Cheshire / Bastardy Case - c1830's.
« on: Friday 18 August 23 05:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

Would someone be able to check if there was a Bastardy case mentioning my man 'John GARSIDE' as reputed father.  He was born Cheshire c1810 and transported 1836.  Records show he used the alias 'SMITH'.

His court records show that he had been in gaol once previously for Bastardy, and was married with one child.  Who he was married to or who the child was I am unsure.  I'm wondering if he them married the child's mother.  At the time of transportation he was supposedly residing in Newton.

Thanks in advance.

Surrey / Susannah SPONG d.1702... What do additional notes mean?
« on: Wednesday 29 March 23 12:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi team,

Susannah/Susan SPONG was the first wife of my 8th gr grandfather Owen SPONG, although I can't actually find a marriage.  Susannah was buried at St. Lawrence, Chobham on 21 April 1702, as wife of Owen SPONG.

It seems in the notes it reads: Affidavit made 26 Apr.  What would this be referring to?!

Owen remarried a month later.

Shropshire / Abraham BAGNALL
« on: Friday 15 April 22 01:54 BST (UK)  »
Hello Team,

I'm on the hunt for the baptism of Abraham BAGNALL.  From census he states he was born in Shropshire between 1801 (1851 census) and 1803 (1861 census), no town of village mentioned, just Shropshire. 

Abraham married at Sedgley, Staffs to Elizabeth STEVENSON on 29 Aug 1825.  I have not seen this certificate for witnesses. All issue born in Staffs, I think. 
1841. Resident of Bilston near Wolverhampton.  Can't make out Occupation.
1851. Resident of Darlaston.  Miner.
1861. Resident of Bloxwich.  Coal Miner.
He was buried at Bloxwich 19 Apr 1867.

Online tree's have him born in Ireland and all over the place so any assistance is appreciated as always.  There is a possibility there is an Abraham BAGNALL who WAS born in Ireland at a similar time possibly ending up in New South Wales.

Best,

bitzar.

Sussex / Thomas Weeks / Weekes / Wicks of Wadhurst.
« on: Thursday 17 February 22 05:24 GMT (UK)  »
Thomas is driving me crazy!

My ancestors, Thomas WICKS and Elizabeth CHANDLER were wed at Wadhurst on 25 Oct 1761... or were they.

Their issue, all baptised at Wadhurst:

Elizabeth - bp 1769
James - bp 1771 m Mary REEVES 1793 at Wadhurst
Samuel - bp 1774 m Jane GROVES 1800 at Ticehurst
John - bp 1776 m Philadelphia AKEHURST 1797 at Wadhurst
William - bp 1777 m Hannah c.1798
Alexander - bp 1780 m Elizabeth BONES 1801 at Mayfield.

James and Mary baptised a son Thomas, 15 May 1803
Samuel and Jane baptised a son Thomas, 14 Aug 1803
William and Hannah baptised a son Thomas, 30 Jan 1802
and it's probable although I cant find a baptism that,
Elizabeth, wife of Andrew gave birth to a son Thomas c.1803.

Odd that John and Philadelphia do not seem to have a son named Thomas.

I'm attempting to sort out all the Thomas', it's a past project I'm taking out of the 'too hard basket'.

The link is a previous post about MY Thomas WEEKS, born Wadhurst, who married Hannah AKEHURST at Heathfield in 1822.  I do not know who his parents are but am leaning toward James and Mary.

I have accounted for:

Thomas, s/of William and Hannah by is MC
Thomas, s/of Samuel and Jane by 1841/1851 census
Thomas, s/of Andrew and Elizabeth.  A Thomas Weeks is living by a Reuben Weeks, and nearby Andrew Weeks on 1841 census.  Reuben is Andrew's son.

I could go on...

Nottinghamshire / PALMER of Whitehouses, Retford.
« on: Tuesday 11 January 22 01:28 GMT (UK)  »
hi team,

I have my PALMER family who were 'of Whitehouses' in the mid 1700's.

Would Whitehouses be as in the actual Pub or was it a locale/village.  The church records seem to be Ordsall.

Richard PALMER was buried 1728 of Whitehouses, and
Richard PALMER was buried 1757 of Whitehouses at Ordsall.

New Zealand Completed Requests / 18th Irish Regiment 1850's-1860's.
« on: Friday 19 November 21 04:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi team NZ

Would anyone know anything about foot soldiers of the Irish 18th what arrived in NZ 1850's-1860's?  I'm looking for a John McCARTHY of Lismore, Co. Waterford, wife, and children and probably issue whilst in NZ.

The family ended up in Melbourne with John being Verger of St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral prior to his death in 1882.

Suffolk / Is it Shippon or Skippen or Skippin or Skipper or Shippen?!
« on: Thursday 06 May 21 11:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks

This ones been in 'the too hard basket' for about 25 years!

I believe this is my x4 gr grandfather:

James HOWLETT
bp: 01 Sep 1776, Archdeaconry of Sudbury s/of Francis HOWLETT and Mary.

On the 1851 he said he was born at Woolpit, a fair distance from Sudbury.

James married Mary SHIPPEN at Wetheringsett on 04 Apr 1797.

Mary SHIPPON
bp: 06 Feb 1774, Sudbury d/of David SHIPPON and Elizabeth.

On the 1851 she said she was born at Wetheringsett, also a fair distance from Sudbury.

Their children are baptised at Woolpit between 1797 and 1815.

I am stuck with anything further on the SHIPPON / SKIPPEN, etc family.  Could if be the many spellings of the name?!  Also Sudbury, why be baptised so far from home and not just one family?!

Thanks,

bitzar.

EDIT: James' siblings I have found some baptised at Sudbury and some at Woolpit.
