Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Grass family connection
« on: Wednesday 01 April 20 02:31 BST (UK) »
Hello Grassy,
My G/mother was Isabella Grass who married Thomas Hancock. Her parents was George Grass and Charlotte Whittle a widow by the name Charlotte Fuller.
As Rootschat do not allow personal emails to be shown I'm not sure as to the convenient way contact you.
Regards,
Peter Hancock

Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Grass family connection
« on: Monday 09 November 15 06:31 GMT (UK) »
G,day terry-Holland,
I'm very pleased to make contact with a descendent of my maternal side of the family.
Isabella is also my g/g mother who was married to Thomas Hancock on 25 Feb 1883 in Burslem. When he died in 1887 she married Mathew Riley as you would probably know. Their only child was George William Hancock, my g father, hence the connection, Our family migrated to Whyalla in 1956 and since then we are scattered around all the states.
I live in the northern suburbs of Adelaide in Craigmore.
Would be very pleased to make further contact with you if you require any info on both the Hancock/Riley tribe.

Shropshire / Re: G/G/G father Edward Paddock married Elizabeth ?
« on: Tuesday 01 September 15 06:22 BST (UK) »
G'day chempat,
My apologies for the oversight on the previous page & the delay in replying as I have been waiting the arrival of the M/C of Edward & Elizabeth.
As stated by you, the m/c shows Edward's surname as Parrock, not Paddock which has not helped in determining if I have the correct couple. The M/C also states they were married on 10 or 18 of Nov 1856 at Montford & Edward's father is Thomas, not John as I have. Could his name have been mis-understood & written incorrectly & was Parrock a common name within the Shropshire area. Also was this a common happening with certificates back then as most people were illiterate & would not know if their name was written incorrectly. I have searched various search sites in the hope that an Edward Parrock married a Elizabeth Adams at around the same time but have found nothing to confirm this.

Thanks again to all for the further info;
Yes the 'Warrock' misspelled name on the 1861 census is the Paddock family.
Have now found a tree on ancestry that gives Edward's wife as Elizabeth Adams, now to find their marriage place & date.

Shropshire / G/G/G father Edward Paddock married Elizabeth ?
« on: Saturday 01 August 15 06:47 BST (UK) »
I am trying to identify the correct Edward Paddock who married a Elizabeth ?, possibly between 1852 & 1957. The 1871 census shows his wife, Elizabeth born in Codsall, Stafford, but the 1881 census shows her as being born in Shrawardine, Shropshire. Finding her surname is part of my search. Their children in the 1881 census are;
Thomas, born c 1857, Maria (my G/G mother), born c 1859, William, born C 1864, & Mary, born c 1874. I have identified up to six other Edward Paddock's married between 1851 & 1857 but no bride had a first name of Elizabeth.
Any help with eliminating another 'brick wall' would be gratefully appreciated.
