Herefordshire / George Blower, coachman
« on: Sunday 09 December 12 23:29 GMT (UK)  »
My great grandmother lists her father's name and occupation on her 1864 Derbyshire wedding record as 'George Blower - coachman'.

Have been looking for years but have never been able to find out anything about either of her parents. After doing some free searches through the British Newspaper Archive I came across mention of a George Blower who was a coachman to H. Crawshay, Esq. at Oaklands Park in Forest of Dean.

As the paper was an 1854 issue of the Hereford Times I'm assuming these places were in Herefordshire. Can't seem to get any further with this and am wondering if anyone has any ideas on further research in Herefordshire.

I've tried attaching a copy of the article.

South Africa / (COMPLETED )Beatrice Mary Walker and Cyril Joseph (Bill) Risley
« on: Monday 03 December 12 01:11 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace one line of my family that emigrated to South Africa in 1928. This is all I know about them:

Beatrice Mary Walker b. 1897, Tettenhall, Staffs., England;
married C.J. (Bill) Risley;
they had one daughter G. Mary Risley b. 1927;
they emigrated to Durban (Port Natal), South Africa 3/10/1928;
Beatrice corresponded with my mother a few times in the late 1930's from Durban.

Is it possible to find out more information about them?

I have seen Leicestershire NK listed as a birthplace on the 1861 census.

Could anyone tell me what place that refers to?

Staffordshire / Have added more information but still need help with this Blower family
« on: Wednesday 07 November 12 23:10 GMT (UK)  »
George Blower and Theodonia Whitehouse married in 1844 (Wolverhampton 17 360).

They have a daughter Sarah Ann Blower born in 1853 (Wolverhampton 6b 345).
They have another daughter Edith Blower born in 1857 (Wolverhampton 6b 393).

Theodonia Blower is a widow and living with Sarah and Edith in her father's house on the 1861 census.

I can't find them in the 1851 census. Does anyone have any ideas?

Have a lot of information about her post-1864. It is the early years where I am stumped.
