I am hoping someone could look up this marriage that was registered in 1847 in Stow.  I am struggling with this family as records are seem to be conflicting.  I would be very interested in finding out more about 2 baptism records for Mary Augusta Alyliffe.  There is one in 1820 in Tostock to parents William and Charlotte and another in 1830 in Thurston to the same parents. A potential 1851 census record indicates birth was abt 1825 in Woolpeth (Woolpit), Suffolk, England.

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / James Arthur Walter BETHELL
« on: Monday 18 November 13 20:59 GMT (UK)  »
I was wondering whether anyone had access to the parish records of St. Andrew the Less, Cambridge and could look up the baptism of James Arthur Walter BETHELL in 1824.  I would very much like to find out the names of his parents.

Wondering whether anyone could help shed some light on a second husband of Elizabeth Sarah BOUCHER (nee Ellis).  On the 1881 census Elizabeth Boucher is living in St Paul Deptford with her children and is a widow (husband William Boucher appears to have died in 1879).  On the 1891 census Elizabeth is still a widow living in St Paul Deptford but her surname has changed to COVER and remains that until her death in 1923.  I have searched Ancestry & free BMD for a marriage and not found anything and I have also looked for a possible death in the Greenwich area for anyone with the  surname of COVER between 1882 and 1891.  Elizabeth Boucher/Cover changed addresses between 1881 and 1891 but still remained within the Deptford parish. Would love any clues on who Mr Cover may have been.

Essex / Elizabeth Ellis born abt 1840 in North Weald Essex
« on: Friday 25 October 13 03:11 BST (UK)  »
I have lost track of this ancestor and I am hoping someone could help shed some light on her.  The details I have so far is that she was born abt 1840 in North Weald Essex.  I have found the 1841 and 1851 census where she is  living in North Weald with her parents John & Ann Ellis. In 1859 she gave birth to a baby girl named Fanny in Harlow, Essex.  On Fanny's birth record there is no father named and Elizabeth was recorded as having a middle name of Sarah. She had a Harlow address (can't make out the street name).  This is the last I can find on Elizabeth or Elizabeth Sarah Ellis.  Her baby Fanny was living with grandparents John & Ann Ellis on the 1861 census and with step relatives on the 1871 census. Fanny's marriage record to John Dorrington states that her father's name was Henry Ellis and that he was a publican.  I have no idea whether there is any fact behind that.  I suspect that it was made up.  I would love to find out what became of Elizabeth.

Essex Lookup Requests / David Dorrington
« on: Thursday 17 October 13 01:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I am looking for the marriage details for David Dorrington b 1779 in Epping.  He married Sarah ?. They had 7 children, the first born William Dorrington in 1796 so I am assuming the marriage may have occurred in 1795 ish.  All the children where christened in Epping.

Family History Beginners Board / Help needed with Ridley
« on: Monday 14 October 13 22:03 BST (UK)  »
I am facing a brick wall with the parents of a direct ancestor James Ridley.  I have a copy of his English marriage certificate and his Australian death certificate and here is the information I know: James Ridley was born abt 1820.  His death cert states in Cumberland but I am wondering whether that was mistaken for Northumberland (can't find anything in Cumberland). He married Sarah Handcock from Tanfield Durham in 1847 at the Gateshead Reg Office. Marriage cert gives father's name as John Ridley, death cert gives father's name as James. At time of marriage both Sarah & James are living at Marley Hill Whickham, Durham. James & Sarah migrated to Australia in 1848/9 so there will be no 1851 census for them. Their son George Ridley's birth & baptism was registered in Whickham in 1847. I am hoping some fresh eyes might help me with this.  I have been going around in circles for quite some time.

Australia / Birthplace Abbreviations for Victoria, Australia
« on: Wednesday 18 September 13 09:06 BST (UK)  »
Can any one help with the abbreviation BR AN given as a birthplace in Victoria, Australia?  My guess it is a suburb in Melbourne.  Previous birth places for other children have been Cheltenham and Hotham.  Can usually work these out but this one has me stumped.

Family History Beginners Board / Parish Records
« on: Monday 16 September 13 22:22 BST (UK)  »
How can I access a copy of a parish record, not just the transcript?  I have a few brick walls where a parish record transcript does not have details of parent/s.  I am hoping an actual copy just may solve this perhaps.  I am from Australia so it's not that easy to pop into a record office.
