Armed Forces / 3rd Dragoon Guards - troops and divisions
« on: Thursday 18 January 24 03:04 GMT (UK) »
My g-g-Grandfather Michael Gaugharty was in the 3rd Dragoon Guards from October 1828 to May 1853. I have his Army Records and his number is given as 284. I have the movements of the Regiment which were listed on an old post here, but it refers to 'a troop' and '1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions'. Is there any way I can discover which troop/division he was in? His Army Records do not provide this information.

Gloucestershire / Re: Marriage at St Mary Redcliff
« on: Monday 02 May 22 03:43 BST (UK) »The PR for St Mary Redcliffe shows a marriage on 8th August 1820 (John Walter and Ann Chipper), the following entry is on the 14th August 1820 (John Bendel and Susanna Bryant). Nothing on the 10th.
Many thanks for checking this for me.

« on: Monday 02 May 22 03:42 BST (UK) »Suspect the “many others” have just copied it from other trees
Nothing on Family Search but I wonder if some “assumptions” have been made.
1841 entry has children aged between 1 - 20yrs old. The 1yr old -Maria - shows mmn as Turner. 3yr old Caroline has no mmn so was illegitimate
Mary could be a second wife
Maria is not with Henry & Mary in 1851 but is living with George & Fanny Prigg & shown as niece.
Many thanks. I think some researchers have just copied from the tree of others without checking sources. It often happens. The Maria with the Prigg family is a different one. In 1851 she was living with her married sister Martha Withers.

Gloucestershire / Marriage at St Mary Redcliff
« on: Sunday 01 May 22 11:29 BST (UK) »
I am trying to confirm a marriage between Henry Davis and Mary Turner on or about the 10th August 1820. Many others researching this family have this date but no one has been able to produce the actual record. I am wondering if anyone who might have access to the parish records could check for me.
Many thanks
Mary

The Common Room / Re: The Bloody Assizes of 1685 - are many of the victims' names known?

Thanks Keith
There is a great deal about Hester, and a particularly good account by Pamela Sharp. Hester had a long time relationship with the Hon George Booth MP but they never married. I think she preferred to be her own woman!
Cheers

Hi Keith
Thank you very much for your reply. I am currently writing the story of Azariah for my family so have most information but a couple of the points were new to me, so very helpful.
His father was a non conformist minister and the family had a lace making and trading business in Dorset, His sister Hester was a successful and astute business woman in London - very unusual for that time - and then his brother Nathaniel, who was based in Bristol, was, as far as I can gather, trading with the West Indies. So yes, fascinating characters. Just wish Azariah hadn't got involved in slave plantations though.
Kind Regards
Mary

Hi Keith
I've just come across your post so don't know if it's still relevant. I would appreciate it if you could check the name Azariah Pinney for me please. I have a note with Wigfield as the source but I would like to confirm it. It concerns Azariah leaving Bristol on the Rose Pink. (He had been pardoned)
Many thanks
Mary

This doubling up of Kingswood particularly is going to need some sorting out but many thanks for clarifying that for me.
