Carmarthenshire / Ideas re James Evans - a disappearing Policeman
« on: Wednesday 16 July 14 11:12 BST (UK)  »
James Evans was b in Kennington Surrey 1806 - was inspector / superintendent of met police
married first time (don't know wife's name)
Married second time in London 1849 to Louisa Eleanora Johnson nee Morgan originally of Dolgoch, Nr Newcastle Emlyn
They appeared in Tenby in 1861 with daughters Louisa Sara and Ellen Harriet.
Louisa dies in Carmarthen (King St) in 1869 - death cert says husband was retired inspector of met police - her age was given as 42 but the burial cert at St Peter's gives 62 which was more likely
daughter Ellen Harriet had died aged 13 in 1866 - burial was again at St peter's.
I can't find what happened to James - I found another St peter's burial of James Evans, King St in 1875 but have just got the cert and occupations / informant is wrong (unless he had become a bell hanger master and boot and shoe maker) .
I can't find him in the 1871 census
Any ideas?

Cardiganshire / Age of Executor - will of Daniel Rowland d Llangeitho 1790
« on: Monday 09 June 14 21:28 BST (UK)  »
Rev Daniel Rowland wrote his will in 1784, 6 years before he died. In it he named his wife Elinor as one executor. The other executor was Daniel Rowland, son of Nathaniel Rowland, Clerk


An addition at the bottom of the will states to the effect that Rev Daniel Rowland's son Nathaniel and his son Daniel should be executors.

my problem is dating the birth of the younger Daniel. Nathaniel's DOB is generally given in biographies as 1749 but presumably young Daniel would have had to be 21 at the time of the will writing etc ? or is that not necessarily the case?
(I have the births of other children of Nathaniel as Elizabeth in 1775 and Louisa in 1785.)

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / St Philip's Marriages - REEVES 1816
« on: Friday 03 January 14 17:05 GMT (UK)  »
 :D  Hi has anyone got access to the St Philip's B'ham register?

I am looking for the marriage of Thomas Reeves and Sarah Ratheram 27th May 1816 - I know there isn't a lot of info on the registers but whether Thomas was Bach or Wid and whether they were "of the parish" and whether the witnesses were listed would be very helpful

(should be a clutching at straws emoticon...)  :)

Thanks, Jane

Hello
Have found Francis Hallam in the 1841 census b approx 1776 and the 1851 census b approx 1773 - in Ruddington.
Lived nearby for 14 years, took the kids to school in Plumtree for years ... then moved away and discovered after all that I had had ancestors in the area!

Has anyone access to the Ruddingtojn baptisms - would be keen to know if parents were mentioned.


Many thanks,

« on: Tuesday 05 July 11 13:26 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Am feeling defeated by circumstances and hoping someone might be able to help me.

I am looking for some baptisms in Loxhore.

I live in Yorkshire and am coming on holiday to North Devon in August but just discovered that the RO is shut for the week I am there  ::) :(.

I have Richard Toutt b approx 1770-80 d before 1851, married Ann Harris in Loxhore in 1798, she was b Loxhore according to 1851 census (Goodleigh). Reckon she was b about 1780 but census is quite unclear ,
If anyone is looking at Loxhore could they look up their baptisms and also any kids? My one is Fanny b 1800 (ish).

Many thanks
Jane

« on: Tuesday 06 February 07 21:45 GMT (UK)  »
Have just received the marriage certificate of Charles Shears and Fanny Ballard "otherwise Goddard" - a spinster - daughter of John Ballard.
They married in 1851 in Winterslow.
On the birth certificate of their son John Shears she is described as Fanny Shears formerly Goddard.
can anyone throw any light on this?
