Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: OXF Baptism Lookup: Woodbridge @ Little Milton
« on: Wednesday 16 February 22 02:08 GMT (UK)  »
Yeah note the name change/preference over time. Was "Maria" in later 1841 (50yo), 1851 (61yo) , 1861 (71yo) Censuses and 1863 Death (74yo). But randomly Maria for son John's 1818 Baptism.
But ages consistent over time.
I'm presently grouping the available Woodbridge families at Little Milton c.1790 to try to find where she fits in, if baptism is missing/not obvious eg baptised a while after birth.

Thanks for that. Close but I think but not quite the same, a little young and 1814 Marriage to John Doggett was "Ann Maria Woodbridge".  But its still the best bet so far, but I'll keep looking.
thanks again

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / OXF Baptism Lookup: Woodbridge @ Little Milton
« on: Sunday 13 February 22 04:56 GMT (UK)  »
Baptism lookup pls, of Ann Maria Woodbridge b1790 @Little Milton area. Also listed as "Maria" in later Censuses.
Listed consistently as being born c.1790 in the Little Milton area, so could be also baptised in Great Milton, Great Haseley etc.  OXF-FHS lists these as the Thame region.
Any help would be gratefully accepted thankyou

Australia / Alfred HOY
« on: Wednesday 20 March 19 22:20 GMT (UK)  »
Ah brother Alfred, he was a successful shopkeeper in Warialda, NSW. His nickname was 'Stephen' as I suspect he was nicknamed after an an older brother Stephen who died in Fulbourn,Cambridge before he was born.  His brother (my ancestor) Thomas went from Lambton in Newcastle to build Alfred's store in Warialda in the early 1890s.  But in the mid 1890s Alfred fell in love with his housekeeper/nanny Margaret Greenwood and ran away to Pennant Hills, Sydney (near Fulbourne Ave - a giveaway). 
He spent a lot of trouble 'not being seen', and it took years of research to track him down; but I found he changed/used the name as just 'ALFRED', and his sons from this relationship took that name as their surname.  There are DNA matches to these children's families and mine. He's buried at Rookwood Anglican as Alfred HOY.

Australia / Re: George AH HOY
« on: Saturday 05 January 19 06:28 GMT (UK)  »
This discussion has been going on for a years about 'George Hoy', of Charters Towers, QLD - was he of Chinese 'AH HOY' or Cambridge England 'HOY' ?  My recent DNA test has cleared it up I hope.
I  mentioned earlier that I'm descendant from 2 of the Fulbourn Cambridge HOYS from the 1855 ship 'Constitution', and I proposed the George Hoy of Charters Towers QLD, was a long lost brother of these Hoys of Maitland, NSW. I was put down proposing such a notion, so I sighed and put the BMD certificates away in the drawer as duds. 
But the DNA test is in and YES I am closely linked to those QLD Hoys (ref Ancestry.com trees +DNA).  So I think I'm safe to assume he wasn't Chinese, but he was a baker.  Check Trove for articles in "Toowoomba Chronicle".
But for some unknown reason c.1867-71 he was obfuscating his name to 'Hood' to make it hard to track him down; maybe like his brother William he had legal troubles? 
So case closed as far as I'm concerned.  Any Qs on the lineage just ask. bye

Shropshire Lookup Requests / WOMBRIDGE Marriage Lookup please.
« on: Thursday 15 November 18 04:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, it seems that only the Shropshire FHS has marriages at Wombridge 1751-1802.  SFHS Marriage index CD is listed as having the records that the IGI (and FindMyPast) doesn't.  So if anybody has that CD could they please help with a lookup. 
I'm after a marriage at Wombridge c.1785-1801, for a Thomas TRANTER and Sarah (unknown).  Their first child I can find was baptised at Wombridge in 1801. 
Any help gratefully accepted.

Shropshire / Re: WOMBRIDGE pre-1802 Marriage records - do they still exist?
« on: Thursday 15 November 18 04:28 GMT (UK)  »
thanks.  They only take posted overseas money orders, and I'm in Australia, so I'll ask for a lookup online.

Shropshire / WOMBRIDGE pre-1802 Marriage records - do they still exist?
« on: Wednesday 14 November 18 23:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, after not being able to find specific Marriage records at Wombridge in my research, I decided to find out if they still existed.  Familysearch/wiki says the IGI has years 1721-51, 1802-1812, 1814-1836; so there is a gap 1751-1802 and 1813.  Shropshire Archives states that they only have them on fiche for 1802-1880, and FindMyPast has 1722-1880 with gaps. I checked FindMyPast and they don't have Marriages pre-1802.
So does anybody know if the M records exist and if so where they are?
Knowing for sure that they don't exist would be good too, as I can stop looking :)
Any help much appreciated.
thanks
