Cambridgeshire / Re: Elm [1841]
« on: Sunday 17 January 10 11:36 GMT (UK)  »
I got the wedding certificate I had ordered for William & Sarah back yesterday confirming Samuel as the father (as you suggested Selina).  As for age it just stated "of full age" unfortunately. 

Wisbech & Fenland Museum also came back to me with the baptism record for William, confirming Samuel was a Cooper - matching the profession of the Samuel detailed on the wedding certificate.  I have my man & last night found them in the 1841 Census too!

Thanks very much for your help Jan, Suz and Selina.  Much appreciated.

Now to start on Samuel :-)

Best.
Joe

Cambridgeshire / Elm [1841]
« on: Saturday 09 January 10 21:49 GMT (UK)  »
My great great grandfather was William Bellamy (b. 1841).  Census details I have been able to find for him are as follows:

1871: b Elm, 1841, living in Horncastle & married to Sarah (nee Roberts) w/ various children
1881: b Wisbech, 1841, living in Horncastle & married to Sarah (nee Roberts) w/ various children
1901: b Wisbech, 1841, living in Horncastle & married to Sarah (nee Roberts) w/ various children

My problem is that I have been unable to track William in the earlier 1841-61 Censuses (as well as 1891 oddly), and as such have never been able to track his/ my lineage further back.  There are other William Bellamys in the area, but nowhere close enough to 1841 to be convincing.

Whilst Wisbech is stated twice as the place of birth, the fact that the smaller town of Elm is stated in one suggests to me that it was probably Elm where he was born.

I believe that the Wisbech Museum has the Church records for this area - is there anywhere else I should be looking?

All the best.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Timothy Horsman
« on: Friday 11 September 09 17:59 BST (UK)  »
Timothy would have been born circa 1750. 

He was married (twice) in London (Surrey then), had all his children there and died in Camberwell Workhouse.  Having looked for his baptism in London/ Surrey for a years I recently paid London Metropolitan Archives to undertake a search of baptismal records of all the places I know he lived.  This drew a painful blank.

As such I am left to conclude that he must have moved to London/ Surrey from the area the vast majority of Horsmans (sometimes written Horseman) come from ie North Yorkshire. 

Timothy was inconsiderate enough to die just a few weeks before the 1841 Census so would anyone know where I should start to looking for N Yorkshire records which might contain a clue?

Many thanks.
Joe

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Help please: Alice Elizabeth Holden - Failsworth
« on: Monday 19 February 07 23:03 GMT (UK)  »
A good friend of mine is trying to find out details of the lady I believe is her grandmother.  Her name was Alice Elizabeth Holden nee Wylde, and she died in Failsworth.

Her problem is that she needs to find out the date of her birth & death.  I've tried to find this out through various searches, but have so far drawn a blank.  If there's any way anyone can help that would be enormously appreciated.

She believes that Alice was born circa 1909-1911, possibly in Failsworth, and died in 1996, again in Failsworth.

With best wishes & all fingers crossed.

Thanks for this Carol.  Looks really promising.  Presumably Mary's the wife & either Henry or Richard the father.
