Derbyshire / Re: Ox Close, in the Parish of Bakewell. Help please!
« on: Wednesday 29 December 21 16:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi "cousin"!
So you are descended from Robert at Higher House, and I'm from his brother Edmund at Lower House.

My gt-grandmother was Ellen Marsden, and no fewer than three of her grandparents were Marsdens - her two grandfathers were cousins, descended from John Marsden (and Alice). One of her grandmothers was also descended from John and Alice, but she was a more distant cousin.
John Marsden appears on that online tree as born 1676 and living at Birchover.

I have a Robert Marsden who married in 1703. At a pinch he could have been born 1689. It would have been legal to marry but "nobbut just!" as we say in Yorkshire ...
:-)

This is the 1689 one?
1689 Robert son of Edmund Marston de Oxclose bp 10 July

There is an earlier one too
1679 Robert son of Robert Marstin of Oxclose bp 21 Sept

He would be a better age I think.

Working out connections in that bit of the Marsden tree is a bit tricky to say the least :-) There is an attempt to make sense of it here https://baslowhistory.files.wordpress.com/2019/08/marsden.pdf  I  don't know who the person behind it is, but at least it gives some idea of the scope!

I think that there were two brothers (Edmund and Robert) living at Oxclose and baptising children with similar names. I'd forgotten how tricky it was!

I'm so glad I googled "Oxclose" - I'm just looking at the Marsden family and a birth record from Baslow which gives the residence as Oxclose. I'm going to follow up what people have said in this thread and see if we are the same family.

Bound to be related in some way!

Worcestershire / Re: Henry Guest - Netherton Hall - c.1862
« on: Sunday 03 November 19 15:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi James

This is quite an elderly post and I'm not sure what your point is exactly. I don't see anything wrong with most of the information here and do not dispute that Samuel Guest married Martha Parker. It is worth noting that in 2009 it was not possible to find online the maiden name of a mother for an early birth certificates - this is quite a recent luxury, so not including it does not suggest poor research methods.
The original question was about Henry Guest born abt. 1811 - the son of Henry and Charlotte Guest who you located in the 1841 census. Samuel was another of their children, although no baptism has been found for him to confirm that.
You say that Samuel's marriage certificate gives his father as Henry Guest, labourer, and you contrast this with Henry Guest, farmer of  50  acres. The latter is Samuel's brother.

As given above:
1851
Cinder Bank
Henry Guest 40 farmer of 50 acres Dudley
Elizabeth ditto 48 ditto
Emma ditto dau 7 ditto
Isaiah Addleton serv 13
Elizabeth Jukes visitor 31
Selina Brooks serv 16 Dudley

This Henry (the one being asked about) married Elizabeth Willetts in 1850 and their marriage certificate says that he is a farmer, residing Cinder Bank, and his father is "Henry Guest labourer" so that fits nicely with the rest of the information  (source: Black Country Connections site).

Mary Emma's birth certificate (source: same site) has no first name for her but says "father Henry Guest ...mother Elizabeth Guest formerly Willits ...occup of father Farmer ....signed by Mother E. Guest mother Netherton Hall". So by 1844 Henry was already calling himself a farmer, even though 1841 lists him as a farmer's labourer.

As for Netherton Hall, https://www.dudley.gov.uk/media/6298/netherton.pdf states "In 1856 the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway was built through Blowers Green. A hall, the residence of John Bradley was taken down at the junction of Peartree Lane and Blowers Green to make way for it. Netherton Hall fell down a few years later in 1860 due to mining operations in the vicinity."

I don't know how that fits with demolition in 1963-1976, and I have no reason to look into this further.
Any posts made on this site are usually made with the intention of assisting people who are looking at their family history. Some take this more seriously than others, and obviously anyone who wants to be certain of the facts will make an effort to double check everything and look at each source. But that is a personal choice, and we are not all in a position to seek out every document.

This particular family seems to be a typical Black Country Nightmare! The William Henry born in 1833 appears to be Mary Emma's half brother, and his mother was a different Elizabeth.

Have fun with your study :-)

I think at some point I decided that "Wollashall" was probably related to Walsall rather than Wolloxall. Interesting how names and place names changed.

Hi. I don't think I saw this query when it was posted - only saw it now when I was replying to another old post that had been resurrected.
You may well have the right Susannah - and there is a connection to Bristol. I have the following (not looked at this for ages)

28/3/1768 Humphrey Walloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford (died young?)
7/4/1770 John Walloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford
30/8/1772 Sarah Wolloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford
14/2/1776 Thomas Walloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford
3/11/1778 Susanna Wolloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford
31/10/1780 Henry Wolloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford
19/2/1785 William Wolloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford
11/3/1787 Humphrey Wolloxall, parents Thomas and Mary, baptised Ribbesford

Humphrey is my 4xgrandfather and I have more on him, plus some details on some of the others. Thomas pops up in connection with Bristol I think, listed as subscriber to a poetry book published in 1799 "Mr Tho. Wolloxall of Bristol." He seems to have been over in Wales too, with his children registered at the Baptist Chapel, Caerleon, Newport, Wales in 1801/04/07. Humphrey was a waterman and I think Thomas was linked to the water/harbour in some way - there may be a thread on here about it.

Interesting thoughts Andy. You have revived yet another old thread from 2004. :) Lets hope the OP returns to let you know if they have managed to solve the puzzle in the intervening years.

Nope. But I am amazed to see this pulled up after all these years. And thanks for the link to the Visitation book. At least the com. was cleared up. Obviously it means county.

I'm still interested in the Wolloxalls (in all their spellings). I never worked out exactly where the original hamlet was. It is used interchangeably or in conjunction with Langley, and was connected to Hales manor and then the Abbey. But there is quite a bit of landscape in between.

I wonder why the day varies so much?

Pinch-bum and nettle-whipping are both mentioned here
