There was a reply I think from Laurie which answerd your question but appears to have been deleted. Your Samuel joined the army and died of disease in India from what I remember. if you did not see the reply before it was deleted (presumably because it breached the rules) then I suggest you contact Laurie directly. I would think that all you Ikins go back to a common ancestor probably called Samuel but whther there are sufficient surviving records to establish the think is the question. If the family was CoE you have a better chance than if they were non-conformist as happened in one of my families where you can see marriages and some baptisms but gaps because the non-conformist records were lost/destroyed by fire with no bcakcup like the Bishops Transcripts.

I have found in the 1861 Census,James & Mary Brooks(Ikin, Palin),to-gether James children, & Step children, but I
cannot find any connection with my family.
The three Samuel Ikin marriages you refer to are probably
related, Samuel Ikin/Sarah Bratt(Fathers Name-John Ikin)
Samuel Ikin/Mary Blackburn(Fathers Name-Samuel Ikin).
The Samuel Ikin I am trying to find lived in Chester Lane,
Marton,(very close to Blakeden Lane,)with Parents Joseph &
Mary Anne. Joseph's parents were Samuel & Elizabeth, who were married at Acton Church, near Nantwich,in 1812,then
moved to Chester Lane, Marton.
Being so close to Blakeden Lane,Elizabeth must have known Mary
Brooks & family very well.
Samuel & Elizabeth had 16 children but none of them married
a Brooks.
Sorry I cannot give you any more information.
Regard,
Geoff. Ikin

Re: Samuel IKIN, Winsford (Over), Cheshire

lcaron0822 — 2009-11-29 19:21:18Z

I have a Samuel Ikin in my tree, born 1853 at Blakeden Lane, parents John Ikin and Mary Palin. John died in 1853 and Mary married James Brooks. Samuel's brother, John, married Margaret Moss, and they had a son Samuel, who was born in 1st Qtr 1875, christened 29 Aug 1875.

I have seen another Samuel, born Jul 1875, to Joseph and Mary Ann. But I haven't linked the relationship yet to my Samuel.

As for marriages, I've seen a Samuel Ikin married to Mary Blackburn in 1893, and a Samuel Ikin married to a Sarah Bratt in 1896, and a Samuel Ikin married to Elizabeth Newton in 1904 - but I've never tied them to either Samuel mentioned above.

My interest is: My children's 2X great-grandfather was John Brooks, son of James Brooks and Mary Ikin. Mary was the daughter of John Ikin and Ann Williamson. I have yet to tie this line into the Samuels above either - although I'm sure there is a close relationship somehow.

If you discover more info, would love to hear from you.

Laurie (lcaron0822@rogers.com)

I too have found Samuel & Sarah in the 1901 census living in Crewe with kids Samuel,Walter & Alfred.
I have also found a record of their marriage at Over St. Chads. A Couple of things,this Samuel,s father,s name was also Samuel,and secondly Samuel(son of Joseph) was born in Marton,not Winsford.
Thanks for all your efforts, I wish this had been the
correct one. I will carry on searching but it is difficult,
he seems to have disappeared.

Well there are two Samuels registered one in 1875 and one in 1876, pity this one isn't yours. Have you considered the possibility of emigration to OZ say. If he went to the States he did not pass through Ellis Island but there are other possiblities.

eworld_2 — 2009-11-25 15:06:51Z

I think I've found Samuel at 110 Underwood Lane Crewe in 1901 aslong with wife Sarah(nee Bratt) Samuel Junior, Walter and Alfred. Using CheshireBMD looks like they married at Over St Chads and using FreeBMD in 1Q1896. Looks like Samuel died 2Q1934 probably at Crewe ( registered at Nantwich). If I'm right they had a large family the last in 1923 so there's a possiblity there's one still alive. Take a look at the GenesReunited site there are others interested in your Ikin family in particular Samuel's father Joseph.

Re: Thomas IKIN, Winsford (Over), Cheshire

eworld_2 — 2009-11-25 14:26:21Z

Yes. The format of the full birth certificate has remained the same since 1837 so a copy of one will essentially be the same as your own.

Re: Thomas IKIN, Winsford (Over), Cheshire

Hi Geoff, I have found these which may help,
Thomas Ikin married Mary Greenaway 1879 1 st Qtr in Prescot Lancs. Vol 8b page797 and
William Thomas Ikin married Mary Ellen Wyatt
4 th Qtr 1882 at Vol 8a page 223 Altrincham Ches. as these places are quite near Winsford its a maybe .
also I have received birth certs from 1850`s with mothers name .
hope it helps ,

Re: Thomas IKIN, Winsford (Over), Cheshire

Thank you for the information, just to clarify, we are talking about the mother's maiden name's on the birth certificates.

Re: Thomas IKIN, Winsford (Over), Cheshire

eworld_2 — 2009-11-25 10:26:31Z

The mother's name has always been on birth certificates since 1837 except for foundlings of course, the father's name is a different matter. The GRO index did not give the mother's maiden name until 1911.

Re: Thomas IKIN, Winsford (Over), Cheshire

geoffikin — 2009-11-25 10:16:26Z

Hi Kath,Thanks for the information,I think 'Mary Greenaway'
sounds promising, I will send for the Marriage certificate.
It was interesting to hear about Birth Certificate's including mothers maiden names in the 1850's, so I will also send for young Thomas's Birth Certificate.
Thanks again.

Re: WHITE birth in Chester

Thank you for your reply.
I would like to try to find a baptism but am not sure where to start. Thomas's son William was born 1854 District of Cathedral Division in the County of Chester and City and County of the City of Chester. William was married at the Primitive Methodist Chappel George Street in the District of Chester County of Chester/Flint and City of Chester. William's address was at the time of his marriage in 1874 7 Gloucester Street Chester. I am not familiar with Chester as I live on the other side of the world. I am assuming that these places are close in which case who do I contact for a Baptism record????? I have strenuously searched census records but have not come across anything that looks like a match in Chester but have found William in Eastbourne prior to moving to Australia.
Thanks again.

Re: WHITE birth in Chester

robyndixon145 — 2009-11-08 00:10:55Z

Hello Linda
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I do not have a date of birth for Thomas. His son William was born on 16.03.1854. Mother Elizabeth according to birth CT. By the time William married in 1874 Thomas was noted as deceased on the marrige CT. So I have no real proof that there was a marriage at this stage or that Thomas existed. My tree is the WHITE BULLOCK FAMILY TREE if you would like to look. Thanks again.

There are two or three things that might get you a bit further. First see if you can find your gggrandfather on the census and see whom he is living with and perhaps a few names in the locality. Secondly see if you can find a baptism and check the original entry, there's sometimes the father's name added in in some form or other. Thirdly see if there is a subsequent marriage for his mother
