Completed Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / STARMERS in Bugbrooke 1640-1710
« on: Wednesday 09 October 13 13:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

I'm hoping someone knows something about Bugbrooke.  I've just found that my ancestor Jeffrey STARMER, Citizen and Bowyer of London, (lived in Wapping, died 1735), had 'kinsmen' in Bugbrooke, Northants.  Not too surprising: Starmer does seem to be a Northants name, originally, but Northants is a new county for me, research-wise.

Bugbrooke PRs are on FreeREG from 1710, so I've got some info from there, and there are 9 STARMER/STARMAR burials 1658-1702 inclusive (listed below), but I've not found an on-line source for 17th C baptisms or marriages.  Can anybody advise me if there is one?

Alternatively, does anyone have access to Bugbrooke PRs and could check for STARMER entries c1640-1710?  Just double-checking the burials for extra info, eg. 'infant', 'wife of John', would be a great help to me.  They are as follows:
23 Oct 1658 Jane
27 Oct 1659 Jane
3 April 1665 Jeffery
10 Aug 1674 Isabell
27 Jan 1675 William
31 Oct 1681 Frances
16 Jan 1682 John
19 Feb 1702 John
29 Mar 1702 John

I'd be grateful for any advice or info, thanks!

Best Regards

Kent Lookup Requests / **COMPLETED** Queenborough, Kent, Marriage in 1812
« on: Saturday 08 June 13 13:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

I'm wondering if anyone has access to parish marriage registers for Queenborough in 1812, cos I've just noticed an index entry that may be what I'm looking for.

10 August 1812 (some sources give 19th): Peter BLUME and Elizabeth LEWIS

Any extra details could be helpful: residence/marital status of the parties, names of witnesses.  Any suggestion that the witnesses were the verger and the Parish Clerk, rather than friends or relatives of the couple (how many other marriages on the same page did they also witness?).  Any info at all would be gratefully received.

Thanks very much!

Completed Huntingdonshire Look ups / Hunts Marriages - HARDY - Completed Thank You
« on: Wednesday 10 April 13 23:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

Still clutching at straws regarding William HARDY.  He married someone called Ann (at least, I hope he married her!).  They settled in Cambridge St Andrew the Great from 1783, but they would have been old enough to marry from about 1775, so they may have 2-3 earlier children somewhere else.  Naturally, there's no marriage for them in Cambridge.

Can anyone tell me if there's a marriage for a William HARDY to Ann in Huntingdonshire, say 1775-1782?

Thanks very much.

Best Regards

Completed Huntingdonshire Look ups / HARDY Entries in St Ives, Hunts (later Cambs) 1774-1785
« on: Tuesday 19 March 13 21:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

I'm trying to follow a family named HARDY, who moved from Cambridge St Mary the Great to Cambridge St Andrew the Great, probably via a detour to St Ives, Hunts.  I'm hoping someone has access to the parish records of All Saints, St Ives, and can fill up some blanks for me.

Banns were read in St Mary the Great, Cambridge on 6 March 1774 for Henry HARDY of the parish to marry Ann OSBORN of St Ives (probably the one in Hunts).  Did this marriage take place in St Ives (it didn't happen in Cambridge)?  And can anyone give me details eg marital status of the parties, names of witnesses?

Do any baptisms in St Ives follow on from this marriage? 

Henry HARDY remarried in Cambridge on 16 March 1778, his new wife being named Susannah, but there are no baptisms for the couple in Cambridge until 1785.  Did Henry take Susannah back to St Ives and have children with her there 1778-1784?   

Lastly, I've found a burial index listing for a William HARDY in St Ives on 3 March 1777 with no age given.  Is any further information to hand about this burial, eg does it say William, son of Henry Hardy?  Are there other HARDY burials during the period 1774-1785 which I may have missed?

I hope this isn't too much to ask, all at once?  I'd be grateful for any information at all.

Thanks very much.

Best Regards

Cambridgeshire Completed Lookups / 1778 Marriage in Cambridge Holy Sepulchre: HARDY
« on: Sunday 17 March 13 17:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

I'm trying to study the Hardys in Cambridge, to see if they're all one family, or several.  I'm definitely descended from some of them!

Please could anyone give me the details from a marriage on 16 March 1778 in Holy Sepulchre, Cambridge, between Henry HARDY and Susannah MILLER?  Ideally, I'd like to know the names of their witnesses, their marital status, which parish they came from, and whether it was by banns or licence.

Thanks very much.

Best Regards

Cambridgeshire Completed Lookups / Cambridge St Andrew the Great Baptisms/Burials - HARDY
« on: Friday 01 March 13 14:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

Please, does anyone have access to parish records for St Andrew the Great, Cambridge, in the 1790s?  I'm trying to pick up the trail of my ancestor Sarah HARDY (married name HOLLIER), said to have been born in Cambridge (censuses) in 1791 (Workhouse record).  There seem to be four Sarah HARDY entries in St Andrew the Great: in 1791, 1792, 1793 and 1794.  Can anyone give me details for these?  (Basically, I want to be sure 'my ancestor' didn't die as an infant!)

Thanks very much, in advance.

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / ORCHARD in Ilkeston
« on: Friday 10 December 10 19:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi There

Does anyone have any info on Ilkeston PRs?  I'm hoping to find more on John ORCHARD who died there in 1841 aged 94.  He definitely had a daughter Martha c1787 whose married name was HITHERSAY, but he must have had more children - I think he married in  Greasley, Notts in 1775 (Elizabeth WOOLLEY - IGI).  The John ORCHARD c1791-1837 who died in Ilkeston is probably his son.  Any info on baptisms/burials of John's children c1775-c1795 would be welcome.

Thanks very much!

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Burial at Stapleford: John ORCHARD * COMPLETED *
« on: Friday 01 October 10 00:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

I'm stuck for a burial of John ORCHARD in Stapleford during or after 1810.  Stapleford burials haven't yet been transcribed by Notts FHS.  If anyone has access to the Stapleford burial records, I'd be grateful for a look-up.

John was a farmer, and I think came from Repton initially.  He married in Aston-on-Trent, Derbys in 1779, but most of his children were born in Stapleford 1781-1790.  His wife Mary died in 1795 - I have her burial entry (because someone else told me the date, and I was able to mail-order a photocopy).  I know John was still alive on 12th September 1810, because he is mentioned in a Will made on that date (made, not proved).  My guess is that he was about 60 by then, and will not have lived much longer - though hopefully until 1813, so that his approximate age at death will be given in his burial entry.  Certainly he doesn't appear in the 1841 census.  (Do note also that the John Orchard death cert in 1837 in Burton-on-Trent RD is that of a younger man - probably his son John b1790.) 

Any help would be gratefully received.  Thanks.

Ros

PS Thanks to those who sent me private messages about John Orchards - all goes into the file!  I've now tracked down this john's burial - thankfully.  It was Repton in 1825, he was 74.

Warwickshire Completed Lookup Requests / Stoke (in Coventry) St Michael Memorial Inscriptions - HANSON * COMPLETED *
« on: Tuesday 13 July 10 23:18 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone has access to a listing of memorial inscriptions in St Michael, Stoke (now Coventry)?  I learn that there is a memorial in the name of HANSON, which may well be relevant for me.  I'd be glad to know the details.

Thanks!

Ros

PS I've seen the partial listing which is available on-line, but the HANSON inscription isn't included - unfortunately.

I've now had a personal reply on this, which answers my query, thanks.   Ros
