I wonder if any of you history detectives can help me.
I have a newspaper report from the 'News of The World' – 9 March 1856 about the Murder of  William Hales who was a Gamekeeper to Sir John Tyssen Tyrell (1795-1877, 2nd Bt, MP for Essex North).

The brothers - James Thurgood, William Thurgood and Thomas Thurgood, with James Guiver, were charged at the Chelmsford Assizes with the wilful murder of William Hales at Duke’s Wood,

I am trying to establish that this William Hales is the same as William F Hales (b. abt 1813 in Broomfield, Essex) who
married Eliza (b. abt 1814 in Boreham, Essex).
According to his sons’, George H Hales (Snr) (b. abt 1842 in Boreham, Essex) marriage in 1869 to Elizabeth Revel, His father is shown as a Gamekeeper.

I am not related to family, but am trying to work out the family of Photographer - George Henry Hales (b. abt 1871 in Leyton, Essex) whose father was George H Hales (Snr).

Any leads or information welcomed.

The son of widow - Emma Green (born: abt 1844 in Birmingham, Warwickshire). He and 2 brothers and 1 sister are at 49 Great Charles Street, Birmingham, Warwickshire (1891).

I have a Jane Thwaites resident at Rushmere, St. Vincent Road, Clacton-on-Sea, Essex in 1913.

I am researching Essex Photographers and Harry Augustine Worts   (b:1861 in Harwich, Essex), a  Retired Chemist is resident at the same address in 1911. He is married to Edith Williams (*Thwaites)   (b:1866 in Stone, Kent).
*There is mention that Edith added the 'Thwaites' surname and her father may have married twice?

I presume Jane and Edith are related in some way, but can fiind nothing about the Thwaites Family, or why she is resident at the same address.

Would appreciate any info or leads to them.

I am researching Essex Photographers and have a Thomas William Elisha Gilbert Stringer (b. 1865 in Steyning, Sussex - d. 3 Feb 1950 in St Martins Hill, Lewes, Canterbury) known as Gilbert Stringer, he was a Photographer in Colchester, Essex (from circa 1890).

I am looking for assistance in finding his family.
I believe his father was James Stringer (b. 30 Mar 1837 in Westminster, St James, Middlesex – Death at Sea ?) married on 16 Feb 1858 to
Mahala Gilbert (b. 1838 in Arundel, Sussex – d. Apr 1870 in Sussex).
As well as Thomas, they seemed to have had 4 other children:

Laura Charlotte Agnes Caroline Stringer (b.19 Feb 1859 in Newhaven, Sussex – d. 28 Nov 1934 in Christchurch, Canterbury, N Z)
Henry James Sidney Gilbert Stringer (b. 4 Aug 1861 in Newhaven, Sussex – d. 1909 in Hampshire)
Sidney George Thomas Elias Gilbert Stringer (b. 28 Oct 1862 in Seaford, Sussex – d. 2 Feb 1934 in Karori, Wellington, New Zealand)
Edwin James Gilbert Stringer (b. 7 Jun 1869 in Newhaven, Sussex – d. 24 Jan 1942 ?)

I can find nothing about the parents or the children’s early years and most of them seem to have ended up in New Zealand (cannot find any emigration details).

I also have a problem with Mahala Gilbert. I think her parents were Thomas Gilbert (b. abt 1811 in Sussex) and Charlotte Humphrey (b. abt 1811 in Arundel, Sussex) and her sister was Charlotte Gilbert    (b. abt 1834 in Arundel, Sussex).
Charlotte Humphrey is shown as a widow in Brighton in 1881 with a visitor Caroline H. Paget.
Later I have a ‘Caroline Henriette Paget Gilbert Stringer’, but don’t know who this person married in the Gilbert Stringer family.
Any assistance most welcome
 

I would be grateful for any assistance with the following.
I am trying to find details of James Gill (b. 1771 in Dunsfold, Surrey) married to Elizabeth Ede (b. 1776 in Dunsfold,
Surrey – possibly died 1843 in Hampshire, Sussex).
The 1841 census has him as a Blacksmith at Lodsworth Street, Easebourne, Lodsworth.

I have found a reference from Notes for a History of Lodsworth by Wilfrid Lamb M.A.
“The Hollist Arms was remarkable in having four generations of the same family as licensees.
James Gill held the licence in 1820. He died in 1829, when his wife, Elisabeth carried on until 1842, and then Richard Gill, son of James and Elisabeth, took over. Later on, James, son of Richard Gill, became landlord. Later still, Frederick, his son followed as licensee. The last two landlords were also blacksmiths and farriers, having their forge next to the Inn”.

There seems to be a mistake regarding his death ‘in 1829’ ? The other information seems correct.
His son Richard Gill (b. abt 1814 in Lodsworth, Sussex – d. 1885 in Hampshire, Sussex) is shown as a Blacksmith (1841 – 1861) and as an Inn Keeper (The Hollist Arms Inn – 1871). He married Ruth Dobison and they did have a son named James (Blacksmith and Inn Keeper). I can’t find ‘Frederick, his son’ at present.

Any information on the Gill Family in Easebourne, Lodsworth and The Hollist Arms appreciated.
