Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: WINSTONE Howard, Merthyr Tydfil
« on: Tuesday 31 October 23 20:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi David

I wrote the first post in this topic because I would be very interested to know whether there is a connection between the Merthyr Tydfil Winstone family and my ancestors who lived in Eastcombe near Stroud. 

My ancestor Charles WINSTONE was born in 1828 and was a mason/builder along with his brother Lot WINSTONE.  His grandsons moved to the South Wales valleys in the 1900s.  And other than the prosperity connected to coal etc in the area, I wonder whether there were relatives living here too.

I note from Free BMD that there were WINSTONEs' births registered in Merthyr Tydfil in 1837 onwards.  So if there is a connection, it goes back further than that.

So I'd be really interested to hear if you do find a connection with the Stroud area.

All the best with your research.

The Common Room / Re: What is a Warrick seller?

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I reckon now that he bequeathed his cellar of warrocks (wooden scaffolding) to Philip Pill.

The family was involved with carpentry, fishing and boats.

Many thanks for helping think this through.

Thanks for your reply - towards the end of the list of beneficiaries..."Philip pill warricks seller".

(Pill was the surname of one of the deceased's son-in-laws and mentioned above in the will.)

The Common Room / What is a Warrick seller?

Does anyone have any idea what a warrick seller might have been?

The term is mentioned in a will dated 1764 in Gorran Parish Cornwall.

I wonder if it has some connection with boats....

Many thanks

Cornwall / St Mary's Truro churchyard look up request
« on: Tuesday 14 March 23 19:13 GMT (UK)  »
I think the Ann Rowe I am looking for was buried in St Mary's Truro on 28 December 1796.

The entry in the parish register gives no other information so I am wondering whether there might be a memorial inscription that would give some clues.  (I know it's a long shot!)

So please... if you have access to these... I'd really be grateful if you would look this up for me.

(She was born Ann HAMBLY between 1717 and 1734, probably in Blisland, to Robert and Grace.  I can't find her baptism.  She married George ROWE in 1749 and he was buried in St Clement in 1764.  I have info on their children etc.)

Many thanks

The Common Room / Certificate with surname "HORST"
« on: Tuesday 07 March 23 19:20 GMT (UK)  »
I have a certificate dated 1953 relating to someone with the surname HORST - to do with an event in Cornwall. 

Please send me a PM if this is someone in your family.

Meanwhile I am trying to work out how it came to be in my possession!

Cornwall / Re: George RAW/ROWE baptism
« on: Friday 17 February 23 17:47 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for your replies.

I shall certainly look into these suggestions and hopefully find something to link with George....but maybe the answer is that the page in the relevant register is missing or damaged as you say.

Regards
