Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Wickwar marriage lookup request - Pullin / Pullen
« on: Tuesday 22 July 08 06:06 BST (UK)  »
Is there anyone who has access to the marriage records for Wickwar for the 1808 to 1820 time period?  I am looking for the marriage of a James Pullin or Pullen, to an Ann in that time, and am particularly interested to know if it says if he was a widower.

There is a James Pullin or Pullen born about 1774 or 1775 in Gloucestershire.  In June 1799 he married Elizabeth Pullen in Tytherington, and they had 4 children between 1800 and 1808, with the first in Cromhall and the others in Wickwar; Elizabeth died in 1814 in Wickwar. 

There is then a James Pullen or Pullin, born about 1774 or 1775 and who died in 1839 in Tytherington, who married an Ann, born in Thornbury in about 1793, presumably sometime on or before 1820, and they then had 8 children between 1820 and 1839, the first 3 in Wickwar, and the rest born in Tytherington.  I am assuming that they were married in Wickwar.

I believe that the two James are the same person.  I am hoping that the information in the marriage register of James with Ann might help me confirm this.

Thank you,   :)

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / 1891 and 1901 - Abigail WAKEMAN/BITTON/GIBBS/KING
« on: Saturday 25 November 06 17:47 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for 1891 or 1901 census reports on Abigail Wakeman, whose surname at various times included Bitton (her mother's maiden name), Schwartz (her first husband), Gibbs (her second husband), and perhaps Black (English translation of Schwartz) or King (rumored to be her third husband's surname).  I have seen her given name spelled as Abigail, Abby, Abbie and Abbigail.

Abby was born as Abigail Wakeman, on Feb. 8 1861 at 4 Dorset Street in Whitechapel / Spitalfields.   She is in the 1871 census as Abbie Wakeman, living with her sister Lucy Jacobs.   ???On 28 Sep 1878 she married (as Abigail Bitton, and listed as being age 20, with address 6 Widegate Street, Bishopsgate) to Henry Schwartz, listed as being age 22, a tailor, at 13 Windsor Street, Bishopsgate, with father Abraham Schwartz, deceased, also a tailor.  They both appear to have lied about their ages (which would have been 17 for Abby and about 18 for Henry), and best I can tell, his father Abraham didn't die until 1904.

Abby and Henry were married again on 22 Aug 1880 in the Jewish religion, at Scarboro Street Synagogue in Whitechapel. Henry again listed his age as 22, now correct, his address as 27 Pelham Street, and his father as Abraham Schwartz, tailor.  Abby got married this time as Abby Bitton, age 22 (close, as she was 21), and her address as 6 Pelham Street.

They are seen in the 1881 census, with the surname Schwartz, with his name misspelled as Harry and hers as Abbigail, with their daughter Sarah.  They had two more daughters, Rose in Nov 1881 and Amelia in 1883, and they divorced or at least separted later in the 1880's.  I have not been able to find any of them in the 1891 census. 

On 11 Oct 1892 Abigail Wakeman (listed as age 27 with father James, deceased) married a Joseph Gibbs.  They lived at 5 Crown Court, Great Pearl Street, Spitalfields (where I can find Joseph in the 1881 and 1891 census). 

Abby and Joseph Gibbs had a son Joseph born 15 Jan 1894, but Joseph (Sr) died on 8 Feb 1894 of typhoid fever, and their son died 2 weeks later.  She may later have married someone with a surname of King, but I have not been able to find any evidence of this.

I have not been able to find Abigail in the 1901 census, but I know that she did not die until 1928 or 1929.

Thanks for your help!

Somerset Lookup Requests / Bath (or other Someset) marriage lookup please
« on: Saturday 25 November 06 08:53 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for a marriage of Ann Tucker and Thomas Deigan, and I haven't had any luck after lots of looking, so I would very much appreciate some help.

Ann Tucker, born 1831 in Hallatrow, High Littleton, Somerset (daughter of Joseph Tucker, a coal miner and Drucilla nee Hares) married a Thomas Deigan sometime in the 1850's.  In the 1851 Ann Tucker is living with her family in High Littleton, and in 1861 she is living as Ann Deigan, married, in Bath at 15 Burlington Street, Walcot, Bath, listed as married and as a servant and living with her son (listed as Thomas T Deigan, 18 months), but I cannot find her husband Thomas.  Their first son was Francis Thomas Deigan, born Sep 22 1859 at 5 Morford Street, Lansdown, Bath; their second son Joseph William was born Apr 2 1863 in Hampstead.

I cannot find a marriage for Ann Tucker and Thomas Deigan in High Littleton (or elsewhere so far), but since they had their first son in Bath in 1859, perhaps they got married in Bath.

Thank you!

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Wakeman/Bitton/Schwartz/Gibbs/King - 1891 and 1901 census
« on: Saturday 19 August 06 06:44 BST (UK)  »
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me in trying to find Abigail (or Abby) Wakeman or her children in the 1891 or 1901 census. 

She was born as Abigail Wakeman, on Feb. 8 1961 at 4 Dorset Street in Whitechapel / Spitalfields.   She is found in the 1861 census as Abby Wakeman, age 2 months, living with her family, and in the 1871 census as Abbie Wakeman, and living with her sister, Lucy (Louisa) Jacobs.

