Gloucestershire / FRAMPTON -ON-SEVERN
« on: Sunday 27 March 11 13:53 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me how far back Frampton on Severn parish records exist please ( presumably these are in Gloucester PRO)?

My ancestor was John Canning christened on 15 August 1784 at Frampton-on-Severn, the son of John Canning & Anne Hewlett. (Anne Hewlett was christened in Frampton –on-Severn on 24 November 1754, daughter of Daniel & Elizabeth Hewlett). John Canning b.1784 married Mary Tucker of Clifton in Bristol on 16.10.1808.
 
Memorial inscriptions in Frampton on Severn church include one to John Canning died 1798 (age 41 this makes birth 1757), wife Ann in 1811 Age 56 + Esther Verny 27/11/1797 Age 1 & Mary 10/10/1843 Age 56. I'm assuming Mary may have been John's sister - but interested in where Verny connection comes from & also any information about Canning family pre 1800.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / CANNING
« on: Wednesday 16 June 10 19:21 BST (UK)  »
Believe my ancestor to be John Canning b. 15 August 1784 in Frampton-upon-Severn, son of John Canning & Ann Hewlett (b. 24 November 1754 Frampton). Later moved to Bristol.

Trying to establish if the John Canning married to Ann is the person referred to in memorial inscription Frampton-on-Severn Churchyard which refers to: John Canning d. 1798 (aged 41), Ann d. 1811 (aged 56 - tallies with Hewlett), Esther Verny (aged 1) d. 27 November 1797 &  Mary 10 October 1843 (aged 56).

Interested in any other information relating to Canning family ancestors pre 1800 in Frampton (or elsewhere - possibly Warks?).

Lancashire Lookup Requests / YEWDALL
« on: Tuesday 15 June 10 21:09 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the Yewdall family who lived in Lancashire (around Halton, Skerton & Lancaster ) in the C19th. I have managed to trace back to:
Simeon Yewdall, a gardener, (b.1786) & Margaret Hodgson (b1788) - they possibly both came from Bradford or Blackburn (believed to be outside Lancashire), who married on 15 April 1816 at St. Mary, Lancaster (Parish records St. Mary 1813-1819 , Lancaster Film no: 1526200). 

Known children were:
Thomas (b. 1816), James (b.1818) , Henry (b.1819), David (b.1821), Mary (b.1822), Elizabeth (b.1825, Buried 1825), Margaret (b. 1827, Buried 1828), Simeon (b. 1830.Buried 1832). The children were baptised in Poulton-Le-Sands (near Morecambe) or Halton, Lancs. (shown as Dalton in some records) - have found these in parish records online.

Any information regarding birth place of Simeon or Margaret, their ancestors/siblings would be appreciated. (Also trying to find if any connection to Yewdalls of Calverley/Idle/Bradford, Yorkshire.)

Also interested in any local history information relating to business of James Yewdall who was a furniture dealer in Church Street, Lancaster. Business is reported as going in to liquidation in Liverpool Mercury 31 January 1880, following his death.
