Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Turton in Chilbolton
« on: Thursday 13 July 17 22:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi Heather, thanks for your reply.

My husband is descended from Joshua Turton, born abt 1784 in Chilbolton, son of Edward Turton and Ann Young. This Joshua dies in 1874 in the Isle of Wight and his wife was Elizabeth Judd who he married in 1806.

I have no information on Edward Turton, other than he married in 1782 in Chilbolton and had 8 children that I've traced.

Cheers,
Sally

Hi Jen,

Yes, I got all hopeful when I saw the family especially as the spouse is a Frances. Sadly, I can't find a John born abt 1852 with them on the 1861/1871 census, so I'm still none the wiser...

Thanks for the reply.

Regards,
Sally

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm actually helping someone out with their family tree, and don't have too much to go on at the moment. I have no information on siblings/relations of John's and no certification as yet - although I think that I've narrowed the marriage down to a John Douglas/Margaret Ann Bell in Newcastle 1874 - and I was just wondering whether there would be something obvious in a parish register that would point him out.

John was a sometime Cooper by trade, and looking for naming patterns in his children, there is a Frances that occurs quite early on which could be a nod to his mum, and a William but that's all I've got so far.

My friend knows nothing about this family at all, except that she thought there was a money connection with them..... don't we all  ;D


Regards,
Sally

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Blagdon or Blaydon
« on: Sunday 29 January 12 15:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I have a John Douglass/Douglas who was born abt 1851 or 1852 in either Blaydon or Blagdon, depending on where you look.

1881 census says Blaydon, Durham
1891 census says Blakeden, Northumberland
1901 census says Blagdon, Northumberland
1911 census looks like Blaydon - but other lower case g formations also look like ys - with no county shown.

There are no clear census sightings for this chap using either Blagdon and Blaydon, nor his surname with or without the added s prior to 1881.

Does anyone have any access to the baptismal registers for these places to see if anyone matches the criteria?

Many thanks.

Regards,
Sally

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851, 1861 Census Wingrave - BONHAM
« on: Sunday 23 January 11 18:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Tigerlily

I have a friend who's possibly related to the Bonhams of Wingrave. In his tree I have an Alfred Bonham born abt 1860 in Exeter, Devon. His parents seemed to have travelled around a bit as I have 3 children traced so far...

George born abt 1850 in Wingrave
Alfred (as mentioned)
Edward born abt 1863 in Aylesbury.

I'm hoping the children relate to the marriage of a Thomas Bonham born abt 1813 in Wingrave and Elizabeth (?) born abt 1828 in Woolwich, Kent.

Elizabeth went on to marry twice more and I have her from 1871 onwards, but the crucial 1861 census entry still eludes me. Do you know of this family?

Regards,
Sally

Hello Nell,

Many thanks for such a prompt and full reply!

I will check my notes against the children that I have - I think the eldest John has been included into my group in error.

Joshua and Elizabeth Turton are my husband's Greatx4 grandparents.

Regards,
Sally

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Turton in Chilbolton
« on: Sunday 02 January 11 14:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm looking for any information on a family called Turton from Chilbolton.

The family - Joshua and Elizabeth (parents), John, James, Hannah, Edward, Selena, Thomas, Joshua, Mary and George (born between 1805 - 1821) moved up to the Hillingdon/Yiewsley area in Middlesex. Joshua was a shoemaker.

Does anyone have any information on Joshua Turton (born abt 1784) and Elizabeth ? (born abt 1780) who both claimed to have been born in Chilbolton?

Many thanks,

Sally

Hi Ray,

Yes, the entry on Ancestry.com is shown as the marriage having taken place in Harlow. When you look at the original page entry via the link, the place is definitely Harrow. In fact, it's not the first time I've now seen this error.

I triple checked my order to make sure I had the correct information before I ordered from the GRO  :)

Thanks for the prompt, though.

Sally
