Dorset / Tollerfield spelling!!
« on: Saturday 06 March 10 15:36 GMT (UK)  »
If anyone has got stuck and spent numerous hours trying to find the name ‘Tollerfield’ on a census like I have been, then you might find this useful.

I have found that sometimes the name has been listed as Sollerfield, Totterfield, and even Sotterfield.

Hope this helps someone and saves him or her hours of searching.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Potts. I am stuck, can anyone help?
« on: Saturday 06 March 10 15:22 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Wondered if anyone can help me.

I am trying to trace my Grandfather’s side of the family in my tree, he was called Isaac Potts.

I have managed to trace the Potts’s back to William Potts b.1766 in Yorkshire.
He was married to Sarah Gregg; I do not know when or where she was born.

I have found him on 1841 census he was in a private asylum called 'moor cottage' in Nunkeeling With Bewholme, Yorkshire, aged 75.

I know he had a son called John Potts b.1795 in Yorkshire, he married Ann?
I do not know her maiden name but she was born in 1796 in Yorkshire and they had 5 children.

But that is where I get stuck.

If you can help me you can contact me at (*)

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Vernon. Can anyone help me?
« on: Saturday 06 March 10 15:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Wondered if anyone can help me.

I am trying to trace my Nan’s family tree, she was called Elsie Vernon.

I have managed to trace the Vernon’s back to John Vernon b.1814 in Ecclesfield, Sheffield, Yorkshire. He was married to Mary Ann Rodgers b.1824 in Lowshire Green, Yorkshire and they had 7 children.

I know he had a sister called Mary Vernon b.1816 also in Ecclesfield and his parents were John Vernon & Mary ?? But that is where I get stuck.

I do not know Mary’s maiden name, when either of them was born or when and where they were married.

If you can help me you can contact me at (*)

Hi

I am tracing my family tree and would like to contact anyone who has any information about the family/name Ogram within sheffield and/or Yorkshire area.

My tree goes back as far as 1520 but I am always on the lookout for more information and also looking to extend my tree.

I would also like to here from any distant relatives or anyone who has any Ogram stories.

Other close relative surnames in my tree are Almgill, Botterill, Camplin, Edeson, Marsh, Potts, Simmonite Tollerfield & Vernon

Thanks

Dorset / Tollerfield
« on: Friday 03 April 09 11:17 BST (UK)  »
I was really stuck with John Tollerfield b1824 but thanks to previous replies I have been able to go back as as far as his grandparents who I beleive were called John Tollerfield and Elizabeth ???? (same names as his parents)but I do not know any dates.

If anyone could help me anymore it would be great.

My resources for research are limited as I am housebound but this is what i have so far:-

John Tollerfield b1824 Church Knowle dorset had a brother and two sisters (Elizabeth b1831 dorest, Job b1827 Moreton dorset, Charlotte b???? dorset)
Parents were John Tollerfield b.1791 corfe castle, dorset & Elizabeth (Unknown) b.1793 Warmwell, Dorset
Grandparents John Tollerfield b???? & Elizabeth (unknown) b?????

I think this information is correct, it is hard to find as there are many variations on the spelling of Tollerfield as I am sure you have also found.

Thank you for reading this

Karen  ;D

Hi

I wondered if you could help me. I am trying to find the parebts of John Tollerfield b1828? Church Knowle, Dorset.

I can find him on the 1871 & 1881 cencus but not 1841, 1851, or 1861.

As far as I know he was a Tailor and spent a lot of his life in the Army, he married Ellen Hennessy on 07 Aug 1864 at St Mary, Dover, Kent, England.

I think Ellen father was called Daniel but after that I am well and truly stuck.
But cannot find anymore.

John is my daughters great, great, great grandfather.

Thank you so much
Karen  :)
