Susannah Anthony m ? Morris

lissy90 — 24 Jul 2008 1:36:22 GMT

Can anyone help? We're looking for the marriage of one of our ancestors -Susannah Anthony.
We know from the will of her brother James, made in 1784 Worcester England that her married name was Morris. However we cannot find any details of her marriage anywhere.
As we haven't yet established the parents or birth place of these 2 siblings James and Susannah and their brother and sister Thomas and John Anthony, we have hit a big brick wall.
We know from his will and other documents that James Anthony was born c1719 and married at the age of 40 in Worcester, so therefore we can only guess at the time period in which Susannah married -anything between the 1730-1760 period.
Worcester marriage records have drawn a blank, and although we haven't done a detailed search in the Hereford records, nothing has been found there either.
It's possible that Susannah married Mr Morris in Shropshire, or even London. IGI has drawn a blank. Can anyone shed any light on the matter and help???

William WOODS

Suzanne MAIDEN — 15 Nov 1999 12:00:00 GMT

Frederick Lindsay WOODS - who was a son of William WOODS emigrated to Australia in 1867. On 28 Dec 1870 Frederick Lindsay WOODS married at Naracoorte South Australia and he gave his father's name as William WOODS. When Frederick Lindsay WOODS died on 1 August 1913 at Porter St Parkside South Australia the family listed his place of birth as being WORCHESTERSHIRE.

Frederick Lindsay WOODS would have been born around 1849 yet I can find no record of his birth in WORCHESTERSHIRE, nor anywhere else. As I do not know the name of his mother - this compounds my problems as I am sure that there were many William WOODS persons born in WORCHESTERSHIRE ENGLAND.

On the basis that sometimes family names are repeated in a family I include below the names of the children of Frederick Lindsay WOODS:

Frederick Lindsay WOODS and his wife Ellen Elizabeth (nee GODDARD) had the following children after 1870 in South Australia:

William Henry WOODS
Annie Eliza (married : CROSSING)
Ida Mary WOODS
Charles Edward WOODS
Alice Elizabeth (married : WILKEY)
Alfred Lindsay WOODS
Henry Samuel WOODS
Ellen Louisa (married : BASEBY)
Bertram Lawrence WOODS.

I have such excellent details on the family of the wife of Frederick Lindsay WOODS that it would be pleasing to discover a bit more about his family origins. If you can help it would be most appreciated please.

How to investigate prior to 1840

pnewman82 — 4 Oct 2008 5:36:46 GMT

Hi there,

I've managed to trace my paternal line up to a Thomas Newman, b1780 Worcestershire, d1870 Lambeth. I'm pretty sure of the information I have. I have managed to find details of marriage using the pallots index. That's fine.

However, how can you investigate prior to the 1841 census with any kind of accuracy? Online at least, the only details there are are of slave trading.

Are there "hard copies" of the 1831 census etc that are available?

Moore, Fletcher & Fields Families

I am helping a friend of mine with her family tree but I'm missing many dates and places and I'm looking for help or suggestions. She was born in 1979 and her parents are in thier sixties so that gives an idea of possible birthdates for her ancestors.

Her grandfather was William Henry Moore, husband of "Elsie May" or "Margaret" Fields. Elsie May/Margaret Fields was from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England and I have no idea who her parents were. William Henry Moore's father was also named William Henry Moore and he was from/of Norfolk, England. William Henry Moore Sr.'s mother's name was Anna Marie, it is not known what her maiden name was.

This is all I have to go on and I can't find anything on the LDS website or Rootsweb to point me in the right direction.
Any info or suggestions?

John Harwood Born 1801 - Blockley? or Upton on Wold

mrhoddy — 30 Sep 2008 7:43:37 GMT

Hi,

Im trying to do some research on the family history of
the HARWOOD family which were based in blockley in the
1841 census.

John HARWOOD Born approx 1801
Phebe (or JANE) HARWOOD born 1806 (spouse)
Ann HARWOOD born 1828
Hannah HARWOOD born 1832
George HARWOOD born 1835
Charles HARWOOD born 1821
Mary HARWOOD???
William HARWOOD born 1837

Having looked at the records which are online, i need
to do some further research that will shed more light
on JOHN HARWOOD - so i beleive i need to review the

I need to find out where he was born in 1801 - although it is thought he was born in Blockley or Upton on Wold Gloucestershire

I also need information on his marriage to either a Phebe or Jane (surname ????)

I ideally need to place John birth place and and his parents names - could he possibly be John Harrod born 1801 to Edward Harrod?

At a guess i would think that John married Phoebe
around 1820 ish.

