Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Bastardy Bond Lookup
« on: Tuesday 09 September 25 15:19 BST (UK) »
Just remembered in re looking at the tree that Ann Bishop also had another illegitimate child before Amanda Elizabeth, called Jane Bishop born 2 Jun 1846, baptised at Lutterworth 28 Jun 1846, she was buried there on 31 Mar 1847. From the baptism and burial the residence is the "Union" so the workhouse.
Jomot, are you able to check to see if there is any entry for Jane in the Bastardy Bonds? I am assuming it is probably a dead end too, but might be worth a look.
Thanks!

Thanks Trish
Amanda doesn't actually name James as her father when she married. She dropped the forename Amanda on most records (only her birth, baptism, death and burial use Amanda and her marriage and all census entries she goes by Elizabeth). While she gets called Mawby and referenced as James's daughter on the censuses, when she married Joseph Carter she married as Bishop not Mawby and no father's details are on the marriage certificate.
While my husband shares DNA matches with some people who have Mawby on their trees, it isn't conclusive as it could potentially relate to other lines further back in Gilmorton where that Mawby line centres during the 1800s and 1700s as my husband has other links to families in Gilmorton. Plus a potential line regarding Amanda Elizabeth's Bishop line in Gilmorton married a Mawby. Without some really definitive matches linked to closer relations of James Mawby, it is hard to say for sure. But it is interesting for her to have been brought up by James as Mawby but decide not to use his name/details as her father when she married. James Mawby and her mother Ann are the witnesses to the marriage too, which again you'd think maybe they would have encouraged her to give James as her father.
One day it might be solved with more DNA connections!
Thanks

Hi all
If anyone has the CD with the Bastardy Bonds for Leicestershire is able to do a check for me I'd really appreciate it.
I am looking for details pertaining to an Amanda Elizabeth Bishop. She was baptised at Lutterworth on 4 Feb 1849 daughter of Ann Bishop. Her mother went on to marry James Mawby 4 months later but I don't know for sure if he was her father. On the off-chance I thought it might be worth checking if there is an entry for her.
Also, Amanda's mother Ann was also illegitimate and was baptised at Peatling Magna on 7 Oct 1827, daughter of Elizabeth. Elizabeth later married a widower John March in 1836. So if there is any mention of Ann too, it would great.
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestions. The BNA do not cover that paper unfortunately.
I will try contacting the British Library to see if they can assist at all.
All the best

Wexford / The Wexford Herald 28 Feb 1820
« on: Sunday 07 September 25 15:36 BST (UK) »
Hi All
This is a bit of a strange one/longshot. In 2016 my husband's father passed away and in his possession were two original copies of The Wexford Herald - one dated Thurs 21 Feb 1820 and one the week later. The first one seems to focus the majority of it's 4 page content on details of the funeral of King George III, the second one only has the first 2 pages intact (one page printed on both sides) then the third and fourth page (again one page printed on both sides) has two sections cut out of it which seem to relate to content from the back page. There is one large chunk which is the majority of the page and one specific part cut out slightly to one side of it above a marriage announcement. The week before has a similar section and this seems to just describe the dates and details relating to the Lent Assizes for the Leinster and North West Circuits - so not entirely sure why that part could have been specifically cut out - the cut out does not seem to relate to the content from the third page as it is in the middle of a longer article on that page.
I have looked online to see if any newspaper archives had these papers available to look at for me to check what the cut out sections refer to, in order to understand whether they had anything in them of significance as to whether my father in law had cut these sections out himself for some reason (did not locate these sections in any of his other possessions) or whether perhaps he just randomly bought these old newspapers and one of them had already had bits removed before he bought them.
Would anyone have any thoughts on whether anywhere may hold copies? I did see that the National Library of Ireland has some but not for this time period. I might not ever find another copy but thought I would reach out to this forum for ideas!
Thanks
