Hertfordshire / Re: WESLEY - Straw Hat Manufacturers St. Albans
« on: Monday 05 November 07 22:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi Betty
Ancestry does have problems with Hertfordshire. It has been mentioned by myself regarding St. Peter's. They have done nothing about it .....
See here for what is missing http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,156070.0.html.
I have heard from others that originsnetwork has better coverage. Cannot be sure myself
Cheers

Hi Betty
No problem. Sorry did not make it clear.
This would be your William as a child in 1841.

Hi
Quick check of my sources - is your one shown as a "William Westley" in St. Michaels - Pound Field? Parent William? William the younger is age 10 (might be rounded up / down though).
Siblings are :
Selina 12
Eliza 7
George 4
Martha 2
Mary 2
Twins??
Cheers

Hertfordshire / Thomas CARTER - St. Albans - Copyhold land
« on: Monday 05 November 07 12:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I have a Thomas Carter - who died on 19th January, 1846. He was living in Snatchup's Alley in St. Albans (St. Peter's). As I understand it these cottages were Copyhold - he certainly was paying "Scot and Lot" as his votes are registered in the Poll books.
I have had a quick chat with HALS and they say that they have a record for 1860 for "New Lane Squilllers" manor (his children were living there at least until 1871). Nothing else though.
I understand the land was sold to the Duchess of Marlborough in the early 18th century. Would the manorial registers be kept elsewhere ? National Archives or Wiltshire Archives ?
Does anyone know any more? It would save me a journey if someone believes the records do not exist in sufficient detail to help me find more information.
Many thanks in advance

Hi Denise
Thanks for the information. In 1871 they were in Finsbury, Islington - not a million miles away. Probably still around there for 1881 (nothing in census though).
Your ones seem the more well to do Carter's - what with your servants
Mine are of the more common or garden variety
In 1841/51 all the young girls were involved in the Straw plait industry - but so I suppose were a lot of people in St. Albans.
Thanks

Hi Denise
I have looked through "Jos* Clay" in 1841 census and cannot find any that match the IGI records. As I said before none in Hertfordshire. Also looked at Eliza* Clay, Martha Clay, etc. None came up that fitted. Maybe missing bits from census??
As an aside (maybe helps with later searches) there are families of Flacks and Clays living next door to each other in Mansfield, Nottingham - shown as weavers/knitting. Don't want you to veer off in a wrong direction though!
Do you think the Carter bit is a family christian name like it can be used in the US?
Could these be your flacks in the 1841 census?
Living in Lawshall Suffolk :
John Flack b.1791
Betsey Flack b.1797
Fanny Flack b.1825
Mary Flack b.1828
Eliza Flack b.1829
Emily Flack b.1833
Sarah Flack b.1835
Ann Flack b.1837
All born in County - living in WidenGreen? (something green).
Cheers

Hi Denise
Quick check on my indexes shows no Joseph Clay of ages 5 - 10 living in Hertfordshire in 1841. Searched all parishes.
Assuming they lived there.
Will delve further.
