Norfolk / Allisons in parish of North Elmham and Billingsford
« on: Monday 29 May 17 17:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm trying to find out more information about my relatives William Allison and his wife Ann Chapling in the parish of North Elmham.

The three dates in the parish that I know of:
William Allison married Ann Chapling on 11th Dec 1793
Their daughter Mary Chapling Allison was baptised 10th Nov 1797
Their daughter Elizabeth Allison was baptised 15th Mar 1800

From looking at the censuses and family trees of other people there appears to be a William and Ann Allison connected with nearby Billingsford. There is unfortunately considerable disagreement as to whether they are the same William and Ann or whether there just happened to be another couple of similar ages living in the area. Different trees have list different children.

If anybody can shed any further light on this topic I'd be very grateful. Information about baptisms, weddings and funerals in the parishes in that period would be especially appreciated

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / Re: Crocker / Leat - Jersey Marriage

Hi

I am also a descendant of Solomon Crocker (he's my great great great grandfather) and I can confirm he did indeed end up in hospital as during my research I stumbled across this newspaper article. I know this is an old thread so you might not see this or you might have seen it already but it's interesting none the less!

I'm currently trying to find the marriage details of Solomon Crocker and Elizabeth Brée. Their eldest child George Solomon was two months old at the time of the 1851 census and they were living in Saint Martin where he was born. Elizabeth was from Grouville. That would suggest they were married in roughly 1850.  Solomon was sentenced to 90 days hard labour in Dorchester prison on 27th June 1848 so the very earliest he could have arrived in Jersey would be October 1848. Even assuming a speedy courtship that would suggest they were married in 1849 or 1850.

Thank you so much! I have applied for a copy of the birth certificate of my great grandfather Elias (George and Emma's fourth child) as someone suggested but that won't be here for another week or so. This will make it considerably easier for me to attain a copy of their Jersey marriage certificate as I am trying to collect together the marriage certificates of my mother's ancestors for her Christmas present. You've been immensely helpful so thank you once again

Thank you very much! I hadn't thought of looking at a birth certificate for one of their children. As I am ordering a copy of my great grandfather Elias' marriage certificate I shall order his birth certificate at the same time and with a bit of luck that will corroborate the details from the church records.

I also didn't think of checking into Mary Hopkins. From a quick search I can find various Mary Hopkins in Jersey but none who list their birth in the census as Aberdare, and I can find various Mary Hopkins born in Aberdare but with no apparent connection to Jersey. It was a good idea though and it wouldn't have occurred to me.

I shall let you know what it says on the birth certificate when I get hold of a copy

Channel Islands Lookup Requests / George Soloman Crocker marriage information
« on: Thursday 01 September 16 21:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am trying to track down details of the marriage of my great great grandfather George Solomon Crocker. None of the online searches I have done on ancestry websites throw any light on the matter. Although the genealogical research I have seen from others who have looked into him offers a few suggestions I am averse to trust in them just yet without any corroborating evidence.

Here are the sketchy details I have gathered from census and online searches.
- George Solomon Crocker was born in Saint Martin in 1851 to Solomon Crocker and Elizabeth Brée. I cannot find any baptism information for him although two of his younger siblings were baptised in Guernsey after the family had moved there in the mid 1850s.
- He married his spouse Emma in Jersey in roughly 1871 going from the information they provided in the 1911 census. I frustratingly do not know Emma's maiden name; I have seen suggestions on ancestry websites but as I say I don't want to place too much faith in them at this stage.
- a marriage in 1871 would also tie in with the birth of their first child George in Jersey in 1873. All all their subsequent children were born in Aberdare, Wales after after the family moved there in the mid 1870s.
- as Emma is not listed living with George Solomon and his parents in the census of 1851 it's possible that the marriage took place after that (so after the 2nd of April).

As I say the information is a bit sketchy and I am sorry I cannot add any more details at this stage. If anybody could shed some further light on this for me I would be immensely grateful to them. I have been tracing my mother's family ties from Dorset to the Channel Islands and finally to Wales and this is one of the fuzzy links I would love to be able to clarify for her.

Thanks
Tristan
