Kent / Re: Elizabeth Wilson 1813 Woolwich - ? father Alexander Wilson Woolwich Barracks?
« on: Monday 07 May 18 20:21 BST (UK) »
Find My Past and Free Reg. Find my past indicates parents are Alexander (gunner in artillery) and Catherine bapt. 8 Aug 1813. FreeReg, in addition, has a baptism 5 May 1813, with parents John (a musician) and Ann. The subsequent names of Elizabeth's children do not include any of these first names so not of help. Unless I find others researching this part of the family I don't think I will get far.
Thanks! J

Kent / Elizabeth Wilson 1813 Woolwich - ? father Alexander Wilson Woolwich Barracks?
« on: Monday 07 May 18 19:38 BST (UK) »
I am researching my GGG grandmother Elizabeth Wilson. She was born 1813 in Woolwich although married in Lancashire to John Walton. All census records indicate she was born in Woolwich in this time frame and she could be the daughter of Alexander Wilson and his wife Catherine, who appear to be from Scotland, he being a gunner in the artillery stationed at Woolwich Barracks. Does anyone have information on how to research records related to the military/ Woolwich Barracks? Any help would be most welcome, thank you.

Hi Lizzie
Thanks for the info! I have the siblings that you list, I also have the first John, 6 Mar 1753 - 18 Aug 1754. I just did another search for Heydour and found Sarah Barron baptised 5 Aug 1744, parents Joseph and Elizabeth. However that still leaves a gap between Sarah and William in 1750. I wonder if the records are incomplete for that time period. I also don't see any other children with Joseph Barrand as their father when I search the whole of Lincolnshire on FreeReg although you may have more luck on Find My Past bearing in mind you may have to search for Barron and Barrond as well as Barrand!!

Thank you so much Geoff!
This is great information and it does look very likely to be the parents of Elizabeth, which means for Lizzie our shared ancestors are Joseph Barrand born 1721 baptised in Heydour (probably living in Kelby) 2 April 1721. and his wife Elizabeth Sandall born in Rippingale 1719. Baptised 20 Mar 1719. Joseph is the father of Thomas Barrand and William Barrand.
Thanks!! Joanne

Hi Lizzie,
Thanks for replying! I don't have Elizabeth born 1786 in my tree. I do have a William who was brother to Thomas, my 4th GGrandfather and was born 1750 in Kelby. So in theory, he could have been father to Elizabeth but I can't find a marriage between William and an Alice. I think it is highly likely that Elizabeth is part of the Barrand family I have in my tree, because they are all in the Sleaford area. Perhaps we are linked a bit further back though. Also, the name Barrand is frequently spelt differently (Barrond, Barron, Bairond, Barrant) so I am pretty sure your record with Barran is the right record. My family had a theory that the Barrands were huguenots, but I have not found evidence of that, other than Barrand is also found as a French last name. My Barrand tree extends to Joseph Barrand b. 1665, I can send you a link to my ancestry.com tree if you can let me have an email to invite you. Welcome to the Barrands!

Lincolnshire / Searching for Barrand, Tindall, Sandall and Robinson familes in Lincolnshire

I can get back to 1600's with some of the families, but not much information. My mother was Jewel Barrand and have traced back to Lincolnshire. Rebecca Tindall married Thomas Barrand in 1786 in Cranweli. I have a tree on ancestry that I can share but please let me know if you have any info. Thank you!!!
