc, or, if it is, it does not come up with a hit for Edward Harley. Has anyone got a CD or paper copies of the St Augustines parish records. If so could they possible have a shufty to see if  there is any more information held for the baptism?

NB Later baptisms from St Augustines do appear with more information on Anc

Many thanks.
