Hi bhlong

I think I've worked out who's who, and have Samuel Atterby Junior c1797. I think he's the Methodist Preacher I "Googled" and would love to know more about him and confirm or rule this out.

Can you tell me the source of your info regarding the Woolhouses and him living with them pre-1841 in Hull please?

Hi Lesanne

Thanks for the offer.

It's mainly the Hatch family, initially at Shinfield; I've got them from familysearch going back to the marriage of John Hatch and Susannah Holloway 15/7/1765. Shinfield, Berkshire, down to the familysearch info that John Hatch baptised 6/9/1801, Shinfield, Berkshire. parents John Hatch and Sarah. I've not got a marriage for him but his daughter (the first child I have for them) was baptised in Shinfield: Hannah Hatch baptised 3/6/1827, Shinfield, Berkshire. parents John Hatch and Maria. They had other children in Shinfield (found via the census): Charles c1830, Thomas c1833, Phillip c1836, John c1838, Sarah baptised 26/7/1840 (from familysearch), Marianne baptised 6/11/1842 (from familysearch), William c1845 and Frederick c1847.

Thomas is my 3 x great grandfather and I purchased a copy of his marriage certificate: Thomas Hatch, Father John Hatch and Mary Cusden, Father Richard Cusden married 3/1/1859 the Parish Church, St Giles, Reading, Berkshire. (The Cusdens were also from Shinfield and I have baptisms but not marriages from familysearch back to Thomas c1770.)

They then have children born in Pangbourne: Hannah 1859 (goes to Brighton), Mary 1860 (goes to Surrey), John 1862 and Sarah 1865 (think death record: Sarah Jane Hatch born c1865. died aged 15yrs, Sept' qtr 1880, Bradfield District, Berkshire, assume Pangbourne where she was living in 1871 and parents are still living in 1881).

John 1862 is my great great grandfather and I purchased a copy of his marriage certificate too: John Hatch, Father Thomas Hatch and Annie Simmonds, Father Samuel Simmonds married 25/12/1883 at St Jude's Church in the parish of East Bristow, Surrey. They then go to London and have children in various districts!

Our biggest stumbling block at the moment is Annie Simmonds. From the census after she was married, she was born c1859 either READING Berkshire England or Caversham, Oxfordshire, England. We've found some Annie Simmonds on the census but not with a father Samuel like the marriage certificate says and tehre's too many to go ordering the possible birth certificates!  So just checking out this possibility would be a fantastic help without taking up too much of your time, unless any of the rest fits in with what you are already doing.

Thanks so much

Hello

I too am researching these people. I am researching my uncle's ancestors for him and they are his 3 x great grandparents via their daughter Ann who, according to freereg was baptised North Somercotes, 8/6/1830. She married Joseph Dunham.

Where do you come in from as I may have more info to help!
