Hi Geoff
I am researching the family name of Maskey. I have got back to about 1800 when the family was living in Clerkenwell London. I am pretty sure that the family moved from Lincolnshire to London at about that time, but have not yet been able to make any confirmed links.
If you have any info, can we swap our research details?

Hi,
I am trying to search the surname of Rutter. I know they were in Lincolnshire during at least the latter part of the 1800s

Hi,
A late response but it's the first time that I have tried this, I have a Elizabeth (Betsy) Fisher who married William Winkley Glaskin in Long Sutton 8/06/1836.

Hi Rids,
My FISHER connection is a generation before yours.
Elizabeth FISHER married John MASKEY 1779 at Long Sutton.
John died in 1786 and Elizabeth then married Richard WINFREY.
My connection stems from the first marriage and her son John b 1785.
He was sentenced in 1805 to transportation to New South Wales for stealing stockings and gloves.
Your BETSY could be some connection to my Elizabeth, but unfortunately I have no idea how as yet.
Cheers

Hi
Looking for information on the Ream family of Long Sutton, Lincolnshire.
I have a William Ream and Betsy Wroot married in Long Sutton in 1811 and they have eight children.
Can anyone do an 1841 or 1851 look-up on the census for me and see if you can locate them.
I am wondering if he is the same William Ream from Gedney, Lincolnshire, who is married to an Ann and has nine children between 1789 and 1808. William and Betsy's first child is christened in Gedney.
Any more info on the Reams of Long Sutton always appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hello Geoff,
Have you anything on Mahala SMITH christened Long Sutton (according to the LDS IGI) on 18 Nov 1826. Her parents were stated as Thos. Smith and Dinah Phillis.
Trawling through other Smiths of Long Sutton I came across what might be her siblings, namely Elizabeth (chr 3 Aug 1830), William Bowles (chr 2 Dec 1818 and Dinah (chr 11 Oct 1824) parents were all Thomas and Dinah Phillis.
Other possibilities were Lewis (chr 6 Jul 1823, Long Sutton) parents Thomas and Diana, and Ephraim (chr 9 Sep 1816, Long Sutton) parents Thomas and Dyphenes.
Please surprise me and say you have buckets of fresh information for this family.
Living in hopes,
David

Hi David,
I have nothing on Mahala SMITH, sorry,
Her father Thomas maybe of interest though.
My SMITH connection comes with the marriage of Thomas MASKEY & Ann SMITH in 1803.
This is a generation before your family.
When you get back a further generation maybe we can help each other out.
Cheers

Hi Geoff
I have an entry from UK census for 1861 of Stowe Wilcox born Long Sutton, Lincolnshire. Can find no other entries, but I have a marriage certificate for William Wilcox, born 1841 in Australia, married 16th July 1871 in London England to Charlotte Ridout born 1848 in London . The certificate shows William's father as Stowe Wlicox. Can you help please?
Thanks
Ray

He is still there in 1871 but age is wrongly transcribed (search for Stow* Wil*) - this time he is a labourer but in 1861 was a Chelsea Pensioner. Shown as married in both Census but wife not there.
On the IGI there is a Stow Willcock who marries a Sarah Cade
In 1787 a Michael Willcock married Mary Stow at Long Sutton - I should think Stow connected to them.
I do not know whether you would be able to find anything from Chelsea Out Pensioner Records

Thanks Jacky
I've seen the Stow Willcock and Mary Cade entry but that was in 1835; his son William was born 1841, so he's out. William is my Great grandfather and it's his parents I'm after.
The 1787 entry looks interesting but when did they travel to Australia to give birth to William?
William was also a Chelsea Pensioner so I guess that will have to be my next port of call, but it's so much easier to sit and press keys to get an answer.

It's all about clutching at straws, but I've just done the calculation and if Michael Willcock married at 16 he would have been 70 when William was born - a bit unlikely.
So it looks like back to the drawing board. Of course William's father might have been Australian.

I doubt that I thought you said that William was the son of Stow - if Stow married in 1835, would'nt that fit. I would think that Stow a child or grandchild of Michael
I dont know whether British Soldiers went to Australia accompying convicts but it might be worth exploring as Stow was a Chelsea out pensioner.
I am ashamed to admit that I have never been to Kew - I must build up courage and go. So far I have managed with trips to Archives and SOG, Ancestry and spending far too much money on Fiche and discs (at least that is what my husband says)
Good hunting - much more interesting than the usual AG Lab trail
Best regards,
Jacky

I don't think Jacky was suggesting that Michael was William's father. Rather she was suggesting that when a WILLCOCK decided to name a son Stow, the 1787 marriage of a WILLCOCK to a STOW was the source of this rather unusual forename. Will was more likely a grandson or great grandson of that union.
They begat at least ten children, but none baptised with forename Stow.
Perhaps their son Michael was subtitled Stow to avoid being confused with his father. These things happened.

I didnt not mean to write doubt - I meant to write " I thought"
Apologies

Brain's not in gear, I was thinking Stow Willcock was born 1835 but he was married then, so he and Mary Cade look favourites so far. All I've got to do is get them to Australia by 1841.

You mention the 1787 marriage begat at least 10 children, I suppose you can't link any of them going to Australia can you. Bit of a long shot, but you could be correct that the 1787 Michael could have been my William's grandfather

No, afraid not. There was a Timothy WILCOX of Surfleet (b 1802) transported in 1823, that's all.
