Devon / Re: William STANBURY born 4 Oct 1796 Hatherleigh, Devon.
« on: Tuesday 17 February 26 20:35 GMT (UK)  »
From FreeREG for Eling, Hampshire.

William Stanbury buried 15th May 1826 age 48 years residence Marchwood ‘accidentally drowned’.

Anne Stanbury buried 9th November 1848 age 60 years residence Southampton.

Maybe this is the couple who married in 1824 in Eling, and no children ** because he died soon after.

Ann Stanbury whose death was registered 1840 Portsea has YOB c. 1785 which ties in with Ann Metters’ bp in 1785.

** Edit: George James Stanbury bp 1st May 1826 Eling to William x Ann, father labourer, residence Marchwood.

Also Sarah Stansbury buried 8th January 1823 Eling age 46 years residence Marchwood, possibly William’s first wife.

If it helps, our line is Stanbury x Bevan and has DNA matches to Stanbury x Metters, as well as Stanbury x Angel.

Ann Metters possible bp 1785 Launceston to William x Ann (possibly nee Culliss, married 1785 Launceston).

Also struggle with this site because of cookies which the mods closed down a thread about several years ago so don’t post regularly any more.

William senior 1785 Lifton to John Stanbury x Susanna Bevan. Married Ann Metters 1814 Plymouth.

The Fewings/Angel connection is uncertain. It could be through Peter Stanbury 1754 Inwardleigh to Samuel Stanbury x Mary Newcombe, but there is a Peter still in Inwardleigh in 1817 (his death) married to Martha Yeo (his Will names her).

Nervous of logging off in case the same panel comes up next time...  :( Hope the mods might be able to help here.

Cornwall / Re: Mystery of the missing bp for William Bowden 1770 Callington
« on: Wednesday 29 March 23 09:46 BST (UK)  »
Not sure. COPC has seven pages of bps in Callington from 1790-1800 inclusive and so not all entries would be missing. Another explanation is they were bp non-conformist and either the records haven't been transcribed or have been lost.

EDIT: COPC has Jno. Mildren bp 21.6.1795 Callington to Richard and Dorothy - could this be him?

https://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/search-database/more-info/?t=baptisms&id=5989502

Richard Mildren married Dorothy Coule 12.11.1774 Callington by Banns.

Technical Help / Cookies on RootsChat - can 'Reject All' be added please
« on: Wednesday 29 March 23 09:43 BST (UK)  »
A few years ago, a cookie banner appeared on RootsChat and the number of vendors to turn off was so great I stayed off. Then it changed and it was simpler to turn off cookies. Now it's back to the panel of a few years ago with so many vendors it's taken me 5 mins to switch them all off.

Is it possible to have a 'Reject All' button like many sites do?

Thanks, Flemming.

Occupation Interests / Re: Was an iron bundler the same as a stock taker?

More interesting info, thanks. Now thinking they are the same occupation as I'm finding more paper evidence that this group were siblings.

Blimey, that's pretty advanced for 1834.

I had a little dig about online and I found this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_stock

I could sort of see this being along the same lines as an iron bundler. Maybe.

Aha, that's interesting. And so a 'stock taker' might not be quite what we imagine today as in counting items in a shop or warehouse.
