Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Withers family in Hambledon
« on: Wednesday 24 January 18 16:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, I wonder if someone might be able to help me - I am on the trail of Walter John Withers (m. Eliza Gillo Jun 1852 Droxford). From Cristening records I can see they had the following children, all christened in Hambledon:

Walter (1852)
James (1854)
Betsey (1856)
Alice (1857)
Edward Gillo (1859)
Eliza (1865)
Annie Lydia (1874)

I have been trying to find them in the 1861 census but to no avail - can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi, I wonder if anyone might be able to help me - the head of the family in the census return I am looking at has father's birthplace as what looks like UK, but I am very certain his father was actually born in France, on the Cote d'Armor. Am I reading the census return incorrectly, or does it indeed say UK? (The family in the return are in Jersey, C.I.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Laura

Dorset / James Maidment (1778-1862)
« on: Tuesday 28 June 16 17:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, I have found a record of my husband's 4xgreat grandfather James Maidment marrying Hannah James on 30 May 1803 in Tarrant Rawston. However, I'm having trouble tracing back from Hannah, as I can't find a baptism for a Hannah James anywhere local. (The only one I found within the right sort of time-frame was in Bridport, which I thought might be too far away.) According to the 1841 census she was born in Dorset, but I've searched the Dorset records and found nothing.

Does anyone have any advice for me please?!

Dorset / James Henry Fiander b 1864
« on: Thursday 26 May 16 20:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, looking for a bit of help with this chap: James Henry Fiander was born to George and Mary Ann Finder in 1864 in Tarrant Keyneston.

- He appears in the 1911 census as married to Lavinia for 28 years, which I think leads me to think that he is the same James Henry who married Lavinia Thorne in Poole in 1883.

- There is a James Fiander married to Lavinia in 1901 census, Tarrant Keyneston, with sons James H and Walter H.

- However, in the 1891 census he is shown as being married to a Jane, not Lavinia, although she was born in Milborne Port, same as shown for Lavinia in the other two census returns.

I haven't been able to find a birth registration for Lavinia Thorne, so I'm wondering if I'm barking up completely the wrong tree??!!

Dorset / Thomas Galten b.?, father of Margaret Galten b.1783
« on: Saturday 21 May 16 18:59 BST (UK)  »
I have hit a stumbling block and wonder if anyone might have some advice.

I have found the father and mother of my husband's 4xgreat-grandmother, Margaret Galten. They are Thomas Galten and Mary Tyrrel of Dewlish, and I believe I have found their other children from the parish records. However, I have not been able to trace back and determine the date of baptism or parents of Thomas.

I have 3 possibilities: one born 1730 to Edward and Elizabeth; one born 1742 to Thomas and Mary; and one born 1746 to William and Frances/Franses.

Is there any way I can work out which one of these might be Margaret's father? As always, your help is very much appreciated.

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Walter John Blampied b1888 Lookup
« on: Tuesday 10 May 16 11:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I wonder if someone might be able to look up Walter John Blampied for me please? I believe he was baptised in 1888 in the parish of Trinity, Jersey. I think his father may have been called John, but would love to be able to go further back down this line of my family.

I think I may have found him in Trinity on the 1891 census, with father John and mother Jane, but if there was some info on the baptism record that could confirm this, it would be brilliant!

He went on to marry Amelie Marie Leonie Le Pennec in 1913 and had four children, my grandmother being one of them.

Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help!

Other Countries / INDIA: Alexena Maud Wright b.1916
« on: Monday 02 May 16 11:43 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am researching my husband's maternal grandmother, Alexena Maud Wright, who was born April 1916 in India. Her father was Charles Wright and mother was possibly named Norah. Her brother Eugene was born in 1912 (possibly in India) and sister Mignon in 1919 (almost definitely in India as I have found a record of the family returning to England in 1932).

It is believed by some family members that Charles (born 1876 in Portsmouth) was working on the railways in India as a mechanic and that they lived in the Delhi area.

I have tried a few searches online for these family members but haven't found anything - I assume I'm looking in the wrong places, or perhaps the records I'm looking for aren't online?

Any help would be very gratefully received! Thanks in advance!

Dorset / Elizabeth Brockway m. James Kendall 1816 Shaftesbury
« on: Friday 22 April 16 14:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I am currently trying to trace back from Elizabeth Brockway, my husband's 4x great-grandmother. She married James Kendall in Shaftesbury St Peter in 1816.

James Kendall was born in 1798, so I imagine Elizabeth would be of a similar age. On the Dorset OPC site there are two Elizabeth Brockways, baptised within months of each other; one is the daughter of Phillip Brockway, the other the daughter of Thomas.

James and Elizabeth were married by banns, where there is no record of her father. Is there any way I can determine who her father was, or have I hit a stumbling block?

Any guidance you can offer me would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance.
