I really need some help to further my research on my 3xgt.grandfather George Green.

I have his marriage in 1830 to Ann Lweington nee Kitchiner, a widow.

I have him in 1841 living in Clifton with several children, including my 2x gt.grandfather William.

No trace on 1851 in Clifton. Can only assume they had both died between census as I found 2 of the children living with relations in receipt of parish relief.

I have been told the poor relief papers have been destroyed.

In the same village there was also a Samuel Green. This family had named one of their sons Warner. This appears to be a family name as my gt.grandfather also called one of his sons it.

As I am getting nowhere finding Georges place of birth and parents any help  would be gratefully received

The Clifton registers have nothing. I have traced Ann to Ampthill.

But George is a different story. Thanks to stirling help by Criggy some areas have been crossed off. But on looking at the entry in 1851 for Samuel he has Southill for his place of birth, in 1861 Stanford.

I am hoping they may be brothers and if Samuels birth could be found Georges could also be there, a long shot but worth a go.

Also as Samuel had a farm employing several men wondered if a will could be located. Have looked online, no leads.

Anyone that could offer advice, a look up in the record office or anything would be wonderful.

 One of my gt.grandfathers sisters was called Ursula Gaden, b. May 1873 in Burmington, Warwickshire

Her mother Lucy died in 1874, father Amos in 1876. Amos had married a Martha Williams, just three months before he died, he was only 25. Martha  had the children put into Ashley Down orphan house in Bristol. When my gt.grandfathers birth certificate was seen to show that he was born only 7 months into the marriage, he was refused admission and sent to the workhouse, at just 5

Ursula was admitted in November 1876 and dismissed in December 1890 into service with a Mrs. Davies of Under Hill House, Near Bridgend Glamorgan.

An 1891 entry on the Wales census is the only evidence I have found past that time.

I have searched the index's for a marriage or death and found nothing.

The spelling of Gaden is extremely variable. My maiden name is Geden. So basically anything goes.


Name:    Gaden, Wrgila Luna
Age in 1891:    17 
Relation:    Servant 
Gender:    Female 
Where Born:    Shipstone, Warwickshire
     
Civil parish:    Glyncorrwg 
Ecclesiastical parish:    Glyn corwg 
Town:     
County:    Glamorgan 
     
Source information:    RG12/4464
Registration district:    Neath 
Sub registration district:    Ystradvelltey 
ED, institution, or vessel:    9 
Folio:    103 
Page:    49

Interestingly everything I have on Ursula, her baptism, birth cert and entries for Ashley Down, never mention a middle name. The writing is so bad on this census I wonder if she took to using her mother Lucy's name as a middle name.

Her sister Sarah Ann left Ashley Down in 1891 and went briefly into service in Bristol, before returning to Burmington, where she subsequently had an illegitimate child in 1899 in the workhouse.

Ursula is a dead end.

Any information or help anyone can give me would be gratefully accepted.


I found an entry 1901 census of an Ursula Bunting and thought eureka, unfortunately when checking the marriage to William found the maiden name to be Hone. I then found a birth entry for an Ursula Hone, what a coincedence!!

I have a Sheldrick line starting with my grandad Cecil Edwin who was born in Queens Rd., Upper Norwood 1907.

I would like to know what county this would come under please.

Trying to track where the family originated from.

Thanks Diane

Can anyone tell me please whether the medal cards available to download online include the navy.

I have my grandads medals from ww1 but when I searched for his medal card there was nothing. I've checked and 99% of G has been put on.

Or isn't there any such thing for the Navy??

Thanks Diane

Hope this works for you all.
