Cambridgeshire / Sarah Savidge missing marriage
« on: Monday 18 July 16 12:05 BST (UK)  »
A wee bit frustrated.

I'm trying to find a marriage between a William Savidge and a Sarah Savidge, both sometimes spelled as Savage. Between 1860 and 1866 in Cambridgeshire, England.
I can never seem to come up with anything. Sarah is from Cottenham, Cambs and William from Wilburton, Cambs. I do believe they are cousins but can't find them on a BANNs or a Wedding cert. I have found them on the Census' from 1871 through to 1901 but nothing else. Perhaps one of you lovely people can find something I couldn't?

 But they are not to be confused with Sarah Savidges brother William Savidge and his wife Sarah Bennerson who married in 1861. They have similar dates of birth and the life but the Sarah and William I am after are in Wilburton though Sarah was born Cottenham.

I have banged my head against a never relenting wall for many a month over this and have got no where.

Please help.

Thanks to all who took their time. :)

United States of America / James Ellis - Dover, New Hampshire, USA
« on: Friday 15 July 16 09:37 BST (UK)  »
I am hoping someone can help me with my wall.

I am trying to find any information on a James Ellis.

He has 3 children with a Ruth Hussey. I am unable to find a marriage certificate for them. They have 3 children that I have been able to find that were born in Dover, New Hampshire

James Albert Ellis b.1823
William Russell Ellis b.1827
and my ancestor Charles Franklin Ellis b.1828.

On Charles Franklin Ellis' marriage certificate his fathers occupation is listed as being a Stonemason.

I'm hoping someone can find a marriage certificate for James and Ruth or any further information on James Ellis. I can't seem to find much if anything on him at all besides his having had children.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Emma

England / John Ford - My brick wall
« on: Tuesday 18 August 15 08:09 BST (UK)  »
So I have had enough of hitting my head against a brick wall and am seeking some help.
I am trying to track down information for one John Ford born abt 1851 England, prier to his coming to Australia.

I have his death crt and his marriage cert.

His death certificate (QLD) states his place of birth as Waldon, Essex. And his mother and fathers names as James Ford and Mary Ann Carter. His age at death was 49. They state he has been in Australian colonies 24 years in Queensland.

His Marriage. He married Mary Ann Heywood in 1878 in Queensland- his mother and father are William Ford and Mary Ann Carter. He was born in Ipswitch, Suffolk. He is a Bachelor and he is 28 years old.

I am more inclined to go with the marriage cert information as that was supplied by himself where as the death is obviously supplied by family members.

For love nor money can I find information on him prier to his marriage in Australia. I can't even seem to find him on a ships log coming into Australia. I am hoping SOMEONE can see something or knows something I don't.

Absolutely any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Desperately seeking Jessie's Entry
« on: Sunday 15 February 15 13:36 GMT (UK)  »
I really hope someone can help me solve this.

I am trying to find passenger list for Jessie Emily Pettit nee Lowens (b.1892) or any form of information on how/when she got here.
I know she has to have come over between 1919 and 1925 to Australia. She was married in England in 1919 and she first appears on the electoral roles in Queensland, Australia in 1925. She married Charles Pettit while he was home visiting his parents on leave while at war. Charles had previously moved to Queensland, Australia in 1913 with his brother. The family story is that Jessie come over to Australia to live with her husbands brother while her husband was still at war in France and they would soon meet up. So if someone can find her coming in to Australia, that would be fantastic. I have looked but maybe I am missing something. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Emma

Scotland / George William John Coupland
« on: Tuesday 03 February 15 04:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I’m hoping someone can help. I’m a little confused and unsure how to work this out. I have a relative that was married to a gentlemen by the name of George William John Coupland. They were married in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire. In the parish registers for their Marriage is says that George is a bachelor of Leith Edinburgh and next to his banns it has written St Nicholas Leiton Southend. I am assuming he is born in Scotland. How do I find his birth records.

Cambridgeshire Lookup Requests / Lowens - Waterbeach
« on: Sunday 01 February 15 02:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I am hoping someone can look at the parish records for me and see if there are baptism records for the Lowens children of Thoams and Mary Ann Lowens nee Robinson between 1873 and 1911. I believe they spent the majority of their lives in Waterbeach. The 1911 census has them listing 10 children born and of the 10, 5 had died by 1911. Any information on them from parish records would be greatly appreciated.
