I am trying to find a marriage record and last name for my ancestor's first wife, Dorothea, who accompanied him during the Peninsular war until returning to Ireland in 1813.

Marlborough Parsons Berry was paymaster to the 3rd Regiment of Foot throughout most of the Napoleonic Wars and later held the post of Barrackmaster at Tullamore. Dorothea died on 9 Nov. 1825 and is buried at the family churchyard at Eglish Castle. in 1827 M.P. Berry remarried to Martha Turpin.

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Bucknell, Ellis Edward born in Aston 1886
« on: Sunday 29 May 16 08:32 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the baptism records of Ellis Edward Bucknell. He was born in Aston, Warwickshire in 1886 and met and married Anne Summerton in Andover during the First World War. They had a residence in Camberwell, Surrey, during the war before moving to Yorkshire. Anne's family were from Great Ouseburn/Acomb area in Yorkshire. Ellis Bucknell died in Leeds in 1952.

I understand that his father's name was Edward Bucknell and I am looking for his marriage, baptism and burial records as well. Any help would be appreciated.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / William Westall Cheapside and Kent
« on: Saturday 28 May 16 13:00 BST (UK)  »
William Westall was a partner in the London firm of Westall & Co., Later Baggallay, Spence and Westall, a haberdashery wholesaler. In 1826 William Westall (or his father?) is listed as one of the founding 'proprietors' of the University of London. In 1830 he is a plaintiff in a theft court case at the Old Bailey, representing the firm, which was then at King Street, Cheapside. (The defendant was found guilty and sentenced to transportation for seven years). In 1831 he was an initial subscriber to 'A Topograghical Dictionary of England'. In 1835 he is listed as an elector for Aylesford in a poll to select the knights of the shire representing the western division of the county of Kent in parliament. His address is given as 20, King Street, Cheapside. By 1839 the firm has moved to Love Lane, Aldermanbury, London, as witnessed by a petition to parliament for lower postal rates, to which the firm is a signee. There is a record of a William Westall apprenticed to a haberdashery firm in Oxford.

I am looking for baptism, burial and marriage records for him and for his son William.

Canada Lookup Request / Trewin family of Darlington/Clark Townships Ont.
« on: Wednesday 25 May 16 09:28 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for the burial records, or any other records for that matter, for Thomas and Mary (nee Brimacombe) Trewin, who emigrated from Week Saint Mary between 1841 and 1850 with the Bible Christians. As far as I know the entire extended family went with them including my great-great grandfather Thomas and his wife Ann(nee Kinsman). I have information on Ann and young Thomas, but cannot find any references to where their parents ended up. Thomas (the elder) was baptised in Whitstone, Cornwall in 28 Oct 1792, not far from the family house, Newpark, in neighbouring Week Saint Mary. His trade was given as 'cordswainer'. They may have been members of the Bible Christian Chapel in Whitstone. In the 1841 census Mary's father, John Brimacombe, was still living with them. He may have died i Cornwall or stayed behind. Eventually all of the married children arrived in the Bowmanville area including daughters Ann, Elizabeth and Joanna (the Broads, Slemons and Rundles).
