Title: Fenwick Family
Post by: julie333 on Saturday 19 April 08 13:33 BST (UK)
Wondering if anyone can help, I'm try to find any family information on my gg grandfather, Edward Fenwick born around 1865, married to Margaret. I think they were from the Northumberland area.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Julie

Julie can't find Edward Fenwick born circa 1865 on any census. I have looked at all the censuses from 1901 to 1871. Have you any other information that might identify him?

Hi Margaret
The only information I have is from his son's death cert.
 Who was Thomas Fenwick b.1885 d. 1944 Kelso Scotland. We believe Thomas moved to Scotland around 1916.
Thomas' parents: Edward Fenwick (gameskeeper) and Margaret either Tait or Pait.
Thank you so much for checking for me.

Hi Julie, I am trying out information on my gg grandfather which was George Fenwick who married Sarah Raine. They had 12 children all together, one of them was a Edward born 1883, he married a Margaret Graham.  Does this sound familiar or just a random coincidence.

HO107/2418
1851
East Chevington,N'land
Edward Fenwick, 32, farm lab, b Bockerfield
Jane F, 30, b Flatterton
Edward F jun, 3, b Hagg House
Jane F, 1, dau, b Broomhill

In 1861 his place of birth is Woodhorn, but it's back to Hagg House by 1881.

Possible birth: Edward Fenwick   Mar 1848   Morpeth (includes Woodhorn).

Looking at the 1841 it looks as though Edward sen is son of another Edward.

I can give you details of any of the censuses if you want.

Richard,
Thank you so much for the information, sorry its taken so long to get back to you, I've been away on holiday. I really appreciate getting the information of their marriage,  knowing Margaret's name will be a big help as I'm hoping to trace her family back too. I do have some of the censuses for Edward Fenwick, but I was wondering if you could tell me is there a place to get the birth cert., death cert., or marriage cert., for England? 
Thanks again
Julie

Hi Kym

I've checked my records and I don't see a George Fenwick, not to say there isn't a connection somewhere, I'll let you know if anything comes up.
