Title: Roots for DIMMOCK in Olney
Post by: bevs60 on Saturday 20 March 10 20:15 GMT (UK)
Hi

I am now trying to trace back my paternal grandmothers family.  She was Winifred Elizabeth Dimmock born in 1896.  Her father was Charles Barnard Dimmock and he was a master cabinet maker.
She married my grandfather Frederick Hill in ?  I can guess it was around 1916 or so as my aunt was born in 1917 and my father in 1923.

Thanks
Bev

Hi Bev

Just to clarify - which county are you talking about - Gloucestershire? or Buckinghamshire?

Hi
She was born in Buckinghamshire ( I think!)  I know it is near Northampton.  We are from Bedfordshire

Thanks

Olney is in Buckinghamshire, close to the Bedfordshire border.

Olney is in Buckinghamshire, close to the Bedfordshire border.

Hmmm - I moved the thread to Bucks, based on Genuki

http://met.open.ac.uk/genuki/big/eng/BKM/Olney/index.html

It could be that records that emerge will be for other counties as we work back but we'll see ...

 :)


Edit - did you just change your post, Sue - could have sworn you said Bedfordshire just now?!?

No- I think I am confusing things.  I live in Bedfordshire as that is where Winifred moved to after her marriage to Fred Hill.

Blimey both of you!!!!!!

So much and so quick.  I take it by your entry - Sue - my grandmother Winifred - was a twin!  She never said anything about it and there is no-one around now I can ask.

This is now getting quite intriguing and I need to win the lottery and give up work to learn the skills you all have!

I shall attempt to put together all the 'stuff' my dad collected from his research.  I have a few birth / death / marriage certs, and now I have all this info from you!  

Oh well, parenting is going to go out of the window now, but not to worry the kids are 22, 21 and 17! and my partner is busy researching his own complicated tree.

I really am so 'chuffed' with everything you have provided
Again, thanks very much
Bev

I think Winifred's age in 1901 is 5 ...

(sorry Sue)

 ;)

Glad you've made so much progress Bev - let us know what else you glean from your records.  It's helpful to keep everything together so that we don't end up doing the same work twice, so post it here!

 :D

Thanks Sue

Yes Nanna would have been 5 in 1901.  She was born 24/07/1896 and lived a great life till March 1978.  She lived with us and I still miss her now.

My head is spinning and I am going to take Dad's research file to bed.

Speak soon I hope.  I will do as you suggest and post what I know.

Kind regards
Bev

Well done Sue!

I always find it appealing when the parents are Joseph and Mary, for some reason!  ;D

I am researching my tree and think we share the same 3 times great grandfather.

From what I can see William Newton Dimmock & Anne Roberts had 6 children - Elizabeth, William (my 2 x great grandfather), Rebecca, John, Barnard (or Bernard or Barnett, your 2 x great grandfather) & Thomas.

Next generation down for me - William Dimmock married Emily Curd in 1858, they had 10 children including my great grandfather William Joseph - he married Fanny Clarke.

William Joseph & Fanny had 8 children including my grandmother Lucy, this is where the Dimmock line ended and the White's started.

If I am correct in my research it would be great to exchange notes.

I too have a few certificates.

Hi Bev and Richard,

I haven't used this site for some time but just saw this thread. Barnard Dimmock (d 1896) was also my 2nd great grandfather.
I have been researching the tree for some time now. Do any of your relatives have the name Barnard as first or middle name?
If you get in touch I may be able to help with queries.

Regards

David

In my tree I have a Barnard Dimmock (1835-1896) son of William Newton Dimmock & Anne Roberts. This Barnard would be my 2nd gt grand uncle as he was brother to William Dimmock (1830-1878) my 2nd gt grand father.
Does this fit with your research?

Rgds

Hi, I am pondering on the chance we could be related.
In 1816, my 4th great grandparents married in London, Isaac Seggins (b.1795 in Ringland, Norfolk) married Eleanor Dimmock, they had all their children in Weston Underwood however Eleanor died before 1841, so getting any information on her is impossible, I can't even find her death, but it has been strongly suggested to me that her place of birth was somewhere in Buckinghamshire.
Isaac moved after 1851 with one of his daughters, Martha, to Australia and that is where he died in 1878.

Sorry, I don't have Eleanor in my records.

Post by: Artognou on Friday 25 April 14 15:55 BST (UK)
Not to worry, thanks anyway.
She's been a bit of a nightmare - in fact one of the trickiest people in my entire family tree to track down, I can't even find a death record for her!

Although this is VERY distant (on my wife's side), I might be able to help a little. I have Isaac Seggins b. 16 July 1794 in Ringland, Norfolk. I did not know who he married but know that he was a school teacher and had a daughter Martha (born around 1811 in Weston Underwood, Bucks.). She is in the 1841 census living in Winchester as a servant, a visitor in a cousin's house in 1851, occ. cook and lodging in the household of a coal merchant in Winchester in 1861, occ. dealer in pastry. She died in 1869 reg. Winchester. No reference to Australia though.
