Cheshire / Re: Povar
« on: Monday 15 April 24 10:00 BST (UK)  »
There are other baptisms which give the place name, but they are all preceeded by Do: Do Rush Green, Do Lymm etc.

Those of John Leigh have a single word, and some look more like pavor: Ann in 1711 and Thomas in 1713

May be a different person, but one in 1712 has John son of John Leigh Do broomedge.

A couple of others have John Leigh Buchar (Butcher?), again no Do, as though they were distinguishing between two differnt people.
Mary, daughter of John Leigh Bucher in Jan 1717/8 follows after Thomas son of a Thomas Leigh paver in Oct 1717

Another in 1713 has Margaret d Thomas Leigh Rush Green (no Do but may be short of space) followed next day by Thomas son of John Leigh pavor, which could be a place or occupation.

A lot of trees have Thomas Hubbard, Chelsea Pensioner, who died in 1872.

His birth place is listed as Laughton and wife as Ann Muggleton, although some have Ann Woodcock.

There are some pictures of Edmund Packe in newspapers, although not very clear.

Leicester Chronicle 25th April 1953, when he moved into Dell House, near the hall. Also shows his son, Michael, and daughter, Margaret.

Leicester Chronicle 8th November 1958, with his dog.

Leicester Evening Mail 24th April 1961, following his death.

Something I missed.

Oliva is transcribed on the censuses as Parke, in Stretton Magna but the Hall isn't part of the address, with three children and five servants.

David

P.S. All of the servants give Stretton Hall as their place of work.

The family is on the 1921 images but, for some reason, not transcribed.

No Edmund, but there is an Olivia Packe, wife.

If you insert 'Stretton Magna' as the parish and 'Stretton Hall' in option keywords, it will give 12 results, with more on the main image.

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up please for Printers in Fleet Street circa 1920
« on: Friday 12 April 24 09:37 BST (UK)  »
Checking the 1921 census, quite a lot of people worked for a printing firm in Fleet Street, and all for A. H. Skinner at no. 3.

Alfred Henry Skinner is listed as an employer as was William Edgar Bunney.

One of the employees has what looks like Skinner & Bunny as the employer.

The birth of the Cyril who died in Bath is the same as the one who married Lavinia Ransom in Yorkshire.

They are on the 1939 Register, but I can't see any other Cyril Cottingham or Rye of the correct age.

Annie Rye was living in Prescot in 1921 with her sister Rose Annie Edwards. Cyril is transcribed as Crystal Cottingham.

I have sent a correction message.

Rose, then Dolan formerly Cottingham, married Richard Edwards in Prescot in 1918.

I can't find anything else yet.

I looked at the one in Yorkshire, but he was born there in the same year, and trees have a different family.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: George Wilkinson marriage to Alice: Haverton Hill, County Durham
« on: Tuesday 09 April 24 16:33 BST (UK)  »
Going through the censuses and GRO index, George's mother was Mary Charlton.

John , son of William Wilkinson, and Mary, daughter of George Charlton, married on 10th June 1860 in Stockton.

John was baptised on 3rd June 1838, in Billinghay, Lincolnshire, son of William and Elizabeth.

Trees vary on his mother, but one has Clarke and there is a John, mmn Clarke, in Sleaford District in 1838.
Sleaford is 10 miles from Billinghay and so could be correct.

There is a marriage of William to Elizabeth Clarke in Billinghay on 20th November, 1813, although quite early for John's birth date.
