Somerset Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 / 1861 - George Spurway Bridgwater
« on: Monday 06 March 06 06:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Keith (and HeatherB, if you see this post)

I was doing a search in the site for the name Spurway and found these posts. It so happens that the Peter and Thomas Spurway mentioned here living beside each other are older brothers of my husband's gg grandmother Eliza Spurway (their father was named Thomas and apparently their grandfather was Peter, though I haven't confirmed this).
I've really just started to research this family so I haven't found any connection to your George. Have you found any connection? There didn't seem to be many Spurways in north Somerset back then, so I was just curious.

And Heather, if you happen to see this post, thank you so much for this bit of info.

Best of luck in the ongoing search

A little young maybe, but the only George Spurway on the Beavington 1851 transcription, and an innkeeper :-

There were a couple of Spurways in Bridgwater, living next door to each other. I'll give you those in case they tie in.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Rachel Mills - Middleton 1841
« on: Monday 27 February 06 00:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello from a newbie

This is my first post, so here it goes.

I'm hoping someone can lookup my ggg grandmother, Rachel Mills on the 1841 census. She was born approx 1826 in Middleton, as per the 1881 census. According to her marriage cert. to my ggg grand father George Wild, her father was a labourer named James Mills. I would really like to find out her mother's name and if she had any siblings.

Thank you

JB
