Worcestershire / The Potter family before 1500
« on: Wednesday 30 July 14 04:01 BST (UK)  »
I have managed to trace my family back to around 1500 in northern Oxfordshire.
I am wondering where they came from - possibly the Shipston on Stour area of
old Worcestershire.
Does anyone have any POTTER records (before 1500) in that area?

The Common Room / Re: Sources of information prior to 1600

Sadly, I am on the other side of the world - in Tasmania.
A trip to a local county office would be ... inconvenient.

The Common Room / Sources of information prior to 1600
« on: Wednesday 16 July 14 13:58 BST (UK)  »
I have reached an impasse with my research. I am heavily invested in Wills and Parish Records
for the period prior to 1600 (in Oxfordshire) but am at a loss when it comes to other sources of
material for the period. Consequently, I am interested in land/property records, Lay Subsidy
Rolls, Deeds, Manor Rolls, etc. but have no idea how to access such information.
Can anyone help?

The Common Room / No burial record - but there is a Will
« on: Monday 17 June 13 04:10 BST (UK)  »
While researching some wills I came across the following ...

Under appendix A of baps/burials 1653 -1723 (BHS publication) is a list of people..
*Wills of Banbury inhabitants for whom no entry occurs in the burial registers*
Will 1718 - POTTER Daniel, innholder of the Corporation of Banbury. PCB 49/2/12

How can there be a Will, but no burial record?

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Death at Sea - in New York harbour
« on: Wednesday 03 April 13 06:48 BST (UK)  »
It seems that John EALES (1818) moved to Liverpool and adopted the name WESTWICK (for reasons unknown) and appears on the 1871 Census as John WESTWICK, the 1881 Census as John E. WESTWICK and the 1891 Census as John Eales WESTWICK. He was buried as John EALES in 1894.   I can find no reference to WESTWICK in the EALES family history which begs the question ... why?

Thank you - but the period is too late. I'm looking for 1840 - 60.

Are there any passenger records of people departing New York and/or arriving in England in the mid 19th century?
