Gloucestershire / Louisa Westmacott? - Stroud ?
« on: Sunday 01 February 15 12:01 GMT (UK) »
I am trying clear up a brick wall regarding a Louisa Westmacott b 1828/29 (unsure) who married John Clayfield of Horsley in Stroud Register Office in 1851 and died in Australia 1894
There is 1 Louisa Westmacott on IGI but her birthdate/christening makes her 14 at marriage
Louisa Margaret Westmacott
Australia, Births and Baptisms, 1792-1981
birth:
4 August 1837
christening:
2 September 1837
ST PHILIPS, SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA
residence:
1837
New South Wales, Australia
father:
Robt Marsh Westmacott
mother:
Louisa Marian
I have a marriage record (see below) and yes I will send away for it as soon as I organise a safe payment method.
This marriage record lists her name as Wesmincot and IGI list her as Wennicot
I read in Phillimores Gloucester Notes series that even Shakespeare had trouble with the Gloucestershire dialect! A discussion was had how Woodmancote is/was pronounced Wincott in one of the Bards works. So I don't even know if it was Westmacott.
Only that in the SA BDM records does it say Westmacott ( apart from the mis-spelt Wistmacott for Maria C(l)ayfield
The 4 children they had in Horsley were listed as Mothers Name Westmancote x 2 , Westmancot x 1 and Westmancott x 1
Hope I haven't been a pain and I hope I haven't confused people.
Much appreciation in advance
