Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Rickwood mystery
« on: Tuesday 30 July 13 13:44 BST (UK)  »
I'm a direct decendant, through John Thorn 1811, Sarah Thorne 1858, Dinah Dorman 1882 (my great Grandma), Florence Brookes 1906 (my grandma),  and Florence Fox (Helen) 1933...Helen was my mum and used to own a market garden off Leicester Rd in Hinckley called Helen's of Hinckley. I still live in Hinckley. I'm going to have to do a bit of catching up as I didn't know Sara Calow was baptised Catholic....this is a real eye opener.... :)

Regards Helena

Hello TB,

Thanks for your post. we definatly have the same family, but I am wondering now about the Broughton connection as I didn't know that Sarah Calow had a illegitimate child. This must be the Elizabeth that I believed to be John Rickwood's sister. Back to the drawing board on that one! :-\....If you can get onto Ancestry.co.uk, you can find my tree under Helena-Ann Carson, redican_fox@yahoo.com......I was able to find a copy of Edwards marriage to Elizabeth Martin in Croydon, and his father is just listed ad John Rickwood, Shoemaker. No mention of him being deceased.
Regarding the marriage of John Thorne and Sarah Calow, I find it a bit strange that they were both buried in St Peter's Catholic Church, as they were married in St Mary's C of E parish church, and their children were baptised there as well. I have a photocopy of the entry for their marriage and there is another word after Sarah's name, but it hard to read. Perhaps this refers to her faith, or even that she was an unmarried mum!....The next time I go to Wigston Records Office, I'll ask to see if I can view the original..... I haven't found her on the cencus either. She is a bit elusive!.

If I found any more info I will let you know.

Best wishes Helena

Edward Rickwood is also in my tree. His mother, Mary Thorn and my 4x great grandfather were brother and sister. I have Edwards father John as coming from Broughton, Leicestershire. This could be what is now Broughton Astley. I see you are from Hinckley, so am I and I still live here. The places mentioned on the cencus for Hinckley should sound familiar. 1841 Edward is in Bluebell yard. 1851 he is living with his aunt Elizabeth Sketchley in Castle Street. 1861 he marries Elizabeth Sarah Martin in Croyden and he is a Police Constable. 1871 he's in Clapham and still a Police Constable. 1881 he's in Islington, still a Police Constable. 1891 he is landlord of the Feathers Pub in Rickmansworth. 1901 he is in charge of Grove wharf near Langleybury and Watford. 1911 he is retired on police pension in Lyminge.
Don't know if any of this helps  :)
