Yes - I saw that one on IGI.  I thought it looked by far the most likely of the ones there as his grandfather, uncle, cousin, etc were called Isaac (his first son's name), there was a quite closely related Rebecca, etc.

Unfortunately, someone told me he married a Christiana FELTHAM.  I asked my sister in law to check this as she is an Ancestry member and the marriage record is on there but she hasn't got back to me yet.  (I must remind her!)

Anyway, thanks for looking.  :)

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!  :)

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Binfield 1801 Census
« on: Wednesday 08 July 09 18:25 BST (UK)  »
I have now read the fascinating paper on migration mentioned towards the top of this thread and a visit to the BRO has increased in likelihood as it appears that they have a great deal of information on Binfield in the second half of the 1700s - 1801.  This may eventually be far more interesting than just ploughing through Parish Records. 

The WHEELER/CARTER/LONG families of Binfield were the "unknown" 25% of my tree, but perhaps they may become the most informative. 

According to the data I have seen, the CARTERs and LONGs, at least, should have been residents of Binfield during the 1750-1801 period.

I just hope that, unlike my grandfather Wilfrid Long WHEELER, they do not turn out to have been such "undeserving paupers" that no-one has bothered to mention them in any of these surveys!  (I have yet to figure out where or when he died, for instance!)

I looked again at Robert CARTER who died in 1801, above, and since the earliest CARTER in my tree is William CARTER c1781, I don't know if there is any link between them or not. 

The only thing I do know about William CARTER c1781 is that in the 1841 census his "residence" was The Shoulder of Mutton public house, Binfield, with only his 15 year old daughter Elizabeth (my great-great grandmother), and in 1861 he was 80 years old and an inmate of an Easthampstead institution which I assume was the poor house.

All very interesting...

Thanks very much for this.  :)

It sounds like this might be a trail worth following.  There are a couple of people here who have a copy of the whole thing for Binfield, no?

I will go back and take a look at the earlier replies re CARTER.

Could I ask you what the names (and any other info) were for the "small WHEELER family" in your part of the census?

Again, many thanks!  :)

Hi!

I am completely stuck trying to unravel the ancestors of my great-great grandfather agricultural/brickmaker's labourer Isaac WHEELER c1822 of Binfield, son of Mary WHEELER and "father unknown", and grandson of Elizabeth WHEELER (possibly nee KNIBB?), c1775 of "Watin", Warwickshire.

I am also interested in the CARTERs and LONGs of Binfield.

Someone has suggested looking at the 1801 census for Binfield as this, unusually, still exists and had names listed. 

Before visiting the Berkshire Records Office I would be very grateful indeed if anyone here could look for any WHEELERs, KNIBBs, CARTERs or LONGs listed in the 1801 census.

Names/families of particular interest include:

Mary WHEELER, between 0 and 30 years old, probably.
Isaac WHEELER, ag lab, born c1780.
Elizabeth KNIBB, born c1775.
Isaac WHEELER, born c1760 or before, and wife Jane.

William CARTER, c1781, haybinder/ag lab, and wife Hannah (possibly nee WILLABY?).

John LONG, ag lab, christened 16 May 1784, Binfield, and wife Ann.
William LONG, born before c1760, and wife Elizabeth (nee ATTY?)

These three families appear to have intermarried a couple of times in the early 1800s so I'd be very interested in any information on any of them.

Thanks very much!

Therese.
