Berkshire / Re: James Hollick - Shippon, Berkshire 1801
« on: Saturday 13 September 25 07:20 BST (UK)  »
All true!  Family Search has entries for a baptism and a burial for Alice on the same day, but there is an Alice with a mother Susannah in later census so it's possible the next baby girl was Alice - that ones birth is appropriate.  And an Alice was a witness at a wedding, as pointed out. 

Shippen is in Berkshire and I can't find a baptism for James there.  Nor can I find a marriage for John and Susannah, when/if I do all may make sense.

Another reason for dithering about Alice was that mum Susannahs' place of birth varied from census to census.  In 1871 it was somewhere in Middlesex but I discovered there is also place in Wiltshire, more likely, but how did Middlesex creep in? 

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts and suggestions  ;D

I did contact the FHS but no joy.  I haven't found John snr and Susannah's marriage either and went down a rabbit hole following Alice before realising the poor soul had been buried as an infant.  I'll keep looking but thank you again, everyone.  Your help as always is appreciated.

Thank you, Neil1961. ;D

You're all kindly adding to my Hollick knowledge for Wiltshire but this post was about a potential Berkshire Hollick - will the mods feel obliged to move this thread?  :o Anyone who can work out who James's parents are would make an old girl very happy ;D ;D ;D ;D

Interesting!  I didn't have those but will look for them now - a few more clues!  Thank you once more, amondg!  I've been focusing on the origins of 'James of Berkshire' aspect as that's an important question right now although everything discovered is valuable.

Thank you  ;D

Ooh, good catch!  I hadn't noticed that so thank you!  Now, I've no idea who he is but it's another clue. 

My ancestor is Catherine Barnes, married to Henry Hollick.  James is the father of another James Hollick I came across on the tree of a DNA match.  All three were in Highworth, Wiltshire at the same time but James snr says he was born in Berkshire, Henry born c1795, claims he was born in Highworth.  If they are related it would double the DNA connection with this match.  I can't find baptisms/parents for James or Henry.

Thank you again, every little bit helps  ;D

Can some kind soul locate a baptism for James Hollick, born c1801 in Shippon, Berkshire, please?  He's living in Highworth, Wiltshire by 1841 but I can't find any records relating to his birth family.

And if, in the process, you find a sibling called Henry I'd be extra delighted.

Thank you  ;D

I'm away from the tree right now but I can say that no more Mortimer children were born after 1851.
