Cork / Re: PAVEY / PEEVEY / PEAVY family of Cork
« on: Tuesday 20 May 14 14:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jayne,

Can I ask how sure you are that William's father was Uriah PAVEY?

My William (born Cork 1816) appears on the 1841 census living with his mother Elen - she is 57 and from Ireland - in Temple, Bristol. His whole family (mother, himself and all of his siblings) are pipe makers. His siblings are Eliza (24), Elizabeth (19) and John (13). There is also a Jane (5) who may be a granddaughter. All bar William were born in Temple to Charles and Elenor PAVEY according to the Temple PRs.

I have associated my ancestor James PAVEY, a pipe maker,(born Cork 1805?) with this family as an older son, because he married Mary Ann MOON whose parents James and Elizabeth were resident next door on the census. The Christian name of Charles (or Charlotte in the feminine) is also very prevalent amongst the descendants of this family.

Based on this I think that William's father was Charles (born Bristol, Temple 1775) not Uriah.

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Grahame.

Somerset / Re: WHELLER/WHEELER/WELLER - Huish Episcopi
« on: Friday 16 May 14 11:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi ms8008y,

When Ruth Sweet married Walter Wheller on 26 December 1822 she was under-aged and needed her parent's consent to marry. She was therefore born between 1801 and 1804. Charlotte Vigar died in childbirth in 1796 and so cannot possibly be the mother of Ruth.

John Sweet remarried in 1800 to Ruth Chard (the widow of Anthony Chard and Charlotte Vigar's sister). BTW John's first wife Elizabeth Vigar was Charlotte and Ruth's first cousin. Under the law at the time such a marriage (to a dead wife's sister) was voidable under ecclesiatical law. I believe that this is why the marriage took place in Bristol - being the nearest place to Pitney that was not in the same diocese, thereby making a challenge difficult. The evidence that this marriage is of John Sweet and Ruth Chard of Pitney, and not just a coincidence of names, is in the Pitney manorial rent records of 1801 where Ruth's holding (inherited from Anthony Chard) is transferred into the name of John Sweet.

John Sweet died in 1830 and was survived by Ruth. In the 1841 census she can be found living with her son George Chard. She died in 1841.

I hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Grahame.

Cork / Re: PAVEY / PEEVEY / PEAVY family of Cork

Hi Jayne,

I think this is the same family. I have William on the 1841 census aged 25 living with his mother Elen aged 57 (a widow from Ireland) and his younger siblings in the Temple area of Bristol. The Temple parish register gives the father of the younger siblings as Charles Pavey. Charles was baptised in Temple in 1775 the son of James Pavey and Elizabeth Criddle. I think he must have been sojourning in Cork or maybe he was stationed there (if he was in the military?).

My Ancestor is James Pavey, William's older brother, also born in Cork about 1805. Connecting my  James to this family involves a little deductive logic. James Pavey married Mary Ann Moon in Bristol in 1827. Mary Ann Moon was the daughter of James Moon and Elizabeth Codelington. Looking James Moon up on the 1841 census shows that he was living in Temple - right next door to Elen Pavey. James Pavey married the girl next door.

Can you tell me where and when William married Eliza Forward?

Thank you.

Grahame.

Dorset Completed Look up Requests / Re: Childs and Hurlstone of Melbury Osmond
« on: Monday 06 January 14 13:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Kelly,

There is a transcript (in book form) of the Melbury Osmond Register at the Dorset Record Office. I have hand-written copies from this for Marriages from about 1530 to 1730 (when the online transcripts become available) and births from 1660 to 1730. I need to do some more next time I visit. Like you, the idea was to use this information to map out all the major families in the village, but I haven't gotten very far. However I can do lookups for the information that I have.

My tree is a public tree on Ancestry, if you want to take a look. It should be fairly easy to find. if you have any information that I haven't, I'd be grateful if you could share.

Regards,

Grahame.

Hi Kelly,

I was wondering whether you have resolved your query.

I am also interested in Christopher Hurlstone and his connections to Melbury Osmond. If you have any further information I'd be very grateful, but as I am in the UK and a member of SOG, I can probably search the PRs easier and cheaper than you can. So if I can help, please let me know.

Regards,

Grahame.

Cork / Re: PAVEY / PEEVEY / PEAVY family of Cork
« on: Tuesday 15 April 08 14:14 BST (UK)  »
Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the advice. The trouble is that I really don't know anything about this family. They turn up in Bristol about 1816 and the 1851 census gives their place of origin as Cork but does that mean Cork city or County Cork? I don't even know that Pavey was their real name. It could have been an anglicization.

I posted this on the off-chance that someone might be able to give me a clue or suggest an approach.

Anyway thanks again for your advice. I think that I need to do more research in Bristol to try to establish at least a denomination!

Regards,

Grahame.

Hi Kenelms,

John Sweet was my great, great grandfather via his first wife Sarah Ann Childs. He was born in Hurcott, just north east of Somerton and was somewhat prodigious. Sarah Ann gave him ten children and Jane Davis eleven. There are also three more that fall in the period after Jane's split from Henry Hines, which may also be his. If you e-mail me privately e-mail address removed to prevent spamming and other abuse.  please use the personal message system for exchanging e-mail addresses. I'll happily share all the information that I have on both the Hines family and the Sweet family. You may also be able to fill in some of the gaps in my information.

Regards,

Grahame.

Somerset / Re: Wheller/Wheeler/Weller
« on: Wednesday 28 March 07 16:41 BST (UK)  »
Hi Pollyd,

There are three 'Sweet' marriages in Pitney between 26/12/1822 and 03/05/1823, Ruth Sweet's marriage to Walter Wheller being the first. The last was Samuel Sweet's marriage to Mary Ann Petty. I am assuming that these three Sweets are related. I am descended from Samuel. My question therefore is: Have you found any information on the parents of Ruth Sweet?

Thanks.

Regards,

Grahame.

Cork / PAVEY / PEEVEY / PEAVY family of Cork
« on: Friday 15 December 06 15:34 GMT (UK)  »
Has anyone come across a family with the above name or anything similar in their research.

Specifically, I am looking for the forebears of Charles Pavey and his wife Elen (Elenor?). They were married around 1800 somewhere in Cork but emigrated to Bristol, England around 1816.

Any help or useful suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

Grahame.
