Sorry should have said deaths at 4 Ash Street every year.

Hi, I hope that by the time you get this you have had a successful move.

Just thought I would let you know that 4 Ash Street seems to have held some form of extended community (trying to find out more about this) I found a page that shows deaths in Usk and there seems to have been a death almost every year in the 1880's, all different surnames.

Good hunting!

Hi, just spotted this chain which is something of a coincidence as I was in Usk yesterday trying to track down my maternal family links there.
The family name is Blakemore and, in the 1871 census, THEY were living at 4 Ash Street (James and Elizabeth with daughters Ellen, Elizabeth, Agnes and Louisa). In the 1861 census they were simply shown as at lower Ash Street and so I can't say if this was the same location or if they were living nearby.
I believe either then or later they had some connection to the Three Salmons.
There is a suggestion that the staff of the Three Salmons were housed in a 'large house perhaps in Ash Street'.
I see that 4 Ash Street has been redeveloped and there are a lot of properties on the land, so I assume that it was quite a large house.
Sorry that this get's you no closer, but it might provide some context and alternative options for research.
Good Luck

Hi Rosebud

just noticed that I transcribed Issard's birth details wrongly and so the date should have been 1653 and not 1583, sorry about that - more haste, less speed! ???

Hi Rosebud, good to hear from you.

I believe that our lines of the Wyatt family diverged at Thomas' children and that would make you my 7th Cousin at some remove, so pretty remote relationship.

Your line went down the John Wyatt tree and mine his brother Edward's family, with the common ancestor being Thomas 1752 - .

My direct ancestors remained UK based, with just one great, great uncle going to Australia for the gold rush in the 1880's (but getting married in Atlanta for some reason) and two great aunts going to New York in the 1920's in very different circumstances - one ending up in Queens and the other Manhattan. So we are very much a stay at home bunch in the main.

Good luck with your research

 :)

Hi Rosebud,

Richard and Issard Wyatt are my direct ancestors X 9 generations. My research suggests:-

Richard b.16 July 1648 Great Kyre d. 1696 / Izzard b. 12 May 1583 Cirencester

Married 19 May 1688 Worcester

They had at least 2 sons; Edward, b. 12 Jan 1694 Kings Sutton, Oxfordshire who married Eleanor Jones b.1690 Great Kyre at Bromyard 1 May 1719, (direct ancestor to us both) and Richard b. 21 Sept 1690 Great Kyre (so there were two Richard's which might have confused you)

(Richard's father was Thomas, b. 1620 Rochford, Worcestershire and his mother was Jane (?) b. 1625

His Grandfather was also called Thomas b. probably 1587 but possibly 1567 Rochford, Worcs.)

I hope that helps

:)
