Sussex Lookup Requests / Poor law lookup - ROE Linch, Sussex please
« on: Tuesday 20 July 10 20:01 BST (UK)  »
If anybody could help with this, I would be so grateful; this is my brick wall!!!!

I am trying to find out anything I can about SARAH ROE - all I know so far is that she had a son Jonathan born 30 Aug 1789 in Linch, Sussex. Jonathan appears to be illegitimate and Sarah is listed as a 'pauper'...are the poor law records for Linch where you would look next?

Any help most gratefully received... :)

Canada Lookup Request / Canadian Women's Hostel, Drummond St, Montreal
« on: Saturday 17 July 10 19:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm trying to find what happened to my Nan's sister who emigrated in the 30's with the address of destination being 'Canadian Women's Hostel, 1155 Drummond St, Montreal'. She was a domestic. Does anyone know what this place was? Or where I could find any records to find out where she went from there?
I'm failing so far to find any trace of her after that...we think she may have married a man named Fritz, but we don't know if that was his first name or surname even?
Her name was Constance Evelyn Cowan Begg b abt 1909

Any help most gratefully received!

Hi Carole!
Sorry for the delay in reply - I missed this somehow  ???

All I have so far is Thirza Berry b abt 1828 in Thursley Surrey marrying John Roe who is our 3rd great grand uncle.

I have his children's names etc and them in the censuses too.

Let me know what you already have or need. I have a feeling I may have a certificate too, but will need to check.

Would love to hear from you  :)

 :D :D :D :D :D
Oh, Jan - you're a star!! So Linch is in Sussex? I'll have a look in a min...
I had no idea there was such a place and never would have found that!!!

So how do I go about finding his mother then - do you have any handy hints?!

If she was a pauper I guess it would be worth looking at poor law records or equvalent - will have to look up what poor relief was at that time...

What if she's not in Linch - I guess look at all the surrounding places? hmmm, needles and haystacks!!

Thank you sooooooooooo much!  :D

I'd really appreciate that :)

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: baptism for linchmere surrey 1789 please :)
« on: Sunday 18 January 09 22:30 GMT (UK)  »
I think the IGI must be too Tricia, though Little Nell has just come up with a Jonathan Roe baptised in Bramshott 30 Apr 1756... with parents John and Jane and noted as of Pitfold. Could be related? It's 33 years before the Jonathan I think I'm looking for, so could be his father? Is 59 too old to be a father in those days?!? Doesn't explain the IGI record though.

Hmmmm....think I shall be counting Roe's tonight instead of sheep!!

 ??? :)

Aw, that's great Nell  :)

Hmmm, interesting isn't it.... They could very well be related; the family seem to have been and stayed around those parts until a bit later on.

I believe William had siblings - Jonathan 1816, Edmund 1818, John 1826, Robert 1829, James 1831, Sarah 1835 but I believe they were all born in Linchmere. I don't have their baptism dates or parents names. I got the info from the same inherited family tree, but it has no sources on it. The census returns do seem to back it up, but when I can afford it I think I need to set up camp at the various record offices and try to get to the bottom of it all!! I'm desperate to get some further info  ??? I know we are definitely related to William Roe who married Sarah Cobb, but that is the last certificate I can find so it's to Parish records now I guess?

Thanks for your help Nell :)
