Worcestershire / Squire of Bewdley

Would someone be able to help me please.

I am trying to find out who the Squire of Bewdley was in the early part of 1847. I have done loads of searches using search engines but with no luck.

Thanking you.

Nice to meet you also Vendall.

My four times great uncle, Noah Locke, lived some of his life in Angelsey and he died on the 12th March 1907 in Holywell, Flintshire, Wales. Noah was the father of the famous Esmeralda Lock.

Noah also used the surname Boswell and many of his children did the same. One of Noah's sons Zachariah Lock was also known as Harry Boswell and he married Maria Wood.

There is a story that Zachariah and his brother Joseph Somerset Lock, also known as Somerset Joe, were challenged for the right to travel through Wales by Oliver Lee and Seth Lovell. After a fight which the Lock brothers won Seth Lovell moved his family down south.

Wiltshire / PORTER family and Royalty
« on: Thursday 09 September 10 19:17 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone researching their Porter ancestors in Wiltshire come across this family story?

I was told that my Porter ancestors: Albert b. 1861; Elijah b. 1818 and William b. 1777/8, all from the Porton, Idmiston, Winterbourne Earls, Wiltshire area were related to King Charles I.

I think the story has been exaggerated as it has been passed down through the generations. From my research it is more likely that these Wiltshire Porters are related to Endymion Porter of Mickleton, Gloucestershire, who was Groom of the Bedchamber of King Charles I.

I would love to hear from other Wiltshire/Gloucestershire Porter family researchers and I am also more than happy to help anyone with their Porter family research.

You are welcome Welshspencer. My husband prepared a list of most of the burials in Alphington so if I can be of any further help let me know. We are hoping to work on the christens and marriages later this year, I do not think we know what we are letting ourselves in for!

Drake francis DO D19/5/1811 aged 11
Drake ann DO D26/5/1811 aged 6m
Drake elizabeth D17/9/1817 aged 1?

I hope this will help you.

I have only just joined rootschat and I found your message last night. It seems from my family research that I may well have Shropshire/Staffordshire Lock(e)'s in my family tree. I believe that my grt. grt. grandfather, John Croydon, married Unity/Unetta Lock (in 1856) the daughter of Margeria Smith (nee Lock) and Elijah Smith. Margeria is the daugher of Matthew and Membrance Lock.

I know what you mean it does seem to take for ever to find the Lock family members in Census Records etc. etc.!!

Good luck with your research.
