Help Please - Amor Devizes
« on: Thursday 07 April 05 11:17 BST (UK) »
Looking for assistance in tracking the following family:

James AMOR b ca 1816 Devizes WIL - d 1851 Reading BRK
Jane (maiden name unknown) wife b ca 1812 Bristol
George AMOR b 1838 (shown variously as Aldworth WIL [1851 and 1871 census], Hatworth BRK [1861], Salford WIL [1881& 1891] and Saltford SOM[1901])
James AMOR b 1851 Reading BRK
Mary AMOR b 1853 Reading BRK

I have 1851 onwards census data, but have been unable to find birth of James or George in Wiltshire or any other children (there appears to be too large a gap between George and James jnr).  I'm assuming that the marriage of James and Jane took place in Gloucestershire, but cannot find that either.

Would be grateful for any assistance.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this helps or not!!

I looked on the parish records for Devizes, St Mary's

There was only one entry for Amor

Hannah Amor Baptised 26 Aug 1818, daughter of James (lab) and Hannah, born 8 June.

I know you are looking for James, but the year is close enough to be a sibling???!

There were a few Amor entries in Southbroom Devizes, but in the wrong time period (1600 to 1700).

I don't have the records for Devizes St John, but have found some individuals there when the rest of the family were in St Mary's.

Anyway I guess it gives you something to think about, or at least file away for a later date!
