Hi Abbeyfield,

Thanks for that information - very interesting.

I'm still no nearer finding the origins of my Bridget Mannix, but still hoping.

Thanks,
Diane

Hi,

I wondered if anyone had access to the parish records of Worcester.

I have a John Green (who was born in Aylestone, Leicestershire) who married an Ann of Worcestershire.

They had several children at Lindridge, but I have just discovered two earlier children, John born in Claines in 1819 and another, Mary Ann, who may have been born in Claines in 1813, or St Helen Worcester in 1816 (IGI).

The IGI gives two marriages between a John and Ann:
John m Ann Burford, 1815  - St Peter Worcester
John m Ann Dorrell, 1815 - Claines

There weren't any pre 1813 in Claines.

I've been struggling with this line for ages (Green being such a common name).  I'm not sure how near to Worcester Claines is (John on 61 census gave Claines as place of birth, but in 51 said Worcester City, and in 71 said St Oswald's Worcester!!)

On the actual marriage records it may say that John was from Leicestershire, which will pinpoint it.

Thank you if you can help, or give advice.   

Regards,
Diane

Thanks for that Gogogadgetlegs. 

It does seem likely that is the family. But I cannot locate Catherine (Kate) who would be about 6.

I need the 41 census to find out more about the elusive Thomas senior .... so if there is anyone who can help?....

Thanks again,
Diane

No, I've since had access to the 51 census and still been unable to find them myself. 

Thanks anyway,
Diane

Hi,

I've just found out that I've been chasing a wrong lead  .

Who I need to find is a Thomas Harding, who according to censuses was born in Bilton, Warwickshire in about 1786 - 1788.

He later married an Ann (of Walcote, Leics) and they had a couple of children in Hilmorton, warwickshire (George, 1811 and Thomas, 1814) before moving to Walcote where they had several more children.

Does anyone have access to the parish registers for Bilton or Hilmorton, which I believe are both in the Rugby area, who could lookup the birth of Thomas, and/or the marriage to Ann.  (I cannot find their marriage in Walcote).

Thank you very much,
Diane
