Somerset Lookup Requests / Somerset Marriage 1670-1685
« on: Thursday 17 September 20 19:03 BST (UK)  »
Thomas Clatworthy was baptised 1685 in Nether Stowey.  Parents Matthew and Mary.  Cannot trace this marriage or any siblings in Nether Stowey or locally. It is possible that Matthew was the Matthew born in Porlock 1663 but I cannot find anything relevant between then and 1685.
Any suggestions?

Wiltshire / Marriage at St James Trowbridge 1830
« on: Saturday 25 January 20 21:14 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with marriage details for a Mary or Margaret marrying at this church in this year? In 1861 she was living with a Samuel Franklin in Islington and they both moved into the workhouse in November 1861. They were not married but she used the name Franklin. There was a child William aged 12 in 1861. They are not on the 1861 census. The information comes from the workhouse admission details but unfortunately the writing is indistinct so I have no married name for her but could be LANE or DANE. If there is a transcript available for these marriages, I would go through it to look for a match.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Clayton Street Caledonian Road 1861
« on: Saturday 25 January 20 11:54 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me whether this road is on the 1861 census or is it one of the missing areas from Islington? Trying to find a family who lived at 29 Clayton Street who were admitted to local workhouse from that address in November 1861.
Thanks

Devon Lookup Requests / Mudge Family : Gidleigh, Throwleigh Chagford Area
« on: Monday 16 January 17 17:32 GMT (UK)  »
Have traced my Mudge line back to  baptism of James Mudge in Gidleigh on 28/3/1731. His mother is shown as Alice Mudge but no father shown on the transcript so I am assuming he was illegitimate, although have not seen the original baptismal entry. Have drawn a blank in finding an Alice who looks a possible candidate from a nearby parish; the only one I have found is in Marytavy in 1707. Can anyone with local knowledge suggest a way forward, please?. I have tried the main three online resources so am hoping that there may be some parishes whose records are not on line.
Many thanks

Dorset / Cull Family Worth matravers/ corfe/langton matravers
« on: Saturday 24 December 16 12:30 GMT (UK)  »
George Cull of Worth Matravers married Ruth Smith 1794 in Langton Matravers. I havent been able to find a baptism for George. The Corfe Census of 1790 shows a George aged 21 who could be the right George born c 1769 living with presumably parents Thomas and Alice Cull who  but cant find their marriage either.
Any ideas?

Surrey Lookup Requests / Baptism c 1905 Reigate MODIFIED
« on: Friday 09 November 12 20:51 GMT (UK)  »
Seeking to identify father of Edith Ellen T Bolster who was born 1905, illegitimate dtr of Ellen Elizabeth Bolster. The t in her name stands for THORNBORROW which is likely the putative father's name. (The 1911 census shows her as a "niece" to the head of her family, Alfred Bolster, when in fact she should be grand daughter). I could send for the birth cert but there is no guarantee that  the father's name will be on it. I would dearly like to find his Christian name. Thornborrow seems to be north country, Cumbria/Durham/Northumberland in origin and I cannot find any in the Surrey area from 1901/1911. I do have the "short" birth certificate from 1905 but this has minimal information. I will look at the 1905/6 baptisms at Kew for St Matthew Redhill where other family members baptised to see if she appears there
Any other suggestions?

Flintshire / Marriage Whitford 1827-28 COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 24 October 12 17:58 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to rootschat help, following my now completed post on Margaret Ann Jones, I have made considerable progress with this line. I am now seeking the marriage of Edward Jones, a collier, to Ann(e) unknown, c 1827-28 in the Whitford area. Edward died just before the 1841 census, Whitford, where Anne is shown as "35".

Ann remarried in 1846 to Ellis Ellis and they are together in 1851 in Bychton, Mostyn.

I havent been able to find either marriage on familysearch/find my past etc and wonder if there is another index. I would really just like mother's maiden name and the date of marriage/location.
Thanks for any advice

Flintshire / Margaret Ann Jones Mostyn COMPLETED
« on: Monday 22 October 12 15:04 BST (UK)  »
Margaret gives her age as 28 on the 1911 census; married as Margaret Ann Adams and living at "Old Slaggard". She married Albert Adams of Mostyn in 1907 in Liverpool and gave her age as 24 so both events consistent with being born in 1883. Her marriage shows her father as Thomas Jones, labourer.
Her place of birth in 1911 is given as Mostyn although she is living in Liverpool at the time of her marriage.
Can anyone tell me whether there is a baptism for a Margaret Ann c 1883 which would give mother's name?
I did send for a birth cert but that came back with Moses Jones as her father which was later proved incorrect when the marriage cert arrived. I want to go back through the years on the Census but cant even find them in 1901.
Thanks for any suggestions

Oxfordshire Completed Look Up Requests / ann(e) rickson (or rixon) COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 17 October 12 15:43 BST (UK)  »
Anne had a child, John, baptised in Benson in 1807. John went on to marry in Benson in 1831 and I have his details from then on. No father is given at his baptism so I assume he was illegitimate. Ann(e) was not baptised in Benson herself so my query is whether there is an Ann(e) baptised locally between 1775-1792 or if there is a Rixon/Rickson marriage in nearby parishes that might give me a starting place to look for her baptism. Any help gratefully received.
