Dorset / Thomas Henry Shepherd or Sheppard
« on: Wednesday 18 April 12 07:26 BST (UK) »
I have a Thomas Henry Sheppard, or Shepherd marrying May Tudgey in Pokesdown 9th May 1898. I'd like to find him, or his family, on a census but I don't seem able to. Can anyone help please?
May Tudgey came from Hallow, in Worcs. which seems a long way from Pokesdown.

Surrey / A school in Walton or Weybridge 1940s
« on: Thursday 08 March 12 01:02 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know of a school – in Walton or Weybridge, I’m not sure where – for young children where the classroom had long benches for the children to sit in, like the pews in church? I can remember going to such a school, and not liking it, because I didn’t understand the maths being taught. I remember having to push past, and climb over, other children in the row to get to the aisle in order to take my work out to the teacher at the front.
This would be in the 1940s. It could have been a very small private school.

Buckinghamshire / WEBB family from High Wycombe
« on: Sunday 19 February 12 00:51 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone any information about the WEBB family of High Wycombe? I have a James WEBB in Send, in Surrey in 1841 with wife Ann and children Sarah (20), John (15), George (12) Sophia (9) and James (10 months)
In the 1851 W. Surrey census it has James (aged 53) coming from High Wycombe.
And, I have been told the following, which had not been verified at the time of telling, that this James could be the one born 21 Mar 1795, son of William WEBB and Elizabeth PHARAOH. He was married about 1821 at Burnham, Bucks, and his wife was an Ann.
I'm interested in the family in general, but would especially like to know if they had Romany connections.
Thank you for any help.

Worcestershire / Re: William Siddons Young
« on: Sunday 12 February 12 09:30 GMT (UK) »Btw, the published letter from WSY has him in Malvern (22nd July 1895)
It's interesting, but I don't think it helps me establish a link with the YOUNGs of Worcester that I was hoping for. I had wondered if WSY's sister Elizabeth could possibly be the same as another Elizabeth YOUNG baptised the same year in Worcester. A long shot, and no evidence, but I did wonder, as there was meant to be a SIDDONS in the family tree.

Thanks Timbo42. Can't help feeling there could be a connection somehow. But …

Does anyone know if the Geelong/Ballarat WILKS had origins in Worcestershire? I have a Joseph WILKS there who had a son Richard born 1800 in Hallow, Worcs.
