Nottinghamshire / Samuel Bede Cooper Birth/Baptism/Marriage details help!
« on: Thursday 16 January 14 00:32 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a brick wall with Samuel Bede Cooper.  He is on the census as being born in Selston, Nottinghamshire about 1805.  He married a Sarah (surname unknown) before 1841.  The children I have found are Cornelius Cooper born abt 1826 in Alfreton, Derbyshire.  Joseph Bede Cooper born 1827, Selson, Derbyshire and Frederic Cooper born 1835.  I am a bit confused as to the place names being the same but in two counties.  Sarah is on census as being born 1809 in Heanor Derbyshire.  Samuel was a schoolmaster.  He was down in the 1861 census, in Poplar, Middlesex as a widow living with his niece, a governess, Anne Jane Bennett or Burnett born 1831 in Herefordshire.  I can't seam to link her to him.  There are various Samuel and Sarah Cooper combinations from the same area that are not my couple to make things even more confusing! 

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Cheltenham Baptism/Christening lookup?
« on: Friday 10 January 14 09:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, sorry I am from New Zealand and don't quite understand the parish bit but hope I have enough info.

I am trying to confirm the parents of Ernest Bertie Gardner.

The free birth registers has him as born Apr/May/June 1900 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.

I believe his parents were Thomas and Mary Gardner, Thomas being a Carpenter.  He was later adopted into his sisters family.  Either this or his "sister" Florence Gardner was actually his mother!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Joseph and Sarah REANEY, Coventry
« on: Sunday 22 September 13 01:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi, trying to dig any extra info on Joseph and Sarah Reaney.  I have an 1841 census record for them living in Coventry, stating Joseph was born in Ireland abt1796 and was a silk ribbon weaver.  Sarah is down as being born in the same county as living (warwickshire) and born about 1811.  I have a death record for her from FreeBMD for 1849 age 39 in Coventry which fits as Joseph is down as widowed in the 1851 census.

I would love to find a marriage record for them to get a maiden name for Sarah. Their oldest child Anne was born about 1827 which would have made Sarah a young bride around 16-18.  Anne was born in Coventry also.

Any info on either Sarah or Joseph would be appreciated.

Thanks

Warwickshire / Frank & Francis Vernon, Birmingham
« on: Wednesday 28 August 13 11:34 BST (UK)  »
This is my first post so please bear with me!  I am really stuck on my GG Grandfather Frank Vernon.  I have a military record for him stating his birth year as 1879. It says his birthplace is what looks like "St Martin, Warwick"?
He married Ellen Short on 30 May 1904 in St Michaels Catholic church and I have the certificate. He was a Salt Hawker and lived in Aston, Birmingam his whole life until his death in 1928.  It says his fathers name was Francis Vernon, occupation "boatman" on the marriage cert.  I can't find a birth for him that fits or any census records for him or any Francis Vernon that have an occupation of boatman.  Would appreciate any leads or even ideas of where to look next.
