Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Confusion over Deborah Akerman.
« on: Sunday 10 February 13 15:26 GMT (UK)  »
Help Please!!!!!

William Bateman b.c.1811 Cumnor, Oxon. married Mary Sherwood b.c.1814 Cumnor, Oxon. at Cumnor on 22 Nov 1835.

I'm trying to find their parents and I'm getting rather confused.
I can find William's parents as William Bateman b.c.1785 and Deborah Akerman b.c.1783. and
I can find Mary's parents as William Sherwood b.c.1772 and Deborah Akerman b.c.1785.

I've tried to research the two Deborahs but they seem to be the same person!   Can anyone help me
sort this problem out please?    Did she have two marriages on the go at the same time?!!!   :-\
Many thanks for your help.

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Sarah Ann West - what happened to her?
« on: Tuesday 15 January 13 15:55 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me to find details of Sarah Ann West b.c.1864 Birmingham.
I think her father was called William West.
She married John Kemble Wilkes in 1880 Alvechurch, Worcs and they went to Australia where they had two children Roseanna (1884) and William (1887), both born in Queensland.
By 1895 she was back in England and married to Walter Thornton and had four more known children.
What happened to John Wilkes?  Did he come back to England with her?  Did they divorce in Australia or England?  When and where did she marry Walter Thornton?

I'd be extremely grateful for any help with this.      Thank You!!!!

Australia / Sarah and John WILKES trip to Australia in the 1800's.
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 13:57 GMT (UK)  »
Sarah Ann Wilkes (nee West), and her husband John Kemble Wilkes emmigrated from England to Australia sometime between 1880 and 1885.

They had two children while they were there, Rose Ann Wilkes b.c.1885 and William Henry Wilkes b.c.1887.

They were living at Rockhampton, Queensland.

Can anyone help with any details of the date they arrived in Oz, where they landed and the name of the ship please.

Also can you find similar details of when they returned to England.  It must have been around 1890/5?.  Sarah may have

returned on her own with the children as she and John divorced, not sure if it was in Oz or UK.  I don't know what happened to

John after this.  I'd be very grateful for any help at all.

Australia / Was it Divorce or Death?
« on: Tuesday 27 September 11 21:24 BST (UK)  »
Can someone please look for the death of John Kemble Wilkes (b.c.1856 UK).

He and his wife Sarah Ann had two children b.1885 and 1886 Rockhampton QLD.

Sarah Ann and the children came back to UK and she remarried.

Did they divorce or did John die?  It would have been between 1886 and 1895.

Warwickshire / Info please, on Sarah Ann West b.c.1864. B'ham
« on: Monday 12 September 11 18:59 BST (UK)  »
I'd be very grateful if someone could help me find the parents and any other details of Sarah Ann West, b.c.1864 Birmingham. 
 
She married John Kimble/Kemble Wilkes in 1880 in Birmingham, and they went to Australia where they had 2 known children.

Some years later she came back to the U.K. with her children, but no sign of John Wilkes....did he die or did they divorce?

She then married (Walter?) Thornton and had 4 more children.  I need to find info on Sarah Ann or Mr Thornton.   :-\

Thanks very much.

« on: Tuesday 09 August 11 20:04 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me with my current "brick-wall" please!

Cyril Frank Thornton (b.2.11.1907 Vauxhall, Birmingham) married Sylvia Norah Squire on 25.4.1935.

The only details I have of Sylvia is her fathers name...Egbert Squire (Farmer), and the fact that she died in 1991.

Cyrils parents were Walter Thornton (b.c.1863 London.  died 16.11.1936 Birmingham) and Sarah Ann

Wilkes, formerly West. (b.c.1862 Warwick)  Was she born in Warwick, England or Warwick, Australia???

I'd be really grateful for any help at all as I can't find a single thing about them!!

Durham / ROBSON - DURHAM
« on: Saturday 10 July 10 16:19 BST (UK)  »
Margaret Jane Robson was born c.1833 in Coxhoe, Durham.

Her marriage certificate (to George Allan on 16/2/1857 at Brancepeth) names her father as Charles Carr, a collier.

Can anyone help me with details of her mother please. 

Was Charles Carr her real father or was there a Mr Robson around when she was conceived!?