On 28 Sep 1878 she married (as Abigail Bitton (Bitton was her mother's maiden name), and listed as being age 20, with address 6 Widegate Street, Bishopsgate, and father James Bitton, general dealer (who is in prior censuses as James Wakeman), deceased) to Henry Schwartz, listed as being age 22, a tailor, or 13 Windsor Street, Bishopsgate, with father Abraham Schwartz, deceased, also a tailor.  They were married at the Register office in London City, and the witnesses were listed as Joseph Raphael and Phoebe Bitton.  They both appear to have lied about their ages (which would have been 17 for Abby and about 18 for Henry), and his father Abraham didn't die until 1904.

Abby and Henry were married again on 22 Aug 1880 in the Jewish religion, at Scarboro Street Synagogue in Whitechapel.  Henry again listed his age as 22, now correct, his address as 27 Pelham Street, and his father as Abraham Schwartz, tailor (no mention this time of him being deceased).  Abby got married this time as Abby Bitton, age 22 (close, as she was 21), with father John Bitton, dead, and her address as 6 Pelham Street.  I have no other record of them having lived on Pelham Street, and I the street numbers are different, even though they were already married and had a child.

They are seen in the 1881 census, with surname Schwartz, with his name misspelled as Harry and hers as Abbigail, with their daughter Sarah, at 20 Hunt Street in Whitechapel.  They had two more daughters, Rose (or Rosie) in Nov 1881 and Amelia in August 1883.  For a long time I have searched for them in the 1891 census, and have not found any of them. 

I have a note that said that Abby and Henry had divorced in about 1885 or 1889.

Abigail is believed to have married at least one more time to someone with a last name of King, and that this King had two sons, one named John who was killed in WW1, and another named David who was a sergeant-major in the Royal artillery in WW1 and who may have died in Central America in about 1931, and they supposedly also had a daughter together named Dinah (who married a Harry Blythe).  Unfortunately, I have yet to find any documents to support this, except for:  a death certificate for Dinah Blythe (who was married to Harry Blythe, was born on 4 Feb 1895 according to her death certificate from 1974, but no maiden surname listed on it).  I can find no Dinah King born in 1895.  Mr. King supposedly eventually moved to Australia, but Abigail did not go with him, and Abigail supposedly died in 1928 or 1929.

I have also found that on 11 Oct 1892 Abigail Wakeman (listed as age 27 with father James, deceased) married a Joseph Gibbs.  Abby and Joseph Gibbs had a son Joseph born 15 Jan 1894, but Joseph (Sr) died on 8 Feb 1894 of typhoid fever, and their son died 2 weeks later. 

I have not been able to find Abigail in the 1901 census, or her daughter Amelia (Sarah had married in 1896 surname Springall, and I eventally found daughter, Rose, with the surname Black, which is English translation of Schwartz).  I have not been able to find Abby's marriage to a King or her death certificate.

England / Help in finding Thomas Deigan
« on: Saturday 12 August 06 05:55 BST (UK)  »
I would appreciate any help in trying to find a birth, marriage, or death certificate, or a census listing, for a Thomas Deigan. 

The best information I have on him is from the birth certificates of two sons:
- 22 Sep 1859, Francis Thomas Deigan is listed as having a father Thomas Deigan, occupation of butler, with mother Ann Deigan, formerly Tucker, with the birth and her address at 5 Morford Street, Bath;
- 2 Apr 1863, Joseph William Deigan is listed as having a father Thomas Deigan, occupation of butler, Domestic servant, with mother Ann Deigan, formerly Tucker, with the birth and her address at South End House, South End Green, Hampstead, Middlesex. 

When these sons were married, their father was listed as follows:  for Francis Thomas Deigan on May 15, 1882, his father is listed as Francis Deigan, deceased.  William Deigan, married Nov 9 1893, has a father listed as William Deigan, deceased, valet.  (William also had another marriage that I have been unable to find, with daughters born in 1883 and 1885, with the mother listed on theri birth certificates as Jane Deigan, formerly Gray, or Emily Jane, Deigan formerly Gray).

I have been able to find his future wife, Ann Tucker, in the 1841 and 1851 censuses; in Hallatrow, High Littleton, daughter of Joseph and Drucilla (and she also had a brother Joseph).

In the 1861 census, I have found the family, but with no listing for a husband / father, at 15 Burlington Street, Walcot, Bath, and with the surname incorrectly transcribed in the index as Dugan, with Ann Deigan listed as being married, a servant, from High Littleton, and her son listed as Thomas T. Deigan, age 18 months, born in Walcot, Bath. 

In the 1871 census, Ann Deigen is now listed as being a widow, and as a servant at 18 Praed Street, Marylebone, London.   The son, Francis, is listed as Frank Digan, living with his uncle Joseph Tucker and wife Eliza at Southend House, Hampstead (also the birthplace of Joseph William Deigan, this address also shows up as the home for Ann Deigan on a death certificate in August 1871 for Eliza Tucker).  The other son, William Deigan, is listed as a visitor at 8 Ernest Street, Kensington.  Annie Deigan (mistranscribed in the index as Annie Dugan) is found in the 1881 census, again as a widow in Marylebone.  Son William appears to be in Wales in 1881; I have been unable to find son Francis in the 1881 census.  I pick up Francis again in the 1891 and 1901 census; and I find William in the 1901 census but not in 1891.  Ann Deigan remarried in July 1881 to a Chapman Butcher, and shows up as Ann Butcher in the 1891 and 1901 census.

I figure that for Thomas Deigan that I should have been able to find a marriage certificate to Ann Tucker, a death certificate between 1862 and 1871, and a census listing in 1861, but I have been unable to find any of these!   ???

Thanks for any help!!!

Eric
