Staffordshire / Springfield House,Wolverhampton street,Bilston
« on: Thursday 20 September 12 14:10 BST (UK)  »
Good Afternoon
Does anyone know of Springfield House  in Bilston,owned by a Mathew Frost up to the 1870's and then by an Alfred Hickman.It latter became Hickman Park.
  Particularly interested in a John Lowe born 1820 Lapley Staffordshire who lived in the gardener's cottage there.
Would love a photo or some history of the house.Where was the gardener's cottage?
Also if you do have any info on John Lowe,his parents William and Jane from Lapley/Wheaton Eaton who seem to have come to Wolverhampton  in the 1830s,it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

Looking for a missing relative.Charles Henry Tickle born 1865 West Bromwich Staffordshire,England .
On 1901 census England wife Betsy and daughter Martha age 2.Betsey dies 1906 and possible death for daughter Martha 1902,I expected him to be on the 1911 but no.
Only thing I can find is a death 1939 Wallsend NSW parents James and Martha which fits.No passenger records or remarriage,no more kids in Australia.
He may be on the electoral records from 1930 with wife Rose but apart from that where is he?

Staffordshire / Albert Edward Aldridge and his mysterious brides
« on: Friday 06 July 12 13:54 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone have time to have a fresh look at my Albert Aldridge born 1865 s of George and Hannah.
On the 1891 Census he is 27 (born 1864)with wife Emily 23 both born in Walsall and living in Birmingham.Marriage on Freebmd 1889 to Emily Kingdom seems to fit.
However tracking him down on latter census he is with a Kate Maud born London in  1872 and she dies Dec 1913.No marriage found.
His WW1 pension insists on a marriage to first wife dec 22.4.1889 Walsall St John.He then marries a widow Elizabeth Ann Hall 1.1.1915 at Birkenhead who apparently had his daughter Gladys Mary 26.7.1907 in Caernarvon where he was stationed but still with wife Kate Maud.No GRO can find for daughter.They also seem to split up and his younger children with Kate Maud are also listed on his pension forms.
No death found for Emily Aldridge and have found IGI Walsall 1889 marriage to a Samuel Middlebrook.
So how many wives does Albert have?
Can you help?

Ps he supposedly married Kate Maud in 1892.

Warwickshire / re birth Ellen Turner 1873 Birmingham
« on: Saturday 23 June 12 14:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi there ,
I can't find the originally query so am posting the answer here.
I know you have looked for an Ellen Turner d of Thomas William Turner dec upholsterer m 1896,born in Birmingham,but you might want to try London.
Ellen Elizabeth Turner Pancras Dec 1873 1b 157.
It fits with her parents in 1871 at Pancras Somers Town 224/82/15 Johnson St.
Thomas William Turner 31 upholsterer Berne Switzerland
Maria 27 waitress Ballycone Ireland.
He dies Manchester 1839-mar 1881 8d 214
or if he lied about his age 1849-Dec 1872 Marylebone 1a 317.
Can't find a marriage but if GRO right mother's maiden name will be on Ellen's birth certificate.
And Berne civil registrations are availible to browse on Familysearch

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Joseph Hitchcock/Elizabeth Payne marriage
« on: Tuesday 01 May 12 10:34 BST (UK)  »
Hello there,
I'm looking for a marriage between a Joseph Hitchcock and Elizabeth Payne 9.1.1867 Westend by Southampton according to the IGI.
It gives her father George Runsey Payne but not his for some reason,which is what I want to know.
Could some kind person check the details for me.
My Joseph Hitchcock (my great great grandfather's brother)is a retired marine from Axminster who is there on the 1871 census.I'm hoping he married by Great,great gran's sister at Westend.
Thank you for your time .

Norfolk / Charles RIX & Dinah BRICKHAM
« on: Monday 12 March 12 11:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,
I'm looking for the births/parents of Charles Rix (corkcutter)and Dinah Brickham married 19.4.1797 Stepney Spitelfields London.They both seem to be from NORWICH and would be born around 1771 and 1779.
I've got a possible baptism to Henry and Lydia Rix nee Capps 1777 but that doesn't check with his burial in 1824 age 53.
Any help appreciated on them or their parents.
