Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Isaac Nichols born Birmingham 1800-1805

« on: Friday 19 August 16 02:29 BST (UK) »

Please can anyone help with locating my ancetors, the parents of this man Isaac Nichols (born 1800-1805) who was in Rochdale, Lancashire by 1829.
He first (possibly previous marriage as his status was not recorded) married 1830, no clues there.
Second marriage 1850 states father to be Isaac Nicholes nail maker
Third marriage 1859 no father stated.

I suspect that he was illegitimate and his grandfather was likely Isaac.
He always states Birmingham as his place of birth, the age varies a little, and he was in the metal trades - mechanic/boiler maker.
The spelling of his surname also varies a lot as he was illiterate.

This has been a brick wall for many years, and would love to find his ancestors,
thanks for any help,
cheers,

Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Hampton Lucy lookup for Nichols 1812+

« on: Friday 19 August 16 02:18 BST (UK) »

I have a John Nichols (born abt 1779) and wife Mary (born about 1780)

Petty sessions papers
Examination of John Nicholls, Alveston, as to his settlement: Wife Mary,
Mary Ann (10).
Ref No ER10/3/367
Date made 3 Nov 1826
'He was married in the Parish Church of Hampton Lucy to his present Wife named Mary by whom he has one child Mary Ann about 10 years old.'

1841 census at Alveston with their daughter, both parents died before 1851.

Wondering if anyone would be able to find their marriage at Hampton Lucy and the baptism of daughter Mary Ann circa 1816/1817 and any other children please?

Kirkcudbrightshire / tracing Roman Catholic illegimate child b 1854

« on: Saturday 16 January 16 23:25 GMT (UK) »

G'day from OZ, I am helping a friend with her family history and haven't done a great deal of Scottish genealogy, so hoping to get some suggestions.

I have a (not lawful) baptism for David Murphy at St Mary Saltcoats 23 May 1855 to parents David Murphy and Ellen Hart, born 15 June 1854 Kirkintilloch, sponsor Mary Savage.

David's marriage at Dumfries 1876 has mother Ellen Jane Hart domestic servant, no father recorded.
His death 1929 (occupation draper master) has father David Murphy, draper (deceased), and mother Ellen Hart (deceased).

On his mother Hellen Jane Hart's marriage to William McDowall in 1871, her father is Hart, labourer, and mother Mary Savage.

1871 census has Helen McDowal M 34 Hawker born Ireland, David Murphy 16 hawker born Kirkintilloch.

Not found anything on earlier censuses.

I suspect that the father is perhaps David Murphy born 1836, father Bernard Murphy living at Airdrie (10 miles from Kirkintilloch) in 51 and 61 and later went to America with his wife and children.

My question is, where to look for any evidence to help identify the father David Murphy.

Thanks,
Sharon
