Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Tovey Surname
« on: Friday 28 March 14 09:24 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Annette, I too have not been able to get passed Thomas, someone else's tree on ancestry lists Thomas's parents as William Tovey 1758 - 1838 and Mary Skay 1756 - 1838. Obviously I have no idea how accurate that is, although Thomas's son, also a Thomas has the middle name Skay.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Beckley Surname
« on: Monday 30 September 13 19:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi, Just an update, i got the marriage certificate, but there was no one by the surname of 'New' as a witness, however oddly enough as i previously had said Andrew Phillips Beckley's birth Certificate only listed his mother Emma Beckley and Father 'Unknown', yet on his marriage certificate it says his father was also Andrew Philip Beckley (Deceased) Occupation: Artist!!! However this has just led me to another dead end as i cannot find anyone by that name anywhere.
I assumed he had taken his mothers maiden name but surely this would suggest she was married to his father.

Sorry completely my mistake, because i only have the children from the 2nd marriage and none from the 1st i was assuming we were talking about John senior being the brother of Ada (as i have none of his siblings either) but now i see John senior had technically 2 sons he named John, one in each marriage.

very true i just noticed that on the 1901 census!

And although the 1881 census with ada would explain where there name Beckwith came from and i have to admit its too much of a coincidence to be looked over the John Nicholson (brother) living with her is far too young and i already have the 1881 census for him! Its all so confusing!

Thanks for all the help i am going to start looking in to all these possibilities, one thing that has me worried though is the ones found for 1826! I know sometimes census's can be a year or two out but this seems like such a large gap and all census's 1881 onwards have him as 1833 and his marriage in 1873 has him as 40 years old!?
I did assume that at this age of marriage the likelihood was he had been married previously.

And in regards to the last comment on an Ada Beckwith and husband having a John Nicholson (brother) living there, i have the 1881 census for John living with his "2nd" wife and children, however what makes this curious is my Great Grandfather (son of John) is John Beckwith Nicholson!

Also i forgot to mention i cannot find the 1891 census for him, i have his family (wife and children) but hes not there, then he reappears again in 1901 census

Hi all, im looking for some help with my 2nd Great Grandfather, heres what i have......

John Nicholson b.1833 in Wighill, Yorkshire.

m. Sarah Eliza Hall (aged 19) in 1873 (lists his father as James Nicholson)

John and Sarah went on to have 13 children.

But that is all i have, i cant find anything on John Nicholson's birth and i cant find him on the 1841, 51, 61 or 71 census. I have no idea who his mother was either!?

Roxburghshire / Ballantyne's of Roxburghshire
« on: Sunday 15 September 13 12:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi i need help going back a generation.

Im trying to trace back for 3rd Great Grandfathers parents.

My 3rd Great Grandfather was John Ballantyne b.1806 in Kelso, he went on to Marry Esther Lees in 1831.

The only info i have on his parents is that they were possibly called James Ballantyne and Helen Dean/Deans, but thats it, i have no dates or anything, im not even sure if the names are correct.

Can anyone help?

Thank you x

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Wingfield Marriage lookup
« on: Saturday 14 September 13 12:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, im stuck and need some help.

Im looking for the Marriage between Charles Wingfield b.1790 in Sheffield to Susannah ? b.1793

Im trying to find out Susannah's maiden name.

Charles and Susannah had their first child George (Geo) Wingfield in 1824, but i believe there may have been a child before that in 1822 by the name of Thomas.
So im assuming that due to their age and time they had children there marriage should of taken place between 1813 - 1823, i say from 1813 because that would put Susannah at 20 years old and their may of been other children before 1822 that i dont know about.

Any help would be appreciated.
