England / Stephen WALKER (c1771-1833)
« on: Sunday 06 January 13 17:23 GMT (UK)  »
This chap is one of my major brick walls!

The first mention of him that I have found is when he and his wife Elizabeth have a child baptised in St Nicholas, Deptford in 1805. In the same year he appears on the Taxation lists as a tenant in Stowage, Deptford. They have a total of 6 children baptised in Deptford: some in St Nicholas and some in St Paul.

There is a possible earlier child, John, who takes over the tenancy of the property in Stowage when Stephen dies in 1833.

So I am looking for his marriage, prior to 1805, to identify his wife's surname and for his birth/baptism around 1771 (calculated from his burial record).

I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Best wishes,

Gerry

Sussex / Thomas NEWNHAM (c1680-1725)
« on: Wednesday 02 January 13 15:41 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the birth/baptism of Thomas NEWNHAM who seems to have been born some time before 1683. Also looking for his marriage to Ann (surname unknown) some time in or before 1699.

Thomas died in Birling, Kent in 1725 having fathered at least one child (William in 1699) with Ann and two further children (Thomas in 1704 and Rosamund in 1705) with Joane LUFFE, all baptised in Birling. However I have been unable to locate his birth/baptism nor his first marriage in Kent and have therefore moved the search to Sussex.

Any assistance would be very gratefully received.

Best wishes for 2013,

Gerry

Armed Forces / William Henry LANGTON (1862-1916), Royal Horse Artillery

Is there anyone who can advise, please, where I might find a record of this ancestor's service in the RHA?

I do know that he had enlisted by 1886 as his marriage certificate states his occupation as Gunner at the RHA Barracks in Aldershot. He was no longer serving in 1901 as he was by then a Labourer in Leamington Spa.

I have searched the Attestation records at Kew as well as the Ancestry and FindMyPast records without success.

Many thanks,

Gerry

Kent Lookup Requests / Hartlip - Griffiths
« on: Wednesday 07 April 10 13:49 BST (UK)  »
Would someone who has access to the Hartlip parish registers be so kind as to do a lookup for me please? I am looking for the marriage before 1810 (probably between 1780 and 1810) of a male GRIFFITHS to a Margaret (unknown surname).

By way of explanation, Margaret's husband died and she re-married as Margaret GRIFFITHS, widow, to Benjamin NEWNHAM, at Hartlip in 1810.

Regards,

Gerry
