Buckinghamshire / Re: Advice on placename spelling please
« on: Saturday 06 August 05 11:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi Pauline

Here are the two images, one from 1861 is just before his wife's death - they have moved to London Road Guildford at this time.  On the second one, 1871,  he is living in Providence Street Woking with his daughter Emma.  He died there a year later.

Estimated birth date is 1791.  He was a papermaker, and then cut hair once he was older.

If you can make anything better of the script I'd be greateful.

I had assumed that it was High Wycombe but that the transcriber in Surrey guessed at the spelling.

Many thanks

Ashley

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / SAUNDERS: 1841 in Godalming - completed

I'm trying to clarify the birth places of my GGG grandparents who were living in Godalming from about 1815 through until their deaths.

Their names are Thomas John Saunders (papermaker) , and his wife Hannah.  She I think is from Pirbright but his is unclear in later censuses.  They had children Emma, Josiah, Alexander, Eliza, Ann, William, and possibly a Thomas. 

When all of their children were baptised they were living in Mead Row

Any information about the date of birth of the later Thomas would also be useful.

Many thanks

My GGG grandfather, Thomas John Saunders, lived most of his live in Godalming, however in the 1871 census his place of birth is described as High Wickham, but in Surrey.  In the 1861 census it is stated as High Ham, Buckinghamshire.

Can anyone with more experience of research in Buckinghamshire tell me if the spelling High Whickham is common?

Thankyou

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Saunders - help with marriage please
« on: Sunday 31 July 05 19:01 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the marriage of my ancestors.  Thomas John Saunders' wife is called Hannah.  She is from Pirbright born about 1789 and he is born in High Wycombe about 1790.

I have been unable to find their marriage either in Pirbright or in Godalming where they settled.

Their first child as far as I know is a Josiah Saunders who was born in 1816, but there may be an elder child as there is a witness to Josiah's first marriage called Henry Saunders, but I have yet to find out who he is.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Northumberland / Pickards in Alnwick - Silk Weaver?
« on: Sunday 31 July 05 18:52 BST (UK)  »
I am researching my Pickard relatives in Alnwick during the period 1780-1860. 

There are only two families and I am trying to find out if they are related.  There is an elder Joseph who married twice and an elder George who also married twice.  I am trying to work out if a younger Joseph born about 1827 is the son of the elder Joseph's second marrage or from George's first marriage.

I am also puzzled by the fact that the elder Joseph is a Silk Weaver.  Does anyone know if that every took place in Alnwick?

Many thanks
