Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Eldersfield Burial Lookup Request
« on: Saturday 02 May 09 17:29 BST (UK)  »
Hello,  I am hoping to find Susanna(h) HALSEY, wife of William Thomas HALSEY.  I think he was buried in Eldersfield on 27 Dec 1848 (need a confirmation on that), but I have no info on Susannah.  I haven't had any luck finding her on a census, so I presume she died before 1841,  I can't find her through the BMD, which leads me to believe she died before 1837.  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance :-)

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: WALKLETT baptism lookup request

I don't know if this is *my* WALKLETT lot.

James BLISS's first wife Elizabeth WALKLETT was buried 22 Dec 1813, age 28.  So her DOB would be c. 1785.

His 2nd wife, Sarah WALKLETT died in 1849.  I haven't ordered the death cert. yet, but I found the GRO index info as March Quarter, vol 16 pg 71; she was buried 5 Jan 1849, age 60.  This would place here DOB c. 1789.

So my Sarah and Elizabeth combo makes Elizabeth older than Sarah.

Also, the name Francis is never repeated in James and Sarah's family.

I've come to a dead end and hope someone out there can help me.  I have a James BLISS who married first Elizabeth WALKLETT 7 Oct 1812 at St. Mary Magdalene, Oxford; and second Sarah WALKLETT 18 Sep 1815 at St. Peter Le Bailey, Oxford.  I wonder if Sarah and Elizabeth were sisters?

James and Sarah's daughter, Sarah Jane BLISS also married a WALKLETT (Frances).

Frances and Sarah Jane WALKLETT's  daughter, Sarah, also married another WALKLETT (John Alfred).  Their other daugher, Emily, married Thomas William WALKLETT.

James and Sarah's daughter, Elizabeth Walklett BLISS (I would guess named after James' first wife/Sarah's sister), married William HOSIER.

James and Sarah's daughter, Emma, married James HOSIER

William HOSIER and James HOSIER were brothers, sons of William and Martha (SUCH) HOSIER

My line is through Emma BLISS and James HOSIER, and I'm working on Emma's family: BLISS and WALKLETT.

Thank you in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated!

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Barrow Lookup Request - WOODCOCK
« on: Friday 12 December 08 04:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello!

Trying to track down my 4 x Great grandmother's parentage.  Her maiden name was Jemima or Jamima WOODOCK.  She was born about 1788.  According to census material, she was born in "Barrow", although at the time of the census she was living in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.    She married James Newstead BOYCE 13 Sep 1809 at St. Nicolas, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.  Since I don't know of any "Barrow" in Norfolk, I thought I'd take a stab in the dark and check out Suffolk.

Any help would be appreciated, and thank you in advance for your time!

Oh, I am always interested to here more about what goes on in this family, believe me!  Do you have any information regarding your Francis Newstead Boyce's mother?

It seems to be a common thread in this family.

I mentioned that I believe I found my NEWSTEAD lot in Cromer.  The family that intrigues me is:

William & Elizabeth NEWSTEAD.  They had the following children all christened in Cromer:

Elizabeth, chr: 25 Sep 1763
Mary, chr: 25 Mar 1766
Sarah, chr:  22 Mar 1767
Martha, chr: 14 Mar 1772
             bur: 17 Mar 1772
Susanna, chr: 14 Mar 1772
             bur:  17 Mar 1772
Susanna, born 10 Jun 1773 & chr: 4 Jul 1773
William, chr 14 Jul 1776
James, born 13 May 1780 & chr: 15 May 1780

According to a census (I forget which one) James Newstead Boyce (who married Jemima WOODCOCK) was born in Cromer 1785.

The only christening record I've found that fits his age is James Newstead, illigitimate son of Mary Newstead, christened 4 Dec 1785 in Calthorpe.

I can NOT find a marriage for Mary Newstead to a Boyce.  However, Mary's older sister Elizabeth married John BOICE 1 Feb 1786 in Cromer (they were living in Overstrand at the time of their marriage). 

Elizabeth and John had a son, named him Newstead James BOYCE, born 29 Aug 1786 and christened 3 Sep 1786, in Cromer.  So now I'm wondering if I've been barking up the wrong tree with this illegitimate son of Mary christened in Calthorpe, and my James Newstead Boyce is really Newstead James Boyce, s/o John and Elizabeth?

So technically, our family surname should be BOYCE instead of NEWSTEAD, but thanks to our Nathaniel, this is not the case.

Nathaniel owes me an appology, as he has made this journey across this particular branch quite difficult.  (sigh)

Never mind, I believe I have found my NEWSTEAD clan in Cromer.  Although, once again I find a NEWSTEAD BOICE connection...

I also find it interesting that you found another entry for a NEWSTEAD BOYCE marriage.  I am curious if Thomas NEWSTEAD who married Elizabeth BOYCE in 1767, aren't possibly brother and sister to _______ BOYCE and Mary NEWSTEAD.  That sure would be a nice clue to who Mary's parents are...
