Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Wood -Rackenford
« on: Monday 27 July 15 18:59 BST (UK)  »
I can see Maria Wood on 1861 census, aged 67, born rose ash so 1794 looks right. At this time she is a Widow and it looks like Children have carried on family business of being thatchers. Looking at the Maria's Parents wondering if it is Roger Slade and Anne Eastmond, married 11 apr 1771?
Thanks

Thanks, I found the marriage record, I think I found John and Maria on the 1841 census, if right it would suggest date of birth about 1791. Any Birth records of a John Wood 1791 in Rackenford?

I am trying to trace some additional information on John Wood. I have a record of his son Richard Wood, baptized in Rackenford in May 1823. The record has his parents as John Wood and Maria. John is listed as a Thatcher. I cannot find any more records on John and Maria and who there parents were. Any help or advice would be appreciated

I had a look at relationship between Janet Hutchison and David Hutchison/Elizabeth Amos. It looks like from familysearch that the Janet Hutchison married to John Brooks was born 1779/1780, however the Janet Hutchison born to David and Elizabeth was born 1772, so not certain they are the same. I'll do some more digging.

Thanks

Hi Karen,

I'm tracing the Barrhead line, Isaac Brooks->William Brooks->John Brooks. If you have any info you can share it would be appreciated. The challenge I am having is pulling together history on Helen Stirling.

Thanks,

I've been looking at Simeon's parent's John Stembridge and Sarah Burres and trying to trace the next generation. Both I think were born in Crewkerne in 1761. John's father is maybe a Richard Stembridge but not certain. struggling to go much further with Sarah.

best regards

Hi Carole, It is Bridport. Looks like the Stembridge line though may have come form Crewkerne, Somerset a few miles up the road

I am trying to piece together some information on one of my ancestors Simeon Stembridge brn 14 Apr 1790, dies 17 may 1877 both in Birdport. He Married Rebekah Bishop 22 Oct 1810. He had several children with Rebekah and I believe he may have remarried at least twice. I believe his Father was John Stembridge or Stimbridge from Crewekerne. Somerset. Details on Simeon, His Parent or Grandparents would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

I've been looking at Isaacs wife Line.
The IGI shows that Helen Stirling died 11 Dec 1884, mother was Mary Anderson. I looked the cert up, she died in St. Ninians, of paralysis, registered by her widower, Isaac. Mother, Mary Anderson, Agricultural Labourer, no father's name is given.

I think Helen may have been illegitimate and her mother Mary Anderson went on to marry a 'Stirling'

I can find a record of Mary Anderson marrying a James Stirling  30 Jan 1824, 2 years after Helen was born.

Are there any possible records that would verify that Mat marrying James is the same as mother of Helen?

Thanks
