Buckinghamshire / Re: John Beasley
« on: Monday 21 April 14 11:58 BST (UK)  »
I have John Beasly marr Rebecca Green on 13 Oct 1873 at Wingrave, Bucks. I got this from England Select marriages on Ancestry.  However it does show groom at John Bazely. The 1841 & 1851 Census has him as John Baisley, 1861 he is John Beatley! I do believe he is the same person in each census. I took his age from 1841 census but as the ages were rounded up and down then, there could be a range of 10 years for his real birth. Birthplace does appear to be Stewkley. I am now working through various possibilities to get his birth.
Hope this helps, I too am struggling a lot with this line now!

Stirlingshire / Finlayson and Allan - marriage details please
« on: Tuesday 11 March 14 05:56 GMT (UK)  »
I have been searching for a marriage between John FINLAYSON b 1700 in Stirling and Margaret Allan.  They are 6 x great grandparents of my husband.  Although I have been able to find the christenings of their children, I cannot find the marriage.  Any help would be appreciated.   ???

Bedfordshire / Re: Holland - 1841 Potsgrove Census

John - You are such a star!  Sorry for delay in replying - retirement = too much time, too much to catch up on and fun to be had!  I am reasonably comfortable with your suggestion that these are the parents.  At present I m trying to work out why Family Search has managed to transcribe the bride as Elizabeth "Steinforth"!  I guess we never know for sure who our ancestors are, without DNA proof, and I think that is a road to be avoided.  It's hard enough trying to explain, bastardy orders, children abandoned in workhouses without raising more questions!   ;D
Thanks again, this Bedfordshire list is certainly more helpful than some of the others I watch.

I think you might be right - I had the burials - interesingly enough the Benjamin christened at Soulbury was also the son of Holland & Elizabeth, so may tie them all together.  Could I be cheeky enough to ask if you could give details of witnesses to John & Elizabeth's marriage?  I wish I had known all this when I last visited Potsgrove and Sheep Lane many years ago.  Maybe next year I'll make it again.
Thanks again
Aileen :D

Thanks for that JohnP!  I have found a Benjamin Holland christened in Soulbury, Bucks (Father Holland, Mother Elizabeth) in 1791 which could match, as ages were rounded in 1841 Census. I might post a query to Bucks board to see if there is anyone who is researching that Holland line who can tell me more.  There does seem to be a bit of movement between Bucks and Beds in both lines of my family and my husband.  WIll have to sort out names and post some time. Thanks for your help - much appreciated. :)

Only just found Rootschat & saw this message!  My 3 x gt grandmother was Elizabeth Charters born in Little Brickhill but died in Woburn. Her parents were Mathew Charters & Ann Dodson.  Any relation to yours?

Thanks for such a prompt response - no, I haven't been able to see actual marriage record, as was pre-1837, and have only seen Potsgrove marriages from registers when researching this line many years ago.  Have looked on-line for Berkshire births, but will try again. Hoping to get back to England towards end of 2014 so may hit the record offices then!

Bedfordshire / Holland - 1841 Potsgrove Census
« on: Wednesday 25 September 13 05:23 BST (UK)  »
According to 1841 Census Benjamin Holland, husband of Ann Dear, was 45, not born in county and despite long searches have been unable to trace his forbears - any suggestions please?  I do realise that there could be quite a variation of dob.  Occupation was shown as farmer.  He died before next Census.
