Hi

I don't know whether anyone can help me or point me in the right direction but I am trying to find the baptism for a Henry Baldwin born about 1812 in Cork, Ireland.

His parents should be Corles and Esther.

I have his birth year from a marriage record in Preston, Lancs in 1844 and it may help me to find Corles who was my 4 x great grandfather.

My great great great grandfather Thomas Terrey was baptised at Westerham to William and Elizabeth in 1829 according to a contact who sent me a list of Terry/terrey baptisms from Westerham church.

I have Thomas on the 1841 census at Crockham Hill, Westerham with William and Elizabeth and:
Ann, 10 born in county
Phillis 6, not born in county
Debrah, 4, not born in county
John, 1, born in county

William, 36 and Elizabeth, 24 both born in county

1851 again Thomas, 21 born Westerham with William and Elizabeth at Crockham Hill, Westerham with:
Deborah, 13, born Burstow, Surrey
John, 11, born Westerham
Edward, 4 born Westerham
Emma, 8 born Westerham

William, 45, born Westerham and Elizabeth 43 born Edenbridge

Ok so far, so to enable me to find out who Elizabeth was I ordered birth certficate for Deborah and got the following
30 August 1837, Deborah, d of William Terrey and Elizabeth Terrey formerly Heath at Burstow

I have never managed to find a marriage either in Kent or Surrey with an Elizabeth Heath and William Terrey although in Crawley, Sussex in 1827 there was a William Terrey to an Elizabeth Drewett both widowed.  That is on the backburner though as I have no proof that this is the right Elizabeth.

This morning I received John's birth certificate and this is where the problem starts.

27 June 1840, Crockham Hill, Westerham, John, son of William Terrey and Elizabeth Terrey formerly Wood.

So now I have another Elizabeth.

I have not managed to find a birth certificate for Emma and this morning ordered a male Terrey that could fit Edward for 1847 but I would be grateful if anyone is able to help with the following records in Kent:

• Marriage between William Terrey/Terry and an Elizabeth Heath or Wood
• Baptism for an Elizabeth Heath or Wood probably at Edenbridge or Westerham

I also received this morning a death certificate for Elizabeth, 1860 , wife of William Terrey at Crockham Hill and gives age as 54 so born about 1806 which more or less fits with the two census records.

I have checked IGI, there is no obvious Elizabeth Wood and the only Elizabeth Heath was baptised at Limpsfield just across the border in Surrey 1807 but that doesn't fit with 1841 and 1851 census so did she die before 1840 and William remarry an Elizabeth Wood?  Unable to verify at all although seems like an obvious answer.  Or does anyone else have another theory?

If anyone can help I would be grateful

Hi

Don't know if anyone is able to help.  I am looking for the death of Catherine Rowcliff/e in Osceola, Polk, Wisconsin.  I have a copy of the 1860 census and there is a child, 3 months old, Charles.  Her husband Stephen is alone with the children.  By the 1870 census he has married again.

I would really like to trace Catherine's death if anyone is able to help.

Hi

I don't know if anyone is able to help but I am looking for the baptism and parents of Stephen Rowcliffe born 1829/1830 in Barnstaple. 

1841 census has him in Bloomsbury London with a Thomas Rowcliffe age 3 also born out of county.
1851 census he is lodging in Turner Place, Hoxton with the Turner family and is born 1830 Barnstaple.  He unfortunately got the daughter Catherine pregnant later that year, and they married the following year.  They later emigrated to Wisconsin.

Thank you to anyone who can help.
