Edith Lillian (Lily)       b1874
Edgar Levi Howard    b 1876  (Howard on shipping list)

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Beech Farm, Scagglethorpe, near Malton
« on: Monday 30 October 06 02:17 GMT (UK)  »
I would like any information on Beech Farm (or similar name  eg The Beeches) and homestead in the hamlet of Scagglethorpe, which is in the parish of Settrington, & which is not far from Malton.  Does it still exist?  Is the house still standing?  Any suggestions for me to search are welcome.

My family, Cundill/Cundith, occupied the farm for at least 200 years with my branch leaving in 1800.  Apparently the farm was still in the family until it was sold about the 1950s when the last occupants, both bachelors (Cundill) willed the proceeds to the local chapel.

I have researched the parish registers, censuses and wills. I live in Australia and unable to make a trip, these days.   Thank you. Gazania

Completed Census Requests / 1891 census Surrey for Langley, please
« on: Tuesday 17 October 06 00:51 BST (UK)  »
Could someone please lookup the 1891 census for John Langley born c 1833, Camberwell, plasterer, possibly in the Camberwell area.  A likely death for him is in Camberwell district in1896 aged 57.  The entry in the census index may be mispelled but I cannot find him using Ancestry.com at my local Mormon centre.  Another clue may be finding also his youngest child, George, b c 1878, ie about 13 years, b Camberwell.

In the 1871 & 1881 census, John was living with his wife, Jane, and family. But by 1888 according to a will, his wife, Jane, had moved out and in the 1891 census she was living with her future second husband, William Rodford, & calling herself Rodford.

Thank you, Gazania

US Lookup Requests / ALDERMAN, lookup on US census.
« on: Friday 15 September 06 10:14 BST (UK)  »
Could some one please lookup the 1840, or 1850, or 1860 US census for the ALDERMAN family, possibly New York State.  Details are as follows:

James ALDERMAN b 1803 Swanbourne Bucks England and his wife,Sarah, b England.  Their children before 1841 were Elizabeth b1824 and Thomas b 1831 both born Swanbourne, Bucks.

They appear to have migrated to the USA before 1841.  In 1860 they could not be contacted at a New York State address by the solicitor settling an estate.

Thank you, Gazania in Australia

Completed Census Requests / SIMPSON 1891 Census Lookup
« on: Monday 11 September 06 07:11 BST (UK)  »
Could I please have some help with the following:

The Simpson family appears in the 1871 census at Camberwell SRY as follows:

Thomas head aged 29 lab on docks b Colchester ESS
Eliza       wife aged 25                     b Camberwell SRY
Ada        dau aged  1                       b Camberwell SRY

I have not found them on the 1881 census.  I know from a will dated 1888 that they had another daughter Emily and the mother, Eliza, was by then deceased. Could some one please check the 1891 census.  Perhaps they migrated.

Thanks, Gazania

The Common Room / Death Duties records
« on: Thursday 08 June 06 01:47 BST (UK)  »
Has anyone had any personal experience with records for death duties.  For example how much information is there?  Are they worth getting?  (I have the reference for death duties for an 1892 will where 17 relatives were left legacies and I have read the TNA guidelines for death duties records.)

Thanks Gazania

Buckinghamshire Completed Look ups / Re: Anyone related to the "Roads Family of Buckinghamshire"?
« on: Monday 24 April 06 07:29 BST (UK)  »
This is indeed a great site and thank you for posting the address.  However, I have found errors in my direct Alderman line.  Easy enough to happen, I know, when you have several persons born about the same time, and with the same christian name and then disappearing.  In my case, the disappearance was to Australia.   Nevertheless this site is a great reference point.  Gazania.

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Searching for Charlotte WINCH on the 1841 and 1851 censuses
« on: Sunday 02 April 06 02:00 BST (UK)  »
I would like to find Charlotte WINCH (b ca1820-1830, Camberwell) in the 1841 and 1851 census, pls.  She was not with her family at Camberwell & Newington in the 1841 census nor at Camberwell in the 1851 census (after searching the old fashioned way using LDS film). Perhaps her name is misspelled in the indexed 1851 census.

I have found her in the 1861, 1871, 1881 & 1891 census where her occupation was given as a bank shareholder & she was unmarried.  But sometime before 1861, she got lucky & came into this wealth from where is still a mystery.

At her death in 1891, her wealth of £2342, mostly in Bank of Australasia shares, was willed to 17 of her relatives, all poor.  Her parents would be Giles and Mary aka Jane WINCH, a coachman, and all their other children were bapt in the Camberwell St Giles church except Charlotte.  (But nothing further is known about Sarah, bapt 1818).
