Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Forder Family of West Tisted
« on: Wednesday 18 April 12 10:21 BST (UK)  »
Hello!
Not looked in to this for a while; nice to reopen it!
Just to check this is Levi Forder (b. May 1825) married Elizabeth Ellen Tostafine in 1845, s/o James Forder & Elizabeth Cooper?

If so: James Forder(b. 1783) Elizabeth (b. 1786) they married on 19 Dec 1803 in West Tisted 1803.
I have James as the son of John Forder and Elizabeth Spencer who married on 8 nov 1773 also in West Tisted. No dob for John so my trail goes cold there (1745/53? Wincester St. Faith?)

I actually followed through levi (not as common as james and john) son Levi George, his son James George and then his son Fredrick George.

Hope that helps!

Tom

Thanks again for all the help. Having lots of fun piecing together all the different families that seem to have been around West Tisted in the early to mid 1800s.

Trish - thanks for you attempts at trying to find out what happened to Emily. I am still trying to find out what happened to her. Its interesting and frustrating how the same names appear in all the different families; although that is the traditional way and nature of genealogy!!

Rather than continually expand my tree (I've over 20 in one generation now) I'm trying to follow a few individuals: What happened to Edwin Stephen's mother (Emely b.1828)? Why was he not living with her in 1851? What made him move to the Kingston area of Surrey where he started his own family? There's no record of him between the 1951 census (aged 2 in West Tisted) and marrying his first wife Mary Ann Wood in Kingston, 1876! So much fun to be had, although I'm not expecting to find all the answers!

Happy hunting!

Thanks for the post Viv and thank you Trish for yet more info!

My tree is growing exponentially; it seems they were breeding like rabbits all within West Tisted. The parish is tiny with less than 200 people living there.
I think a trip to Hampshire is in order to have a look round the church!

Should probably do some of the work I'm paid for though... oops!

Thanks Trish, that is fascinating! I've only being researching for a couple of day, signed up to findmypast.co.uk, and it is great to know where else I can look for stuff; eating up my payasyougo credits!  :'(

Didn't even cross my mind that Emily might be Edwin Stephen's mother as he is living with his grandparents in 1851 whilst Emily is not (George & Naomi still are).

Thanks again,

Tom

Hi
I've just started tracing my family tree and your request re: Mary Ann adds an interesting piece to my puzzle.
If indeed she is d/o James and Elizabeth then she is one 8 children that I have found so far; she had left home before the 1841 census so up until now I had not come across a Mary Ann. I am descended from a Edwin Stephen 1849, who appears in the 1851 census listed as James and Elizabeth's grandson. I can't find any birth/baptism record for him so don't which of James and Elizabeth's children is his parent!

James Forder 1783 is s/o John Forder and Elizabeth Spencer m. 8 Nov 1773 whilst Elizabeth (nee. Cooper) is d/o John Cooper and Sophia Caute m. 30 May 1785.

Hope this helps with your research, I'd be keen to hear any further information you have on James' father, John. I have more information on Mary Ann's siblings if you need it too; for example: her oldest son Jesse is born in the same year as James and Elizabeth's youngest son, also called Jesse (aged 3 in 1841 census) however he does not appear in the household 10 years later. The family lived on Manor farm in both 1841 and 1851.

All the best.
