My head is spinning with this lot and apologies if answer is already buried amongst all the replies, but the maiden name of the mother on the GRO entry for Edward Eeles birth in Newbury, 1840 Ref 6, page 228, is GRUBB.  Courtesy of findmypast.

Thank you for that I did find that out some time ago now … his mother was sister to my ancestor Martha Grubb 

hi, i've only just found this thread. I am investigating my family tree (Frost family) and i have links back to the Wades as Joseph Wade and Martha Grubbs daughter Isabella Caroline Wade married Richard Hall my great, great grandparents i think. Would love to gain some more info.

Thanks

Well then we are related  my 3 x G Grandfather was Frederick Mayo Wade brother to your Isabella Caroline Wade. 

Hoping I might get some help once again with my Newbury family.  I had a lot of help some years ago but have come up with a new question as the only records online are transcripts it’s hard to be sure.

My ancestor John Grubb was born in Newbury in 1783 to Thomas and Martha Grubb … we believe Martha was Martha Grey.  Recently dna has shown a connection to an Elizabeth Grubb who could be John’s sister or half sister as I don’t have her baptism record.  But it appears that Thomas may have been married to another Martha … Martha Woodley in 1777.  Then married Martha Grey in 1782 but it doesn’t give Thomas Grubb’s marital status on the transcript so I don’t know for sure if it’s the same Thomas that married Martha Woodley.  I’ve found a baptism for a Thomas son of Thomas and Martha in 1780  …so that could be the first Martha (Woodley) then there is a baptism in 1778 but no first name just Grubb and parents names.  There is also a death in 1787 for Martha Grubb daughter of Thomas.  On the the 1815 Toomers census I was told that Thomas along with his wife Martha also has an Ann Stillman living with them and she I believe is the daughter of Elizabeth the possible sister of my John as she married James Stillman in 1799 and they have a daughter Ann.

Hope that makes an ounce of sense.  So if anyone has access to any of these records I would appreciate the help as I’m in Australia :-)

Your a legend thanks Dave … we are away from home at the moment in Darwin (Northern Territory of Australia) visiting my husbands sister and her husband.  We will be back home Monday.  So it seems one of the sons was still alive at the death of the father.

I don’t think to date I’ve found any baptisim records for the Belicke’s

Thanks Dave … that’s very interesting that they have Carl as deceased … I need to try and find the marriage between Carl and Paula to determine if this is our Carl Wilhelm Belicke

But I’m guessing the only way they could move forward even if he was alive was to pretend he wasn’t because Carl had married Emma Rau by now and was still alive. 

I think I also found a possible sister for Carl.  Will pop that one up next.

Thank you so very much!
