Hi,
This is a long shot I think.
Does anyone have any information about a Seymour family, living in Curridge, round about 1860 ( could be 10 years either side).
Many thanks,
Shona

Any Christian names would be a huge help please

Hi Louisa,
That’s great, thanks!
This is info for my sister in law, her husband had ancestors from this area.
She’s given me this info:
William George Seymour, aka George Seymour, married first (?) Frances Mary Beckett 1895 in Chieveley. She died 1896.
Married 2nd, Florence Ellen Hostler/Ostler (spelling?) in Mattingley 1899.
Any further info appreciated.
Thank you,
Shona

Problem seems name changed from Seymore/Seymour
Any idea when William George was born?

Hi, this is the bit my sister in law is trying to find....birth date and place of birth.
Think she’s probably tried Ancestry.
Thanks,

A William George Seymour's birth was registered at Newbury registration district in Q1 1865 volume 2c page 242.
Newbury registration district includes Chievely.
-
If that birth is correct we need to find a marriage between Seymour and Gibbs as MMN shown as Gibbs
Louisa Maud

Not sure about this BUT
Eli Seymour
married Ellen Gibbs
1859
Newbury, just hold on to that one for now

Hi Louisa,
Apparently my sister in law thought that entry was for the William George she was looking for, but she followed him through and found his death entry. William George’s father was George according to the two marriage certificates.
So don’t think this is the family she’s looking for!
Thank for help!

What a shame we didn't know his father's name sooner
Louisa Maud

Sorry, my fault! I put the initial post out as a long shot....you replied so rapidly, which was great!
It was during our conversations that I was given more info.
Appreciate your help, sorry if it caused you any inconvenience.

Not to worry, back to tbe drawing board, made a change for taking about tbe virus and keeping apart from others by distancing

If your friend has info on the marriage what age was he when he married, I notice his first wife died in 1895 aged 18, I wonder how old William George/ George as, also what was his father's occupation

Hi Louisa,
Hahahaha! Thanks for all that! I will pass it on to my sister in law and see if there’s a match!
Quite agree, it does make a nice change from the madness!
Take care, I’ll let you know if anything comes of it!
Shona
-
My sister in law says thank you so much!
She thinks THAT George is most probably him, as Joseph was a witness at his marriage.
Thank you again!

George the father I believe was a shepherd that should also be on the cert
