Kent / Re: Gurr family in Chatham (butchers)
« on: Saturday 30 September 17 10:06 BST (UK)  »
Very many thanks to Bearkat and Eyesee.

When William married in 1797 he was a widower so will search for his first marriage and his first wife's death.

Sincerely

Kent / Gurr family in Chatham (butchers)
« on: Saturday 30 September 17 03:02 BST (UK)  »
William Gurr born to William and Mary Gurr nee Wall October 1803.
William and Mary married 9 January 1797.
I'm looking for William's baptism and hope to trace the Gurr line back further.
Appreciate any information and suggestions

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Allen in Glemsford
« on: Thursday 07 September 17 04:10 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know exactly where a birth in Glemsford in 1861 have been registered. Would it have been necessary to visit the Sudbury register office or was there a local place in Glemsford.
Thanks for any guidance on this

Essex / Re: John Popplewell

Cannot find trace of John's birth/baptism but since he was teaching at the national school for a very long time I wonder whether there might be useful information about him in the school records held at the Essex Record Office. Is anyone familiar with this set of records and what they hold.

Phoebe was born 20th Nov. 1810 and baptised 9 December 1810 in Prittlewell. They had a son Thomas baptised in Rochford 29 April 1832. From then on I can trace the Popplewell's through to the birth of my mother in the 1920's.
John was a schoolmaster in Rochford for many years and I wonder whether a search of the national school documents held at the Essex Record Office may tell us more about John who lived in the schoolhouse. Has anyone experience in searching through these collections at ERO that can offer advice.

Essex / John Popplewell
« on: Thursday 17 August 17 05:52 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in John Popplewell born about 1801 who according to various censors came from Little Stambridge and I wondered whether anyone can substantiate this. He married Phoebe Cates 16 October 1828 in Southchurch but a search of all the surrounding parish records has failed to find any evidence of him such as his baptism.
Any assistance with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi everyone
Jabez and Lucy appear on the 1939 listing but inconclusive on Mills as is the 1911 census.
I found a death registered in 1961 for an Eleanor Mills age 87 so might order the certificate.
Looks like a lot more digging to do.
Does anyone have any clues on Abraham who died in 1811 in Pentlow like his age and where he came from.
I understand that none of the Cavendish and Glemsford registers are available on line from the Suffolk record office and since I live more than 6000 miles away it is not possible for me to visit
Bury St. Edmunds where these particular registers are kept.
Thanks to all

Very many thanks to all on this matter of my family ancestors.
Jabez is my grandfather and his son born 1919 is my father and they did in fact go to the States in 1930 but returned 2 years later. Jabez was a cabinet maker and accepted a job in New Rochelle, Long Island to assist in the building of a sea going yacht.
Eleanor Brewster was not spoken about by my family and since anyone with information died many years ago there is no one left to ask.
Eleanor's sister Ernestine is well documented right through to her death in 1927 but interestingly her death certificate shows an E. Mills, sister as the informant. They had a sister named Elizabeth and I wonder whether she may have married a Mills or indeed whether Eleanor did but my research on this so far has proved inconclusive in part due to the commonness of the Mills surname.
Thanks again to all and look forward to anything further that comes to light

Hi Maddy
Thanks for the quick response
The people on the census are my family and I wonder whether my conclusions as to Henry's father being William and his father being Abraham are correct.
Henry married Elizabeth Feltwell in 1854 and they had many children amongst which was Eleanor born in 1873 who (out of wedlock) gave birth to my grandfather Jabez Ernest Brewster in 1896.
In addition to going back through my family line I would dearly like to know what became of Eleanor.
Regards
Fuzzyken
