Lancashire / Margaret Doyle - Liverpool, trying to find her mother
« on: Monday 18 January 16 01:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

Margaret Doyle married David Cunningham on the 11 August 1850, St Philip's Church, Liverpool.  Marriage records have a John Doyle , Gardener as her father.  One of the witness is Richard Doyle.

I was hoping that her death record would provide information on her mother, alas it didn't  :(.  She died 31 December 1880 in Dunedin, NZ at the age of 48.  The records show that her father was John Doyle, Nurseryman and that she was married in Liverpool at the age of 18 to David Cunningham.  The marriage record said she was of full age.  If the death record information is correct then she must have been born around 1832. 

She travelled from Liverpool to Melbourne in 1853, the passenger list has her age as 25.  This would mean an earlier birth date.

Any information / help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Saint Michael Bedwardine,Worcester - PAYTON
« on: Wednesday 22 July 15 09:44 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Thank-you Jack for checking this out for me, much appreciated.

I was hoping that the parish record would be the type that listed both fathers and what their occupations were, but alas not to be.  Keturiah Bond is Sarah's sister and I am guessing Nathl is another relative.  Sarah's father was William Bond. 

Even though it didn't provide me with the puzzle piece I want, it did tell me that her sister came to her wedding.

Worcestershire Lookup Requests / Saint Michael Bedwardine,Worcester - PAYTON
« on: Sunday 19 July 15 04:18 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Does anyone have access to the parish records for Saint Michael Bedwardine and be able to check a marriage record for me please.

Thomas Payton married Sarah Smaley Bond - 26 December 1811

I am hoping that the record will state the name of Thomas's father.  I believe it is John Payton but have recently come across new information that has left me questioning this.

Thank-you

London and Middlesex / Re: Henry Pulsford & Jane Collett - Enfield, Middlesex

Hi

Thank-you all for your continued help  :).  It's so encouraging and exciting to learn more. 

Bookbox, thanks for explaining about the census numbering.  I have  goggled to find out what a Tambour Worker is and have found its embroidery lace work. 

Louisa maud , the Henry you found at Royal Hotel certainly sounds as if he may be Henry Metcalfe.  I wish they would use their full names especially when they aren't common ones. 

I have been in contact with the Enfield Local Studies Library and Archive.  They kindly searched their records to see if the Pulsford name turned up.  There was no record of a Henry Pulsford having a shop there.  The only records were the children's baptisms .  So it looks as if the family was there for only a short period of time.

I have found reference to a Henry Pulsford being a partner in Trelove, Pulsford and Son  Button-sellers & Haberdashers, 40, St.Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.  This was in the Directory of London and Westminster, & Borough of Southwark 1794.  There may be no connection at all.  I think my Henry would have been too young to be that person. 

This genealogy is just like trying to do a very large jigsaw puzzle without know what the pictures looks like.  Frustrating sometimes but very addictive.

One again thanks for your help.

Thank-you so much Louisa maud, rosie99 and Bookbox for all of this information, very much appreciated.

Louisa maud , Tryphena & William are my Great x 2 Grandparents.  I have them marrying in 1846 with my Great Grandfather being born in 1847.  I definitely need to get a copy of the certificate.

rosie99, that very interesting to learn that on Julia Maria's marriage record Henry Pulsford's occupation is a Steward.  More questions being raised.  Perhaps he wasn't a shop keeper after all.

Bookbox, that certainly sounds like it my Jane.  Could you please explain what the letters and numbers you quoted relate to. 

All of the information has given my new leads to follow up on.

Thanks again

London and Middlesex / Henry Pulsford & Jane Collett - Enfield, Middlesex
« on: Sunday 18 May 14 04:36 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am seeking any information on my Great x 3 Grandparents Henry Pulsford and Jane Collett.  What I know so far is that they were married at St James, Westminster on the 12 July 1812.

I have found records of the following children being born / baptised  -

Tryphena Jane Pulsford  - 23 June 1814
Julia Maria Pulsford - 1815
Henry Metcalfe Pulsford  - 14 November 1817

Witnesses on the marriage record are shown as William Pulsford and Mary Pulsford.

I understand that Henry Pulsford was a shopkeeper at Ponders End.

If anyone has any information I would very much appreciate it.  Any suggestions on where to look would be great as well.

I've hunted on Ancestry , Family Search and FreeREG but haven't made any progress.

Thanks

Graveyards and Gravestones / Coldingham Priory - MI's
« on: Tuesday 25 March 14 01:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I've posted this in the Berwickshire forum but also thought I would post here as well.

I am interested to find out about some MI's for the surname Edgar.  My great x 3 grandfather was Alexander Edgar whose death / or maybe burial date is 19 August 1858, Harelaw, Chirnside.  I have read that he is buried in a family plot at Coldingham Priory (Z-11 ( this number may relate? ).

I have searched the Borders FHS Gravestone Index  which shows 4 stones with the name Edgar.

Any information anyone has on these stones would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Lincolnshire / William WALKER died 1802 Bicker
« on: Tuesday 25 March 14 01:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I am searching for any information on William Walker who was buried 4 August 1802 at St Swithin, Bicker aged 29.  This information I found on FreeReg.  Alas there isn't recorded whether he was married or not.

I am particularly interested in if he was married and who his wife was.  Also if she remarried after his death.  This ties in with my search to find the maiden name of Mary Walker.

Any information anyone has would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Lincolnshire / Re: Mary Walker - searching for her maiden name 1803 Stickford
« on: Tuesday 25 March 14 00:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I think i may be able to narrow down my selection of possible Mary's.  I am inclined to rule out Mary Wright who married George Walker ( Gedney) as there is a Mary Walker who dies in Gedney 1805 aged 32.  Also adding Mary Haynes who married John Walker ( Grantham ) because there is a Mary Walker married to a John having children after 1803 in Grantham. 

At this stage I am leaning towards my Mary being Mary Thompson.  The one married to William Walker.  This is due to the fact that I have found a death in 1802 of a Willaim Walker in Bicker.  He was buried 04 Aug 1802 at St Swithin aged 29 years.  Alas the FreeReg information doesn't show if he was married or not. 

Does my reasoning sound feasible? 

Thanks
