Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Marriage - HIGGS - Oakley?
« on: Wednesday 01 April 09 22:28 BST (UK)  »
After looking again at my research I discover that I need help looking up the marriage of a William Higgs to Elizabeth in about 1797-99 (in Oakley??). They then settled in Oakley and christened a child at Oakley in Dec 1799.
According to the 1841 census William was not born in Buckinghamshire but Elizabeth was.  For some years I have mistakenly thought that a couple of the same names who married in Drayton Parslow in 1794 were 'mine', but I now find this to be untrue.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Ellis marriage
« on: Wednesday 26 March 08 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage of William Ellis, a Tailor,  who was born in Kings Lynn in 1801 to a 'Lucy'. She was born in Stoke Talmage in about 1795. They settled in Tetsworth. Their first child was born in either 1820 or 1825. I am hoping that they were married in Stoke Talmage or Tetsworth. I would be grateful for any help or advice.
Many thanks in anticipation

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Liverpool Pilot
« on: Tuesday 20 November 07 18:44 GMT (UK)  »
My ancestor, George WILLER was born in Liverpool and married in 1842 at Liverpool 'Parish Church'. The marriage cert states that his father was David Willer, a Pilot.
I cannot find any trace of David Willer on ancestry.co.uk and wodered if someone could help me with a look up on the records of the Mersey Pilots.  It might give me a kick start to help finding more about him.
Thank you

Canada Lookup Request / Thomas H Johnson
« on: Tuesday 30 October 07 09:03 GMT (UK)  »
Thomas was born in Liverpool UK in 1878. He was a Coach painter by trade. Family sources indicate that he emigrated to Canada. This would have been after 1901 as I have found him in that year's census in Liverpool.
I really have no idea how to research this as my information is so sparce. and would be grateful for any suggestions.

Denbighshire Lookup Requests / Ruthin - Eliza Jones
« on: Sunday 28 October 07 18:03 GMT (UK)  »
One of my direct ancestors married an Edward Johnson who had been born 'in Ireland'. I don't know where they were married but they ended up living near Birkenhead. Eliza stated in the 1851 census that she was born in Ruthin in about 1819. I know that with a name like this it might be difficult to pinpoint her but I would be grateful to anyone who could look up her birth  in 1819 and her possible marriage before 1842.
Many thanks

Stirlingshire / N(i)elson in LARBERT
« on: Tuesday 23 October 07 15:11 BST (UK)  »
After a long time I have finally discovered my Scottish roots!  I have traced a Thomas N(i)elson in Barony, Lanark where it states that he was born in 1803 in Larbert, Stirling. He was married to a Janet Fergusson, but I have no place or date for this. I have been using ScotlandsPeople to get this far.  Does anyone have any suggestions for my further research or better still, does anyony recognise these names from their own family tree?

Fife / Mercer in Tulliallan
« on: Tuesday 23 October 07 14:59 BST (UK)  »
After many years searching, I have finally made a connection to my scottish ancestors.
I have traced back to a Lawrence Mercer who married Christian Gordon in Tulliallan in 1740.
Lawrence's father was James but I have now come to a full stop. (I am a little confused by the status of Tulliallan as it now seems to have disappeared into Perthshire.) Can anyone help me with possible ways forward with this topic

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / 1841 census - STANLEY in Bloxwich
« on: Saturday 08 April 06 17:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi
 I am trying to trace a John Stanley who I know was born in Bloxwich in 1831 or thereabouts. I have traced him on the available censuses but unfortunately he had left home by 1851 so I have not been able to find any info about parents or siblings. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

« on: Monday 27 February 06 13:11 GMT (UK)  »
From the 1861 census I have traced a William Margetts to being born in Withington in c 1812. I also know that he was married to a Mary Short from Withington and they moved to Eastington.
I would be grateful if anyone could direct me to a source where I could lookup the Withington registers both for the births and marriage
Thanks
Jeff
