Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Simmonds
« on: Saturday 24 June 17 02:12 BST (UK)  »
I have William Albert's father as William Simmonds, d 1898 in Tewkesbury, married 12 May 1834 in Forthampton, Glos to Phoebe Sallis b abt 1814, her father was John Sallis b act 1769 also in Forthampton, and his father was Benjamin Sallis.  The Sallises get a bit interesting as William Albert's mother, Phoebe, was sister to William Albert's wife's (Annie) father - making William Albert and Annie cousins.  Hope this is of interest.

Gloucestershire / Re: Walkley Family

Hi Shirley

That would be great - I think I stopped with Hannah's father and mother - it was only recently I discovered she had a brother, although I did know about her sister Ada.  I do remember Hannah although I was only about 14 when she died.  Years ago, there was a game on the "Generation Game" where the participants had to identify events - one of those clips was the presentation of the Maundy Money and it was the one in Tewkesbury so Hannah appeared in it.  I seem to remember that she often used a wheelchair at the time but she insisted on being told when the Queen was approaching so that she could stand.  I do remember her showing me the Maundy money and explaining about the three purses.  I also remember that she used to carry a handkerchief scented with 4711 Eau de Cologne and that she would give me and my brother pocket money - when my Dad told her that she should keep her money, she retorted "it's only a shilling"!  I am sure that I have some photos of her in my Dad's paperwork - let me know if you would like to see them.

Hi Shirley/Brian

I am Stuart's niece, Hannah Bingham was my great grandmother - my father was Terence Walkley (son of Hubert).  I have a few newspaper articles about William Walkley if you are interested and some census data for the Bingham family.  I think I may have a newspaper report of Grace Walkley's wedding too.

I did grind to a bit of a halt with William Walkley's line - I have his father as another William Walkley and his grandfather as Samuel Walkley as a coal merchant in Cheltenham.

Kind regards

Debbie

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / 1851 Gloucestershire Census help
« on: Tuesday 06 November 07 23:57 GMT (UK)  »
Would someone please help me with a mystery?

I am trying to trace William Walkley in the 1851 Census - his wife Ann is shown in the Census for Tewkesbury with the entry "husband working on the water".  In later Censuses his place of birth is given as Tewkesbury with an approximate date of birth of 1824.

Any help would be very much appreciated as this is driving me mad :)

Gloucestershire Completed Lookup Requests / Cheltenham 1841 Census Look up please
« on: Tuesday 06 November 07 17:24 GMT (UK)  »
Would someone please be very kind and do a look up for me on the 1841 Census for Cheltenham for a Samuel Walkley?  He is shown in Robson's 1839 directory as a Coal Merchant in Cheltenham and I would love to be able to tie this back to the Census.

Many many thanks

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Wright family of Tewkesbury
« on: Sunday 12 November 06 11:02 GMT (UK)  »
Can anybody help me in my attempts to trace the Wright family of Tewkesbury.  I have the marriage certificate of Emma Wright to Thomas Griffiths from May 1856 but would appreciate any earlier information.  She is shown as being 22 and a Laundress at that time and her father's name is given as Joseph Wright who was a Malt Maker.  Her address at the time of her marriage was Clark's alley.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / William JOHNSON b abt 1850
« on: Tuesday 23 August 05 19:56 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone help me find William JOHNSON b abt 1850 in Milford, Wales.  I have him in 1881 aged 30 living in Portsea but would love to know if he was in the area any earlier.  In the 1881 census he is shown as married to Ann (nee COLES) with a 6 year old daughter Ada and 3 sons.

Any help would be much appreciated as I seem to have drawn a blank.

Many thanks
