« on: Saturday 24 February 07 16:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

I am hoping to confirm a marriage entry on IGI

Father's name and parish of Steventon for John should confirm the right marriage.

Thanks in advance.

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Baptism John Nobes at Ipsden
« on: Tuesday 20 February 07 23:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All

I am trying to find a baptism for John Nobes in Ipsden around 1811.

From 1851 to 1881, his year and place of birth are consistently 1811 Ipsden however he lived in Steventon, Berks.

At this time I have no names for his parents or if he has any siblings, sorry.

Thanks in advance

« on: Tuesday 13 February 07 11:20 GMT (UK)  »

I am contemplating purchasing a set of pr's for Rusper on microfiche but I have the choice of typescript or manuscript.

I've never had a choice before, the one's I've got are all typed so...

in your opinion what should  I go for?

Bedfordshire Completed Look ups / John Titmus Baptism *COMPLETED* Thank you
« on: Saturday 10 February 07 00:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all,

I have been trying to work backwards on John Titmus (and variants).

On the 1861 census, he was living in Pirton Herts and his birthplace is shown as Pegsdon in 1793

On the 1851 census he was living in Pirton Herts and his birthplace is shown as Shillington in 1796

On the IGI there is a baptism at Shillington for a John Titmus on 5th Nov 1793. Pegsdon hasn't been put on the IGI and I don't want to claim this baptism if there could be another one somewhere else.

But there don't appear to be any Pegsdon parish registers available to purchase on the Beds FHS site for me to check out so is it combined with another parish eg Shillington?

Can someone with local knowledge point me in a direction please or help me with this look-up.

Thanks in advance

Suffolk / Mary Ann WOOD(W)ARD
« on: Friday 26 January 07 19:30 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All

I'm new to this 'branch' of research and have a couple of queries.

Mary Ann was born in Suffolk around 1828 according to her 1906 death cert in Australia.

There is some confusion over her surname.

There is a FreeBMD marriage entry for December 1/4 1853 Lambeth but the surname is Woodard, the husband is correct though, William Sherry. I haven't got the marriage cert yet.

It's possible Mary Ann above is in London by the 1851 census.

94 Holborn Hill, Holborn St Andrew
H0107 Piece 1527 Folio 126 Page 41
Mary Ann Woodward age 26 Housemaid Born Bristol Suffolk

The scanned image is quite clearly Bristol Suffolk

Can someone with more local knowledge suggest what alternatives 'Bristol' could be.

Also, having never ventured in Suffolk for research, what is IGI coverage like for baptisms?

Thanks in advance

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / 1851 census William Henry Sherry
« on: Thursday 25 January 07 10:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

Can't get to the library until the weekend to use their copy of Ancestry so am asking for some help in the meantime.

William Henry Sherry born around 1819 in Bath living with a 'wife'
Mary Ann nee Wood(w)ard born around 1828 in Suffolk
daughter Mary Ann born around 1848 London
daughter Amelia born around 1851 London (may not have been born by census)

William and Mary 'possibly' didn't marry until 1853 just before emigrating to Australia.

Thanks in advance

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Marriage or Burial look-up please
« on: Monday 15 January 07 15:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All

Urias Longhurst was baptised at Ockley on 1st August 1599.

Her mother V(U)rye and father John were buried at Ockley on 29th October and 1st November 1603. She is mentioned in her father's will as Ury and her grandfather's will, who also died in 1603, as Eurie.

Are there any sightings of her in either the Surrey Marriage or Burial Index.

Thanks in advance.

Dawn
