Checked all of Crown Court and No 4 is written down 3 times with different families living there?  However more no COLLINS  or BRAIDS.

Many thanks for looking. That does rule it out as Daniel Collins' address at least, and Robert Collins can go on the list of possible relatives too.

To explain the multiple entries, I'd guess the house was divided up by rooms and they crammed in as many as possible. They don't seem to have cared much for fire safety and healthy living conditions in those times, as I expect you know.

Note for the moderator: I'm happy to close this thread now as it's answered my main query about 4 Crown Court.

Daniel Collins, lodger, unmarried, 20, Tailor, b. Cork

He is lodging either other folk from Cork, all Tailors.

The age and the birthplace are consistent with the info I have but I'm still short of enough info to say anything other than 'maybe'. Many thanks for your help though, it gives me a 'possible' at least and I'll just have to keep chipping away at it.

Hello, and apologies for the delay in replying,

Yes I am still looking for the information so I'd be grateful for any help anyone could give, even if it's just to rule out 4 Crown Court as a possible address.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Headbourn(e) Worthy late 1700's
« on: Tuesday 07 December 04 20:57 GMT (UK)  »
I've just discovered today that one of my ancestors, John Philpot was probably born in the above village.  In 1851 Census of Whitby, North Yorkshire he is listed as being 70 years old and it has "Hampshire, Edbourne Worthy" as his place of birth.

Obviously this puts him as being born in around 1781.

I have no idea where I can go for further information about this particular ancestor.  I've no idea when he moved to Whitby or anything else about him.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can proceed?

You'll have to use parish records, which is where it gets much harder  :)

Parish records are a bit patchy on the internet. The IGI is one good source and in fact I found two 'Fillpots' with a father John by going through this site:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyYorkshire_(T-Z).htm#W

...and looking in the records for Whitby. I'll leave you to find them yourself cos I always think that's the fun part. Just one warning though, don't trust IGI entries that say they are 'submitted' entries in the 'Messages' part of the record page, 'extracted' entries are usually considered reliable though of course few transcriptions are ever totally error-free.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask if I haven't been clear about something. I'm not entirely sure about dealing with parish records off-line so I'll leave that for someone else to answer.

Hi Liam,

I knew a kind RootsChatter would fine the answer for me.

I actually looked at that page on Genuki but obviously didn't read to right to the bottom.

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.

Darcy

My pleasure. Sounds like you do what I do when Googling, quick scan then on to the next one. Which reminds me, West Lavington...

Hi everyone, :D
 
I'm looking for some background history on the village of Ebbesborne Wake.

I can find very little on the net except a picture of the church and the fact that there were less people there in 1951 than in 1851.

I'd love a bit of advise as to where I can apply for some local history on the area.

Darcy

I usually find the best way to turn up stuff on places I've never heard of is just to Google it and see what comes out. Found this for you on this site:

http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WIL/EbbesbourneWake/

"Ebbesbourne Wake through the ages" is a book written and published (2nd edn 2003) by Peter Meers, Dial Cottage, Ebbesbourne Wake, Salisbury, Wiltshire SP5 5JF

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: 1881 census - great website
« on: Sunday 05 December 04 18:50 GMT (UK)  »
for some reason the whole link isnt highlighting.. DOn't click on it, copy and paste it into your browser...

http://www.lost cousins.com/

It's the space that's mucking it up. For some reason the forum software seems to be sticking one in between 'lost' and 'cousins' - I just tried to post the URL myself and it happened to me too - delete that space and the site comes up.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: prior to 1820
« on: Saturday 04 December 04 20:11 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help, I am trying to find  the Family of Richard
Andrews and Sarah Moody believed to be living in Deptford London, prior to 1820 .

Richard  was born in 1775 in Whiltshire and Sarah Moody,was born 1780  in Somerset.  Their children William born 1801 and Frances born 1804, where both christened at St Pauls,Deptford, London.

Found this in Pallot's Marriage Index:

Name:    Richard Andrews
Spouse:    Sarah Moody 
Marriage Date:    1792 
Parish:    WELLOW 

Seems a bit early date-wise, though a quick Google says there's a Wellow in Somerset. Hope this helps.
