London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 44 Great Marylebone Street, early 19th century
« on: Wednesday 16 July 08 21:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi Dave -
Many thanks for an informative and helpful reply. In fact the first entry (Pigot's 1836) solves a difficulty for me. My ancestor, Henry Page, had a son Henry William Page (who appears on his first child's birth certificate, 1838) as an innkeeper in Chertsey, though on his marriage certificate (Cheltenham 1837) he is a butcher of 44 Gt Marylebone St. I had been wondering whether the business was his or his father's, and your reply strongly suggests that it was his. In 1836 Henry William was 21 years old: at 29 he died of consumption. The search for the earlier life of his father, Henry Page, goes on!

My ancestor's wife in the 1841 census was Jane, and the family lived at 20 Bury Street, off Piccadilly - so I'm sure that the tripe dresser is not an ancestor.

Once again, many thanks for your help :)+

Lancashire / HOYLES of Rochdale/ Bacup

If anyone is researching the Hoyle family, particularly the branch that for at least two centuries lived in the Whitworth area, I would be interested in exchanging information.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / 44 Great Marylebone Street, early 19th century COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 16 July 08 18:30 BST (UK)  »
Are there any trade directories for London for the earlier years of the 19th century? I am interested in 44 GREAT MARYLEBONE STREET. In Pigot's 1839 (I believe) my ancestor Henry Page is listed as a butcher at that address. I would like to know when he began to live/ trade in that place. His origins are still a mystery to me: the census records him born Charlwood, Surrey, though I can find no baptismal record. I'm hoping to find some information that might lead me back to his parents and birthplace.
For any help I should be most grateful

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Great Budworth area baptism
« on: Wednesday 16 July 08 18:21 BST (UK)  »
If anyone has access to baptismal records for the Great Budworth area I should be grateful for a look-up. The person I am interested in is SARAH SUMNER, born around 1814. In all censuses her birthplace is recorded as Great Budworth, or simply Budworth - though it is possible she may have been christened somewhere else: the person I think was her father, Thomas Sumner, is recorded as born Witton, circa 1794, and her mother Mary [?] may have come from Bowden.
With many thanks in anticipation of any help

Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Charlwood baptism c. 1790
« on: Tuesday 15 July 08 20:50 BST (UK)  »
If someone has access to the baptismal registers for the Charlwood area, I would be very grateful for a look-up'

The person I am interested in is HENRY PAGE, who was born around 1790 (the 1851 census records his age as 61), and his given birthplace is recorded as Charlwood, Surrey. I know that at some stage he moved to London, probably working as a butcher (in 1869 [Pigots] at 44 Gt Marylebone St), and that his wife in the 1841 census was Jane (maiden name and place of marriage N/K).

Many thanks in anticipation of your help

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Yarpole baptismal registers
« on: Tuesday 15 July 08 20:43 BST (UK)  »
If someone has access to the baptismal records for Yarpole, I would be very grateful for a look-up.

The person I am interested in is JAMES BEVAN  (or Beavan) whose birthplace is recorded in the censuses of 1851 and 1861 as Yarpole, Herefordshire. 1851 records his age as 52; his age at death in 1864 was recorded as 64: given that such ages are not always accurate that would place his birth between 1798 and 1800. On the certificate of his second marriage (in 1838) he names his father as John Bevan, baker, though there is a possibility that he was illegitimate and that the father's name is a face-saving fiction.
With thanks in anticipation

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Cheltenham St Mary's parish register
« on: Tuesday 15 July 08 14:45 BST (UK)  »
Many thanks, Sue - and so quick!
I have been puzzling over this person for such a long time, wondering whether she was a full member of James Bevan's family ... and now I know she was!
Best wishes from overcast Cornwall

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Cheltenham St Mary's parish register
« on: Tuesday 15 July 08 14:02 BST (UK)  »
If someone has access to the PR for St Mary's Cheltenham I would be grateful for a lookup.
The person I am interested in is EMILY SUSAN BEVAN (or Beavan), born between 1832 and 1834. Her parents' names should be James and Miriam ... though it is possible she may have been the daughter of James Bevan by a different partner. Ideally, if no Emily Bevan is found, I would be interested in any other Emilys - particularly Emily Susans.
Other members of her family were christened at St Mary's, and family burials were likewise. I know this person married William Stevens of Cheltenham sometime between 1850 and 1857, but no record turns up in FreeBMD. Emily is always shown as born Cheltenham, though even in the 1841 census she is not shown at her father's address, but lives in a school at Staverton. In 1851 she was a milliner's apprentice in Montpellier Street, Cheltenham.
