Devon / Re: barnstaple birth c1858
« on: Friday 16 March 07 13:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Daisy,

Thanx for that. Those are my relatives - they married in Martinhoe in May 1858.

On the 1861 census they have a 3yr old daughter Elizabeth.  I've been unable to find an Elizabeth Brooks on the GRO even with varying the spelling of Brooks.

If she's given as 3 yrs in 1861 that would give a rough dob of 1858 so I was wondering if she'd been born before they got married...

The GRO has 3 Elizabeth Jones (I assume if unmarried the child would have her mother's surname) in the Barnstaple district at this time, altho I think the March quarter 1858 would probably be the one to look at as the parents would have been married by the Sept quarter.

Later in life Maria seems to hide her origins for no apparent reason and I wondered if a child born out of wedlock could have been the reason!  Idle curiosity  ;D

That's a shame  :'(  I was hoping that perhaps some info would have been available from parish records.

Can anyone help please?  I'm looking for the birth of a child Elizabeth Jones.  The mother was Maria Jones, the father John Brooks but I'm beginning to think the child was born before the parents married.

I have looked on the GRO and there are an Elizabeth Jones, March quarter 1858, Elizabeth Jones Sept quarter 1858 and Elizabeth Ann Jones Sept quarter 1858 - all Barnstaple which is the correct area. 

Can anyone check any resources to see if either of these is Maria's daughter?

Thanx

Can anyone help me with details of 3 Lynton marriages between 1740 - 1790?

I have the dates for the marriages and bride & grooms names, but would like to know if there are parents details on the register.

If anyone could help I would be very grateful  :)

Hi Jan,

I've emailed some pictures to you.  Seeing as grandad lived in Wallace Road, he probably went either to the Gnoll School, the Melin School or possibly Alderman Davies, the Church school.

The books i've taken the pictures from are Old Neath and District in Pictures, volumes 1, 2 & 3 and also checked the Courier's Memory Lane Neath & Port Talbot (published 2000).

Perhaps somebody else may have other books they can check for you.... :)

my George died in 1918. I think his 3 wives, 9 children and 3 step-children finally saw him off  ;)

it was no 15 mile end row he lived.

Jan,

started looking for you! Any idea which school he attended or if not, do you have any street names where he lived so that maybe i can have an idea from that!
