Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage entry St Mary's Church Bedford - Johnson HALBERD
« on: Wednesday 01 November 23 09:19 GMT (UK)  »
My post from 2018 that johnP-bedford links to shows I had been toying with Elizabeth's surname and parentage for some time.

My wife's recent DNA matches are confirming that her surname was indeed Albone and the strong link to the Albones of Biggleswade.

As Frederick Emmison auther of the 1931 Bedfordshire Parish Transcripts noted in the forward to the Biggleswade publication, Albone was among the most popular surname between 1692 and 1812, so trying to work out who is connected to who is no easy task given the repetition of several Christian names.

If the Church entry doesn't reveal the information I seek, I suspect in time the DNA matches will do so.

Thanks again johnP-bedford for your helpful insights and information you have shared over the years.

Thank you amondg for your interest.

I had been aware of David Miller Johnson but had not picked up Miller Albone. Seems sometimes Millar appears instead of Miller.

James Albone's second wife was Sarah Miller  - and Joseph's mother was Sarah Millard.  ::)

My wife has 8-9 DNA matches to folk who claim to be descended from either James and Sarah (Miller) or Joseph and Ann (Bonfield) but unfortunately Ancestry ThruLines has umpteen permutations of relationships.

Uriah and Elizabeth had a son they named Edward Albone/Alban and the name was given to two grandchildren. johnP-bedford previously observed that the name Halberd does not appear in any other record other than a Pigot's transcription - so likely a miss hearing or transcription of Albone?

I know a lot about Biggleswade born Elizabeth after she married Uriah Johnson, but she was one of three Elizabeth Albones born within a few years of each other. 

Which were her parents - James and Sarah, Joseph and Ann or William and Elizabeth? A marriage entry with her father or a sibling named would clinch it. ;D

I know some church registers did include the father's name.

I would be grateful if someone who can access the actual or filmed record could tell me whether the 19 January 1815 entry records the father of Elizabeth Halberd (aka Albone) and the names of witnesses.

Thank you, Ouse who.

Yes I should have said it's the 1828-1840 collection I am referring to.

I had tried a look up in the Police Gazette previously in FindMyPast and BNA but neither seem to include 1833 the year I am interested in - hence my posting.

Moderators - are you able to move my posting to the correct board please? My error.

Armed Forces / Army Deserters 1828-1840 on FindMyPast - source of data?
« on: Thursday 08 June 23 13:57 BST (UK)  »
Following on from my earlier recent posts can anyone tell me the source of the information in the Deserters Lists?

Seems lists come from Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society and the Family History Federation, so was this information sourced from a single or several sources - and where might it/they be held? I contacted the former some time ago asking the same question but thusfar no response.

I am visiting National Archive shortly to view some Muster Rolls and wonder if it/they are held there though a NA search doesn't suggest anything as far as I can see.

Thank you, O.

The year was 1833 but I do not know the location. I only have the details given in the FindMyPast transcript.

The history of the Rifle Brigade (the Prince Consort's Own) formerly the 95th which is on Archive.org pps 231-232* covers the year. My reading  suggests that if he was in Headquarters Company ist Bn Rifle Brigade he was in Nova Scotia, Depot Company and he was in the south of England involved in 'unpleasant' duties dealing with smugglers around Hastings.
