Hi there

This is definately the same Orwin tree as mine, I don't have any descendent information though for James but can send you all the information I have on the parents and some of the other siblings.

Hi there

I realise this is an old post but wondered if you'd come across Wilson James Orwin born 1845 in Newcastle and married Jane Watson James and had 6 children - all girls?  Wilson James was the son of Thomas Orwin and Elizabeth Peacock.

Many of the off Orwin names came from the fact that they put surnames as middle names passing down the generations hence I also have in my tree a William Peacock Orwin, his middle name comign from his grandmothers maiden name.

Any information gratefully received.

Shropshire / Work House Records and Archives - Phoebe BLODWELL
« on: Friday 06 July 07 23:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi there

Does anyone know where I would find any information on Workhouses in about 1751?  I have a Phebe Blodwell (nee Chettow) who the parish registers state as being of 'ye workhouse' when her son Edward died.

Another son Samuel was born to Phebe in 1752 but he was christened in 1767 as Samuel Chettow but we're not sure if he was born a Blodwell or perhaps Phebe's huband John had already died.  Phebe was burried in 1768 as Phebe Blodwell.  Perhaps Samuel had a run-in with family and cut himself off or maybe he wasn't a child of John Blodwell.

Anyone have any ideas?

Shropshire / Blodwell
« on: Monday 14 May 07 12:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi there
I'm researching the family of 'Blodwell' who originally come from Shropshire.  I can date my own part of the family tree back to the 1700s but can't find the connection to a Manchester branch - but know there must be one.
If anyone comes across any reference to the name perhaps they could send it through to me.
At the moment I'm trawling through some wills from the 1600s and getting information from them.  I also have a copy of Shropshire quarter sessions coming through which I'm looking forward to.
Many thanks.
