Can anyone read the name of the 2nd witness on thie marriage record that is on An...try.
London Church of England Banns and Marriages. Ernest Jaques and Alice Jeakings. St Mark. Old Street 11th January 1887. (Sorry-can't work out how to add cropped attachment)

I cannot find Ernest Jaques after 1891 and wondered if the witness name would help me. I have Alice sorted, just need Ernest.

Dublin / Irish Prison Registers
« on: Sunday 18 September 16 09:22 BST (UK)  »
I've found a record on FindMyPast Irish Prison Registers that might relate to  my 4x Gt grandfather.
William Taaffe

Date 21 Aug 1811
Offence - Exchequer Writ.
I take it that 'Exchequer Writ' is another term for failing to pay taxes or similar.

Is there a way of finding out more details to confirm my connection?

Many thanks

Hi

Can anyone tell me what "The Like to Mr John Ivey Grave" means on a Bunhill Fields register of deaths.Dated 24th February 1788. I've not seen this before, although the following record in the register say the same for another person.

I am trying to link it to this burial record  - 7th June 1786. "Mr John Ivey from Leather Lane in a grave"
John was my 5x Gr Grandfathers employer.

Found on Ancestry.

Many thanks

Suffolk / Elizabeth Lines(mn Harvey) 1802-?
« on: Sunday 15 September 13 12:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I'm hoping someone can help me find the death registration of my GGG grndmother. I have never been able to find out where she died or is buried.

I have all details of her up to the 1861 census where she is with her married daughter Emma Tooke at Fly's Close, Lowestoft. RG 9/1187/115 p36.

In 1841 she's in Spexhall with husband Thomas and 7 children (some from his first marriage)
In 1847 Thomas dies.
In 1851 she's in Colletts Yard, Halesworth with the her 4 younger children.

Many thanks

Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / Completed-Thanks-Thomas Jaques-Huguenot ancestry
« on: Tuesday 19 June 12 11:38 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I have managed to get my Jaques family line back to Thomas b 1761 - with the help of the Jaques website.

Family history says that Thomas was born in Grittleton- son of a Huguenot farmer - but we have not been able to find a birth record there. However there is a birth record in Alderton - 3 miles from Grittleton.Mother and father named as William and Hester.

Also a marriage of a William Jaques and Hester Little - same year - also in Alderton.
There have been Jaques's in Alderton for quite a considerable time - earliest baptism on A..Cy is 1650.
The names are all ones found in the family from Thomas b 1761 onwards.

How do I link my Thomas back to William & Hester?  I can get to the Chippenham Records Office, but do not know what documents I should be looking for.

Any thoughts and advice would be very welcome.

Jay

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Tom Collyer and all? - Just Tom
« on: Sunday 15 November 09 09:09 GMT (UK)  »
Would some kind person see if they can find a baptism record for a Thomas Collyer born about 1862 in Dymchurch. Father Michael Collyer Mother Jane Maynard. They married Dec 1856 in Dymchurch. There does not appear to be a registration of his birth

I have his marriage Cert - 1885 Lowestoft to my G Grandmother Emma - and his death Cert - 1938 in Peckham. Both suggest a birth date of 1862

There is however a birth and death record for a Thomas Collyer Maynard in June 1856-Dec 1856 Romney Marsh. I don't know whether to send for these and see if they help?
Many thanks

England / Completed -Thank you -Death Records pre 1837
« on: Sunday 02 August 09 09:09 BST (UK)  »
Hi
Can anyone tell me if I would be able find out what my 3x Great Grandfather Thomas died of in 1830? As it is before 1837 registration - I know it will be difficult- or is it impossible?

He was only 37 at the time. I know that this is probably about 'normal' for this time era - his father was over eighty when he died sixteen years later- and would like to find out how Thomas died

Thanks

J
