The Common Room / Re: WO97 Find my Past
« on: Wednesday 05 October 11 13:21 BST (UK)  »
How interesting, my william is an Oven not Ovens (I know its splitting hairs) I suspect he is the brother of John Oven who was born in St Martins, London. I have no reason to doubt that this lot are from London, but Wm is said not to be born in the county of Mdx, as is John. I have reason to believe the family came from Lambeth, unfortunately the parish registers for St Marys has not been transcribed onto Ancestry so I haven't found this either, nor have I found Johns. It is quite possible that they came from further afield and like others came to London. Are you researching Ovens?

This is the fist time I have used this forum and am absolutely thrilled at the response, thank you very much for looking and putting that avenue to rest for me. Because the census only says army, it has been impossible to find out where he served, or in fact anything more about him. He could have been on the civilian staff for all I know! Thanks again for your time and effort, maybe I can help someone else sometime.

I have been searching forever for William Oven born circa 1786-1795, he appears on 1841 Census as age 50 Osnaburgh Street, London. His occupation says Army. I am at a loss as where to look next.

 Does  anyone have access to Nat Arch W097 Royal Hospital Chelsea Soldiers  Service Documents 1760-1913 to check his records to see if this could possibly be my man? I would be extremely grateful.
