Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: William Beasley and Jane Panton baptisms c. 1775. Hampton Gay, Oxon.

I had a look through the Hampton Gay parish register for you (at least the one that is available online) and, unfortunately, I couldn't see any Beasleys (of any spelling) or Pantons.

It is even more difficult because William and Jane signed with their mark, which means that the spelling was based more on what the parish clerk heard and sometimes the result is so laughable, you wonder whether they had impacted wax!  ;D Not that spelling was consistent in those days, anyway.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Best of luck with your search,

Queenie  :)

Thankyou Queenie that is so kind of you to spend the time. Yes I have seen so many different variations of Beasley it makes me wonder how the name survived ....... or did it  ??? ???
I'm not sure where to look next but I'll keep trying. May have to delve deeper into the Acton records because what led me back to this was my GGGF, Elijah Beasley, who was born Brentford (according to census records), his father was William (not born in Middx) and I have two brothers of Elijah (Benjamin and Richard) also born Brentford and cannot find birth/baptism records for any of them.
Hey ho on we go  ;)
Thanks again for your efforts

You say you've tried the usual sites but have you looked on Ancestry?

They have scans of the original Hampton Gay parish registers available to view. Have you tried looking through them? I had a quick flick through but it doesn't look like the register was very well kept; it is strangely organised and I think there might be a few missing pages.

Ah thankyou Queenie.
When I was looking I was using the free library access during lockdown (which is now withdrawn) but I only tried a search. I didn't realise the scans were available to trawl through. I don't have an Ancestry sub. at the moment so will have to get down the library in person and see if I can find them.
Thanks so much for your interest and information.

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / William Beasley and Jane Panton baptisms c. 1775. Hampton Gay, Oxon.
« on: Saturday 02 October 21 11:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi. I am trying to confirm whether a particular person is my GGGGGF William Beasley.

I have a marriage for William to a Jane Panton in Acton, Middlesex in 1795 and their Parish is written as "Hampton Gay, Oxfordshire". His name is also transcribed Boosley but looking at the original it is Beesley.

I cannot find any info. on either of them through the usual online sites so wonder if anybody has access to PRs for the area to try to establish parents etc. I guess DOB would be around 1775.

Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any input.

Thanks ShaunJ - that probably rules out my theory  :-\

He looks like a Rifleman:

Two well known Rifle Regiments:
The King’s Royal Rifle Corps (1755-1966)
The Rifle Brigade (1800-1966)

Tony

Thanks Tony will try to investigate that avenue of enquiry.

Armed Forces / Anybody able to identify this uniform?
« on: Thursday 16 September 21 15:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi - need an expert eye to try to identify this uniform from the late 1800's early 1900's please.
Sorry about the quality but it's all I have.
Could it be artillery?
I'm trying to establish if this is a photo of William Manktelow who signed a short service attestation with the Royal Sussex Regiment in 1884 but also served with East Kent Regt and Middlesex Regt.
Many thanks.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Latin translation of Parish marriage record
« on: Thursday 08 July 21 17:03 BST (UK)  »
Thankyou Bookbox, excellent work as always - I got no further than amo, amas, amat in latin  ;D

I have had a look at a few other entries and there are at least two different hands on the page I have downloaded, and you are right different priests give varying amounts of information.
The one who entered this marriage uses the same format in the other marriage he entered but the other hand gives slightly more detail of address including the abode of witnesses down to street address!

I'm now happy that this the right marriage and have a further set of names to investigate in Ireland - that's not going to be easy  ::)

Many thanks once again

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Latin translation of Parish marriage record
« on: Thursday 08 July 21 14:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi all. I have a record of the marriage of my GGGF John Sullivan. I have the copy of the civil registration and have just found on FindMyPast the parish records for Dockhead Bermondsey which will give me both sets of parents  ;D
I have found John in 1851 census living with his mother (Margaret) in Wright Buildings Bermondsey which is the same address as the marriage certificate.
Im just a bit confused as the parish record transcription has residence as Hiberniae but the certificate has their residence as Bermondsey.
Attached is a copy of the Parish entry. Have the transcribers confused residence with place of birth?

Thanks for any learned help.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Irish baptism record unreadable bits......
« on: Tuesday 29 June 21 16:31 BST (UK)  »
Excellent, thanks for the confirmation Gadget.
It gives me a strong link between the Crow and Sullivan families.
My GGGF John Sullivan married an Ellen Crow (fathers name James) in 1854 in Bermondsey, London so it begins to come together ..........
Still needing further evidence - the search continues.

Many thanks DB10
