I am to from the KCA Cummings line
KA Cummings was my gr grandfather my Grandma was his  legitimate child he was not able to marry her because of social status she was a maid and they apparently fell in love but the family would not allow them to marry, He went on to write to her until her 21st or when she got married can not quite remember if it was one or the other or both.  My great Grandma was Sarah Ann Dole

I know back to William Cummings and that is where it stops when he got transported to Australia There was a lady called Aunty Rhoda but i am not sure where she fitted it but she use to look after my Aunty Elsie from time to time.
It would be lovely if i was able to send my email address to you if possible just to keep a little communication open. It would be so great if we could. It would mean a lot to me do you mind. xxx

Sarah Ann Dole was the daughter of my 4th great uncle Joseph Dole of Somers Town, London. Born in 1822 Joe was transported to Tasmania in 1836 for the theft of a sheet valued at 2/6d - he was 13 years old and had been turned in by his own father! He survived to marry three times and died in Parramatta in 1890. Sarah Ann's mother was Louisa Lewis who was born in Murrumbidgee in 1863. Any news of Sarah Ann's family would be appreciated - the Dole family is alive and well in the UK.

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Stops in Thame 1830's/1840's
« on: Wednesday 15 February 06 08:04 GMT (UK)  »
Their children were all born in Marylebone, the first in c1848 so I think they  must have moved to London between 1841 and 1848, possibly to live with an older brother of John Stops who had moved there from Thame earlier.

I assume this last because the 1851 census shows another family Stops at the same address headed by a widow Hannah who was born in Middlesex.

Both John and Mary were born in Thame and would have been in their 20's when they moved to London so I'm hoping there is some trace of them in Thame records.

Thanks for your help on this.

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Stops in Thame 1830's/1840's
« on: Tuesday 14 February 06 18:43 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help to track down John Stops (borm Thame c1817) and his wife Mary - poss surname Dormer (also born Thame c1818).

The earliest trace I can find is in the 1851 census where they are shown as living in Wells Street, Marylebone, London with their children John and William Albert. There is no trace of them in London in the 1841 census so presumably they moved there in the 1840's.

Any help gratefully received.

Hi Cissellby
Yes Biker's first 1851 report re John & Mary Stops is the right one. Their son, John Stops junior is my great grandfather who in the 30 missing years acquired a rather posh sounding double-barrel, adding Dormer to his name as well as an extra 'p' in Stopps.

Despite the ambitious surname, John Dormer Stopps sadly finished his days in St Pancras Workhouse in 1927.

Hanna was, I think, his aunt.

thanks and regards

Thanks Biker, that's really helpful.

The son of John Stops, John Stops junior (b c1850) last appears with his family in the 1861 census  aged 11. He then disappears from the radar altogether until he appears on the 1891 census  as John Dormer Stopps. Have you any suggestions how I can track him over thios 30 year gap, please?

Thanks Biker

That's very useful. In the 1861 Census this family is living at 29 Wells Street with another family, headed by Hannah Stops (widow) born Middlesex. I feel sure that she is the sister-in-law of John Stops. Would you please be kind enough to check for her in 1851?

Thank you again.

Thanks for this - I am still searching for information on this family but have no further details at this stage. Please leave the request live for the time being please.

Many thanks

It was Albert Goodchild who was arrested as a suspect but later released. Interestingly the 1901 census shows 17 year-old Rosie living with her grandmother in nearby Badingham and sharing the house with elderly David Goodchild and his wife, so maybe Albert was a relative. Thanks Michael

Hi Gazza

Did you find the suspect Goodchild on the 1901 census? Would appreciate a lead on that - thank you!

Michael
