Hi.

I have found William Davis baptised in October 1792 in Northen to single parent Rebeccah. It looks like a good starting point.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks everyone. I shall try and see if I can find a William Davies born in or near Northen in about 1793.

I agree the e/tick is suspect.

I have thought of Northwich or Norton or Northen but I cannot find any William Davies baptisms in those places.

Could it be as 'devious' as "nothing". ie no place given!

Cheshire / Northing(e) parish

Please does anyone recognise this parish. I am trying to trace the birth of a William davies for my friend. We have his relation in the 1851 census in Royton, Lancs. His age gives a birth year of 1793 and this is confirmed by his death record. That census says that he was born in Cheshire, Northing(e).

We have his marriage to Betty Law in 1814 in Royton and the births of all his children but nothing appears to help. I cannot find Northing(e) in any Cheshire gazeteer. Does anyone have any ideas please?

His children's names were Thomas, Nancy, Ellin, Maerty Ann, James and John.

Berkshire / DEW/DEWE/DUE/ family
« on: Sunday 19 April 20 13:53 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the ancestry of Thomas Dewe died 1819 in Drayton, Berks. The family records suggest that he was born in 1738. There is a baptism of that date of Thomas Due to William Due and his wife Ann in Charney Bassett.
Thomas' will indentifies a Robert Wicks, of Drayton, as his uncle.
Robert Wicks will amongst others refers to his 'sister Ann Dewe of Charney'.

These seem reasonable pointers to the fact that Thomas' parents were William Dewe and Ann Wicks but after that I am stuck completely. I can get information on the Wicks family going back but nothing whatsover about William Dewe's parents or even of his marriage to Ann Wicks.

Has anyone got access to records which might help or can point me in the right direction. Many thanks.

David

1901 Camberwell - Waitress unmarried.
1902 Married Francis Estlin Grundy - Strand London
1911 Holborn married with husband noi children yet.

Family totally content that all facts post marriage check out but nothing pre marriage makes sense.

Yes she is Mabel Claire Grundy. She was married under the name of Mabel (surname) Claire giving her father's name as John, a gentleman. She used Claire as the surname for her childrens' births. She told her family that her father came from Warwickshire and was killed in a hunting accident. She gives Leamington as her birthpalce in the 1901 and 1911 census returns.
As far as anyone can tell - and several people besides me have looked. None of the 'facts' which she supplied bears scrutiny!
