Nottinghamshire / Re: Bettinson & Brockton Families

Hello Mike

Great to hear from another Brockton researcher at long last! If you can email me at francisp@xtra.co.nz we can discuss further.

Believe it or not, I actually have a photo of William Rippon Brockton - "the well known Notts sportsman who twice rode in the Grand National".

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello there

I have this Charles Cawte death cert. I can scan and email to you if you want. It's definitely the bookbinder who is in the 1841 census.

Regards

Midlothian / Re: Info reqd on West Church/St Cuthbert's

Thanks for clarifying that.

So as it is now feasible that the two James Scotts  - one b 1799 and the other "aged 21" on joining up in 1822 - are one and the same, do you have any ideas how I can prove (or disprove) my theory.

This is the only Scottish line in my family so I'm definitely no expert on these matters. The marriage details of James Scott & Helen Young might help.

Anything you can suggest ?

Midlothian / Info reqd on West Church/St Cuthbert's
« on: Tuesday 11 September 07 08:54 BST (UK)  »
My g-g-grandfather's (James Scott) army record shows him born in West Church, Midlothian - no exact DOB but "aged 21" when he joined up in 1822.

His Guernsey death record has his parents as James & Ellen (but this could well be Helen).

I have a birth record of James Scott to James Scott & Helen Young in 1799 at Nicolson Street, St Cuthbert's, so trying to match them up !

Does anyone know if Nicolson St would be regarded as the West Church part of St Cuthbert's ?

Any help greatly appreciated !

Re the website, it belongs to Janet Penn who sent me this:

Susanna     (John & Anna)           20/12/1761 buried 4/2/1772
William       (John & Anna)           23/10/1763
John           (John & Anna)           18/5/1766
Anna          (John & Anna)           30/9/1770 buried 12/2/1772  
John           (John & Anna)           30/7/1775
Susanna     (John & Anna)           1778

She also says:

1.  John CAWTE, b. 1775, baptized 30 Jul 1775 in Milton, Hampshire, resided 1814 in Ashley, Hampshire, occupation 1814 Carpenter.  He married Jane REEKS, married 14 May 1808 in Milton, Hampshire, b. 1785, (daughter of Richard REEKS and Jane CURLE) baptized 26 Jun 1785 in Sopley, Hampshire.

Children
                            
i      George b. 1808.
ii     Harriet CAWTE, b. 1810
iii     Elizabeth CAWTE, b. 1812
iv    Mary Ann CAWTE, also known as Mary Jane Cawte, b. 1815

I think Jane Cawte WAS Charles' mother and I think this could be the family. Whether this is the correct father is the question.

This John is from an all-Milton family and has a different mother ! He may not be the carpenter ! I think the John Cawte who married Jane Reeks is the one b Lymington c 1784 with mother Mary (a name which he and son George also use).

Thanks again. I'm in New Zealand so personal lookups is a problem.

The LDS coverage of Milton, etc, seems minimal. I recently received the multi-CD set of BVRI from them and Milton and Lymington are not even in their drop down menu selection of Hants parishes !

Pretty disappointing, I can tell you.

Thanks again. I was actually trying to figure out if the William Adams (father of Sarah) is listed as a "farmer" or just "of Ashley farm" i.e. ag lab.

I cannot read the handwritten record which somene sent me and wonder if you could clarify as you also seem to have found that record - Milton 5/3/1826.

If he was a farmer then, would he be listed as a labourer in 1840 (on Sarah Adams' marriage cert) ? You wouldn't think so.

What would be the best way of checking the Lymington registers, at least to try and find the 2yr old John, son of the carpenter from Bishopstoke ?

Hello Nell

Thanks also.  I too found Emma with father William but no Sarah that matches. So now we can't find a birth for either Charles or Sarah !

Sarah Jane (Jane) is given as "b Portsmouth" in the 1841 census and Milton in later ones. I also thought of Milton in Portsmouth but her birth cert says "b Ashley".

Wiliam, the father of Sarah is a labourer on the marriage cert (1840) but in Emma's birth record, which someone looked up for me (1826), is he "an Ashley Farmer" or of "Ashley Farm" ???

I couldn't read the writing and there's a fair difference between the two !
