Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / GOODRICH Rothwell
« on: Thursday 24 November 22 16:41 GMT (UK)  »
I have traced my GOODRICH ancestors to Rothwell & I'm attempting to take them further back.
Thomas was baptised in Rothwell in 1759 (yet to be proved). He married Elizabeth KING by licence in 1789 in Gaulby Leicestershire: widower & Carpenter (1st wife Hannah Cleaver). Thomas is later found in Uppingham a Master Wheelwright. There is a large cluster of GOODRICH families in that corner of Northants & Leicestershire. I've looked at numerous Baptisms & Wills but have not yet attempted to construct any families. Where do I go from here?
Any help/advice is much appreciated.

The Common Room / Born at Sea
« on: Sunday 15 August 21 17:26 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for Ada Wilhelmina Hamley born "at sea" 18th June 1861; mother was Martha Hamley (Nee Waters); father is William Hamley.

I have failed to find her in 1871 but she is on all subsequent censuses all stating "born at sea" & 1939 Register; married December 1923 to Albert Weeks; died Sept 1941.

I can find no clue as to where the family were travelling to or why; nor can I find where/when William died; Martha remarried 1877 to Joseph T Chapman.

Summary of my search is to find the ship & it's destination & birth registration also  William's death.

Thank you for any help.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / George HAMLEY
« on: Saturday 02 January 21 16:28 GMT (UK)  »
I am seeking the death of George Hamley; born c. 1756 Tavistock, Devon; (no clear evidence  of birth; possibly even Cornwall) married Ann Rundell also in Tavistock 1784; 6 children all in Tavistock 1785-1799. Ann  died in 1847 'widow of George Hamley Accountant' in Clifton, Gloucestershire. Family links to Clifton & Pip'nJay; also Bedminster, Somerset. There are now many Hamley descendants in Bristol.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my request.

Completed Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Carpenter to Wheelwright
« on: Sunday 01 March 20 15:21 GMT (UK)  »
My 3x Great grandfather Thomas Goodrich was a Master Wheelwrightin Rutland 1804. I have now found a marriage to an Elizabeth King in Gaulby 1789 which fits with the birth of a daughter Ann in 1790. He is described as a carpenter; the register of duties paid for apprentices gives him as a Master Carpenter (Northants) in 1790, which is where I believe he was born. Would it have been 'easy' to switch professions from carpenter to wheelwright.

During my searches I came across the burial of Ann Mary Kearse Mansell 6 Jan 1848 in Cogges aged 54 but I cannot link her to any of this family or their offspring. I have ordered her death cert. pdf in the hope that I might recognise the 'present at death'

Rutland / Thomas GOODRICH burial
« on: Monday 13 January 20 16:03 GMT (UK)  »
Thomas GOODRICH was a wheelwright in Uppingham in 1804 with an apprentice Thomas Panden. I believe (not proved) that he married Elizabeth Wix in Wendling or Weasenham Norfolk in 1796. Two sons Thomas born in Uppingham 1797 & William born Uppingham 1800.
Thomas (senior) died in Uppingham 2nd November 1837 and his wife Elizabeth died October 1843 also in Uppingham. I am now searching for their burials and would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you.
