Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / William & Sarah Holder of Owlpen c.1735
« on: Saturday 14 May 11 12:58 BST (UK) »
Trying to find the marriage of William Holder and his wife Sarah.
They first appear with the birth of a daughter in Owlpen (Bettie in 1736) but I can't find a marriage for them or even one that could be them.
They also had Sarah (1738), Hannah (1740), Hester (1747), Sarah (1755), Richard (1758) and James (1760) but with the gaps there could well be more.
Any help gratefully received

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Mary Reeves, Liverpool - missing in 1901
« on: Thursday 12 May 11 22:16 BST (UK) »
Mary married my great uncle Thomas Fletcher Jeacock on 1 January 1921 at St Saviour, Everton giving her age as 24. The witnesses to the marriage do not obviously assist with any siblings.
Her father is given as Edward Reeves, a cook and she died young, aged 28 in 1925, so she would have been born around 1897.
I cannot find her in 1901....a second pair of eyes would assist !

Devon / John SNOW, Stonemason, born 1803, Molland
« on: Sunday 01 May 11 14:58 BST (UK) »
Trying to find out about the above and in particular where and when he married his wife Jane.
She was born in Bishops Nympton in around 1805 and they went on to have (all at Molland):-
John (1830 according to some census' but younger on others)
Edwin (1837)
Henry (1839)
Abel (1842)
Jane (1844)
Ann (1849)
There could be more children that died and I am interesting in finding the childrens baptisms and the parents marriage more than the census as I have found those no problem (they did not move out of Molland) with John dying between 1851 and 1861.
Some of the children ended up in Gloucestershire
Thank you

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Missing 1861 onwards - George Johnston and Jane Fletcher
« on: Friday 22 April 11 18:56 BST (UK) »
These two and their children seem to have gone missing after the 1861 census.
They marry on 21 August 1843 at St Philip, Liverpool and go on to have Wilfred James (1844), Harriett Jane (1847), George (1852) and Mary (1856) although there could be more.
George Snr's birthplace is variable between London (1851) and Liverpool (1861) but the rest of the family are definitely Liverpool born.
They last appear on the 1861 census as a family at RG9 2702 55 38 (No 25 Court, Mann St, Toxteth)
Any help tracing what happened to them all would be gratefully received
Thanks
Ruth

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / John Atkinson and Louisa Scotter, Hull
« on: Thursday 07 April 11 20:05 BST (UK) »
this might be a bit of a long shot, but I can try
My great great aunt Louisa Scotter was born in 1823 in Norwich, but came with her family to Hull in the mid to late 1840s. It seem she had a rather interesting adulthood
Louisa had a child Hannah in April 1850 at Carr Lane, Myton and named on the birth certificate is the alleged father John Atkinson, a slater by profession. Louisa is down as Louisa Atkinson formerly Scotter and the baby's full name is Hannah Elizabeth Scotter Atkinson.
Question 1 is when (or did) Louisa and John marry? I cannot find that they did and to be truthful by 1851 Louisa was in the workhouse with Hannah and another baby Emma. (Emma's father is by and large resolved as she married him in 1865 after his wife died).
She is an Atkinson on Hannah's birth certificate, a Scotter on the 1851 census and an Atkinson when Hannah dies in August 1851.
I doubt very much she was married when either child was born, but I am interested to find out about John Atkinson.
Thanks in advance

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Caroline Jane Gaze (b.1869 Gloucester) 71,81 and 91 census
« on: Saturday 12 March 11 15:33 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find Caroline on the 1871, 81 and 91 census returns.
Her christening gives her as the child of William & Caroline Jane Gaze and she had one older brother George Henry (b. 1868, Gloucester). William Gaze was a carpenter.
She married on 1 April 1897 in Blackburn, Lancashire to John Charles Utley which confirms her father as William Gaze, and I've got her after she marries and all her children born between 1897 and 1916.
Thanks

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / West Street Chapel, Hull - COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 29 January 11 16:12 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have or could find any information about West Street Chapel?
I've found West Street in Hull but cannot find anything about a Chapel there. A lot of my Scotter ancestors were christened there according to familysearch but I seem to have drawn a blank on it, particularly what denomination it was
Thanks

Lancashire / Inez Forbes Hunter (b.1880)
« on: Saturday 22 January 11 14:03 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find some information about this lady who married a cousin of my grandmother, Tom Ernest Pritchard in 1905.
They married in Liverpool and I believe her parents were John Hunter and Hannah Richardson Black/France.
I *think* Inez was born in America (no idea where), but her mother was Scottish with Liverpool connections. I have no idea where her father was from.
Tom & Inez had 3 children that I know about - Arthur Cecil in 1906, Ines Maud b&d 1909 and another son born in 1920 who could still be alive. All the children were Liverpool born and there may be more.
Any information about her or her family would be gratefully received
