Somerset / BEAVER families of Roadwater/Old Cleeve

« on: Wednesday 03 November 21 17:54 GMT (UK) »

My great great grandmother remarried after the birth of my great grandmother. Two children from this marriage moved from Great Marlow in Buckinghamshire to Roadwater. According to the 1911 census they had 28 children between them. Sadly both married wives whose maiden names were Crew(e). I can separate out the living children fairly well but the eight who died before 1911 present a problem. Does anyone know if I can access the parish records of Old Cleeve (where I assume that they would have been baptised) from 1890 onwards? I should be able to sort out the two who I know were born in Great Marlow (when I get home) but still need to find baptisms for William (c 1897), Daniel and Daisy (c 1904) and one as yet unknown. I'm reasonably hopeful as Beaver is not a particularly common Somerset name.

If anyone is related to the either family I would be really happy to hear from them.

P.S. I have now found the Old Cleeve registers online and no sign of any baptisms for Beaver children. Any ideas of where I should look next?

Could anyone help me, or point me in the right direction, to find the burial of Abel HARVEY who died on 4th December 1905. I have identified the area as Kensington and Chelsea but don't know where to look next. Thanks.

Hertfordshire / Apsley 1911 census records

« on: Monday 10 May 21 10:59 BST (UK) »

Another COOK related query! I have found Herbert George COOK and his wife, Florence Annie, in the 1911 census on FindMyPast but cannot find them on Ancestry (on their next door neighbours). Is it me or does Ancestry have some records missing?

Hertfordshire / COOK at Leverstock Green 1851-1861

« on: Saturday 08 May 21 12:03 BST (UK) »

Hello, I can find baptisms online for Leverstock Green but not burials. Can anyone help? I am looking for burials from 1851-1861 for members of the COOK family.

In addition the abode is given (for some of the baptisms) as Bel Colney. Can anyone tell me where Bel Colney is?

Can anyone tell me whereabouts in Bucks there were lunatic asylums in 1908?

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Spring Trade

« on: Sunday 27 September 20 13:27 BST (UK) »

I have a relative who gives his occupation in 1911 as Labourer in the spring trade. He is living in Kimberworth. Can anyone explain to be what 'spring trade' is or was ?

Thank you,

Buckinghamshire / Mysterious address

« on: Friday 05 June 20 14:33 BST (UK) »

On a birth certificate issued in 1851 the place of birth and the residence of the child and mother is given as (quite clearly) "Canal Wycombe".

The registration district is Wycombe and the Registrar's district is High Wycombe.

Can anyone shed any light on this address ?

Cambridgeshire / OTT against entries in Parish Records

« on: Wednesday 18 March 20 15:02 GMT (UK) »

I have on microfiche transcripts of the parish records of St Mary's, Swaffham Prior. These were transcribed by the Cambridgeshire Family History Society. Looking for marriages recently I came across many entries ( I was looking at the early part of the 19th century) which are marked OTT, or both OTT. I am quite familiar with OTP but can anyone help me with the meaning of OTT please?

Thank you,

Bedfordshire / IRELAND family who should be in Luton in 1939

« on: Monday 02 December 19 07:22 GMT (UK) »

Leonard Charles Ireland married Winifred Maud Tompkins in the second quarter of 1929 in the Luton registration district.

Leonard was born on 14th August 1905 and Winifred on 15th March 1907, both in Luton - sources 1911 census and dates of birth recorded at death.

I believe that they had a son in 1930. Obviously he may well still be alive so I cannot name him.

Leonard and Winifred both died in 1993. I believe that they were still in Luton. Their deaths were registered in the Luton registration district.

I cannot find them in 1939, however hard I try. I appreciate that Leonard may have signed up but I should be able to find Winifred. Has anyone any ideas, please ?
