Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: Obituary request – Dora Maretta Norris Mitchell d.Sept 1995, Bath

Hi,

If you are still looking for information that may have appeared in the newspapers, email Bath Library on bath_library@bathnes.gov.uk to see if they can check the Bath Chronicle for details. No guarantees, mind, as the paper often didn't publish obituaries, but there may be a death notice.

The Common Room / Re: What Country is your research ?

As far back as I have been in my direct line, we are all Scots - not a single other nationality.  Having said that, we cover almost every county north of Edinburgh/Glasgow as we were a peripatetic bunch.

Going sideways, my ancestors were typical Scots in that I have emigrants to England, Canada, USA, Australia and New Zealand, with quite a few who worked in other places around the world, although they came home eventually.

The Lighter Side / Re: Ever had anyone turn up on the doorstep?!

Sort of like turning up on the doorstep...

I contacted an old school friend and arranged to visit her to catch up on old times.  When she told me where she lived, I got the surprise of my life as she now lives in some converted farm buildings on the farm where my grandmother was born, and my g-grandfather was a tenant.

I have also discovered that a couple who once lived in the farm where the above grandmother actually grew up liked the name of it so much that they used the name for their winery in New Zealand.  It's lovely wine!

The Lighter Side / Re: Nice names

Not my own tree, but one I was researching out of interest in the son (Alvah Cook) was his mother - Araminta Axford.  Rolls off the tongue nicely.

It has to be said that the Ancestry transcriptions of this name did not do it justice.

Quote from: welsh lady on Sunday 09 June 13 10:29 BST (UK)

Marriage 10 th sept 1867
John King Garrod to Sarah Ann widow late Charles Shickle of Norwich


Thanks for the details about the Garrods.  John's marriage is really interesting as the Shickle I'm chasing was the son of a Charles William Shickle and Sarah Ann Mandall.  I haven't yet pinned down the dates of their deaths, but this gives me a connection between the Shickles and Garrods - always a hard thing to find or prove.

I forsee an interesting afternoon ahead.

Many thanks,
Anne

This all helps and will keep me occupied for the rest of the morning quite happily.

I found John & Marianne's marriage online after your post - for some reason it didn't seem to appear on the searches I'd done up to now.

I'm not acutally related to any of them (I'm Scots), but I'm researching the family background to a Rev. C.W. Shickle form Norwich who married John & Marianne's eldest daughter and ended up living in Bath.

Many thanks for all your help.

Great.  I was beginning to suspect Plowman as a possibility as the name is used in the middle of some of the childrens' names, but it could have been the grandmother's.

Hi Jay,

That information would be useful as it would confirm the family details I've located so far.  You haven't seen a Marianne baptised around 1821 that might fit as well, by any chance?

Thanks,

Anne