1841 LOOKUPS Worcester

rogerj67 — 1 May 2005 5:19:24 GMT

It is a big ask but could somebody please look up details of the following families for me who should have been all living at Worcester at the Census of 1841.

1. John Wales of Worcester b.1780 or thereabouts (only a wild guess) and his second wife Mary Finch b.1798 at St John Bedwardine, children at home possibly Martha Ann Wales b.1831 and Thomas Breary Wales b.1842

2. Martin Wales (son of the above John Wales) b.1810 Worcester, his wife Martha Finch b.1812 Worcester, possibly living at The Vicarage, St Peter, and children possibly at home Martha Jane Wales b.1835, Martin Samuel Wales b.1836, Mary Ann Wales b.1839, Louisa Elizabeth Wales b.1841, and Matilda Wales b.1843

3. John Wales (junior) b.1819 Worcester married to ?

And the following families who should have been living at Claines.

4. George Lightband Wales b.1804 Claines, his wife Mary Ann Williams (or Ann Williams) b.1802 Birmingham, and children at home Thomas Wales b.1830, Martin Wales b.1832, George Wales b.1835 and Sarah Ann Wales (my great grandmother) b.1837. The intriguing thing is that in 1841 this particular family may have all changed their surname to Lightband and kept the middle name of Wales eg George Wales Lightband

5. John Thomasson (could be spelled Thommason) b.1815 Claines, his wife Mary Wales (daughter of John Wales) b.1814 Worcester and children John Lightband Thomasson b.1839 Claines, Frederick Thomasson b.1842 Claines and Martin George Thomasson b.1845 Claines

Details of names, ages, birth places, occupations and families would be very helpful to me in trying to sort out the family tree from this distance.

Jeremiah P McCarthy was born in Stourport on the 30th April 1894. His father was Charles McCarthy born Bandon, Co. Cork, Ireland, his mother was Jane O'Regan probably born in Ireland.

His siblings were:

Josephine (Jo)
Gertrude
Christine (Chris)
Margaret (Peg)
Kathleen
Denis

Would some kind person please do a lookup in the 1901 census, I can return the favour as I have access to all US census.

Holloway family of Upton-on-Severn, Worcestershire

Anyone know of the Holloway family residing in Upton on Severn? Richard was b. ~1792 in Upton and lived there until his death in 1876. He married Sarah Brook in 1815 in Tewkesbury and had at least four children: George, William, Ann (single mum) & James. Sarah died ~1839. Richard and George were bricklayers/masons.

I suspect that they were non-conformist as there is no record of Richard's birth in the parish registers.

Evesham - Cowl Street

nick19924 — 30 Oct 2007 9:23:18 GMT

evening all, I am looking for information about William Faulkner and his wife Susan who in 1861 were resident in Evesham, Worcs. The census handwriting is difficult but they were lodging in a place that reads something like Upper Mill Hill. Adjacent census pages suggest they are near to Cowl Street. They were nailmakers by occupation. I suspect they were living in some large hostel provided by an employer, and I wonder if anyone knows who that employer might have been, what might "upper mill" refer to for example?

I am following this avenue of enquiry as the 1861 census is the earliest record I have of William Faulkner. His marriage to Susan (nee Palmer, of Bristol) must have happened sometime prior to 1861 but I can find no record of it. In 1871 they had moved to Dudley, and by 1881 they were in Bristol. Perhaps they married in the Evesham area in the mid to late 1850s? Any scraps of info gratefully received!

Does anyone know why this name has turned up in Dudley?

Job Jeavons and McCarthy link in Ohio

Chessteruk — 23 Aug 2008 11:35:22 GMT

Hello everyone

My ancestor Charlotte McCarthy (1872) was born in Stourbridge, West Midlands, England. She married Job Jeavons (1870) from Wolverhampton, West Midlands.
Job and Charlotte Jeavons emigrated to the USA and they show up in the 1920 USFC records in Ohio, West Virginia.
I live in England, but wondered if anyone across the pond is a descendant?

Kenelm Winslow Kempsey, England - Descrepencies

Rachelle_Powers — 11 Aug 2008 6:12:06 GMT

Hoping someone can help me here as a lot of folks seem to be familiar with this family.

I am a descendent of Josias Winslow (brother of Pilgrim Edward) who is the grandson of Kenelm Winslow of Kempsey, Worcestershire, England. I have found conflicting reports of Kenelm's parents. Some say that his parents are William Winslow and Mary Bucke, other say that William and Mary are his brother and sister in law and that his parents are actually Thomas Winslow and Lady Cecelia Agnes Tansey. That would mean Kenelm's father was 81 (according to popular dates for them) when Kenelm was born. Some sources say that Thomas and Lady Tansley were Kenelm's grandparents, not parents. Does anyone have any insight here? Preferably some actual documentation.

