Re: Clark Family, Southend on Sea

I have a cousin Sidney Clark in my family tree, born 1901-1902 in Southchurch, Essex. His parents were James & Minnie (nee Dean) Clark. I don't have any wife or children for him. Do you think this is a connection?

Census entry of Dudness, Essex - where is it?

BraisherT — 2009-11-07 01:59:18Z

Hi. My ancestor is Elizabeth Roast(b 1827, m James Denton 1850), clearly described on two census entries as born in Dudness, Essex, and in another as from South Weald.

I can't find any such place. Others have suggested Dungeness to me, in Kent but that doesn't really fit - and there are no other Roasts in Kent.

Anyone know where it could be?

Great Oakley Essex - Cowey

rickcowey — 2009-11-06 14:11:58Z

I am looking for a marriage between a John Cowey and Maria ???? sometime before 1841.

They had a son John bn 1829 and several other children after this date.

John and Maria both showed they were natives of Great Oakley in every Census up to 1891 so presume they would have married there.

I have not found a Parish Online register for Essex or any records on line for Great Oakley in IGI.

If possible would someone be able to check the records office for this marriage.

Regards

Rick

Hello Harry.
No sorry have not got back any further. Every time I try to do my own family some one wants me to research for them.

Hope I have this right.
George John Saich married Charlotte Thorogood in 1939 Sept. qtr. Dunmow Essex.

Do you have the marriage cert. This will show His father.

have you noticed on 1841 census after son Georges name there is a Susannah Thorogood aged 5 aged hard to read so could be a mistake

possibly born before they married. Do you know was she Charlottes daughter. just wondered why she is marked as a Thorogood.

My side of the family come down to Blanche M Saich daughter of George and Rebecca
Blanche married William Thomas McPherson. They lived in London then Cambridge.
Are you connected to Blanche and the New Market family.
Look forward to hearing from you Edwina

Re: Upson Booker change to Upson ?

Upson Booker change to Upson ?

lorrriccio — 2009-11-02 16:53:43Z

From information from my grandfather, the Upson Bookers were tinkers. I know they spent a lot of time in Eckington, Derbyshire, which is very close to Sheffield, Yorkshire.
Family legend says that John Upson Booker was responsible for the death of a gamekeeper and had to "disappear" to Wales for a while, then came back ot Yorkshire as an Upson, but we haven't found anything to substantiate this. Nor do we have a timeframe.
What we do know is that the family for a while was known as Upson Booker, then reverted back to Upson.
Does anyone have any leads for us???
Thanks
Lorraine

Re: Henry Oatham born Essex @1830

gingerstripe — 2009-10-21 16:29:53Z

I don't have any information about Lilian Albiston's children, and not a great deal about her family apart from her birth in 1889 in Bethnal Green and her marriage to my ancestor, Robert Oatham in 1908 (his grandfather's brother was the Henry Oatham above). I have not verified the year of birth from National Archives. She is known as Lily on the 1891 and 1901 census. She probably had 7 siblings: Samuel, Alfred, George, Herbert, Daisy, Horace and Violet. She was the eldest girl. Her parents were Samuel (a tin japanner) and Elizabeth, both born in Bethnal Green.

Samuel's parents were born in Wolverhampton. He was also a japanner. He had several other children apart from Lily's father, some born in Wolverhampton, some in BG. As far as I know HIS father, also Samuel was born around 1780 and was also a japanner.

Let me know if you want any further information about the Oatham family.

Hi, I am a direct descendant of Laura Gifford, older sister to Horace. Laura was my great grandmother. I don't have much info on the Giffords other than her father was Joseph (b. abt. 1822), and her paternal grandfather was John (b. abt. 1786). Nonetheless, we must be cousins!

Re: CHURCH OF ST. MARY - Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex Co.

KevinLong85 — 2009-10-20 22:25:43Z

Hi Colin:

Thanks for contacting me concerning the 'Reynolds' records from the Church of St. Mary, in Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex Co.

I was seeking further information on my 3rd g. grandmother, Jane Reynolds. If you have any further details about her, I would appreciate the data. I understood that Jane Reynolds was born circa 1835 in Hatfield Broad Oak, being the daughter of James Reynolds (mother not known). Jane Reynolds later married Peter Cook at the church on October 12, 1850.

If you have a baptismal date for Jane Reynolds, this would confirm her birth as well as her parent's names. Perhaps, you may also have details about her father, James Reynolds etc. etc.

Thanks again for your assistance and interest.

Regards,
Kevin.

Hi,

I'm not sure if there is any connection between our James Richer or not. I don't have his parents. what I do know is he was born in England, arrived in 1852 and he has nine children. Mine is married to Sarah Elizabeth gregory, no date He resided in East Jordon,Michigan If you feel this may be your James pleas get in touch with me.

Hello Barry and thank you for your response to my message.
I am researching my father's footsteps in Braintree.
He was born at no. 64 South Street.
If the factory is no. 68, then it could be that the Dutch House is no. 64 and 66 as I have been told that it is two cottages. Cannot confirm this though!
I would love to see the two photographs you have if at all possible. That would be very kind of you.

regards, Patricia

Re: The Dutch House, South Street, Braintree, Essex

Hello I recently contacted a Carol Toogood, church warden at HBO and she supplied all records for the "Reynolds" for a charge of £19. Good value when you consider the price of fuel!! I have baptisms, banns, marriages & burials. Who are you looking for? Colin

Re: Giffords of Thorpe-le-Soken

thesaunders146 — 2009-11-01 03:11:59Z

Actually, you would be a cousin of my wife. I do have some information on the Giffords, but I have not been able to track down all Horace's children. There were 13 of them and I have information on 7. My m-i-l never knew all her siblings. She was the youngest and at least one had immigrated to Australia before she was born.

What information are you looking for and how can I get it to you?

Go to The National Archives website click on divorce and put the code J 77 I was lucky and found the divorce I wanted and I am currently awaiting an estimate of the cost of documents. (Its something like 40p per A4 sheet) But thats only because I want to know the reason. But on this site it will tell you which party filed the divorce and when it was.
Good Luck

Joseph Harrison. Henham Independent Chapel, Essex

anthonyyoungman_1 — 2009-10-22 18:17:48Z

Hello,

As I live in Australia can someone please lookup a record at the Essex Records Office?

The catalogue reference is D/NC 36/1 and relates to the records of Henham Independent Chapel 1806-1837 (one volume).

I am looking for any information on Joseph Harrison who was a schoolmaster at the Henham Independent Chapel from around 1806-1812. He may have acted as the minister during this time. His wife was Sally Harrison and he had at least two sons born there: Joseph and Massah.

It is rumoured that he was ejected from the Chapel for taking liberties with one of his female pupils.

Joseph later became involved in the Radical Reform movement at Stockport and was arrested for sedition.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Anthony
