Hi
I have looked through the 1901 census and cannot find Thomas Bull.

I then went back to 1891 and found this who is very likely Lydia, bear in mind in 1901 there is a Sophia Wright living with her.

1891 census

Lydia A Wright, servant , age 17, general servant domestic born Northants Bugbrook.

She was servant to a family called Reynolds in Padbury.

RG12/1155
ed 8 folio 94 page 8
civil parish of Padbury

and here is the 1881 census for Lydia

Sophia Wright, widow, age 34, widow of labourer at iron furnace born Northants Bugbrooke
Caroline E, daughter, age 11, domestic servant born Bugbrooke
George, son, age 10, scholar born Bugbrooke
Lydia A,daughter, age 7, scholar born Bugbrooke
Emily, daughter, age 4 born Bugbrooke
Anne, daughter, age 1 born Bugbrooke

RG11/1555
ed 1 folio 11 page 16
civil parish of Bugbrooke

and this would be the1871 census for Lydias family

Samuel Wright, age 20, ag lab born Northants Lower Heyford
Sophia,wife, age 26, lace maker, born Northants Bugbrooke
Caroline E, daughter, age 1 born Bugbrooke
George, son,age 3 weeks born Bugbrooke

RG10/1489
ed 1 folio 9 page 11
civil parish of Bugbrooke

I looked on the 1891 for Thomas Bull and there is an 18 year old born Padbury. If you think this maybe your Thomas let me know and I can post the census info,his parents are listed as Edwin and Hannah.

[Hi Nicky,

This sounds like the Thomas Bull I am looking for. My grandmother never mentioned her family to us and I was going on information I gathered from snippets here and there.

The Samuel Wright family is the correct one I think. I have nothing on who his Parents would be, though. He must have been very young when Sophia and him were married.

Thanks so much for you help.

Alfred Biddlecombe is my great great grandfather. I'm the grandaughter of Fred who married Vera. They had four sons, John, Stanley, Robert and Henry.  I'm Henry's daughter.

Hi,

I know the following about Fred:

Fred came to Canada with Frank in 1905, worked for CPR and joined the Canadian Expidionary Forces during WW1. He stayed in England upon his discharge marrying Vera Alice Holen in Feb. 1920.

Frank was my grandfather, who died in 1950. My father Frank David, is Frank's oldest son. He had 5 children: Frank David, Arthur Frederick, George Ian, Evan James, and Marjorie Ann. All are living with the exception of Evan James, who died in 1979.

I would be very interested in communicating with you.

Wendy

Hi,

I’m looking into my ancestry . I’m the grand daughter of John Frederic Biddlecombe. My father was John Kenneth born in Bulawayo Rhodesia( Now Zimbabwe). I didn’t know my grandfather, but I know he was a Major in the British army while stationed in Rhodesia. I am interested to know any information you may have as to who he was, when he passed on and anything you are willing to share. Thanks

Hello,
My father is the son of John Frederic born 13 August 1920. He was posted to Rhodesia and met my grandmother Margret(Maggie) and they had my father John Kenneth born 18 January. 1944, 14 months later they had a daughter Elisabeth. Both my father and aunt are deceased. I know my aunt made contact with his brother some time back to his brother Henry. I was wondering if you’d like to chat further. I’m interested in my family history and would love to know more if possible. Thank you
