Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Bristol parish records - HAWKINS marriage c1813-1820ish.
« on: Friday 17 July 09 13:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi!

I'm looking for a marriage between Robert HAWKINS and Ann in Bristol, probably before 1818.

Robert HAWKINS, labourer/ag lab, c1795 of Cullompton, Devon (father Thomas) and his wife Ann c1786 of Barnstable, Devon (according to census returns) lived in Bristol between at least 1818 and 1824.

Four of their children were christened in St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol (Frederick bn c1818, James bn c1820 and Robert bn c1822 all on 25 Dec 1822 and Ann on 25 Dec 1824).

Frederick HAWKINS c1818 was listed in some census returns as born in Bedminster which may mean Robert and Ann's marriage might be found in Somerset or Gloucestershire.

I would be very grateful if anyone could take a look at the Bristol parish records and see if they can spot any likely looking marriage between Robert HAWKINS and Ann (both "of Devon" rather than otp, perhaps?).

[As an aside, I'm interested in why the children were married at St Mary Redcliffe on Christmas Day.  Was there a free baptism service for poor people at Christmas or something similar?]

Very many thanks!  :)

Therese.

Wiltshire Completed Lookup Requests / COMPLETED: Tisbury PRs/BTs - 1808 marriage of George GRAY and Christiana FELTHAM
« on: Saturday 11 July 09 23:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi! 

Could anyone with a copy/access to the Tisbury records tell me whether the record of the Tisbury marriage of George Gray to Christiana Feltham on 2 May 1808 mentions anything about the age, residence/birthplace or any other information about George Gray?

Thanks very much!

Therese.

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Wiltshire Parish Records - George GRAY born c1779
« on: Friday 10 July 09 10:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi all!

I am looking for the birth/christening record of George GRAY, born between approx 1775 and 1782-ish "somewhere in Wiltshire" who would would fit in with the following details:

Married Priscilla BURTON, St Swithins, Bath, 30th April 1798.  (Christened Priscilla BOURTON in Clyffe Pypard in 1778, daughter of Edward BOURTON and Ann/Nanny TEAGLE, both  of Winterbourne Bassett.)

1799 Daughter Rebecca GRAY christened Winterbourne Bassett.

1805-9 Children Isaac, Eliza and Virtue GRAY born Avoncliff, christened Murhill Chapel, Winsley.

1817 George GRAY described as "miller" on daughter Harriet's christening record from Winsley.  (GRAYE in BTs)

1819 Further son, George GRAY christened at Winsley.

1841 Census.  Age 60, "navigater" Limpley Stoke, Wilts with Priscilla 60 and Rebecca 40.  All born in Wiltshire.  (Precise address was apparently "Stoke Gate House and Bridge".)

1845 Dies on 13 April in Limpley Stoke, age 66.

I have done a quick search of the "completed board" and didn't spot anything similar.

Most of the George GRAYs listed on IGI are the wrong person (married someone else, etc), therefore I am trying to find out what other information people might have online before investigating at the WRO, since that's a fair way away and it could be a rather long search!

I'd be very grateful if anyone can help me find George GRAY.

Thanks very much!  :)

Therese.
