Gloucestershire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Hickes from Stone lookup

I have not been able to find anything on Robert and Mary Hickes or been able to verify if the Thomas bpt 17 June 1768 is my ancestor...I'm researching from Australia and so rely on what I can find online.  Any suggestions where I might be able to get more information?  I found Scribes Alcove was a good site and this gave me the info posted above but I have not been able to get anything else from there.

Thank you Alf, the Thomas buried 26 Jan 1803 is the 2nd youngest child, the other Thomas, twin of Edward belongs to the other family I mentioned.

I will check on the details of Robert and Mary and see what they bring me!   :)

Thanks for your reply Debbie, I've tried Parish Records too with no success at this stage.   :'(

Gloucestershire Completed Lookup Requests / Hickes from Stone lookup

I'm trying to find the parents of Thomas Hickes (my g-g-g-g-grandfather) married to Susannah Elizabeth Hupsman on 19 Dec 1786.
Thomas and Suzannah had 10 children:
Frederick bapt 19 Dec 1787 @ Stone
Augustus Thomas bapt 6 Aug 1789 "
Harriet bapt 29 Jul 1790 "
Suzannah Elizabeth bapt 22 Mar 1792 "
Baptist William bapt 16 Aug 1793 "
Henry bapt 27 Aug 1795 "
John Cox bapt 24 Sept 1797 "
Caroline bapt 3 Jul 1801 "
Thomas bapt 9 Nov 1802 "
and Thomas bapt 26 Feb 1806

My g-g-g-grandfather was the youngest (Thomas) and although I have not found a death cert I assume Thomas (1802) died in infancy.  To make the search even harder there seems to be another family of Hickes from Gloustershire who bears the name of Thomas (also 1806) who became a Surgeon and whose father was also Thomas.  My Thomas became the Surveyor of Roads and County Bridges in Cornwall.

If anyone is able to help me on this I would greatly appreciate it

Cornwall Lookup Requests / History of homes in Cornwall - look up request

Hello

I wonder if there is a website that gives the history of homes in the Cornwall area.  My g-g-grandfather Edward Hickes lived at 16 Prospect Place in Truro in the 1851 Census, along with his brothers Thomas James, Frank and Weston and his parents Thomas (Surveyor of roads and county bridges) and Grace Cox Hickes nee Blee.  By the 1861, Grace had died (1857) and Thomas had remarried to Emma Blee nee Osler, they were now living in 7 Prospect Place, Truro and there is no mention of Frank or Weston nor can I find any other reference to these boys again.  I am wondering if there may have been a fire at their 1st address or perhaps there was an epedemic of some kind during these days as it seems strange that they would live in the same street - could the street numbers have been changed for some reason?  Thomas retired to Elm Cottage on Truro - Vean - Road and spent out the rest of his days here some 20 yrs, the property then was occupied by his son Thomas James and his family.  I wonder if any of these properties still exist?
If anyone can enlighten me on this mystery I would very much appreciate it as I'm doing research from Australia.

To add to the mystery, I have just found the family listed in the 1841 Cencus as Hicks living at No 7...so they have gone from no 7 to 16 and back again to 7???
