Gloucestershire / location of village?
« on: Sunday 27 December 15 21:26 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me locate where or was a place called Hidede in Gloucestershire. I am trying to trace my GG Grandmothers birth cert. All documents i have including marr. cert says she was born in Bristol but they have no birth reg, under her name, Elizabeth Dudley Powell, fathers name on marr. cert. is given as Thomas. The only other trace i can find under her name and about the right age is on the 1881 Census RG11/3010 where place born is given as Hidede, but i have not been able to find its location, can anyone tell me where it is?
Many thanks

Gloucestershire / Frederick James Bigham (Powell)
« on: Monday 05 May 14 00:53 BST (UK)  »
Can anybody help me break down a long standing strong wall.
I am trying to track down the true father of Frederick James Bigham, my great Grandfather. According to all records i have found for him he went under the name of Frederick James Bigham, he was born in Bristol in 1879 but his mother Elizabeth Dudley Powell married his "father" John Bigham in June 1883 four years after his birth.
I did send for two birth certs. for Frederick James Powell from Bristol reg. office but on both requests the mothers name is wrong.
Elizabeth's birth is given as in both Bristol and Bath but i have not been able to find it, her father's name was Thomas Powell, and i have not been able to find any other marriage for her, i would just like to confirm Frederick's Father.
Sorry this seems a bit long winded.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated
Regards

« on: Tuesday 02 February 10 21:43 GMT (UK)  »
My granddad, Ernest Gooding, came over to monmouthshire and joined Newport Police Force in 1910. In the conduct book and service record that I have found his last employer was a Mr Robert Harding, Kean Hall Polsham nr Wells, and was working as a Carter.
Has anyone any information about Kean Hall, is it still there, what sort of business was it etc. as I have been unable to find anything about it so far on google and other places.
Many thanks in advance
