The Common Room / Re: Jailbird Sir & Lady Wood -real or not?
« on: Sunday 04 December 11 15:27 GMT (UK) »
Thank you Valda for your post - no previous generation appears to have been called sir & I have no evidence of their 'son' other than on the will extracts of Sarah Wood 1816 (a sister for 'Sir' Thomas) where John Frederick Francis Wood is mentioned next to Thomas Wood's certain daughter Ann Maria.
Thank you mshrmh for your post too - please excuse my error, I thought I had the detail of Sir Thomas & Lady Sarah Wood of Low Hall, South Cave, from a pamplett about a church, but it is infact from a 33 page sketch of their grandson written in the early 1900s by their gt gd son.
Is this looking very suspicious? He says 'Ann Maria was the only daughter of Sir Thomas & Lady Wood of Low Hall, Yorkshire'. I have found Sarah Wood bn 1779 Portsmouth living with Ann Maria Allsop (definitely Ann Maria Watts) in 1861 Birmingham & that led to finding Sarah in 1851 in Handsworth, Birmingham. She does not call herself 'Lady'. However, I have not found Sarah or her husband Thomas in 1841, but I would not have known Thomas' age or name when I was last at the library or that they may have had a son. So maybe that is my next step.

Thank you for all your help and advice. I wouldn't expect anyone to check the methodist records for me unless they already had them in their home. I know how frustrating when you have a limited time to spend your precious research time sorting out other peoples research. Will live with what I know for now - which is fantastic thanks to you.
Merry Christmas

Occupation Interests / Surgeon 1830s any sources
« on: Friday 02 December 11 17:07 GMT (UK) »
I have a surgeon born circa 1805 William Royden Watts. He died in Birmingham in 1847, but I don't know where he was born as 1841 census says out of County. Are there sources that would give an idea of where he was born or his parentage?

Thank you both for your excellent work. Is Elizabeth Watts bn 1807 Coventry (widow of Wm) not to be found in 1851? I know she died in Nov of that year.
Could I be cheeky again & ask for
1861 census Ann Rowlinson bn 1780 Carmarthen
1841 census Bridget A Rowlinson born 1840 Edgbaston
1841 Mary Ann Rowlinson bn abt 1819 B'ham, she married Joseph Ratcliff
Thank you for your patience

Hi,
Can anyone find this family on the 1841 & 1851 census please, should all be in Birmingham
William Royden Watts bn circa 1805 died 1847 surgeon
Elizabeth Watts bn 1807 Coventry died Nov 1851
Ann Sophia Watts bn 1833 Yorkshire died 1908
Also Elizabeth's siblings
Frederick William Picton Rowlinson bn 1813 B'ham
John Howell Rowlinson bn 1817 B'ham
I'm hoping the last two will lead to the other siblings Daniel & Mary Ann & their mother Anne Rowlinson a widow.

The Common Room / Jailbird Sir & Lady Wood -real or not?
« on: Thursday 01 December 11 16:16 GMT (UK) »
Could a landsurveyor who just happened to have been in jail at some stage become a Sir? If so would there be a record or announcement in a newspaper?
From a pamplett in B'ham archives we have mention of Sir Thomas & Lady Sarah Wood of Low Hall, South Cave, Yorkshire. Looking at records in Yorkshire archives, Thomas & his family are listed from 1747 to 1816. In the earlier entries of mid 1700s, there are entries in qtr sessions for not burying cattle & the Woods are yeoman (so farmers who owned land I would assume).
By 1785 John Wood is commissioner for land enclosures & a gent & in 1792 a widow Wood is giving land for the building of a Chapel.
The last mention in 1816 is of Thomas Wood being a land surveyor, but in 1807 he was fined for killing game with a dog & gun. There is a mention in the London Gazette of him being in South Cave jail, but there is no date.
I have no age for him, but his wife born 1779 appears alone in 1841 in B'ham. They probably had a son John Fred francis & certainly had a daughter born 1807, but was Thomas a Sir & Sarah a Lady? They were possibly Methodists.
