Other Countries / Henry Pyne East India Merchant Calcutta 1790's
« on: Sunday 12 November 23 14:01 GMT (UK)  »
I know that one Henry Pyne was operating as an East India Merchant  in Calcutta in the 1780's, ref for example to importation of drinks etc. Quite soon after there are individuals with Indian first names  like Bhogbut Pyne and son Ranchund operating eg at the New China Bazar around 1810/14. Interested to know whether these might be Anglo/Irish/Indian descendants of Henry. There are still Pyne families in around Kolkata today that may all be linked

No afraid not. Annoyingly he died 6 months before the 51 census 🙁

Yes thanks for those - I'd tracked these down previously, but appreciate the replies. Not sure if quarter sessions are worth trawlng through. See Mary's site has some extracts. I really need to focus in on anything around that 30/40 years around 1790-1830... to try and work out where my Joe Pyne Blacksmith came from - tantalisingly there were  possible family members popping up as witnesses in Weston in the 1820's who don't seem to be living there. Variations in name spelling don't help. Ho hum

Somerset / Gordano Sources
« on: Tuesday 09 May 23 14:39 BST (UK)  »
My family history brickwall  concerns a family of blacksmiths (name of Pyne/Pine/Paine), in the Gordano area south of Bristol. I'm looking for advice on other sources , beyond the obvious - pre census , period c1790 - 1830, ie other than parish records, church accounts and tithe records. Particularly interested in Weston in Gordano, Tickenham and Walton in Gordano. Any thoughts on specific sources and where they may be held  - I have some familiarity with the Somerset Heritage Centre and Bristol Records office. Many thanks

Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Inhabitants of Cardington 1782
« on: Friday 24 December 21 08:56 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for that John - quite a tangle - difficult to distinguish Sam the elder and Sam the Younger.

Sam the elder clearely married Ann Fleming and had children with her between 1740 and 58.  Ann then died 1759.

I'd assumed a marriage date of 1754 was right for Sam and Liz King - as there are christenings of children of Sam and Liz  from 1760 onwards. If the marriage was 1764, were the earlier children illegitimate maybe .....

Thanks again Trish for the extra info

I think the picture building is of a family of an Elder Samuel, b 1718 who married Ann Fleming in 1739 who had 7+ children from 1740 to c 1760, including Samuel junior who was christened 1740. He appears to have married first Liz King in 1754, but secondly as a widower, Liz Watson (herself a widow) in 1762. Of their children that you list , my direct ancestor is James born 1769/70.

The Hillyards certainly look to be part of the desperately poor farm labourer sector of society for several generations. A grandson of Samuel junior  George - my GGG Grandfather was variously described as a pauper, ag lab and in 1851 a rat catcher - his wife being a lacemaker - I think another common occupation in the area around then.

Thanks again for the pointers.

Great thanks Trish - Lots of detail ! I wish they'd done a few more of those surveys elsewhere - quite a resource. Wonder where I got 'King' from for Elizabeth - note to self - must keep better records. I'll check out Free Reg.
Thanks for the help

Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Inhabitants of Cardington 1782

I wonder if someone is familiar with or has access to the Beds Historical Records Soc publication, 'inhabitants of Cardington 1782'. One of my ancestral families, the Hillyards were there around that time including x5 Great grandfather Samuel b c 1740 and wife Elizabeth (King I think). Just wondered what sort of info you can glean from the 1782 survey. Any info gartefully received especially in relation to Sam and family. His son James b 1769 will be my x4 GGrandfather.

Somerset Lookup Requests / St Andrews Cheddar - heraldry
« on: Sunday 21 November 21 12:02 GMT (UK)  »
I'd be very interested in advice on possible sources to both identify and explain the context of heraldic shields included in what I understand maybe 15th century stained glass in St Andrews Church, Cheddar. The family arms for the Pyne family - primarily a Devon family are included, along with some others which are less easy to identify. I've so far not come up with much by way of church histories or research into these windows. Nothing jumping out from the Somerset Archives on line catalogue. I would have thought someone will have in the past looked to understand the heraldic references here. While having a lot of background and records on the Pyne family in the wider South West, I've not come across early connections with Cheddar, so would be really interesting to uncover some new links.
