Kent / Jane Eliza Godden, Tenterden
« on: Monday 06 September 21 19:08 BST (UK)  »
She married John Mennie on 14th December 1855 at Christ Church, Folkestone.

My query is that John was listed as a "Corpe Tronian Island British Subject" on the 1851 Census. Is this a mis-transcription as I can't find out anything about this Island.

Any help would, as per usual, be very grateful be received. David

Denbighshire / Llannerch Lodge/Hall, Trefnant
« on: Friday 27 August 21 12:01 BST (UK)  »
My grandfather, EDWARD HANKEY, was listed as a Pantry boy at Llannerch at the time of the 1901 Census aged 14.

Can anyone tell me who the owner of the Hall was at that time? I think he may have been an industrialist of some sought.

Thanks in advance, David

Montgomeryshire / Mary Price & Matthew Henry Morris
« on: Thursday 26 August 21 11:19 BST (UK)  »
Just wondered if anyone has connections to the above who were married at St Nicholas, Church Stoke on 30th June 1853.  I understand Mary 1824-1900 was the daughter of Edward 1803-1887 & Mary (unknown maiden name) born 1805 at Caersws.

Matthew 1824-1887 came from Kington, Herefordshire and was a Inland Revenue Clerk. Matthew & Mary's daughter, Caroline 1854-1892 is my maternal great grandmother. She married John Wait at Welshpool in 1883.

I am looking to go back further from Edward & Mary and any information would be greatly appreciated, David.

Gloucestershire / Georgina Clapp & George Freeguard
« on: Friday 29 January 21 20:03 GMT (UK)  »
Help required, please.

One of my ancestors, George Freeguard, married Georgina Clapp at St Matthew, Moorfields, Bristol on 1st March 1884, but which one?!!

Her father is listed as Henry, however, there are two christenings of Georgina Clapp, one dated 24th June 1860 and the other dated 25th February 1863 both in Bristol and  both showing the father as Henry and mother as Mary Ann.

Would she have been christened twice or were there two girls with the same name?

Any help, as per usual, would be greatly appreciated. Regards, David

Oxfordshire / John Meddoms marriage
« on: Sunday 11 October 20 11:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I would be grateful if anyone can assist in finding the marriage of John Meddoms 1840-1868 to Sarah Abbotts. The 1861 Census lists him as "married" a farmer of 130 acres at Hornton, Oxfordshire with his "wife", Sarah and new born daughter also named Sarah.

I have hunted for some time now all to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated. David

Warwickshire / Susan Ballard Ainsworth b 1820
« on: Tuesday 29 September 20 12:55 BST (UK)  »
More help req'd please.

The above appears to have been baptised twice, on 6th February 1820 at St John, Deritend and also on 20th October 1820 at St Phillip, Birmingham. Both recorded in the England Births & Christenings 1538-1975 records, both with parents of Isaac & Ann.

Was this usual? Or were there two families both with parents of Isaac & Ann and a daughter of Susan Ballard, highly unusual me thinks.

Staffordshire / Hannah Gadd 1855
« on: Friday 25 September 20 12:46 BST (UK)  »
Help is required over this quandary I have.

Hannah Gadd b 1855 in West Bromwich according to her baptism records had the parents of Benjamin Gadd & Elizabeth Law.

Benjamin's brother, James Gadd married Mary Ann Holloway and they too had a daughter named Hannah according to the 1871 Census b 1855.

I can only find one birth/baptism. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Regards, David

Kent / Alfred Worthington 1835-1925
« on: Friday 22 May 20 21:01 BST (UK)  »
Whilst researching my extended family tree I have come across the above who according to the 1841 Census (HO107 494 27) was living with his mother and his siblings at Marine/Mesine Place, St James the Apostle Dover, Kent. I presume his father Benjamin was at sea as he was a Royal Navy Lieutenant.

My query is; at the bottom of the Census return it states Affiliate Record Type, Institution.

Can anyone say what type of Institution this was?

Thank you in anticipation.

Lancashire / Mary Ann McCormick
« on: Sunday 03 May 20 10:40 BST (UK)  »
The above was born in Widnes on 13th March 1921. According to the 1939 England & Wales Register she is listed as Mary A Barber (McCormick) living with her parents Michael & Ada.

The query is she did not marry Kenneth Barber until 1944 so I wonder why she took his name in 1939?

I would be very grateful, as per usual, of any help.
