Wiltshire / Looking for baptism of Lydia Cabell(Cable) of Farley
« on: Saturday 10 May 14 10:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am looking for the baptism and family of Lydia Cabell, who was from Farley (part of Pitton and Farley).

I know she married George Roberts of Britford on 1 April 1793, and she was stated to be of Britford in the marriage record. 

However, there is a bastardy order dated 5 June 1792, which states she is of Farley, and George Rabbits was from Britford, and a female child was born.

Lydia Roberts died in the workhouse, aged 80, in 1848 and is buried at Britford.

So I would expect her baptism to be around 1768.

I would be grateful if anyone could locate her baptism and help me find her parents and other brothers and sisters.

Many thanks!

Hi,
I have just seen your post about the Street family of Homington.  I am related to James Street, son of Thomas and Mary Street, and have been looking at this family for a few years. 

I have just found a few more references to them from local papers:

“ Wilts Lent Assizes “ .. There were prisoners for trial.  The first bill returned against James Croivter, who pleaded guilty to stealing a pair of boots, and a small quantity of bread and bacon, the property of Thomas Street, at Homingon.  He was sentenced to two …”  28 March 1867, Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette.

“Diocese of Salisbury  “  On Tuesday last, as a labouring man, of the name of Jacob Street, of Homington, was returning home from this city, on arriving the bottom of Harnham hill, he fell down and instantly expired.”  28 Oct 1833, Salisbury and Winchester Journal.

Accident at Homington – On Thursday, a young man named Street, in the employ of Mr Flower, fell from a cart in which he was riding.  He was taken up insensible, and was conveyed to the Salisbury Infirmary where every attention was paid to his case.” 28 May 1869, Western Gazette.

 Have you made much progress with the family?
Regard,
Madwith

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism of Richard WHITE - Hinton

Thanks Trish, for your help.  I will see if I can find any more information about Richard and his parents, I had hoped I might find his father's name on the record of his marriage, but it doesn't look helpful.
Best wishes

Thank you Victor, for giving me the date and place of their marriage.  If it is no trouble I would be grateful if you could take a transcription of the entry at the Glos. Archives when you next get an opportunity, but I won't hold my breath!

Again, many thanks,
Madwith

Hi Trish,
Thank you for you very prompt reply!  I have seen this baptism of Richard White and certainly the age and dates fit in, also the fact that the mother 's name is Margaret, as Richard's children's names included a Margaret.

My only doubt is that there are two Hintons in Glos and that Hinton on the Green is not very near to the Severn, whereas the other Hinton in south Glos is actually on the Severn.

Thanks

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Baptism of Richard WHITE - Hinton
« on: Tuesday 25 February 14 11:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I am looking for the baptism of Richard White.  He married in 1836 at Cheltenham.
In 1841,living at Cheltenham, his age is recorded as 40, and born in county.
In 1851,still living at Cheltenham, his age is 51, born Hinton, Glos.
In 62, at Cheltenham, his age is 62, born Hinton on Severn.

So I would assume he was born around 1800 at Hinton in South Glos.

If anyone could find his baptism, I'd be grateful!

Thank you!