Thanks a bunch! Rachelle

Goodwins in Kidderminster

I'm tracing ancestry of Samuel GOODWIN b.3 June 1846 in Kidderminster; m.31 July 1899 Kidderminster to Mary Maria STANLEY; d.31 July 1898.
Samuel's father is believed to be Thomas GOODWIN b, about 1800 (possibly in Ombersley). I have been unable so far to trace birth cert from GRO so would be grateful of any info to determine mother's name.

Samuel's children were:
Thomas Stanley Goodwin b. 7 June 1870
George William Goodwin b. 27 October 1872
Susannah Mary Goodwin b. 29 December 1874
Henry Llewellyn Goodwin b. December 1876
Harriet Helen Goodwin b. 16 January 1879
Cyril Fayle Goodwin b. 3 March 1882
Minnie Jane Goodwin b. 27 March 1885

Family lore says that there was a connection to the local flour makers T K Goodwin - any leads on this would be appreciated.

Griffin brick wall - married or not?

johnshelley93 — 4 Aug 2008 12:20:17 GMT

Thomas Griffin was born in Leigh with Bransford on 20th November 1822, and later married Rebecca Wood of the same village in 1845.

In Thomas' birth record his mother is listed as Maria, a single woman, and Thomas a bastard. No father is listed. However on his marriage certificate his father is marked as Thomas, a cordwainer. It seems Thomas knew his father, but did his parents ever marry?

I've not been able to confirm a marriage record on LDS for the elder Thomas and Maria (either a Thomas Griffin marrying a Maria, or a Maria Griffin marrying a Thomas). As the younger Thomas was listed as illegitimate at birth, would Griffin have been his mothers name rather than his fathers? Even if his father was known?

Hello all

Is anyone able to check the abov index for a marriage for me please?

I am trying to find a Joseph Glover marrying an Eliza ??
between 1814~1820 in the worcs area.Joseph states on census years that he was born in Blackston nr Bewdley.Eliza states
Upton,so itmay well be within these areas.Joseph was born 1786/7 and Eliza 25 December 1794.

By about 1820 they are both in the Camberwell area of London were they remained until they died.

There is a posilbility that Eliza's surname could be Hay or Marsden but not really 100% sure.

Any help most greatly appreciated.

He was the eldest son of Falke ( I think ) & died in 1824. His wife was Elizabeth Dinelery of Charlton. He had son Francis who had a son called Thomas who was knighted in 1681. His wife was Margaret. The memorial is of Thomas' widow & son kneeling down in front of him as he is lying down dead. It is beautiful.If anyone wants to see it e.mail.............karenpjones61@hotmail.co.uk

Tickles From Droitwich

tanyalang — 13 Jul 2008 1:36:02 GMT

I am looking for any information on the Tickle/Tickell family who lived in Droitwich from the late 17th century to at least the late 18th century. They descend from George Tickle who married Elizabeth Hanley in 1689 in Astley, Worcestershire, and then moved to Droitwich. The only information I have on them is from the IGI indexes, and I am hoping that there is someone out there who has more (maybe descendants researching the same family). Thanks in advance.

Marriages of George Tickell

tanyalang — 9 Jul 2008 12:18:01 GMT

I am trying to find the date of the marriage of George Tickell to Mary, which occurred about 1786 in Droitwich, and which doesn't appear in the IGI indexes.

I'm also trying to find the marriage of George Tickell's parents, George and Mary who, I believe, were married somewhere in the period between 1853 (when George senior would have been) 20 and 1766 (when George junior was born), at a time also not covered by the IGI indexes.

If anyone knows when either of these marriages took place, or have access to the Droitwich records and can help, I'd be very grateful. Since I don't know the maiden names of either of the Marys finding these marriages will give me two more lines to try and research.

Tickells of Droitwich/Astley

tanyalang — 5 Jul 2008 12:50:48 GMT

I have traced my Tickell back to Droitwich, at least in theory. I have yet to get hold of any transcripts (only got IGI indexes). My earliest Tickell ancestor was George Tickell who married Elizabeth Hanley (or Stanley) in Astley, Worcester, in 1689 All of his children were born and baptised in Droitwich and the family remained there for some generations. I would appreciate any information to add to the bare bones of indexes of baptisms and marriages. I'd also appreciate it if anyone has a record of that first George's descendant's (also called George) marriage to a Mary around 1786 in Droitwich. The marriage appears to fall right into a gap in the IGI indexes.

Finally, I'd welcome any information regarding that first George's parentage: his birth doesn't appear anywhere in the indexes. Thanks in advance.
