Pembrokeshire Lookup Requests / Re: Whittow look up
« on: Tuesday 12 January 10 16:07 GMT (UK) »
Hello Again Orielbenfro,
I think I'm making some progress on my Thomas Whittow research and I hope you can help me further.
Thomas Whittow did have a middle name of George so your report of a Baptism at Steynton in 1843 seems relevant. Not being familiar with the area is Steynton sometimes spelt as Stainton?
Could you tell me whether the Steynton baptism records would show the parents' names and also where I might view them. (Pembroke Records Office??)
I also wondered whether the William Whittow and Phillis Wathan you mention might be the parents, particularly in view of the Union Workhouse being located in St Thomas.
Thomas, aged 9, is listed in the 1851 Census as a "pauper" living in the Union Workhouse, St Thomas, Haverfordwest and in 1861 as a journeyman Tailor living with a Polish Master Tailor in Steynton. (Tailoring was his trade.)
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. Regards Peter

Hi, Orielbenfro
Many thanks for your reply, it is most useful. Martha's surname spelling does seem to vary; Gullum, Gullen, Gwillam are all variants. I guess without widespread literacy, phonetic spelling was commonly used.
I'll follow up your leads. Cheers. Peter

Ken, Many thanks. Do you happen to know which brewery owned Newington House? Was it one of Walkers?

Lancashire / Liverpool Public Houses 1900 to 1914
« on: Thursday 22 January 09 20:49 GMT (UK) »
I understand that at the start of the 19c a public house was located at 33 Renshaw Street, Liverpool. (My grandfather was the Manager and, with his family, lived in). I can't recollect its name although The Newington rings a bell. Any help to estabish the facts will be much appreciated.
A google search shows there is still a pub there today. However I suspect it's far more upmarket now, without any sign "hurry-up" carts at closing time!

Westmorland Completed Look up Requests / 1841 Census - Anne Hodgson (nee Dickinson)
« on: Tuesday 28 March 06 16:31 BST (UK) »
Ann(e) Dickinson was born on 19th Oct 1811 in Witherstack (nr Kendal) & died 1849. I think she married a John Hodgson & had 3 children. It's therefore likely the 1841 census entry will be under her married name.
Any information will be appreciated.

I'd appreciate details of the above, born ~ 1803.
On the 1851 census William is listed as working for Daniel Dickinson at "Dawson Fold", Crosthwaite-cum-Lyth.
Thanks, Peter

Westmorland Completed Look up Requests / 1841 Census - Matthew Walling etc
« on: Monday 13 February 06 17:40 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate receiving details for Matthew Walling (b. 1804) and his wife Elizabeth Martindale (who I think may have died sometime in 1841). In 1851 Matthew was living at the Howe (farm) in Lyth.
In 1846 Matthew subsequently married a Mary Rigg (b. 1818 in Crosthwaite) so any details about Mary would be useful
Finally, could you tell me the occupants of Dawson Fold (farm) situated within the parish of Crosthwaite cum Lyth. In 1851 the farm was the home of bachelor Daniel Dickinson aged 44 together with his two sisters and two brothers - all of whom were also single.
Apologies for such an extended enquiry. Cheers and thanks.
