Leicestershire / Help with the Hulls after 1851

« on: Monday 14 September 20 19:50 BST (UK) »

Hi, I'm struggling to find the following family after the 1851 census, can anyone see them anywhere?

Details are - John Hull b.1826 - a potter - 1851 says born Atherstone (?) Warwickshire. Wife Emma b.1822 in Staffordshire (possibly Dudley). This census sees them at Bucks Row in Measham with sons Thomas aged 7 (b.Swadlincote) and baby son John, 9 days old.

Piece:2084 Folio:565 Page Number:18

I've found a death entry for baby John later on in 1851 but cannot see any deaths/remarriages for the parents nor anything for son Thomas. I also cant find them in 1861.

Emma has also been listed as Amey on some sources (the marriage entry in 1841 and son Thomas' baptism).
Emma was a Buckley before marriage. I've found her Dad in 1861 - he is a few doors up to where they were in 1851.

Can anyone see them?

Herefordshire / Newspaper look up please

« on: Wednesday 08 May 19 18:56 BST (UK) »

Hi, I am rereading through my notes and I have come across an ancestor and his brother in law who stood trial in July/August 1867 for (long story short) selling coal at a weight which it was not. I have a newspaper report from July 27th 1867 in the Hereford Journal and it says they were committed to the assizes (Staffordshire). Can anyone see anything after that please?

Their names were John Bowlder and Elijah Ellis, both of Wolverhampton but this happened in Hereford i think.
Many thanks in advance, Lisa

Staffordshire / Ann Roughly 1891

« on: Sunday 28 April 19 19:45 BST (UK) »

Hi all - would really appreciate a look up please. I've ran out of ancestry credits but also I haven't been able to locate this particular lady in 1891 for some time, I think due to her name being spelt several different ways.

Its Ann Roughley/Roughly/Ruffley b.1852 in Wolverhampton, maiden name Ellis. She married Joseph Roughly in 1870 and I'm pretty sure she will be in the St Mary's district of Wolverhampton in 1891.

I also cant see her daughter that year neither - Annie White (married by now) b.1872 Wolverhampton. (The daughter was widowed before the next census, remarried and became Annie Hickman).

Any look up would be greatly appreciated - I cant even find daughter Annies marriege to "Mr White" due to all the various spellings of her name (or because I'm just missing something lol).

Thanks, Lisa

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Fanny Clara Darcy look up please

« on: Thursday 13 September 18 19:15 BST (UK) »

Hi all, could someone please look up Fanny Clara Darcy (D'arcy) for me? She was born in 1885 in Wolverhampton, I'm thinking the wednesfield side of the town.
Ive only just found her and there is no MM on her birth registration. I think I can see her in 1891 but dont have an ancestry sub at the mo.
I think she is just as Fanny Darcy in 1891 but cant see at all in 1901 (she didnt marry until 1902).

Many thanks in advance, Lisa

The Common Room / Newspaper look up request please

« on: Monday 26 February 18 11:17 GMT (UK) »

Hi, can someone please do a look up for me on the newspaper archive please?

Its about Elijah Ellis and John Bowdler in July 1867 - I can see it was recorded on in the Hereford papers and it was some crime they commited to do with coal (if that helps lol)

Many thanks in advance, Lisa
