Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: William Webster b1828 Eckington
« on: Sunday 20 April 14 07:35 BST (UK)  »
Suz, the marriage witnesses were James Littlewood (bride's side) and Ann Rippon?. Unfortunately no Webster or Rotherham.

Carol, thanks for the info on those other sites, didn't have that info, a great help. Can you tell me, how do I go about getting the full content of the bastardy paper to see if I'm on the right track there?

thanks
Davo

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / William Webster b1828 Eckington
« on: Friday 18 April 14 13:19 BST (UK)  »
Seeking information on William Webster, b1828 Eckington. Died 22/2/1895 Eckington. Married Jane Littlewood 21/6/1852, Ridgeway. They had 9 children.
William lived in or around Eckington all his life and was mostly a labourer/agricultural labourer.
His father was listed on his marriage certificate as William Rotherham, occupation butcher.
The brick wall is - who was his mother?

Can someone please help?
I am in Australia so do not have access to Parish Registers so would appreciate any help anyone could give in cracking this mystery.

thanks

Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Mr & Mrs Jupp, & photo album Completed
« on: Saturday 12 April 14 09:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
I don't have any information to help, but I do remember a Mr & Mrs Jupp from early WWII days.
I was born in April 1940 and remember staying with them when I was about 2½ to 3 years old before my sister was born.
I remember both of them being very kind, they were older people - like grandparents to me. Mr Jupp used to smoke a pipe, I can recall watching him light it and puffing away in front of the fireplace and I remember having my photograph taken standing on their front steps. I will see if I have that photograph among the photo's I managed to retrieve from my parents' house after they died (I live in Australia).
I have no clue as to where they lived but as I lived in Purbrook, Hampshire at the time it wouldn't have been far from there.
I have never forgotten them, hence my sudden impulse to type their names into Google and finding these posts.

Cheers,
Davo
