Warwickshire / Re: What happened to William Huntbach?
« on: Monday 20 December 21 00:11 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for everyone’s time & effort with this.

Yes Kay99, the Morris family indicated is part of the research, however connecting them to this marriage has three hypothesises:
1.   The marriage is not connected to the family, just common names.
2.   The family changed their name from Huntbach to Morris.  Not sure why they would do this.  Also the name Morris only appears after 1840 and only on some records.  Also using the census birth places & years, a birth of a William Morris in Bilston is possible, but should it be Huntbach?
3.   Mary Ann Lines marries William Huntbach, has two children.  Then something happens to William Huntbach (maybe death, overseas), Mary Ann Lines ends up with William Morris (possibly no marriage record), the first two children sometimes use HuntbachMorris (would this be accepted practice at this time) as their surname, then the rest of the children use Morris as surname. Note that there is no mention of Huntbach on Eleanor's or Phoebe's birth registration (Only on the church records shown)

So research is to locate records to support or reject these hypothesises.

If anyone has any thoughts, possible documents/ sources of information that may assist, it would be appreciated.

Warwickshire / What happened to William Huntbach?
« on: Saturday 18 December 21 02:19 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching William Huntbach who married Mary Ann Lines on the 15 July 1832 at St Peter & Pauls, Aston near Birmingham.
I can not locate this couple in the 1841 census, or a death of William and also can not locate any children (possibly one in 1835 and another in 1838).  Any ideas or information would be appreciated.

Warwickshire / Banns for St Peter and Pauls Ashton near Birmingham for Lines
« on: Wednesday 14 August 19 09:11 BST (UK)  »
There is a parish record for the marriage of Mary Ann Lines to William Huntbach for the 15 July 1832 at St Peter & Pauls, Ashton near Birmingham.  Interested to see if the names on the Marriage banns match the marriage record. Would the Marriage Banns for this church and period exist?  If so, how could a copy (not transcript) of this particular Bann be obtained?

Staffordshire / Re: Origin of Middle name
« on: Thursday 18 July 19 07:02 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to all.  Just following up on a few things:  Would the St Leonard's baptism & marriage records that are suggested contain more information than that listed in the thread?  How would I go about getting a copy of these (are they online??).  Also in regard to the marriage of William Morris to Mary... (wife on the 1841 Census), I think this may have occurred in Birmingham as this is where Mary is from.  One possible marriage is to Mary Yardley 21 Sept 1829 St Phillips.  But again trying to locate what these might show and how to get a copy of the actual record.
I think I will try to locate possible siblings of William Morris from Bilston and see where it leads me.

Staffordshire / Origin of Middle name
« on: Wednesday 17 July 19 09:27 BST (UK)  »
I am seeking advice about the origin of a middle name of one of my ancestors. His name is William Morris born in Bilston Staffordshire abt 1808.  His middle name is recorded as Huntbach on many documents and this has also been passed down through his descendants both male & females.  I am wondering whether the name of Huntbach might be connected to the Bilston region or have some significance for it to be used as a middle name and also what type of documents might be of assistance in going back further.
I have tracked William Morris back to 1841 using census records. (1841 H 107/1144/7 at Little Charles street Birmingham,  1851 H107/2176 at Burlington st Liverpool, 1861 RG 9/2500  North St Derby.) I have not been able to locate his Marriage record (which possibly will not have his father's name on anyway).  thanks for any advice

Antrim / John & Samuel Mayne of Ballyboley
« on: Monday 15 October 18 08:31 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the family of Thomas & Martha Mayne of Ballyboley.
I am trying to locate the birth details of a son John Mayne. He is mentioned in his father Thomas Mayne’s Will along with his brother James.  There is a death of a John Mayne in 1886 (age 63) whose brother James was at the death. There is also letters of administration for John which mentions James.  However I have not been able to locate a birth record for John.  Any assistance would be appreciated.
There is also another son, Samuel, born in 1825 (we have the record). Samuel is also listed in the Revision Books in 1887, however his name does not appear in the 1893 revision book. This is the last trace of him.  I haven’t been able to locate a death record or a trace of Samuel.  Any assistance would be appreciated.
