Westmorland Lookup Requests / Marriage 18th Mar 1835 - Burton in Kendal, Westmoreland - William Pennells
« on: Tuesday 07 February 17 18:19 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help me with this marriage please?

Does the parish record give the name of the father of William Pennells who married Ann Clarke

His occupation was a butcher

Unfortunately there are a number of William Pennells born in Burwash in Sussex around 1803 & it is not possible to confirm the identity of this particular William without reference to his father's name

Thanks

Kent Lookup Requests / Paskins Family Harrietsham
« on: Monday 19 September 11 13:48 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in a Samuel Paskins who was born abt 1777 in Broadwater by Worthing in Sussex

I know he was a lawyer in Harrietsham near Maidstone in Kent dying there in 1855

His wife Charlotte was ten years younger & died in 1868

As far as I can make out they had a number of children

Robert 1805, Christopher 1810, Thomas 1813, James 1816, Samuel 1821, Charlotte 1824 & William 1827

Only the last  three of these appear in the IGI so I am unable to confirm their parents without recourse to the parish records in Maidstone

Samuel (1777 to 1855) had a sister Jane (1765 to 1836) who is my direct ancestor - she lived in Cobham near Gravesend

Please can anyone help me with this family

Thanks

Sussex Lookup Requests / George Keeley born 1835/1836
« on: Tuesday 20 July 10 18:23 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me to seperate two George Keeleys born in Etchingham/Salehurst 1835/1836

One married a Lydia Goodsell in Dover Reg District in 1860, the other a Louisa Bishop in 1857 in Ticehurst Reg District

If the parish marriage records for Etchingham/Salehurst give the names of the fathers I can work out which one is "my" one

Thanks for your help

Suffolk / Sarah ANDREWS b1797 Brettenham
« on: Friday 05 February 10 14:26 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to establish whether the Sarah Andrews who married William Woollard (or Woolard) on the 5th April 1813 in Naughton is the same Sarah Andrews who was baptised in Brettenham on 23rd April 1797

She would have only just turned 16 if she was baptised fairly soon after birth baptism date

Sarah's parents were John Andrews (date & place of birth unknown) & Sarah Pearl b1776 in Thorpe Morieux - they were married on the 10th October 1773 in Thorpe

Thanks

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Charles Godfrey born 1886 Witney
« on: Friday 18 December 09 09:30 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to establish whether the Charles William Godfrey born 3rd November 1886 (date from family member) is the same Charles as the son of John Godfrey & his wife Lucy nee Weaver who lived in the Hailey area of Witney 

I can find no other Charles Godfrey who matches in BMD records

I have two problems in that my Charles William appears in the 1891 census as Charles E

Also all his sibling's births were registered in Witney whereas my Charles William was registered in Stow (1886 Q4 Vol 6a Page 375)

Thanks

Hertfordshire / Kings Langley Birth 1894
« on: Saturday 26 September 09 19:49 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to solve some details of the birth of a Harry Randolph Clifton on 13th June 1894 - registration of the birth was in Abbots Langley sub district on the 10th July 1894

His birth was "on the wrong side of the blanket" & the details given for his father on his birth certificate are obviously false

The family always lived in Bicester, Oxon but he was born in Kings Langley

The place of birth is given as Primrose Hill RSD in Kings Langley - I suspect this was some kind of establishment which helped mothers in this situation

I am hoping that someone might have come across this establishment before with more detailed knowledge especially what RSD stands for

Thanks

Gerry
