Berkshire / Walter Jennings Farey/Fairey/Fairy died 1856 Radley
« on: Sunday 24 March 24 04:14 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I have a Walter Jennings Farey baptised 31 Dec 1837 at St John's Hackney London to James (a coachman) and Mary Farey of Dalston.  I then have him with his parents and numerous siblings in the 1841 Census in Charles Street West Hackney, and the 1851 Census at Elizabeth Place West Hackney.  I haven't been able to locate him after this last for some time now.

Today I put his details into findmypast and came up with a death in 1856 at Radley Berkshire of Walter Jennings Fairy born 1838.  Now this is pretty encouraging although I have no idea why he would be in Radley.

I checked this on freeBMD and got Walter Fairey died 9/1856 Abingdon (which includes Radley) Vol 2c p163.  I then went to the GRO site to order an image and their search doesn't locate this death at all.

What I would like, if any-one can help, is any further details on the burial entry; find the GRO entry so I can order an image; or think of any reason why a poor 18yo lad from Dalston/Hackney would be so far from home in Radley Berkshire.

Cheers, Colin

Armed Forces / Service record - Allan Perry b1860 d1929
« on: Wednesday 29 November 23 04:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I am looking for a detailed service record of this man and offer the following to help locate it:

Allan Perry born 17 Apr 1860 at Luton Kent to Isaac & Betsy Kains (nee Bond) Perry

He went in to the Army Medical Dept in Aug 1884 and was appointed surgeon from Jan 1885; promoted to surgeon captain in early 1892; promoted to surgeon major in 1897.

He then left the army shortly thereafter to become Principal Civil Medical Officer and Inspector-General of Hospital in Ceylon and was there for over fifteen years.  He was knighted in 1904.

He re-activated for WWI into RAMC as a major and later lieutenant colonel running the Harvard Unit at General Hospital No22 at Camiers in France, then was at the Auxiliary Hospital for Officers at Fowey Cornwall.

Any information is gratefully received.

Cheers, Colin

Essex / Thomasin Chalk baptism 1697
« on: Friday 27 October 23 03:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Is it possible for some-one to view the parish register for St Mary the Virgin at Stansted Mountfichet for the baptism of Thomasin Chalk on 3 May 1697.

The information I have is that the female child is base born to Thomas Chalk of Great Hallingbury without a  mention of the mother; which I find unusual.

I am hoping there is something else on the page that may have been missed.

Many thanks, Colin

Wondering is anyone can find more details of these two burials which I am hoping are husband and wife.

James Gillam buried at Speen 1819 born 1757 so aged 62

Sarah Gillin buried at Speen 1826 born 1758 so aged 68

Many thanks in advance,
Colin

Hi All,

Could some kind soul have a look at this burial and see if there is any more information other than just her name and date.

Thanks.

London and Middlesex / Obediah & Francis Surridge baptisms 1640's
« on: Wednesday 01 March 23 21:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I am looking for the baptism of these two brothers Obediah & Francis Surridge between 1630 and 1650 (be imaginative with the spelling, I have had to use s*dg* to find later records and in some cases just *dg*).

I have come across baptisms at St Clement Danes and was hoping someone with access to the actual register may be able to look for any missing information:
     Obediah with no surname and no relatives in 1640
     Francis with no surname and no relatives in 1647

Any help is always appreciated,

Colin

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Richard & Cicely Northwood wills look up
« on: Monday 06 February 23 21:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am hoping some-one could look at the following two wills on the Staffordshire, Diocese of Lichfield & Coventry Wills & Probate database:

  1. Richard Northwood probate 1729 labourer of Shifnal Shropshire
  2. Cicely Northwood probate 1736 widow of Ryton Shropshire

I am looking for any mention of their son Richard and in particular if he is located somewhere in London.

It's a long shot hope for a connection.

Thanks, Colin

Shropshire / Marriage of Hugh Nevet to Mary??? before 1702
« on: Wednesday 21 December 22 01:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I have six children born at Holy Trinity, Much Wenlock to Hugonis (Hugh) and Mariae (Mary) Nevet as follows: Maria 29 Dec 1702, Willus (William) 12 Aug 1705, Thomas 5 May 1708, Elizabeth(a) 10 Apr 1711; Hugh (Hugo) 17 Dec 1713 and Sarah 9 Oct 1715.

I am trying to find the marriage of the parents which I would assume could be up to two or three years prior to the first child and have come across two confusing alternatives.

1) From the Montgomeryshire Marriages & Banns database on findmypast there is:
          Hugh Nevett to Mary Reignald sometime during 1700 at Buttington Montgomeryshire

2) From Herefordshire Bishops Transcripts database on familysearch there is:
          Hugh Newett to Mary Reignald at Bicknor Kent

Does anyone have a way to see the actual written entries to verify the transcriptions?

Cheers, Colin
