Hi Peggy B

I don't think I can help. The Thomas I was tracing only had female descendants (that I could find) so the name would not continue into the next generation.

His parents Joel 1667 at Cutcombe and Joan did have male descendants other than Thomas but I did not research these.

Hi Paco

The family you identify on the 1841 Census is the correct one although I have slightly different birth dates and there was another son Thomas who was born and died in 1842.

The information on John Gill 1776 is new for me so I will follow this up. Thanks for taking the time to respond and if you do ever come across John Dunham please let me know.

Hi Rosie

Good point, I'm jumping to conclusions again.

There was a Gill family (John & Ann) in Witchford at the right time. They have children born between 1797 and 1818 and have a nice gap around 1805 for my Ely baptism to slot into. However, all the other children were baptised in Witchford, so nice solution but no proof.

Thanks for the reply, all information is useful.

Hi

 Can anyone help me with finding the birth place and baptism dates for John Dunham and  Alice Gill both of Witchford. Census returns show them both as being  born in Witchford. The parish records also show their marriage in Witchford on the 9th August 1824 with both shown as of this parish, however, neither are listed in the baptism records for the parish.

I have found an Alice Gill baptised at Holy Trinity Ely in 1805 which may be the one I am looking for but there is no sign of John or of a Robert Dunham who was a witness at the wedding. IGI and FreeReg have also drawn a blank.

Are there non conformist records for the area that I can search or can anyone give me a hint on where to look?

Thanks

Hi

I am looking for Florence May Williamson born 2 Jun 1893. Her father’s name was Edward and she married a Charles Elloway on 25 Dec 1920 in Lambeth London. My problem is that I do not know where she came from.

I have been going through all the Florence May Williamsons I can find online but without any luck. However, there was one born in Salford at the right time. She appears in the 1901 Census but unfortunately she was a visitor at someone else’s house so I cannot check the father’s name.

I am getting desperate. It’s the wife’s grandma and she cannot believe that I can spend all these hours on the computer and cannot find out where her grandma came from!

Do you have any useful information?

Hi Paul

Thanks for the information. The IGI shows further dates for Clatworthys in Cutcombe but I am not sure how reliable the data is.

It has the marriage of Joel and Joan as 1695 in Cutcombe but this may just be a guess based on their first born William. It also shows Joel's parents as William Clatworthy born Cutcombe 1634 and Joan Ridler born Cutcombe 1637, they married in Cutcombe in 1657.

William Clatworthy 1634 was the son of William Clatworthy born Culcombe 1614 and Emot Towill born Cutcombe 1616. They married in Cutcombe in 1634

I run out of ideas beyond that. There are Clatworthy families in Devon that can be traced back as far as 1430 but I cannot see a link to those. There are also Clatworthy families in Clatworthy in the 1580s but again I cannot see a link yet.

If you could check the Cutcombe dates above it would be very helpful.

Thanks

Martin

Hi Trevor,

Yes I should have put Cutcombe - sorry.

I have traced a line back to Thomas Clatworthy, birth Cutcombe about 1703.

I have also found the family of Joel Clatworthy 1667 married to Joan Clatworthy 1674. They had children:-
William 1695
Mary 1699
Joan 1701
Nathaniel 1707
Abraham 1708
Grace 1711
Sarah 1713
Ann 1715

I cannot find anything to link Thomas to this family although his birth date of 1703 would fit nicely into the family profile. I am hoping the parish records can confirm this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Martin

Trying to identify the parents of Thomas Clatworthy. I think it may be Joel 1667 and Joan 1674. Is there anyone with access to the parish records that could check it for me please?
