Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / JUDD - SIGGORY marriage, Hartley Wintney - completed
« on: Thursday 29 September 11 09:33 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help confirm the identity of the father of Sarah JUDD who married James SIGGORY at St John's, Hartley Wintney, on 10 June 1848? I suspect she might be a child of Hezekiah (or variation of that name) Judd who was baptised Esther.

As ever, grateful thanks for any information,

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / JUDD marriages in Hartley Wintney
« on: Saturday 17 September 11 13:51 BST (UK)  »
Two James JUDD were married within a few years of each other in Hartley Wintney reg district - one to Mary Lovelock in 1848 and the other to Mary Ann Hunt in 1854. In the 1861 census the two couples are close neighbours.

Is anyone able to confirm from marriage records who the father was of each of these two James? This would be invaluable in helping place them and their offspring in the correct branches of my Judd family tree.

Thanks for any help given,

Waterhouse

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / CHILDS of Heckfield - corrected
« on: Sunday 21 August 11 18:30 BST (UK)  »
UPDATED DETAILS: Can anyone help me pin down the parentage of my ancestor Dinah CHILD?

Dinah gave her place of birth as Stratfield Saye, c 1774. She married Charles DAVID in Swallowfield in 1795 and died there in 1856 (I have full details of her chidlren, burial etc).

There is a possible link to Heckfield, based mainly on the fact there is a possible sibling, George, whose banns were read in Swallowfield prior to his marriage to Hannah Stevens in Heckfield in 1778. George and Hannah, I believe, subsequently settled in Swallowfield.

I have found no trace of Dinah in the Stratfield Saye records, does anyone have any clues or possible leads in Heckfield or elsewhere?

Sincere thanks for any help given,
Waterhouse

Thanks for the kind reply Roger, but there is an anomaly in the marriage of Robert Ades. You say this was to Ann Marie Jane Tress, but the information from Lesley (above) shows that the bride's surname was Niblett; subsequently I found this name given for the marriage in records, too.

Do you have any confirmation that the bride was a Tress rather than a Niblett? In further research (see my earlier post above), I did find a link between the Niblett and Tress families.

Kind regards

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Faversham - BENSTEAD - completed
« on: Tuesday 12 April 11 20:43 BST (UK)  »
My 3x great grandparents William Hollett and Catherine BENSTEAD were married in Faversham on 14 October 1817. The records show that Catherine was a widow.

Can anybody discover who she married first and, from that, what her maiden name was? She died in May 1836 in Throwley, having married again after William's death. Her third husband was John Moon. Her approximate year of birth was 1794.

The only Benstead I've been able to find who married a Catherine was Abraham, in Faversham in 1781, but this Catherine (nee Crouch) would have been too old to have borne children to William Hollett.

Any help breaking down this long-standing brick wall would be very gratefully received.

A correction to my last post. Martha Bates, nee Tress, was the daughter of John Tress, son of Francis Tress (died 1727) of Sandhurst Kent. John's nephew, Francis Tress married Charlotte Ades - the couple had no children.

Might the link be traced back through the Ades line rather than the Niblett?

Thanks for the help Omega and Lesley.

The Niblett marriage looks like real progress, as a Benjamin Niblett married Sarah Bates - whose mother was Martha Tress, daughter of Francis Tress of Bodiam - in Marylebone in 1799.

But that is where things stop for the moment. The parents of Ann Maria Jane Niblett are Harry Niblett and Elizabeth (nee Starr) who married in Dorking in 1773.

This suggests Ann and Benjamin could be brother and sister, or possibly niece and uncle.

But this still makes her closest link to the Tress family her sister-in-law's mother or her uncle's wife's mother.

The search continues, but it does feel more positive now.
