Sussex / Frett and Wright in Hastings/Lewes
« on: Wednesday 12 September 07 21:04 BST (UK)  »
Although not one of my main lines of research, this might help clear up some things that don't tie up in my family tree.  My gt-gt-grandma's brother, James Cope, married Ann Luella Frett at Paddington in 1840.  The 1841 census includes Zephora Wright in their household, which tallies with a family bible entry, (where it's spelled Zipproah) indicating she was Ann's mother.  The 1851 entry does not show Zephora but gives Anne's place of birth as Hastings.
According to family notes, James Cope's mother had a first marriage to a William Wright, reputedly a clockmaker from Lewes.  I have failed to find this and wonder if past generations of the family have got their branches crossed!
I would be very grateful to hear of any sightings of Frett in Sussex, particularly if associated with Wright, clock/watch makers or shoemakers.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Rutherford Family - Shoemakers in Hoxton
« on: Saturday 08 September 07 18:15 BST (UK)  »
Amos Gurney Rutherford married Ann Martin at St Giles, Cripplegate on 13 April 1857.  I have traced them in later census records, to Hoxton, living in Union St in 1871 and Cu stance (?) St in 1881.  They had 6 children: Elizabeth b. c1857 Ann b. 1861 (Flower makers), Ellen b. 1864, Amos b. 1862, William b.1868 and Henry b 1870.  I have not been successful in tracing any of the 6 children and would like to find out what became of them.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Birth/Baptism Ann Wakefield
« on: Saturday 08 September 07 15:20 BST (UK)  »
Thought to be c. 1780 - 1790.  Her sister, Martha's, baptism recorded at St Giles in the Fields, London in 1789 & gives parents as Joseph & Susan Wakefield.  According to family bible notes Susan's maiden name was Livermore and her family came from Maldon, Essex.  I have failed to find a marriage entry and a fellow Rootschat-ter confirms there is no entry in Boyd's Index.  Any information/ideas re Ann or her parents gratefully received.

Family notes give Susan, from Maldon Essex as living from 1745-1828.  I have no information on Joseph Wakefield.  They had 3 children James, Ann (my 3 x gt grandmother) and Martha.  Martha's baptismal record, 23 Nov 1789 was located at St Giles in the Fields, London and confirmed her parents names as Joseph & Susan
