London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Marion Young nee Baker

Thank you Ciderdrinker - this is quite interesting, as in 1942 when Henry Charles Baker died it is recorded that he has previously been living at 137 Mellitus Street - which I can only presume is the same address... 18 years later. 

Once again thank you.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Marion Young nee Baker
« on: Sunday 28 June 15 10:10 BST (UK)  »
Hiya all,

I hope someone will be able to help me.

I'm trying to find out any information relating to an older cousin (Marion Baker) of my father.  He however only discovered this in 1976 when his mother died, as he believed Marion was his aunt and by this time he had moved a long way from the area of his maternal and paternal family and lost touch with most, if not all of his maternal aunt/uncles and cousins. 

Marion Baker was born circa 1917 in Paddington District, London to an unmarried young mother Emily Ruth Baker (born 1901), but was brought up by her grandparents Henry Charles Baker and Sarah Spearey. 

In December quarter 1941 Marion married Richard T Young in Hammersmith District and by this time (1933) her biological mother Emily was married to Edward Sheppard in Bath..... where Emily also died in June quarter 1973.


Any further information relating to this line of the family would sincerely be appreciated. 

Thank you in advance.

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Parish Look UP Request

Thank you JeanGris,

Very interesting.  Though slightly confusing at present.  At least a new lead to follow concerning the marriage of John and Jane Jamson..... will have to do a look up search on the meaning of that surname now mind... I suspect it could be a variant of the surname Jameson though.

Thank you once again.

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Parish Look UP Request

Hiya,

I am trying to trace information relating to my 4 x Great Grandparents Richard Dover and Sarah Miller.

Richard Dover was born circa 1772 in Langrigg, Cumbria.  He was baptised 7/11/1772 in Bromfield and died 1799 to be buried 31/7/799 in the Bromfield area.  Baptism records state his parents to be John Dover and Jane - but no other information is known about them.

He was married to Sarah Miller, who was born circa 1775 in Mealrigg, Cumbria and died circa 1801 and buried 12/5/1801 in the Bromfield area.  I haven't been able to find any baptism records to gain parents names or a date they got married.

They had at least two children.  John born circa 1796 in Cumbria and Mary (my 3 x Great Grandmother) born circa 1798 in Workington - and they would have been orphaned as small children - so who and where they went to live is also unknown.  I know quite a bit about the later life of Mary, but nothing about her brother John or any other possible siblings, though I suspect there aren't any more.

I would be especially interested to know where and when Richard and Sarah married and also where they were buried. 

Thank you in advance for any help given.

With kind regards,

Natterjack

Ok 2 people named Thomas Lulham born circa around the same time... reminds me of another family I have seen before.... Eek.  This is where I've also seen mistakes made on my behalf.... though I usually figure it all out eventually.

Wonder if Elizabeth made it onto 1851, though some how doubt it and I would presume she would have died.. but you just never know.. people do astound me at times.

Yes I see what you mean about the sawyer reference.

Thanks once again.

Kind regards,

Natterjack

Thank you... just a shame that Thomas and Jane's marriage didn't give parents names... but nothing can be done about that.

So really all we can do is guess that the next marriage is a possibility.  I even tried looking for a baptism record for him, but with no look as of yet.

Again thank you for everything that has been done for me.  Very much appreciated.

Many kind regards,

Natterjack

I'm speechless... I'm trying to find the marriage myself - but so far with no luck again.

I think once I complete this.. I'm going to start on the Lulham's in Sussex on my husbands side - to see if anything meets up - as they had at some point lived in London - so may be connected further back.

Good luck to finding the marriage, if of course any one is up for it... my sources are presently blank.

Excellent details about Thomas's death - shame but such is life.

Many thanks again and kind regards.

Thank you so much.

I suppose the next step for me would be to look at the father pre 1871 to get his details of parents and siblings.

The reason for this is because I have come across the name of Lulham in my husband's family tree... and I am interested to find out if any of these Lulham's have connections to Sussex and if they could be traced/linked to each other.  Hence it might be interesting to see the earlier census's. 

Oh well, hopefully in time.  At least we have now proved the women did marry the brother's - surname Williams who are related to me through a family marriage.  I started out doing this for a family member, now I want to do it as part of my own research into my husband's family... just incase I can find a connection - as I don't think Lulham was or is that common a name.

Thanks again for all the help and many kind regards regards.
