Kent / Re: Goldsmith Family Ramsgate Kent
« on: Monday 12 December 11 19:10 GMT (UK)  »
Try this for size!

There was a plasterer called Jabez Janes from Breamore, Fordingbridge, New Forest, Hants c.1820 who married Maria Cooper from Edgeware Lodge, New Forest Hants (extra-parochial) between Jan-Mar 1843 at the New Forest, Hants. (Vol.8 p.293). On the 1851 census they were living at Pound House,  Speen, Speenhamland, Near Newbury, Berkshire. with no children and one servant, Emily Middleton aged 14. (perhaps mistranscribed (?) on LDS IGI as surname "James"). Neither he nor his wife appear in subsequent UK census records so we can assume that they either died, changed their name or emigrated.

There was a Jabez James Berridge d.o.b. 13/1/1819 baptised at the Above Barr Independent Chapel, Southampton, Hants on 15/8/1821 son of Thomas and Hephzibah Berridge.Jabez appears to have had 2 brothers (born to the same unusually named parents) as follows: Perry Berridge, baptised in Newport Pagnall, Buckinghamshire on 2/1/1811 and Edwin Berridge, baptised in Bedford, Bedfordshire on 23/7/1835.I can find no record of the marriage of Thomas and Hepzibah Berridge on Ancestry, LDS IGI or Non-conformist BMD records.

Above Bar Congregational Church:
The church was founded in 1662 under the ministry of Rev Nathaniel Robinson. Having outgrown the original chapel, the a new building was erected on the site in 1727. This was later demolished in 1819 and replaced by an even larger building, the first stone of which was laid on 1 April 1819, and the building was completed on 20 April 1820, having cost nearly £6,000. A re-opening service was held on 6 November 1889.
The Church was the main Non-Conformist church in the city in the nineteenth century, when it was known as Above Bar Independent Chapel (later on becoming Above Bar Congregational Chapel, the oldest church in the Congregational Union. The pastor from 1810 to 1868 was Rev. Thomas Adkins.

Any good?

Hi Wheatman,

I've just spotted your message about Edward & Sarah Goldsmith and their son Jarman. I too am descended from Jarman. He had a son Frederick, born 1819 who married Sarah Elizabeth Gurr. Their daughter Sarah Ann Elizabeth Goldsmith was my gg grandmother. Our particular branch of the family stayed in Ramsgate until WW2 but were eventually forced to leave because of the bombing.

If you'd like to know more, just get in touch,

Thanks very much for trying for me - I'll see if I can come up with something a bit closer. I hope that I'll find her in the end.

Cheers,

Durham / Re: Co Durham History - any book recommendations?
« on: Sunday 30 October 11 17:16 GMT (UK)  »
May I be so bold as to suggest that you actually go and visit the area if possible. It's absolutely stunning! and the people are nice too. You could do a lot worse than B & B in the pub at Edmundbyers, at the foot of the Derwent Reservoir. From there you can drive or walk over to Stanhope and Killhope Museum. Also - go and see Blanchland Wow!

Enjoy!  :)
