Post by: lucaduca on Sunday 04 November 07 20:47 GMT (UK)
I am seeking info of my gg'grandfather Henry Warren born 1816-17 in Devonport, his wife Amelia Penicud or Pennicot born 1813 also of Devonport,
they married in 1840 in lambath london, I have them on 1861 Westminster census with their  seven children. I have been trying to find their births but to no avail, awaiting with great hope and  anticipation for your replies.
Many Thanks.

hello

On the 1861 it gives place of birth for the children

AmeliaH 19, Annie E 18, james17 all Birmingham, Warwickshire
Edward P 12 Stour bridge Worcestershire.
(freeBMD has Edward Penioud Languin Warren b sep1/4 1848 Stourbridge)
Emma J 10 Plymouth Devonshire
(free BMD has Emma Jane b sep1/4 1850 Plymouth)
Robert 8 Berkhampstaed Hertfordshire
Elizabeth 2 Westminster Middlesex

I will look for others.
Do you have other census that confirms place of birth as these seem well travelled?

Did you get the marriage certificate, to obtain the names of their fathers?
You will have to look in parish records for births that early, and you would need the father's name.

The IGI from 'familysearch' has these,

1. HENRY WARREN 
Gender: Male Christening: About 23 JAN 1817 Kenn, Devon, England
   2. HENRY WARREN -
Gender: Male Christening: 23 MAY 1820 Crediton, Devon, England

Nothing on there for Amelia.

Hi

You won't know you have the right couple until you get the cert with the fathers' names and occupation, and the groom's occupation.

Have you got a birth cert of one of the children for mother's maiden name?
This would also give you father's occupation.  This can be a help in tracking them down in the census.

Hi Silvery, what I do have is a  free BMD marriage in Lambeth september 1840
vol 4 page 238, marriage of  Amelia Penicud and Henry Warren, this was sent to me
by a distant cousin,  my grandfather james william henry warren was born 1845
in birmingham at some stage he came to Australia and married Grace Stephens in 1875 in Victoria, there is a little of this on Familysearch.org   in Ancestral file.
many thanks Lucaduca

Yes.  That is the marriage cert you will need to get for the fathers' names, so that you can be sure who you are tracing.

Have you got your grandfather's birth certificate which will show his mother's maiden name?

Kenn, Devon, is near Exeter.  Devonport is Plymouth.

Hi Silvery, no  I have nothing at all on paper and of course they are all gone,  should I apply to Devon office for marriage or birth cert', which of these would give me the most info. regards Lucaduca

BIRTH cert would give you the father's name and occupation, and the mother's maiden name.   
 
But the MARRIAGE cert would give this information plus their ages and their fathers' names which is extremely useful in tracing them, and the father's name could be a reference point for the birth certificate. (So you could eliminate any with the wrong father)

You have the reference for the marriage cert.
Order from the General Register Office (GRO) cost £7

Marriages Sep 1840   (>99%)

WILLMOT    Thirza Letford         Lambeth    4   23

Do you have a reference number for the birth cert? (for James William b1845 - where was he born - can't see him on freebmd.)

The child born 1848 has a VERY similar middle name to Amelia's maiden name, do I am inclined to think it may be the correct marriage

Births Sep 1848   (>99%)
Warren    Edward Penioud Languin        Stourbridge    18   518

If you are certain of the children it may be worth getting at least one of their birth certs, just to confim the mother's maiden name (mmn).

Silvery, thank you for all that ,no, I do not have a reference number for the birth cert, where did you see Edward's names? I am  not certain about anything but you have given me much more than I 've ever had,very good

I can't find James William b1845 on the IGI at the moment, tho I'm not sure what you mean by 'ancestral search'.  However that doesn't surprise me! (being me)   >:(

Perhaps you had better come forward in time, in order to work back.

Have you got your grandfather's marriage certificate?

Who did your grandfather marry?  It would be better to start with him, and then check backwards.  Go through the census etc. But someone else will need to come in here, because I don't have an ancestry sub at the moment.

 From your grandfather's marriage certificate you would be sure of the name of his father. 
But we can check for the marriage on freebmd. http://www.freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl if we have the name of his wife.

Do you know who your grandfather's siblings were? 

[ Jane - message three - had Edward b1848 details -  from the census.]

Can't find James William b1845 on Ancestral File either. 

What was his wife's name?  first name might do.

Blimey   :-[ :-[ :-[  what a ......... I am.  You DID say in one of the replies married to Grace Stephens, Australia.   Oh Oh Oh  Pay attention silvery.

I was searching in UK.  Right got it!  So you are happy with the census returns info etc etc.  Forget marriage cert for your grandfather.  My fault.   

Just that marriage cert then for Amelia and Henry 1840, for the father's names.  Then you can go back - possibly on the igi.   It may be that one from Kenn, you never know.  It's definitely igi or parish records for that time.

It's a nice very early marriage cert to have.  My earliest is 1853.  And then they fade out in Ireland.  No chance of finding them.

Silvery I will apply on line for Henry's marriage cert , which program did you find Edward's second name, I find that name unusual. For the past 15yrs i have been searching my Mother'sCornwall side, Reseigh, Colenso weymouth, White, hocking etc, then my Welsh Bowens which has been very difficult but lately i've had some luck, my g'g' grandmother was irish Sarah Burns  1823 she married James Crothers of Illogan cornwall,it could go on forever ,but I so enjoy searching.quote author=silvery link=topic=266140.msg1511646#msg1511646 date=1194300449]

Glad you aren't mad at me !

Births Sep 1848 
Warren    Edward Penioud Languin        Stourbridge    18   518

That is from freebmd 
http://www.freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

It is just very circumstantial with the middle name.  Amelia Penicud on the marriage reference, they are just so alike. (given odd pronunciation, accents, spelling and so on).  I wonder why they gave him that middle name, he's not the eldest or anything.

Freebmd is very good, but it wasn't compulsory to register until 1875 (I think about that year).  That is where the marriage reference is from.  Penicud/Penicott etc sounds vaguely Cornish to me.  I wouldn't be surprised. 

You're so lucky having English ancestry.  Mine are nearly all Irish. I had one Welsh Jones line.  My, but they seemed to throw themselves at me, which was most unusual.  And it was all confirmed by another researcher I so so wish I had an Enlgish line to research.  My ex-OH has a lovely English background. Did it for the family.  Managed to get wills and all sorts.

Well I hope Edward is yours.  Let us know how you get on.
