Hi Maz
I am also researching the AMOS surname but in different areas - Kent, Birmingham, Norfolk and Australia. I think that the family may have also been to Liverpool and Buxton but haven't been able to confirm this yet.
Haven't traced very far back as we are struggling to find our great, great-grandparents and their children in Kent during the 1870's. Our tree is going sideways at the moment as we have recently discovered a 'secret marriage' which has taken our research to Oz.
Although my family were born in Birmingham, my mom and aunt (both Amos') moved to Warwick in 1976 and are still living there now. If you are interested in any of the places I am looking, let me know and I will pass on any info I have that may help.
Bye for now

Hi Maz and all researching the Amos family,
I am researching the Amos family from Kent.
I think the branch of the family listed in the 1851 census are my ancestors and have more information on them for anyone interested:
George Amos born c1819 married Fanny Gray born c1828
on 27th August 1849 at St Pauls church Deptford.
Children:
Frances Mary Amos, born 18th December 1850, baptised 12th January at St Pauls, Deptford
William Amos born c1854
There may be other children of the marriage but these are the only two I've found so far. Any further information would be very welcome.
William Amos married Emily Jane Maryon born 12th May 1855, and baptised on 3rd June 1855 at St Mary Whitechapel, Stepney. (Emily's parents were Charles Maryon and Mary Ann nee??)
William and Emily's children:
Frances, born 1873
Mary Ann, born 1875
Louise, born 1879
Emily, born 1880
Henry William (my great-grandfather), born 1886
Lily, born 1889
In the 1891 census the family was living at 17 New King Street, St Paul's, Deptford. William's father george was living with the family and both William and George were working as hawkers.
I have more information on Henry's family if anyone wants it. I'd love to have information on William's other children and their descendents!
Thanks!

Hello Amos researchers,
I have a mention of a James Amos as an administrator of the Will of William Blades in 1891. He was then living at 22 Kingsland Road, London, Middlesex. There is also a John Samuel Amos as a witness at the second marriage of William Blades' father, also William, October 1839, which took place at Bethnal Green, so maybe there was an association between the familes for some years. In 1891, James Amos and William Blades were both metal merchants.

Joseph Amos was married (in 1858) to Emma Hilton. In 1861 census lived in Cheapside, Aston which is round the corner fron Bullring. Also moved to black country but don'y know when. Think he may have lived rough ot just travelled around working. He died in 1892 in the Greet area which was then in Yardley, Worc.
Still looking - and driving myself slowly crazy.

Hi Maz,
I have just seen this thread re the AMOS name. I've only just discovered that I have Mary WEST (b.1774 Nether Heyford) married Daniel AMOS in 1794 at Nether Heyford. Would you have anything on these for me please?

Hi Trish
Nice to hear from you.
Im afraid my Amos line is slow going, and Ive only the following from Lower Heyford and only 3 children out of 9 were born there - and parents were from Long Buckby. so there wouldnt be a connection as far as I can see at the moment. But definitely not saying theres isnt.
Jane - b 1864
Mary - b 1865
Thomas b 1872
parents = John and Dinah (nee Liddington)
The earliest Amos' Ive got were ...
William Amos who married Anne Wilson in 1779 Staverton Parish Church.
I shall look in my notes for you and get back to you if i find anything.
Happy hunting

Thanks for replying. I have the Heyford parish registers on permanent use at the LDS to look up my West family; now I know I have Amos as well I will look them up and see what turns up. Will keep you posted.

Hi all,
I too am researching AMOS. Different folks as far as I can see, but you never know.
Earliest is Thomas Amos who married Mary Paine in Hanslope Bucks, just across the Northants border, 17 Jan 1746.
My direct ancestors, James Amos and Fanny Taylor moved to Thrapston Northants in the 1800 teens. They were Baptists. Some of their children ended up in Woodford and Kettering, others in Aylesbury and London.

Hello Dethridge,
I have just received the birth cert for my grandfathers sister Alice Amos which gives her mothers maiden name as Ann Amos formerly Dethridge and her husbands name as Theophilus the cert was dated 1877. The Amos's cannot be found on the 1881/1871 census but appear to be round the Aston area by the way my surname is Amos. Hope this will help you with this search and any information you may have would be gratefully received
Regards,

Hello all :),
I have researched the Amos family also. My father was an Amos and his grandfather William Amos migragted from England in 1884 aboard The Ashmore with his wife Sarah (Packer). They are listed on UK census records as living in Doynton, Gloucestershire in 1861 and 1871 but in 1881 had moved to Clerkenwell, London. I live in Australia and I have no idea if these towns are near the ones you have all mentioned! Anyway glad to hear from anyone that has any info regarding the Amos line, cheers.

Hi Detheridge. I have loads of Amos who are actualy Ames. The name is often mispelt sometimes Amis Amys Eames and so on. Don't hold your breath but all mine are either brickmakers or gunmakers and yes I have two or three Solomons and Theophilis. Mostly come from Utoxeter, Abbotts bromley, Yoxall Leicester, Rugeley, Birmingham and Middlesex. If anyone has ancestors in those area's PM me with the details of who they are looking for I will do my best to help.

Hi All,
My GrGrGrandmother was Pemilla Amos born 1834 at Yate, Gloucester. She married Charles Grey in 1858 at Shipton Moyne and died of Typhoid Fever in 1867. On their marriage certificate it says her father is Thomas Amos a labourer. I think Thomas Amos may have died soon after Pemilla's birth and her mother remarried as she is listed as an Amos on the 1841 census living with Mary and Thomas Pearce but on the 1851 census she is listed as a Pearce. I have hit a brick wall trying to find further information on my Amos family.
