Hi Lawrence

Yes I found Agnes married to William 24th September 1542.    But daft as it may seem, I thought I put a load of marriages that I couldn't find in the tree on to a word document, but I cannot find that now and I was only reading it now.    I am almost definitely definitely sure that I had an Anne Bloxham Ingles marrying a Sowtherne, I was ploughing through Phillimores on screen.   I had a couple of other Sowtherne's marrying into our Bloxham, Mauncel, Cartwright family on there as well - not only from Aston Subedge.   I will keep on looking for it, but if I don't find it I will go back online to find Phillimores again.   What I cannot understand is why I didn't put this marriage straight on to the tree.

Regarding other peoples trees.    I prefer to look up the answers for myself and sometimes they pan out and at others they don't.   I do look at other peoples trees, but then I try to go to the registers to qualify the information.   When I lived in Worcester I made several trips to Gloucester to confirm information I had from an American Ben Bloxham and everything he had in his tree panned out OK.  He had John Ingulls of Mickleton, but said that it was not a proven link.

The visitations are a good source of information, but when you get back to earlier dates, the information is from the descendants and it is possible that their memory might play tricks.   My tree goes back to Thomas Ingles who married Alice (hopefully Bloxham) circa 1518 has been proved by his will.   I have the transcript of his will which I can let you have if you write to me direct.  In this he gives his wife's name as Alys.    As yet it has not been proved that she was Alice Bloxham, but it is a strong possibility as that is when the Ingulls alias Bloxham started.   I have Thomas as being buried 6th Jan 1556 and Alice as 28th June 1557/8 depending upon which calendar is used

John Ingulls who was living in Mickleton unfortunately we do not have dates for him as even his will was undated and I haven't been able to find a burial record in Mickleton for him either although in his will he wrote And my body to be buryed in the churcheyard of Mykyelton.   We know from his will that he had 8 children and although the will was "mouse eaten" along the the right hand side, we know three of the children were Wylyam, Rose, Thomas but non of the others.  There is no mention of a wife, but she might have died before him.    Because Ralph was living in Subedge, but asked to be buried at Mickleton, we have tentatively put John Ingulls as being the father of OUR Thomas, but of course he might be a completely different Thomas.   I suppose a visit to the churchyard in Mickleton might be worth a visit, especially if the church is open, if Thomas was well off as he must have been he might have a memorial in the actual church.

There is a certain amount of proof that there were Ingles/Ingulls/Ingelles and other deriviatives in Gloucester from 1268, but because of a lack of parish records before 1530 it is difficult to plough back much further.

I can send you a copy of my Bloxham family tree complete with notes of where the information came from starting with John Ingles but that will be over 30 pages, so I cannot put it here.   

I think what I am saying in a roundabout way is that I agree with Richard Bloxam from 1926.  Thomas was definitely Ralph's father, Ralph is in his will and probably John is Thomas's father.

In answer to your question about the Sowthernes.    Margaret was baptised at Holy Cross, Pershore father John Sowtherne, but I have not gone back any further as I said, Bill's ancestor was Jane Lee his other wife whose father was Anthony according to Ben Bloxham, this is one of the very few things that Ben had written down which I couldn't prove in one way or another.

I would also be interested in seeing your tree unfortunately with us Bill's Bloxhams only come down to Sarah Bloxham who was Christened in 1733 to William Brick in Upton on Severn.  So our Bloxham line is not into the 20th century like yours.

Hi Lawrence

I am not sure why I wasn't advised that there was a post on this subject.  So I have only just picked it up.

I have all your ancestors in my family tree down to William born c 1775 who married Anne Burnett in 1803 in Westminster.   I haven't gone down the tree any further than that.

I have discovered over the last couple of days that Ralph's sister Anne married a William Southern, I am now trying to find out whether William and Ralph's first wife Margaret Southern were related, perhaps siblings.

Margaret being your ancester whereas Bill is descended from his second wife Jane Lee.    I am still trying to chase the marriage of Thomas Ingles to Alice (although I might be proved wrong, I still think she might be a Bloxham as this is where the Bloxham Ingles - Ingles Bloxham seemed to start with their children.

