London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Augustine Brown

Thank you, I will definitely look into this. The family were all carpenters by trade so could have come to London to make their fortune!

Good point!!
I think I’ve always assumed ,which I know is a no no, that all that branch of the family were born and bred Londoners.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Augustine Brown
« on: Friday 11 December 20 14:37 GMT (UK)  »
Could someone please point me in a direction where I might find the parents of Augustine Brown. He was born about1762 in London. At the time of his death he resided in the parish of Aldgate and was buried at Christchurch. His wife was Ann Sidney who he married in 1789.
Many thanks mdb

Lincolnshire / Re: BOCOCK Ancestors in Lincolnshire

Hi
I have just come across this post and have read it with great interest.
My husband is a Bocock born in Scunthorpe. John Tranfield is his great, great grandfather. I have never been sure about his wife believing it to be either Sarah Kirgarth or Sarah Corringham Woodhead. His father Benjamin was born around 1800 and died in Brigg Union workhouse. His father was William and I think had 2 marriages firstly to Susannah Oxley and then to Ann Blanchard. The spelling of Bocock varies a good deal and I’m not always sure if I’m following the same line! Geoff’s William is my husband’s 5X g grandfather born in Irby and married to Mary Gunnel. I think his father could be a Samuel Bocock born in 1726.
If anyone has firm evidence for any of these Bococks I would be very grateful as my tree is full of question marks!

In answer to Rosy the names William and ann appear in some old family papers although there is no indication as to Ann’s maiden name.
The 17th April entry on Ancestry is the same Charles who was baptised in 1810. Also is it possible that the  Rhoadley entered on the 1851 census as place of birth is a mistake for  Rothley?
In which case I could be mistaken as to William’s wife and the family that Suzard found could be the right one.
Thanks for all the help.

From census info Charles was born about 1809 in Rhoadley Leicestershire. I have no baptismal  records for him. He married Mary ann Roberts in 1834 and moved to Nottingham where he appears on census records from 1841. He died in 1866.

In the space of 10 minutes how quickly one goes back to the drawing board! I’ve just checked the children of William North from Suzards post on family search and their mother is named as Ann Pollard so still looking.........

I think that Suzard has found my William North. The dates for their son Charles would tie in with mine. I have come across the other William North before but the dates for him aren’t right and my William definitely married an Ann Whitehead - I think!!!!!!
Many thanks mdb

Leicestershire / William North of Twyford
« on: Saturday 31 March 18 14:43 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information on a William North of Twyford Leicestershire. I believe he was born in 1766 and married an Ann Whitehead in 1791. They had a son Charles in about 1809. Apart from the marriage in Leicestershire Parish Records I can find no other trace of him. The birth date comes from Family Search but they don’t give a source.
Thanks mdb
