Worcestershire / Re: GUISE, William, 1630c. Worcester
« on: Thursday 14 April 22 04:23 BST (UK) »
All good, Trish. I've been doing this stuff for enough years to know my way around but the older you get the harder it is to put in the amount of research time good work takes. Still, it is my passion so I plod on. I have been doing work for others as I have gone as far as possible with my own lines and those of husband plus a wide range of relatives. You can cover a lot of ground in 37 years. I'm taking some time out to get on with other jobs in my garden and hopefully give the brain and eyes a rest for a few days at least. I could go back to transcription work to answer some of these questions but I don't feel my eyes are up to that challenge any more. The "bad ink" sections are killers. Thank you again for your interest.

Thank you Trish for answering so quickly. Yes, you are correct about William Guyse and his mother. I found this information myself after posting the message and realized I had a misconnection with William. I have spent several hours going through every source I can find to get back on track. I have a William Guise who married a Joan Freezie (can't help but feel that name has been wrongly read but no Parish Register to cross check it) on 26 Nov 1664 at St. Andrews, Droitwich, Worcestershire. Their son Thomas, bap. 17 Sep 1665 at the same place, is the ancestor I've been tracing. It seemed logical William Guise would have been born around the 1630's to early 1640's. Although he could have been much older on his second or third marriage - it happens. The thing was finding that birth for William. I have found another "possible" birth in 1641 to a John and Joane Guyse but either these two were very mobile or there are a few other couples with the same names in the same time frame. It is a difficult time frame for finding reliable information with so little in the way of extra details. I have found an earlier family in the right location of Droitwich but can't get the connection to them yet. They are William Guyse and Alice Partridg married 10 Jun 1626 in Droitwich and most the children born both before and after the marriage are also baptised there. Their son Thomas seemed a good "possible" but I have yet to find that connection. As they say, just keep looking.

I am currently working on a William Guise in Droitwich, Worcestershire in the 1600's however the only William Guise I have was christened in 1645 to a William Guyse, so possibly not yours.

Ireland / Re: Whiteboys in Ireland..."transported" in the 1830s to Australia as convicts
« on: Monday 18 July 11 03:00 BST (UK) »
Hi Allycat,
My gg granduncle was sent to Australia for "swearing unlawful oaths" in association with the theft of arms in Tipperary. He was Denis Dillon Martin and he arrived in 1835 on the "Hive 2" which was sunk in Wreck Bay, just south of Sydney. Only one life was lost, most made it to shore. I too am very proud of Denis. My gg grandfather Michael, followed him out in 1855, along with other family members, so we have Denis to thank for coming to this Country.

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for information on Cooke family of Leafield
« on: Wednesday 03 September 08 07:54 BST (UK) »
Hi Toby,
Maybe I have the place name wrong. On the immigration index, William and Edward Cooke are stated as coming from Layfield, Oxfordshire. As there doesn't appear to be a Layfield, I thought the name must be Leafield. Was there a Layfield in Oxfordshire?
Many thanks for having a look.

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Looking for information on Cooke family of Leafield
« on: Wednesday 03 September 08 05:48 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for information on the births/christenings of Edward and William Cooke, brothers, who were from Leafield, Oxfordshire and born in or about 1814 and 1816. They emigrated to Australia in 1841.
Any information on them, their parents and any siblings would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
