Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Glympton Look Up Please
« on: Friday 15 August 14 11:45 BST (UK)  »
Hi Alan,

I had seen those Freebmd entries and also Charles is on the 1871 census living with Mercy in Woodstock.  I do feel these are the right people but Johnson is such a common surname that I was hopefully looking for the actual PRs that would say for sure it was the right people.

Many thanks :)

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Glympton Look Up Please
« on: Friday 15 August 14 10:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Charles Johnson was in Glympton on the 1861 census with his wife Jane and son Thomas who was 13.  He was an Agricultural Labourer.

He appears to have married again to a Mercy in 1868.  Would anyone have the Glympton PRs that would be able to check for a burial for Jane in Glympton and if Charles & Mercy married there too? 

Also is there any marriage for Thomas in Glympton?

Many thanks in advance.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Oldbury PRs for the 1840s
« on: Friday 18 July 14 12:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am trying to discover if my great x 3 grandfather was actually my great x 3 grandmother's first husband or 2nd husband.  I've always thought it was the 2nd but now believe its the 1st. 

Can anyone tell me if there are any online resources that have baptisms and burials for parish records for Oldbury which cover the 1840s?  Or, is there any disk I could purchase with these records on them? 

I've always thought that my great x 2 grandmother was called Harriet Bailey but believe she was actually Harriet Smith.  I've ordered a birth certificate today of a Harriet Smith born in 1849 which I believe is her. 

What I would dearly like to find is a burial for Henry Smith who I know this is her father.  I have a feeling he died in the March quarter of 1849.  The family were living in Oldbury in 1841 and his remarried wife Eliza (now Bailey) is still there in 1851.   Henry and Eliza had a few children during the 1840s before Harriet was born and the baptism PRs would be really useful for me to find out these children.

Many thanks in advance.

Alan,

I cannot thank you enough for finding those burials.  So sad that Margaret died after giving birth to Elizabeth.  It looks like my Elizabeth was the only surviving child.  I really appreciate you finding these for me. 

Radcliff, thank you too for taking a look for me.

Hi,

If this is indeed the right marriage, then I do need to see if I can find out anything at all more about the marriage such as banns/ licence and if they were of the parish.

Elizabeth was born ten years later so I am curious to know if there were any other children to Christopher and Margaret.

I would like to locate then they died and if Christopher left a will.

Northumberland / Looking for Christopher Cole & Margaret
« on: Saturday 16 November 13 18:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

My great x 5 grandparents were Christopher Cole & Margaret (surname unknown). I know nothing about them, ie, when they were born, when they died or when they even married.

All I know is that they had a daughter, Elizabeth Cole my great x 4 grandmother, on the 8th July 1794 in Newcastle upon Tyne. She was baptised non-conformist the next day. Her baptism record states: Elizabeth, Daughter of Christopher & Margret Cole, Flax Dresser, of Silver Street in the Parish of All Saints, Newcastle upon Tyne.

There is a potential marriage of a Christopher Cole to a Margaret Thompson at All Saints, Newcastle on the 13th May 1787.

Elizabeth went on to marry at Gretna Green and 4 of her 6 children were also baptised non-conformist. On a couple of those baptisms it does state that the maternal grandparents were Christopher & Margaret Cole.

I would really appreciate any advice on where to start with these two.

Many thanks in advance.

Durham / Re: Henry Bowin - Cannot locate a death

Hi Chrissie,

I cannot locate this man you reference on Familysearch. 

It could be him, would be interesting to see more info about this Henry.  Would a Mariner and a Merchant Navy Seaman be the same person though?  I thought mariner meant fisherman? 

Regards
Claire

Hi Barryd,

You are right, he could have died further afield away if he was away working.  I was hoping maybe there might have been local newspaper reports if he was missing whilst working. 

His wife Elizabeth does claim to be a widow on the 61 census so either she knew he was dead or assumed he was dead. 

I think I have tried all versions of Bowin/Bowen/Bowens etc :(

Durham / Henry Bowin - Cannot locate a death
« on: Friday 17 May 13 16:39 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

My great x 4 GF was Henry Bowin who was born circa 1815 in Hull, Yorkshire.

He married Elizabeth Nicholson in Sunderland on the 11th May 1840.  He is with Elizabeth and children on both the 41 and 51 censuses in Monkwearmouth Shore. 

Henry disappears after the 51 census.  His wife Elizabeth is on the 61 and 71 census in the Sunderland Union Workhouse and she is listed as a widow on both.  She died in 1874.

Henry was a mariner and i've wondered if he died at sea somewhere.

If anyone can offer any help or guidance in locating Henry's death, it is much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance
Claire
