Lancashire Lookup Requests / GUEST, Margaret
« on: Saturday 18 April 09 02:06 BST (UK)  »
Evening All:

I am stuck with my ancestor, Margaret GUEST, born 1806 in Worsley, Lancashire.  I have no information on her except for her marriage info.

   Margaret GUEST m. Thomas HINDLEY on June 9, 1836 at St. Mary's Deane
        Parish.   (Confirmed by microfiche look-up at a kind soul).  Birth of
        Margaret is noted in IGI post on LDS records.  Need to order certificate.

   Children: 

        Mary Guest Hindley  b. 1837
        Elizabeth Hindley     b. 1839
        Jane Hampson Hindley b. 1842 (my 3x great-grandmother)
             m. Albert James Jones, Leigh, in 1869.  Immigrated 1887 to USA
        John W.G. Hindley   b. 1846

The HINDLEY and JONES line are coming along well -- I am now trying to fill in some gaps with the women that married into the family.

Thank you for any assistance.

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / JONES, James & Elizabeth, Streatham, Surrey
« on: Wednesday 28 January 09 01:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hello to all!  Newbie here hoping to extend my family tree prior to 1791....
Here is what I know:

My 4x great-grandfather, Albert Nutting Jones (b. 1826, Streatham, Surrey) 
     m. Mary Monington (b. 1823, St. Pancras, Middlesex) in 1848 at St. Pancras 
     Church, Middlesex. 

     Albert's marriage certificate lists father as James but deceased prior to
     this marriage.  Arabella stood in for him at this wedding.   

     He was the son on James Jones and Elizabeth (unknown, married
     between 1820 and 1824), and brother to these children:
             Charles, b. 1825, unknown where born
             Arabella Cristiana, b. 1828, Streatham, Surrey
             Elizabeth, b. 1831, Streatham, Surrey
             Fanny, b. 1834, St. Leonard, Shoreditch
             Mark, b. 1836, Streatham, Surrey

I have been able to find baptismal records from Rootsweb BMD/GRO and the LDS site, familysearch.org for all above except for Charles.

My quest is to find out further information about James as well as Elizabeth's name.  We can find James & Elizabeth on the 1841 England Census at Fore Street, Whitechapel. James is 50 and Elizabeth 40 with children; Charles, Albert, Annabella, Elizabeth & Fanny.
 
I am aware that finding out Elizabeth's name would be almost impossible, even with actual baptismal papers.  Any other ideas come to mind?  Any facility I can write to?
Any direction is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Debra Jones Strezenec
