London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / IVEY Family of Farnham -- Marriage lookup please - COMPLETE
« on: Monday 02 November 09 00:35 GMT (UK)  »
I have an interesting thread on the Ivey family of Paddington which was started over on the London & Middlesex board:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,416454.0.html

The chase has now led back to the earlier family of William Ivey & Mary in Farnham which is recorded on the IGI [C069732].

One of William & Mary's eight children was George Ivey, bap. May 13, 1781, Farnham. George's first three children (Harriott, George, William) were baptized in Farnham in the period 1805-1810, with the mother recorded as Sarah. The family then appears to have moved to London as the baptisms take up again in St Mary-St Marylebone in 1811. On one of these records the mother is recorded as Sarah Louisa.

To close the loop, I would greatly appreciate a lookup in the Surrey marriage index or the Farnham PRs for a marriage between George Ivey and a Sarah (Louisa) in about 1804-1805.

I would also appreciate any local insights or knowledge of the Ivey family of Farnham who appear to have been coachsmiths and blacksmiths.

Thanks,

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / George IVEY - Coachsmith of Paddington - COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 01 November 09 00:33 GMT (UK)  »
I would love to hear from anyone connected with George Ivey of Paddington, my newly discovered G3-grandfather. Here is what little I know so far on George:

* In 1815, he was married to Sarah Louisa at the time of the baptism of their son John William Jan 28, St Marylebone [IGI C035246]. This suggests he was likely born in the 1790s.

* In 1828, the Records of Sun Fire Office show: Insured: George Ivey 32 Caroline Place Bayswater coachsmith and the executors of the late John Eaton Other property or occupiers: Chapel Mews Robert Street Grosvenor Square [A2A MS 11936/521/1080798,  9 Oct 1828].

* In 1835, he was witness to the marriages of his son John William to Rachel George, and daughter Hannah to Robert Acfield, both at St James Paddington.

* In 1851, son John William Ivey is recorded as a coachsmith, adding strong support that the 1828 Sun Fire Office record is the right George Ivey.

Here the trail goes cold. I have Hannah and John William's subsequent families researched, but so far I have not been able to find George's baptism or any other clues. I am very interested to learn more about George's family and forebears.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Help with Dating Old Photo of Three Young Children
« on: Saturday 19 September 09 00:33 BST (UK)  »
I would greatly appreciate expert opinion on the date of this charming old photo of three young children, which I believe was taken in Northampton.

My first impression was that this was three young girls.  But I believe in the Victorian period it was common for young boys to wear dresses.  :o :o :o

So it might be a boy in the front. ???

I would also be interested in the board's opinions on the ages of the children.

Thanks in advance,

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Identification of Time Period of Photo: Help Please
« on: Friday 18 September 09 20:39 BST (UK)  »
I would appreciate any help that could be provided to identify the time period of this group photo, which is believed to have been taken in Northampton. 

From the men's rounded collars and the women's pompadour hairstyles, I am guessing it is Edwardian; but I would welcome opinions from the sharper eyes on this board.

I would greatly appreciate any help that could be provided to identify the location of this group photo taken outside a building (hotel?) named "The Kingsley." It is believed to have been somewhere in Northampton.

I would also be interested in opinions on the time period of the photo, which from the men's rounded collars and the women's pompadour hairstyles I am guessing is Edwardian.
