England / Surname Interests - Please Help! Blay / Sherfield / Caswell / Welch
« on: Friday 02 July 21 18:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

I am new to Roots Chat and am researching my family, I have hit a few dead ends and have come here to hopefully get some help from others researching the same families and maybe even find some relatives  :)

I am searching more on my maternal side as my father left when I was 2 years old so I have little to no information on his side, however is anyone has information on the Clough / Matthews / Docwra, from Essex , Ireland and Fuham/Chelsea respectively then I would be grateful to learn more.

Predominantly I am researching my mothers side, my surname interest are as follows:

Blay Family - I believe origins are Berkshire

Sherfield Family - Origins of Bentley, Hampshire, however I know my uncle migrated to Canada so there may be family over there too

Caswell Family - Berkshire / Wiltshire - however I may have crossed my wires on this side

Welch Family - Chertsey / Lynne / Thorpe

However I am also researching my ancestors on the Wells (Surrey), Allen (Surrey), Riddick (Surrey), Axten (Buckinghamshire), Rosam (Surrey) and Gosden (Surrey) families.

Most of my family on the Blay and Caswell side that remain are still living in the Chertsey/Addlestone area.

I would love to get in touch with more family and share our research if you feel you are connected to my line.

Thanks so much for reading and I look forward to seeing if anyone has any further information!

Family History Beginners Board / Caswell Family Tree Help (Wiltshire & Surrey)
« on: Thursday 01 July 21 15:01 BST (UK)  »
Hello All!

I am new to this and this probably a long shot but I am after some help on the Caswell Family, originating in Wiltshire.

Listed below are my findings so far (dates and locations included if I have them). Please feel free to add or correct me as I may have got lines crossed over:

John Caswell m. Elizabeth Flower (b.1719)
           Their children:
                    Richard (b. 1742)
                    Mary (b. 1744)
                    John (b.1747)
                    Ann (b.1749)
                    William (b.1751)
                    Mary (b.1761)

My line follows down from William Caswell (1751) who m. Mary Brewer
         Their Children:
                     Nanny? (b.1765)
                     William (b.1772)
                     Richard (b. 1787)
                     Phoebe

Again my line descends from William Caswell (1772) who m. Ann Neate (1769)
         Their Children:
                     William (b.1790 - d. 1868)
                      Thomas (b.1793)
                      Ann (b.1795)
                      Mary Ann (b.1796) (likely the same child as above)
                      Henry (b. 1798)
                      James (b. 1800)
                      John (b. 1803)
                      Ann (b. 1807)

Again following down from William (1790-1868)  who m. Mary Morse (1792 - 1866)

My line continues from their child George Caswell (1833 - 1892) who m. Sarah Ann Huntley (1839 - 1910)

and their child, my GGG-Grandfather John Caswell who Married Amelia Riddick.

Can anybody validate or add to this? I'd love to go further back if anyone has more information, I have read of Caswells in Ireland, America and Canada but have not linked them to my family as of yet..
                     
Any support is much appreciated, thanks for reading!
