Westmeath / Sherlock and Cox family, Mullingar
« on: Thursday 23 October 14 10:48 BST (UK)  »
Looking for information regarding the Cox and Sherlock family from Mullingar. My knowledge on them is limited.

My great great grandfather, Henry Sherlock was born 1819 in Mullingar, and died 1866 in Dublin. He had a brother called Joseph and married Eliza Cox in 1849.

Eliza Cox had a brother called Richard, he married a lady called Rose.

Thank you in advance.

Norfolk / Ann Maria Marston
« on: Friday 06 January 12 15:58 GMT (UK)  »
Ann Maria Marston (nee Carr) died of Laryngitis on 24th May 1858 in Brooke. I've searched through the Brooke burials for her on FamilySearch and there appears to be no burials recorded from April through to October.

Is it possible that they just didn't record them or that no-one was actually buried within those months?  ???

Norfolk / William Olley 1840
« on: Thursday 15 September 11 11:30 BST (UK)  »
My 3rd grt grandfather William Olley has become one big mystery. He was born around 1840, but I'm unsure of where.

In the 1881 Census, it says he was born in Norwich.
In the 1891 Census, it says he was born in Stretton (?)
In the 1901 Census, it says he was born in Skeyton.

I've looked up all of the above parish records and there's no William Olley born around that time in any of them.

He married Louisa, whose maiden name I do not know as I cannot find their marriage.

They had the following children ...

Louisa Olley, 1863 in London
William Olley, 1870 in Camberwell
James Olley, 1872 in London
Edgar Olley, 1873 in Norwich
Benjamin Olley, 1875 in Norwich
Harry Olley, 1877 in Norwich
Albert Olley, 1879 in Norwich
Oliver Olley, 1881, in Norwich
Matthew Olley, 1882 in Norwich
Frederick Olley, 1886 in Norwich

He died in 1903 in Norwich.

Dublin / Bridget Mary Colwell
« on: Tuesday 30 August 11 14:23 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to trace my great grandmothers ancestors.

Bridget Mary Colwell was born around 1862 in Dublin. I know her father was called Henry Colwell, but I'm unsure of her mother's name.

She married Frederick William Bushell on 29 June 1887 and she died 2th November 1941 in Norwich.

If anyone could help me find out her parents name and so on it would be greatly appreciated :)

Norfolk / Freeman Marston
« on: Sunday 28 August 11 15:48 BST (UK)  »
My 2nd great grandfather Freeman Marston was born 13 September 1841 to Alfred Abraham Marston and Ann Maria Marston (nee Carr) in Brooke, Norfolk.

I have him listed in the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census as living in Brooke, and then in 1881 living in Paddington, London.

He married Hannah Spurgeon on 13 September 1866 in Brooke, they had 5 children from 1867 up until 1873.

I have nothing on him from 1881. He just seems to of disappeared!

Any ideas?

Bev
