Hi,

I was looking for details on Fortune Randolph who was meant to have been born around 1774 in Redcliffe, Bristol, I also believe she married Nathaniel Gifford at some point between 1774-1830 when she died.

I can find her burial and an obituary listing her father as William Randolph and her husband as Mr Gifford, but that is it.

I was hoping someone might be able to find a baptism or a marriage. I have had no luck online.

Does anyone know if all the baptisms/marriages for this area have been put online, or whether you would still need to visit the actual archive for some records?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

My ancestor James Machin (1818) was living in Swynnerton in 1841 with the following people:

1841 swynnerton
ho107/993/1 page 5

thomas 65 ag lab
elizabeth 65
robert 7
JAMES 23 (my ancestor)
ANN 20 (James' wife)
ALFRED 1 (James' 1st son)

Next door, there is also the family of William Machin.

I can work out that how all the other Machin are related (Thomas is married to Elizabeth, Robert is their Grandson and William Machin (next door) is Thomas' son). However I cannot link James to any of these people. I am assuming they are closely related since they are living together.

The only baptism I could find for James Machin (1818 in Swynnerton), listed him as the illegitimate child of Ann Machin. I also found an Ann Machin baptized in 1793 in Swynnerton with father George Machin and Mother Mary, but no link to the other Machins. I was thinking maybe George and Thomas were brothers or Cousins.

Any help to Link my Ancestor James Machin (1818) to the other Machins on the census would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
John

Hi,

I am looking for George Stroud (abt 1830, East Oakley). He has a relative called Charles Stroud. I can't read the fathers name, it might be Wm Stroud, LM Stroud or JM Stroud.

I am also looking for Ellen Spreadborough (abt 1840, Cove). her father is John Spreadborough. It would also be helpful if anyone could find her birth certificate details.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

I am looking for Joseph Hatfield (abt 1830 winkerfield, berkshire). I believe he may have a sister called sophia (abt 1829).