Eric, You are interested in Warwickshire, There is a Dorothy Bloxham born Great Alne, Warwickshire who married Phillip Lyttleton of Studley Castle.   This Dorothy is also descended from Ralph Bloxham.   Her ancestors are Ralph, Robert, Thomas, Richard and Robert (born Offenham and died Great Alne).  This Dorothy's granddaughter (another Elizabeth) was born Studley.

Is that any help in getting the Warwickshires/Worcestershires/Bloxhams all together in one family

Hi Jenny

Lovely to know that you read my message, I was very dubious after all that time.

Unfortunately I have let my subscription to Ancestry.co.uk lapse, but I am still on there as a free member and I know that I can view other trees if the owner gives permission for me to do so.   My husband's cousin Margaret has allowed me to view her tree as have other members of the family.
I think I said I was researching on behalf of a cousin Mary and she is extremely interested in the Hardy family, she mentioned something about a tree on ancestry, I wonder if that was yours.

The tree you speak of is for Robert Carlos Hardy and his wife Ellen Pinheiro with their only daughter Gladys.

If you look at Robert in the 1830 census, you will see he is living with 'wife' Mildred and children Hope, Carlton, Robert, Rosa, Mary and Stanley.    I have not been able to find the marriage to Mildred, hence in inverted commas.   I know Robert died c 1933 and that Mildred came back to England at that time.    Mildred was born Mildred Bartlett, daughter of George Bartlett, George was the son of George Bartlett and Harriett Bennett.  It is the Bennett family I am related to.

I have details of Robert Carlos's war record and I know he went back and forth between Trinidad and Ellis Island.   I also have his Ellis Island record from when he left England after WW1.   

I know a little about Robert Henry such as he was at school at Uppingham and a lieutenant in the Hussars and was promoted to Captain in 1884.    I also know his father was Peruvian consul in Barbados.     I would love to know more about the family as I am putting this together on a family tree and then printing it out for the other Bennett clan.

What is really bugging us, is the fact that we cannot find a death for Robert, or for his son Stanley and daughter Mary, they must have died in the USA as they did not come back home with Mildred.  That would have had to be late 1932 or very early 1933 as Mildred arrived back in London in April 1933.   

I would love to know more about the French connection and as I said, I can give you loads of details about the Bartlett/Bennetts.

I am on Genes Reunited as well.   If I put Robert Carlos on there - haven't so far, we might be able to get in touch that way.

Hi Jenny

I would have loved to have contacted your direct, but Rootsweb deleted your e.mail address.

This seems a bit daft, but my e.mail address was compromised back in 2008 and I changed it, therefore I did not get the reply you made to me in the August, so sincere apologies for that.

In the meantime I have a little more about Robert Carlos Hardy, he travelled to New York in 1904 and when asked said he had been there before in 1902.  In 1904 he says age 22 (1882)   He also was at Ellis Island in 1916 age 16 (1880)but there has already been talk of that before.   He gave his father as RH Hardy who was a Clerk in Trinidad.

Robert signed up in WW1 for the Gordon Highlanders 30 Aug. 1917 and I have his war record.   It looks as though he did not fight said in 1918 that he had a weak heart and gave names of two physicians who attended him in Trinidad before he signed up.   He gave his employers before signing up as Trinidad Shipping and Trading Company in Port of Spain, Trinidad and his history shows him as being born in Port of Spain and he was transferred to the reserves in September 1919.    It does not give his date of birth, at least I haven't found it.   He travelled back to New York from Liverpool on 14 May 1919 to stay with Mrs Johnson 70W 131st Street, Manhattan and this is where he was on the 1920 census.

I have found that he was married before in 1905 Trinidad to Ellen Gouveia and that he had one daughter.

Apart from that I have details of Robert Henry Hardy he was at Uppingham School from 1870 - 1873 His school roll record reads as follows "Hardy, Robert H (E) Nov. 1855. Son of R. Hardy, Knockeven House, Queenstown.   Queenstown is now Cobh in Co. Cork. 

Here also appears (as well as Harmer Brabazon Bond Hardy) to have been a daughter Louisa, but I cannot find anything else out about her.

It would be nice to actually exchange what information we have as I do like to get things right, but obviously Rootsweb automatically deletes e.mail addresses, so lets try in the long way all lower case with an @ in the middle and no spaces. Please note it is a moderator who deletes the email addresses, it is not done automatically! I have removed your email address accordingly.
