Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Dunwich Parish Marriages-BALL
« on: Tuesday 16 June 20 09:08 BST (UK)  »
I know its been a few years since I started this thread but I have been stuck ever since on the name Samuel Ball. None of the Samuel Ball's I have found in the area at the time seem to match as the possible father of my Albert Ball.

I have found the most likely Albert in census records but the father is listed as James Ball. He is a Collier as mentioned on the marriage record and they are living in the same area where Albert was born.

I am wondering if maybe the name was transcribed wrong from the register and Samuel should actually be James. Does anyone have access to the original register or have any other ideas?

My mother in law bought an Ancestry subscription for me to research her tree and its running out soon so don't have time to order a certificate in order to follow this line before my sub. runs out. I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.

Thank you.

Thanks BumbleB.

I found Maria's death on Gro under the spelling of Locke. I've found in this family while it is mainly spelled Lock there are quite a few times where the e has been added.

Thanks BumbleB!

Well his father John Lock was a Farmer so that fits. However it says he is single so maybe it wasn't him married to Sarah or they just put single instead of widower.

Thanks Everyone. I think Williams middle name is supposed to be Merson as that's his mothers maiden name. It was just misspelled on his baptism record. He never seems to use his middle name from what I can see though.

He was baptised in Bishops Hull, Somerset in 1816 parents John Lock and Mary Merson.

I haven't found his marriage to Sarah so I can't confirm that the 1841 census is him. It lists him as a baker and they have a 2 yr old daughter Maria in Bedminster Somerset.

I haven't found this couple in Bedminster again. I have found possible deaths for Maria in 1844 Bedminster and Sarah 1846 Tiverton but unsure if these are the right people.

I have been assuming that its the same William in Tiverton as in Bedminster as his occupation in the census' is Baker and the '51 - '81 census have him as being born in Taunton. This William dies in Tiverton in 1886.

I had seen a William marrying Caroline in 1847 but as I can't see the record I am unsure if its the right William. I was just hoping someone may have access to the original so I could get the Fathers name and occupation to confirm this all. Also if he is listed as a Widower that would help confirm that he was married before, possibly to Sarah.

Devon Lookup Requests / William Muson LOCK married in Tiverton?
« on: Sunday 07 June 20 05:48 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find a marriage of William Muson LOCK to Caroline (Webster?) Between 1841 and 1851.

William was born in Somerset and he is in Bedminster in 1841 with 1st wife Sarah (whose marriage I can't find or birth record of daughter Maria). By 1851 he is married to a Caroline and living in Tiverton, Devon.

I am mainly just trying to make sure that the William in these census' is the son of John and Mary LOCK and I'm hoping his marriage records will help.

Thank you for any help that can be given.

Thank you for that djm297. It's hard to know if its the same John Lock or not in that article.

I was just wondering where you got the baptism record for Mary Merson?

I can't seem to find it on FamilySearch or Ancestry and FreeReg doesn't have those parish records. I found a record for a Maria Merson baptised 2 years later at Clayhanger, Devon with the same parents names but that is a different person (I found her marriage to someone else).

Nevermind about the 1841 census. I found it under Loch and obviously they didn't bother to tell them that they weren't born in the same county.

Thanks. Those baptisms match what I found. I did wonder about twins but it seems odd they didn't baptise them the same day. I did also wonder if maybe Charlotte and/or John were actually baptised when they were more than just a couple of months old and they just hadn't got around to getting them baptised till then.

I did find that Samuel was a witness at his brother Richard's wedding in Middlesex so that ties those 2 lots of baptisms together, along with that 1841 census. (I have been looking on Ancestry for that 1841 census but can't find them. Was there name spelled strangely or something like that?)

Incidentally I found that Philip was sentenced to transportation but something obviously happens as just a few short years later he pops up getting married and living in London. I haven't found an acquittal or anything yet so I'm not sure what happened there.
