Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Brinklow Walker Request
« on: Monday 15 June 20 16:51 BST (UK) »
Still at a loss as to when James Walker died. Can't seem to find any records that would tally up, which is doubly frustrating as it's during a period covered by the GRO records.
He's in the census in 1841, but not in 1851, but is wife is only listed as widowed in 1861 so must have died at some point in those 20 years, but just can't seem to find any record of it. He's likely to be somewhere between about 35-55 during that period.
In 1841 he's living in Brinklow, working as a Tallow Chandler/Labourer.
In 1851, Mary is now the head of the household, living in Brinklow and working as a dressmaker, although still listed as married, but no sign of James.
In 1861, Mary is lodging with William Mitchell and is now listed as Widowed.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks Julie - Yes that looks right and the death seems to tally with the other facts I've found - thank you!
Also that makes sense with their son William living with the Thorps.
Not sure what you mean about the baptisms...
I have Matthew's baptism, 1837 in the parish of the Holy Trinity, Coventry.
and Williams, 1842 in the parish of the Holy Trinity St Peters Chapel, county of Warwick (but believe that's in Coventry)
The 1794 date I think relates to a different William Stanley. The facts I've been able to prove are William dying in 1847, aged 41, putting his DOB around 1806.

The GRO confirms that Matthew's mothers maiden name was "Gardener"
I also found a transcription from a gravestone which read:
"Sacred to the memory of WILLIAM STANLEY who died Dec 14th 1847 aged 41 years.
Also of MARY wife of the above who died April 2, 1850 aged 44 years."
Problem is, I can't seem to find any record of her death, or their marriage (that would tie in with their DOBs as the only Stanley/Gardner marriage I can seem to find is 1815 which can't be right).

Found the will on FindMyPast. Super interesting to see - thanks for the recommendation of that!
It only seems to mention his wife - Mary, although I know they had a son - Matthew Stanley.
Still struggling to find any decent links to William's parents.

Europe / Italian/Brazillian family history (PIAZZON)
« on: Wednesday 10 June 20 14:25 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Hoping for some help in tracking down some records for my Italian family. I have a few details but lots of gaps at the moment and struggling to find any additional information.
Pietro Piazzon (1929-1992). Born province of Padova but died in UK.
His dad was Giovanni Piazzon I believe. Apparently murdered by the fascists in 1935. Can't find any records of his death or birth. He was apparently married to Maria Sorgato (1898-1968).
I have also heard a story that Giovanni went with his dad and brothers to Brazil and one of the brothers stayed there.
Any help with any of these elements would be hugely appreciated.

Finally managed to get hold of the death certificates and confident it's the former (Born c.1806, died aged 41 in 1847).
Struggling to find a birth record, or marriage details that would tally up with the dates.
Also struggling to find his parents.
Any help would be greatfully received.

Hi, sorry for the slow reply.
Just not sure on the dates. Assuming we have the right John Walker, then the record of his death seems pretty certain. The book is very clear that he died in 1833, and it states his death as being 73. I can't image in those days him having lived to have been much older than that, which as noted would mean he was born around 1760.
Based on the below, that would mean he was married at 5?
Also unless he had another brother called John your dates below have his baptism in 1767?
Unless we're saying that John Walker and Mary Woodhouse are Johns parents and his grandparents are John and Mary Walker?

Looks like a John Walker was baptised on the 20th April 1760 in Fillongley, parents William and Sarah Walker. That's the only record remotely close to Brinklow that I can find that would tie in with those dates.
There is another John Walker baptised on the 23/11/1760 in Brailes, Warwickshire, parents John and Elizabeth
