Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Marriage - HIGGS - Oakley?
« on: Wednesday 01 April 09 22:28 BST (UK)  »
After looking again at my research I discover that I need help looking up the marriage of a William Higgs to Elizabeth in about 1797-99 (in Oakley??). They then settled in Oakley and christened a child at Oakley in Dec 1799.
According to the 1841 census William was not born in Buckinghamshire but Elizabeth was.  For some years I have mistakenly thought that a couple of the same names who married in Drayton Parslow in 1794 were 'mine', but I now find this to be untrue.
Any help much appreciated.
Regards

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Ellis marriage
« on: Friday 28 March 08 10:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all
This is fantastic! I am away for a day and I return to find all this information.  I did have William the younger on my database as being from Lambeth but had not convinced myself that this was the saqme William who was mentioned in the 1841 census as the son of William and Lucy. Having looked again I now think that on the balance of probabilities they have to be  one and the same.
Maybe I now need to  see the original entry in the Lambeth and Hulverstreet prs to see whether there is any additional info about William and Lucy. Eg Was Lucy a spinster when married,etc.
AlisonT ,we must have William from Kings Lynn as our common ancestor. It would be good to compare trees.
Many thanks again to you all
Regards
Jeff

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Ellis marriage
« on: Wednesday 26 March 08 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage of William Ellis, a Tailor,  who was born in Kings Lynn in 1801 to a 'Lucy'. She was born in Stoke Talmage in about 1795. They settled in Tetsworth. Their first child was born in either 1820 or 1825. I am hoping that they were married in Stoke Talmage or Tetsworth. I would be grateful for any help or advice.
Many thanks in anticipation

 :-[Thank you Val. You are quite right. When I looked at my records  I found that I had mixed up the generations. I have already looked at the OPR for young Thomas birth. This is stated as 19 June 1803 not 1801 but that is a small point.  I had not picked up on the Falkirk Banns announcement so thank you as well for that. I also have the OPR birth for William in 1805.

I have found the birth of a Thomas Neilson in Larbert in 1771 but none in Bothkennar. The only 2 others were St Ninians and Falkirk)
I have 3 Janet Fergussons born in Falkirk 1769 1773 and 1781 but no way of telling which one is correct  for me.
Jumping to wrong conclusions is all too easy so I am seeking more concrete data than I now have.  Do you have any ideas where to look?
Many thanks again

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Liverpool Pilot

Hi Carole
Many thanks for that.
I did have 2 husbands but not the 3rd!
I was always told that the Willers were of German extraction but I am having great difficulty finding out much about them - hence the plea for help.

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Liverpool Pilot
« on: Tuesday 20 November 07 18:44 GMT (UK)  »
My ancestor, George WILLER was born in Liverpool and married in 1842 at Liverpool 'Parish Church'. The marriage cert states that his father was David Willer, a Pilot.
I cannot find any trace of David Willer on ancestry.co.uk and wodered if someone could help me with a look up on the records of the Mersey Pilots.  It might give me a kick start to help finding more about him.
Thank you

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Thomas H Johnson
« on: Tuesday 13 November 07 21:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi jj
Sorry about the mix up with threads.
Thomas Johnson's birth cert corresponds with the Canadian Army attestation document (dob 13/2/1878 not July as in IGI)
Possibly the next step is to pay for more info from the army records. What do you think?
Regards
