Wiltshire / Re: Bollin (Boling, Bolling)
« on: Thursday 17 March 16 12:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi, yes, I'm using Ancestry UK, Find My Past, Family Search and FreeReg. I've got as far as the late 1500s with the Amor/Amer/Aymer/Amar/Amours, and just traced Rebekah today - I was looking for Bolling. Perhaps we can help one-another.

You've probably already found her, but, yes, she was John & Catherine's daughter, b. 1776, baptized 31 Jan.

Hi, I'm trying to find photos too, as the Venours are my forebears (Alice Venour was my 10th g-grandmother); on the British Listed Buildings website, it's The Manor House, Wellesbourne, and the address is Chestnut Square, Wellesbourne, CV35 9QT; if you go via Google Maps, it looks as though it's not one of the houses in the square, but opposite, and surrounded by trees!

Montgomeryshire / Re: John Newill
« on: Monday 11 May 15 11:13 BST (UK) »I am searching for the parents of John Newill born c. 1771 'out of the county' in the 1841 census.Hi, the only John (all spellings, inc. Nule) I've found who was apprenticed as a tailor was John Newell in Poulton, Lancashire, in 1783, to John Lawton, which would be a bit young, possibly, according to the dob of 1771 that he gives.
In his Marriage Bond to Elizabeth Hekin (Ekin) 1798 he is described as a tailor and married at Guilsfield. He does not appear on the Shropshire records. Were there any boundary changes which could place him in Radnorshire or elsewhere ?
On looking at the 1841 Census again, though, I notice there's a mark beside where he says 'no' to born in County, which the ennumerator sometimes put to indicate an incorrect answer.

Shropshire / Re: Shropshire Lay Subsidy Roll 1524-7
« on: Monday 04 May 15 16:59 BST (UK) »Richard Newall (40/- paid 12d subsidy) of Cleobury Borough (1525) is the only Richard listed in the 1524-7 Lay Subsidy.Darn, so it's just an incorrect rumour! Thank you so much for checking for me - that's extremely kind of you. Hope you had a good holiday.

Montgomeryshire / Re: John Newill
« on: Sunday 19 April 15 00:07 BST (UK) »I am searching for the parents of John Newill born c. 1771 'out of the county' in the 1841 census.I forgot to say that entries on the Census can be incorrectly trascribed, or the people themselves give differing information - he may have thought 'town' rather than county if he was born in Llanwnog, as I'm beginning to believe. Just a thought!

Montgomeryshire / Re: John Newill
« on: Sunday 19 April 15 00:04 BST (UK) »Thank you for your replies. John Newill was a tailor on his marriage bond in the Welsh Library and later overseer for the poor who would also supervise settlement of newcomers into the Parish. He is my gt gt gt grandfather through William Beattie and Elizabeth Newill. We are interested in tracing John Newill back as he says he wasn't born in the County in 1841; There is a similar blockage with William Beattie who was born in Dumfries (shire)1796/7 and was a travelling teadealer, who seems to have 'linked up' with Elizabeth Newill on his travels and was married hurriedly by licence at Meols Brace in 1824. He later farmed at Red Bank and had the vote in 1860.We have traced back Elizabeth Hekin John's wife but her mother Jane Owen's roots are difficult to trace. We have a good tree for the Hekin;ekin .Eakin, Ikin Family in Shropshire.Hi, I've just found that John NewEll, 'taylor' of Pool, was master to an apprentice, Isaac Jones, in 1806, which at least shows that the name was spelt differently depending on the person who recorded it - I've found Nules, Nowells, Nuwales etc.!
