Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: John Shrimpton Of Easton
« on: Saturday 19 August 17 06:43 BST (UK)  »
Thank you so much, I think that's him. I've had a look at the records held at Winchester and there is also a will for James Shrimpton, a butcher of Easton, who died in 1782 and could possibly be his father. I need both wills I think. I have found a burial record giving a birth date of about 1722 but again I can find no baptism record. Church records for Easton, other than burials, don't appear to be available so a visit to the records office may be needed! Thanks once again for your help I have only just rediscovered this site and I have made some amazing discoveries through it.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / John Shrimpton Of Easton
« on: Thursday 17 August 17 14:12 BST (UK)  »
I've been researching my Aunt's family tree and have now come to a dead end. John Shrimpton married Ann Downs at Easton on the 6th June 1785 and their son, John, was baptized at Easton on the 6th June 1790. The only other record I can find is a burial record for a John Shrimpton at Easton in 1828 with a birth date of 1752. Can anyone help please?

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: Catherine Elizabeth Anne BENDELL (nee JAMES) born 1858

Thank you for your replies. My friend was really surprised about the Jersey connection although she does remember as a child some family members going to Jersey to search for something. I think I'll have to take up the subscription and a visit sounds quite a good idea too!

Thank you for your very prompt reply. That is very interesting. I wasn't holding out much hope for Catherine, it must have been very hard for an 80+ lady in occupied Jersey. Do you have any idea where I could find any information post 1941?

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Catherine Elizabeth Anne BENDELL (nee JAMES) born 1858
« on: Wednesday 24 May 17 15:07 BST (UK)  »
I've been researching a friend's tree and have landed in Jersey. (may be an excuse for a visit in future!) Catherine Bendell was widowed in 1906 and some time after that moved to Jersey to be with her daughter, Mabel RAYMOND, born 1891. I've found German registration cards dated February 1941 for Catherine, Mabel and her husband, James Raymond born 1892. At the time all three were living at Marais du Val, St Brelade, Jersey. Can anyone please tell me how I can find out if they survived the war. Thank you in advance.

Somerset / Re: Judith Moger of Woolverton
« on: Saturday 15 April 17 13:31 BST (UK)  »
I've just been looking for any records on Judith's father, William Bachelor Moger(s). He was probably born at Woolverton but Can't find a birth record for him. He married Ann Collett at Kington St Michael in 1801. His first child, also William Bachelor Moger was baptised at Woolverton in 1802. Then things go downhill for William. I found a record for his discharge from London Bethlem hospital on the 11th Feb 1804. Poor soul must have been really bad to need to travel all the way to London. William then goes on to have 7 further children between 1806 and 1821. During this time the only reference I can find for him is the dissolution of a partnership in 1812 when he is described as a farmer and common brewer. William's last child, Elizabeth, was born in Southampton about 1823 and I have found a record of his burial at Nursling, just outside Southampton in 1827. I've noticed on family trees on Ancestry that his place of death was Grove Place Hospital for the insane, although I can find no evidence of this. I'd love to find out more about William but not sure where to look now.

Somerset / Re: Judith Moger of Woolverton

William Moger and Ann Collett are my 3rd great grandparents. One of their daughters, Elizabeth, married William Gouk, in Southampton in 1852. I recently found a veritable treasure trove of family photographs and documents. Included are handwritten family trees which I believe were produced by William Gouk's daughter, Ann Lee Gouk. She was trying, unsuccessfully, to make a connection between the Colletts of Somerset and Little Giddings. On one tree there is written '=Griffiths' under Judith Moger. I haven't been able to find any marriage records but I have found a census record in 1861 for a Judith Griffith, born Woolverton about 1807. It records her as unmarried and she is working as a housekeeper in Podymore, Somerset. There is also a death record for 1888 at Yeovil. I'm still searching!
