Staffordshire / Re: James Fowkes Burton on Trent Staffs

Hi Anthony,

I was wondering if you ever got to resolve the mystery regarding James Fowkes?

He is also my 3 x Great Grandfather :)

Thank you.

In answer to an earlier point, it was never the case that named parents had to attend a baptism (or even be still around or alive).  A baptism register doesn't tell you who presented the child for baptism.

Thank you for this, I never knew that.  Very interesting and would explain a lot.

Quite possibly a red herring, but I see that a Hannah Manley married Thomas Thomas (both of the parish) at St Martin in the Fields on 27 June 1806, after banns.

Yes, I saw that yesterday and wondered if there was any connection. Difficult as it it so early, no real records to check.

Yes i've seen this one, like you say possibly red herring.  Thank you for looking

Brilliant!  Did that require browsing or was it searchable?

It was on FindMyPast!

I have found it on there as you suggested - I had searched so many times but nothing.  I don't know how that happens.  Thank you again.

Got her!!! 

She was admitted to (presumably the Workshouse?) Westminster, St James, Piccadilly, London, England on 18th October 1805 as Hanh Manley.
Under her name it says "Male born 6th November 1805"
On her admission she was 20 and pregnant.
 She was admitted by the order of Mr Evans.
Under the Settlement column it says " N12 ?137 BB" I don't know what that means.
Under clothes it says "1 shift and Decent"
In the remarks column it says "Never in the Hs before"

This is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for looking into this for me.  I cannot tell you how happy I am you've found something concrete.

Thank you again (this means so much to me)

Not an uncommon name though, especially in a large place such as London, so may just be a coincidence.

Indeed I'm just going round in circles.  The name Edward suggest that his father is Edward unless they are two different Edwd Jnrs.  I can't find anything on Hannah, Edward snr or Thomas Wheeler.
Think this is going to remain mystery.

The only entry I can find for a Hannah Manley in the London area are two workhouse discharge entries.  20th June & 9th August 1944.  St Martins, Westminster.

Just putting this here for completeness - no idea if involved in the fun (though same church...):

Thos Wheeler
baptised, 26 Feb 1809 St James, Piccadilly
Thos Wheeler
Frances Wheeler

Thats the same year - the mind boggles!

Do you have Edward jnr in 1841?

And no sign of Hannah anywhere?

Yes I have Edward Jnr in 1841, 1851 & 1861 until he died in 1865.  He was a hairdresser as were all the male children going down the tree until 1934. 

No trace of Hannah or Edward (that I can find!)
