Worcestershire Lookup Requests / James CLAY Died Stourbridge 1846.
« on: Saturday 02 February 08 00:42 GMT (UK)  »
Dear grlune
I'm trying to find more information to get me a little further back on my family tree.  James Clay died Catherwell, Stourbridge on 1st April 1846, aged 68.  A plumber and glazier by trade.  On 1841 census he was living alone at Bell Lane, Old Swinford.  I think his wife must have predeceased him, and his son was working in Astley.....so I have very little to go on.  Any chance of an MI?
Thanks

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / 1841 Worcs. census:Perhaps Shrawley: John FOOTMAN
« on: Thursday 30 March 06 15:16 BST (UK)  »
In 1838 John FOOTMAN married Susan(nah) WILLS in Martley.  He was living in Shrawley at the time, and was a shoemaker.  In 1851 the family was living in Shrawley. Please could somebody see if they can be found in 1841, by which time they would have a young son, also John?
Thanks
Kate

Cork / A CHALLENGE: Hilton, Wallis, Tayler, Kent, Ireland, Army, Navy?
« on: Wednesday 10 August 05 19:06 BST (UK)  »
I have tantalizing information in an old letter from my husband's long deceased aunt, but cannot make any progress in solving the riddle she bequeathed him.  She and my husband shared ancestors in the Hilton family in Kent.
She is sure that the grandfather of Capt Thomas Hilton's wife Ann(e) was James Wallis "on the Irish side".  We have a "James Wallis" bookplate, and he is, according to the aunt, my husband's 4g grandfather.
She said that James Wallis's wife was descended from the Fitzgeralds "and whose great-grandpa was the famous knight of Kerry".   She had inherited a Fitzgerald crested tea-tray.
So my questions are: who was Thomas Hilton's wife Ann(e); who were her parents and grandparents; and how can I find out?
Capt. Thomas Hilton was born 12 Dec 1813, Selling, Kent, and he died there in 1883.  He was said to be a Capt in 19th Regt of Foot.   According to family sources he married Anne Wallis-Tayler, daughter of Capt Wallis-Tayler, Surgeon Capt; RNMD of Queenstown,  Ireland.   According to the birth certificate of Thomas and Anne's daughter in 1862  Anne's maiden name was Tayler.  According to the IGI Ann Taylor was born 3 Nov 1822 of Hawboline, Queenstown, Cork, Ireland; it also lists Ann Taylor born about 1820 in Cloyne Diocese, Cork who married, in 1841, Thomas Hilton, Cloyne Diocese, Cork.  There is also an entry for a marriage on 1 July 1841.
Anne had a relative (sister or cousin perhaps?) referred to as Dora Wallis-Tayler.  Dora married Col Robert Campbell; their daughter Mary was born in Cape Town in 1849. 
It looks as if there should be good sources, but I can't find relevant references in on-line indexes and I find myself going round in circles.  And I don't have ready access to Irish or military records, so  please can anyone give me suggestions as to how to approach this problem.  Many thanks.

I know that my ancestor, Thomas Buchanan, was a Tidewaiter in London in 1831/32; in 1857 he was a Custom House Officer.  His son James was born in London in about 1831/2 ... these are the only definite leads I have; James was in Australia by 1857; I don't know anything more about Thomas.  Can anyone advise me where in London he may have lived in 1841 and 1851 so that I can try to identify him on a census return?

Occupation Interests / Records for Hatters
« on: Monday 18 April 05 19:19 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know where I can find apprentice (or other) records for a hatter?  His apprenticeship may have started in Oldham, Denton, or Sunderland sometime after 1846; he was certainly working as a hatter in  Sunderland in 1871.

« on: Sunday 03 April 05 00:49 BST (UK)  »
Kitty Horn was born Cork, about 1819/1820.  Her father was Richard HORN, a carpenter.  On the 1881 census her name is given as Kate.  (Perhaps her Christian name was Katherine or Kathleen?] Can anyone give me more birth information, or advise me where to search?

Durham Lookup Requests / OGDEN in Sunderland in 1851 Look-up PLEASE!
« on: Saturday 02 April 05 23:31 BST (UK)  »
I'm searching for Thomas Ogden (maybe born Oldham about 1811 ) and his wife Sarah Ann (maybe born Denton about 1821) and son Paul (born Denton 1845).  Thomas may have been a police constable, or a hatter or furrier.  Negative search information will also be valued.  Can Fifer or anyone else help me here please?  Thank you Trish for info from 1871.
