I had traced back my Nock ancestors well into the 1650s, starting from Phillis Nock, born in approx 1819, who married James Davies in Old Swinford, Worcester, in 1840. I had assumed that she was the Phillis Nock christened in 1821 to Aaron and Lucy Nock, and had traced Aaron's forebears. However, I could not find out what happened to Aaron and Lucy after the 1820s. My fruitless researching came to a head yesterday, when I found Aaron and Lucy Nock in Durham, having more children. Furthermore, after Lucy died, the key to knowing this was the same family was Aaron's second marriage. His father on this marriage transcription was 'Noble'; so I knew I had the correct man, and on censuses, he was born in Worcestershire. However, I would never have found this prior, as it was recorded under 'Knox'.
To my dismay, I found a record for a Phillis Knox, father Aaron Knox, marrying in Durham, in 1839- so my Phillis, and all of her Nock ancestors, are completely wrong! I had a sorry night deleting them all off  of my tree, after a year of work on them. I guess my story shows the importance of getting certificates to back up your data- Phillis' marriage certificate would be a good start. Does anyone else have a similar story? I am glad I have found out the truth, but I do not know where to go next regarding Phillis, as the only other Phillis was born in 1825, not 1819 as she is recorded on the censuses. I have some thinking to do!

Anne, Ann or Anna Maria Lennon was born between 1827-1831 in Athlone, Westmeath.

Her marriage in 1845 in Cork states her father as Thomas Lennon, but with no occupation. This states her as a minor.

Her first child was then born, according to military and census records, a year later in 1846 in Ballykeeran, just a few miles from Athlone. I can't find this child's baptism either- Henry William Raymond junior.

I've found many tithe records stating a Thomas Lennon in the 1820s around Athlone and the various parishes in it as well as other Lennons.

A Landon Thomas Lennon is found in 1842 in Cheshire, England. He was residing in Ballykeeran at the time of his marriage, and his father was also a Thomas Lennon. (a gentleman) Considering the name Landon is passed through generations of Anna's children, I'm sure they're siblings or at least cousins, and a Landon Lennon is a name cropping up in Westmeath. He's born between 1812-1818 in Athlone too.

I've searched through the available records of Athlone on the Irish registers, and searched on all the main sites, but I can't find any record of Anna's baptism. Does anyone have any suggestions or can find Anne? Anything would be appreciated. 

Ann Veasey married William Heap 21 Sep 1857 Walton on the Hill. Parents John Veasey, Joiner, and Samuel Heap, labourer. All attempts to trace these two with these father's names and details from the census have failed. They were described as minors, so I'm wondering whether they didn't have their parents consent, and made this up.

Ann was supposedly born around 1837-1839 in either Liverpool or Ireland, depending on which census you look at. The only Ann Veasey born around this time was not born to a John- she was seemingly born to a James.

There is an Ann on the 1841 and 1851 censuses born around the right time and right place. 1841 living presumably with parents James and Margaret, and 1851 living with her aunt and uncle William and Mary Daley. The Daleys in 1851 were living in Dale Street, the same place in 1841 where the Veaseys lived. in 1861, the Daleys had another Veasey neice living with them.

I've mostly reached a brick wall. I don't know how the Daleys are related exactly, whether this is the right Ann, and whether the Ann Veasey born 1839 in Strokestown, Roscommon to a Veasey and Margaret Camphill/Campbell (the marriage of Margaret shows him being James/Jacobum.) is my ancestor Ann.

The only evidence for this being Ann is that on one of her children's Catholic Liverpool Baptisms, the godparents' surnames look like Daley. (or Darly.) William and maybe Cath? Daley/Darly.  Ann and William baptised their first half of children Catholic,(mother's maiden name Veasey (or variations of it), so definitely them!)  and then the second half Protestant (confusing!)

If anyone could help me, I would be so grateful. Also, on another of her children's baptisms, the godparents are an Anthony and Maria Vasey, but I can't establish their relationship to Ann.

Hello!

I was wondering if anybody could help me. I have come across two brick walls in my family in Wiltshire.

The first one is Larret Casy, married Charles Wright 1691 and d 1721under Lany Wright both in Rodbourne Cheney.
The second is Ichabod Wells married John Preddy/Pridy 1693 in Lydiard Tregoze. No death found.

Both women's husbands had been married before (although I can't find the marriages) so they both have a birth date of around 1670. I've been searching for a while but am obviously confused as Ichabod is usually a male forename and it is definitely this, as her children's baptisms say so.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
