Many thanks for your help. I would never have got Ostler. Seems like working with horses was in the family.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with Occupation & Residence on 1840 Marriage Certificate
« on: Monday 25 September 23 01:49 BST (UK)  »
I'm having difficulty deciphering what the residence is on the attached 1840 marriage certificate for George Dixon and Sarah Nichol. They were married in Northumberland. I think it is 'Weldon Bridge' but not sure. Also, I think the occupation for George Dixon and George Nichol is 'Horse Keeper' but again not sure. As for the occupation of Alexander Dixon I can't work that one out at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Richard Round Jnr was baptised at Dudley on 8 April 1810 and it is believed his parents were Richard Round Senior and Sarah Harinson (or Harrison) who married on 19 June 1785 at Dudley Top Church. Tracing back further is difficult due to the large number of Rounds in the Dudley area and Richard being a common first name.

Thank you for all your help and information. It really is appreciated.  I will certainly follow up on all the information you have kindly provided.

I've been in contact with the Dudley Archives who advised me the book I am seeking is an unpublished biography. They have since provided me with a photocopy of that biography which not only contains details of the Round Family I am researching but also information about Holly Hall in Dudley - a very interesting read.

Thank you all once again.

Worcestershire / ROUND Family of Holly Hall, Dudley, Worcestershire
« on: Sunday 04 June 23 06:37 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have a copy of the family history publication titled "The Round family of Holly Hall, Dudley, Worcestershire" by A.T.C. Lavender published in 1992 which they no longer want. I have been searching for a copy of that publication to buy without success.

I have been researching Richard Round who arrived in Tasmania, Australia in 1862 at the age of 51 yrs along with his wife Esther aged 49 yrs on the ship "Vanguard". They were both born in Dudley, Worcestershire and are mentioned in the above publication. On the 1851 census they were living in Holly Hall, Dudley, and Richard's occupation was shown as 'shoemaker'.

I am hoping the publication will provide more details about Richard's ancestors and their lives in Dudley. I live in Queensland, Australia, and none of the local libraries or family history societies have a copy of that publication.

Thank you.

If anyone has access to the book "Families of Molong and District" by Aileen Roberson published in 1993, I'd be very grateful if you would check to see if the Lovett, Feeney or Males families are mentioned in that book. Thanks.

Australia Resources & Offers / OFFER - Grave/Headstone Photos - Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane, Queensland
« on: Friday 29 January 16 22:48 GMT (UK)  »
I live not far from the Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane, Queensland.  If you would like a photo of a particular grave/headstone in the Toowong Cemetery and are unable to visit the grave personally, I am happy to visit that cemetery to take photos.  You will need to PM me your contact email details so I can send you the photos as you can't post email details in the forum.

Regards

Australia / Re: Queensland Burial - Charles COX died 1866 in Warwick
« on: Saturday 14 February 15 22:38 GMT (UK)  »
I have previously checked records for the Warwick and surrounding cemeteries available on the internet but none contain a record for Charles Cox. I have now downloaded an image of the historical death record from the QLD BDM website which confirms Charles was buried in Warwick cemetery. I'll contact the local family history centre and council to hopefully find where Charles' grave is located in that cemetery. Thank you all for your help in this matter.
