Yorkshire (West Riding) / Jonas Fozard
« on: Tuesday 08 March 11 20:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hello

I am looking for my ancestor Jonas Fozard. He married Esther Hardcastle on the 20th May 1702 in Birstall Parish. I am looking for a baptism for him between 1670 and 1680 in the Birstall or Adwalton areas.

Many thanks

Elise

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Stephen DeBusk & Stephen LeBusque - are they the same person?

Hello

I am researching this name  (De Busk) for my neighbour whose ancestry includes the De Busk family from Sheffield.

I found a Stephen De Busk in the criminal records on Ancestry who also went by the alias of Copley, he was convicted once for larceny in 1823 and sentenced to death for house breaking in 1826 under the name of Busque and as you say tried at the Derby Assizes but I found some info through googling the name Stephen Copley that suggests he was transported to Tasmania on the ship Andromeda which arrived at Van Diemans land on 23 Feb 1827. This information states :Stephen Le Busque alias  Copley. Derbyscourts.com/index/data/1826html

If this is one and the same person which I am pretty sure is the case  according to the evidence found..he was born in Sheffield in 1803 to John Debusk and Mary France who married in Rotherham Yorks in 1794.

John Debusk was baptised in Saint Martin in the Fields Westminster London 2 July 1771 and his parents were John De Busk and Sophia. This is as far as I have got. My neighbour descends from Stephens brother Thomas De Busk and she is very interested to know what happened to Stephen!  So if you think all this relates to your ancester we would be interested to know what happened to him after that when he presumably called himself Lebusque.

Best wishes

Hello again Odessa

thanks so much  again for your reply and the information... that has helped a lot. The dates you found on the graves  for the deaths of Samuel and Margaret match the info for their burials I had and  yes they are the parents of John. But the other information  regarding the deaths of their children I did not have at all so that gives me something else to go on.

Best wishes

Hello Odessa

Many thanks that does look like the right family.

My John was married to a Sarah and the baptism of Samuel you found is the one I found online... he is my Great Great Grandfather.

I think the grave you found is my John and Sarah, if John died in 1833 aged 36 (I have that burial but not the grave details) then that fits with the baptism I have of  a John born 1797 to a Samuel and Margaret and as John and Sarahs children are John, Samuel, Margaret  Mary and John I think  I am on the right track so to speak.

Thanks again for your help, it is harder when you are miles away from your roots.

Cheshire / John Woodward Weaverham

Hello

I am new on here, and just wondered if anyone had any information on the above person.

He was the father of my 2 x Great Grandfather Samuel Woodward who was born in Weaverham Northwich in 1826.

On Samuels marriage certificate it states that John was a farmer.

I am looking for a marriage of John to a Sarah sometime between 1815 and 1825. I have found a birth for him in 1797 and a possible death in 1833 but am struggling with the marriage. I am in Dorset so cannot get to the archives easily.

If anyone can help I would be grateful

Many thankss
