Suffolk Lookup Requests / Sibton, Suffolk
« on: Wednesday 26 February 14 02:51 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for baptism info regarding parents of William Smith, who was born in Sibton abt 1787, according to later census records. He must have moved to London where he was a butcher and married Ann Brown abt 1816. Recurring names in the family are James, George, William, Daniel, Ann and Sarah. Perhaps he had siblings of the same names. I don't know if his whole family moved to London or not. With a name like Smith it is almost impossible to make any progress against this brick wall. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you.

Wiltshire / Re: Perrys of The Pelican Inn Devizes Wiltshire
« on: Monday 03 June 13 11:06 BST (UK) »
I have Perrys in my tree involved with pubs in Wiltshire - don't know if they are connected. Elizabeth Perry married George Killard and he was shown as 'Publican' in High St, Malmsbury 1841 Census, and as "Inn Keeper" of The Bell Inn, Yatton Keynell in 1851. Elizabeth's brother James Perry (married Frances Cole - her father was Inn Keeper of 'Red Lion' Yatton Keynell) was proprieter of 'Cardiff Arms' pub in 1871, and in 1881 was proprieter of "Queens Hotel" Cardiff. Just thought I'd throw this into the mix in case of a Perry connection.

Reply to Dawn - My sincere apologies for failing to thank you for your message last year which gave info about certs etc. I don't know how I missed passing on my thanks - unless my reply is still in cyberspace (has been known to happen to me)
Anyway, thank you, I appreciate your input.
Kind regards

Thank you for your message - I am ever hopeful no matter how long it takes! Yes, they are the family listed on Alan Stoner's site. You are correct that Mary Louisa died in Brentford 1939 (14 May actually) In one of her letters to my grandmother she mentioned that the family vault at Kingswood was almost full, so I am not sure whether she was buried there or not, but her husband lived a further 10 years and he would have known her wishes. However because Edith was (supposedly) the last to die, I am not sure who would have made arrangements for her burial and whether they would have interred her with the rest of the family at Kingswood. I know the tree on Ancestry with the photo (the owner follows Edith's husband's family) I have seen the death ref. but am not quite convinced yet that the Portsea death is correct. I guess I need to enquire about the church burial records.
Thank you again. Regards

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: George & Mary Ann Smith

Leandra - I'm so relieved about the records - we were 5 weeks around the South, and when we got back to Ch'Ch no one could tell us anything about the Library and of course everything was cordoned off. I was desperate to find out if the Library had survived but apart from a friend saying he thought it was okay, there was no official info! So thanks a million. It's a goldmine as far as family history is concerned isn't it!

Just wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions and wish to report that my visit to Christchurch Library unearthed some wonderful answers - spent 3 days there and then the earthquake happened so could not go back for more info. I don't know if those amazing records have survived or not! Returned to Australia and visited Melbourne and was able to spend time and take lots of photos of the church where George and Mary Ann were married in 1853. Even viewed the register - but was told that if they had married a year later, it was necessary to show the names of parents as well which would have been a bonus! Can't win 'em all! At least I now know where they are buried in Christchurch, and how many children and grandchildren they had. Thank you again- am so appreciative of the help given.

Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me if a death record or certificate shows the name of mother and father?
