Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Help - Maria Blackborow and her many husbands!
« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 13:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Jean

I can't believe it has been over five years since this post and I am not sure as to why I did not reply at the time. Life no doubt got in the way.
I did have a year or so off from the family research as so much else to do but I would love to hear more about the family and the descendants if you have the time.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Sonia

The Common Room / Re: Is Louisa my Elizabeth?
« on: Tuesday 10 November 20 10:23 GMT (UK)  »
Thank You CaroleW, Brigidmac and BumbleB

You have all confirmed my thoughts.

Cecil and Richard were the sons of Louisa the daughter not the mother. This is confirmed in a 1911 Census when Cecil is with a sister of Louisa's and is listed as Nephew.

I can find a birth registration for Cecil but so far have not found one for Richard.

Thank you again

The Common Room / Is Louisa my Elizabeth?
« on: Monday 09 November 20 23:00 GMT (UK)  »
Has anyone ever known an Elizabeth become a Louisa?
I think I have an Elizabeth from one census to a Louisa in another?
I have a family called Portlock in the 1891 Census and when trying to find them in the 1901 Census I found one possible. I can match up two of the children but the mother's name has changed from Elizabeth to Louisa.

In 1891 they are living in St George, Bristol at St Nicholas Terrace.
Elizabeth Portlock Birth Year 1844 Married Occupation Dressmaker
Clarinda Portlock Birth Year 1869 Daughter Single Occupation Dressmaker
Louisa Portlock Birth Year 1871 Daughter Single Occupation Clerk
Ethel Portlock Birth Year 1883 Daughter Single Scholar

In 1901 they are living in Horfield, Bristol at Wellington Crescent.
Louisa Portlock Birth Year 1846 Widow Occupation Dressmaker
Louisa Portlock Birth Year 1871 Daughter Single Occupation Dressmaker
Ethel Portlock Birth Year 1882 Daughter Single
Richard Portlock Birth Year 1892 Son
Cecil Portlock Birth Year 1896 Son

Richard and Cecil are actually the sons of Louisa Portlock born 1871 (the daughter)

So any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Gloucestershire / Re: Whose child is Lawford?
« on: Saturday 31 October 20 19:58 GMT (UK)  »
Rosie 99 It states on the transcription of the 1901 census that George is the father. An assumption I think.

Pennies Yes I had noticed Ada was listed as feeble-minded and yes it is the same Lawford in the Goal Register. Did you notice what he was imprisoned for? Does make you wonder if the" feeble-mindedness" was something that could be inherited especially as he ended up in the Asylum.

Capetown Thank you for that.

Ladyhawk Wow thank you. I searched the baptism records but that one must have slipped by me. So now I know. Thank you for the burial information too.

Thanks, everyone mystery solved.

Gloucestershire / Whose child is Lawford?
« on: Saturday 31 October 20 15:49 GMT (UK)  »
I have a child Lawford Buckley on the 1901 Census listed as grandchild to the head Sarah Buckley and listed as the son to the son of Sarah (George Buckley). As George is not married I looked on the birth registers on the GRO site to find out the Mothers name but it is not listed so I assume Lawford is illegitimate. However when looking at the 1911 Census for George Buckley. He is listed as the head. His sister Ada (also written as Eda and Edon) is living with him and so is Lawford. Now Lawford is listed as Nephew to the head. So it now looks like Lawford is the son of Ada Buckley. I am now more inclined to think Lawford is the son of Ada and in the 1901 Census, it was just assumed that he was the son of George perhaps to save Ada's blushes? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
The census records are from the Frampton Cotterell area of Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism look up in Stoke Gifford Please
« on: Saturday 11 July 15 12:37 BST (UK)  »
UPDATE

Its been over three years since my last post about Emma Merrick and I am still looking for her baptism and parents!!!

I have trawled yet again through the parish registers and found a couple of possibilities but wanted the advice and you all on here  :)

So number one - I found a baptism of an Emma Meret daughter of Anne base born baptised 27/07/1817. Could this be her with the name spelt wrong or wrongly transcribed as it might fit with her Aunt being Love Rodway formerly Love Merrick as Love had a sister called Anne born 1790.However the date is not a good fit as Emma married in 1826 unless this Emma was baptised as a young child in 1817 not as a baby.Emma has had her birth date listed as anything from 1809 to 1811.


Number two - I found a baptism of an Emma Merrett daughter of John Merrett and Maria baptised 17/11/1811 in Almondsbury . I know the name is not Merrick but maybe again a mis spelt name or maybe she was a Merrett not Merrick but then how does that fit with her Aunt being Love Rodway formerly Merrick.Love did have a brother called John but he would have been too young to have a daughter born in 1811.However the area and date fits as Almonsbury was in the chapelry of Northwick which included Almondsbury,Henbury,Aust and Olverston.Emma has been listed as being born in Henbury and Stoke Gifford and they are all within a few miles of each other.

I guess another thought could be that Love was actually her mother not her Aunt as Love was unmarried at the time of Emma's birth but was married to James Rodway in 1813 just two years later.

This is proving to be such a headache and any fresh ideas on where to look and any fresh thoughts would be appreciated
