Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Please find Wiliam Woods, born in Amersham
« on: Friday 27 June 08 23:50 BST (UK)  »
My 4Xgt grandfather William Woods is in several census, including 1861, as a coachman domestic born in 1811. His birth place is given as Amersham and his wife Ann was born in 1816 in Manchester. In 1841 he was in the Picquet Barracks in Devonport, and 61 and 71 he was in London.

I can't find any record of him being born in Amersham. Can anyone help? Family lore says his grandson, my gt. grandfather, was Welsh, if that contributes anything. I've found family lore somewhat inaccurate!

Devon Lookup Requests / Please find birth of Sarah COCKRAM
« on: Wednesday 25 June 08 13:47 BST (UK)  »
My gt gt grandmother Sarah Cockram was born in Stockleigh Pomeroy (according to 1861 census--she married and lived in Berks.). I'm trying to find which Sarah Cockram she was. According to 1841 only one SC was born in Stockleigh Pomeroy and she is too old at 35. However, IGI says she that SC was christened in 1824. Her parents James and Charity were married in 1811. All her siblings appear much younger. Is it possible the 1841 census is wrong and she was really 15? Orig. document definitely says 35. Could someone find her birth date for me?
