Bedfordshire Completed Look ups / two of Cranfield

Hi,

Saw on the bottom of your site that you are after "Two" of Cranfield.

Don't know if this is of any help, but Ann Garrett a widow, married a Thomas Two in Lidlington on 29 August 1819.  My Garrets came from Lidlington and I think she is one of mine, but working on it.  It is possible that Ann is Ann Ward who married John Garrett in Lidlington in October 1814.  They had a daughter Kitty in 1815. 

This information came from an LDS film, but I fogot to write down the number.  However, on the page where I have written the records is a number MOO3622 which could be the LDS number.

Lancashire / Re: Pinnington/Corfe Marriage - help required please

Hi Carol,

Thankyou for taking the time to search out information and reply, we appreciate it.  The Robert is Joseph's brother and we have much of that data, it is the marriage that eludes us.  As we are running out of places to search, it is becoming the conculsion that maybe, just maybe, it was a common law marriage and hence no certificate.  I have one of these marriages  in another line but luckily between the lies and the kids they  were able to be backtracked.  Don't think so with this one though.  Have a good day.  Jenny and Sue

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Mutton/Thomas - from Cornwall
« on: Wednesday 08 June 05 02:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond, we appreciate it,  not sure about anything but what we posted.  Their death's came from family documents.  I am going to try and access South Australian Records on Friday to see if the death records have an age or parents.  In the interim we have found 'two possibles' coming into Australia as unassisted immigrants to Victoria.  A Joseph Mutton, an adult, came in on the St Osyth in Jan 1876 as an adult, putting his dob c 1855.  Also a Julia Thomas came in as a 8 year old in Apr 1863 on the Winefred, with her parents and siblings.  This also puts her dob c 1855.  My computer has its good and bad days (and so do I with the stupid thing) and I am trying to get the 1861 census to work to check on Julia Thomas & family in this census.  We were told by elderly relatives that they came from Cornwall.

Why do the ancestors have to make tracking them so difficult, it is like they knew it would happen someday and took pleasure (at least some of them did) in making the task very difficult in deed by lying, changing names, not registering births, and moving all over the place.  However, therein lies the challenge, doesn't it.

Have a good day

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / MUTTON/THOMAS - from Cornwall
« on: Tuesday 07 June 05 12:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

We have a Joseph Mutton died in Australia in 1906.  His wife was Julia Hannah Thomas who died in Australia in 1921.  They had a daughter Caroline Jane Mutton born in Australia in 1877.

We have been told that Joseph and Julia were born in Cornwall.

Can anyone help with suggestions or lookups please to help us find these people and their families.  Thanks

Lancashire / Pinnington/Corfe Marriage - help required please
« on: Tuesday 07 June 05 11:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi,  Am looking for a marriage that is not on the LDS or free bmd records.  Ellen's christening is not there either, but thanks to Michael we have a copy of it.  I will list all the places we have, hoping that it might help in the search, if anyone is willing.

Ellen Pinnington was christened 24 August 1828 in Upholland.  She had a brother James christened in Upholland in 1832.  Two more children were christened, in Stanhope Street Wesleyan, Liverpool, Lancashire - Jane born Dec 1834/died July 1835 and Elizabeth born Mar 1836/died Jun 1836.

Their parents were James Pennington and Grace Ashcroft.  James and Grace were married in May 1828 in Wigan.  We believe (assuming we have the right James) that James was christened in Farnworth, Lancashire in 1803.

Ellen married (we hope) Joseph Corfe.  Joseph was born in Bidston, Cheshire about 1826,  and their first child was born in 1853 in Birkenhead, Cheshire where they lived all their lives.

Can anyone look up, or suggest where we go, to find the marriage of Ellen and Joseph.  Just to make matters more difficult, we will taken any Ellen Pinnington marrying any Corfe in the time frame as the English bdm records have also been searched from 1845-1855 and no Joseph Corfe was found, so maybe he was known as something else.  We are hoping that theirs was not a common law marriage.  Also, the Corfe name has been 'butchered' to Coyle (1881 census), Coope and Corf.

Appreciate any help.  Thanks.  Jenny and Sue in Australia
