Australia / Local newspaper obituaries - New South Wales
« on: Sunday 16 October 16 16:19 BST (UK) »
I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me the name of, and contact details for, the local / regional newspaper(s) which are likely to have reported the death / funeral of two of my relations who died relatively recently in New South Wales, please.
The first death occurred in 1986 and was described as late of Berkeley Vale formerly Turramurra. This relation also lived at The Entrance.
The second death occurred in 2014 and was described as late of Wyong.
Since these deaths are very recent I don't intend to disclose any names publically.
I'm located in the UK.
Thanks.

Oxfordshire / Re: Tuffrey...Weston on the Green.
« on: Thursday 08 September 16 13:19 BST (UK) »
Darz,
I do know of this family but I suppose I'm only replying in the sense of a problem shared is a problem halfed - or should that be doubled!
Lucretia Freeman born 1808 in Weston on the Green is my 3x great grandmother via her daughter Sophia Freeman (born 1839).
I understand Lucretia's parents were John Freeman and Ann (I recall viewing some typed out details of the WOTG parish registers at the Oxfordshire CRO a good number of years ago, so there could be mistakes - I've not seen the original parish registers) - but I've not found solid marriage details for John and Ann nor who was the father of Sophia Freeman.
Have you made any progress since your original posting?
I think that one of my relations thinks that John Tuffrey was the father of all the children but that isn't borne out by their census description as step-children.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
Mike

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Shugborough village in paintings
« on: Friday 25 July 14 22:17 BST (UK) »
Thank you - that's a very kind offer. I think there are records at the county record office at Stafford and there's also a local studies section at Hanley library. What I was hoping to find, though, were pictorial records of the hamlet of Shugborough - which isn't an estate village but the sellement that existed at Shugbough prior to the estate. I don't think it's mentioned in Domesday but there were certainly inhabitants by 1300 which is several hundred years prior to the Shugborough estate.

Staffordshire / James Baddely died 1838 Rushton Spencer
« on: Wednesday 09 July 14 15:04 BST (UK) »
Seeking birth, baptism, marriage information about James Baddeley who died in 1838 (registered at Congleton, Cheshire). He lived in Rushton Spencer parish in Staffordshire and, apparently, was publican in Cheshire, maybe Staffordshire. His will mentions his father in law, Richard Mitchell. Thanks.

Well, OK, village is probably too grand a term - hamlet or settlement is better; there was no church there - the inhabitants used the church at Colwich. But there were inhabitants - Shugborough Hall hasn't always been there and, as I've mentioned, there are some pictures in the Hall itself of the remains of the village located near to where the 'Tower of the Winds' is now. The Colwich church registers refer to such and such (there are a number of different spellings) of Shutboro or Shugborough.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Shugborough village in paintings
« on: Monday 07 July 14 11:00 BST (UK) »
In Shugborough Hall, there are a couple of paintings which show cottages from the old village of Shugborough. Are there any other paintings elsewhere that show the old village of Shugborough?
