Devon Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Frost Families
« on: Thursday 02 February 06 22:07 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
Very pleased to receive your message.
I have been researching for many years and you are the first reply I have had from someone interested in the same family.
Have you been researching your family history for very long?
My husbands grandmother was Ellen Frost born Exminster 19 September 1870 to the said John Frost & Harriet nee Galsworthy, so a younger sister to your Bessie. She married Donald McLaren at Exminster on 25 December 1891. They had 11 children my late mother in law being the 9th. Ellen died on 23 October 1907 just 14 days after the birth of the 11th. child.
The death you found is not correct one.
John Frost died on 2 August 1900 and Harriet on 31 August 1900 and are buried in Exminster. They are the entries from the parish register.
I am willing to share family info.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Dorothy

Flintshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 lookup Hanmer please
« on: Monday 26 September 05 23:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Just read your request.
I have found an Ann Butler  aged 25 at Hanmer included in household of Lord Kenyon, Gredington Park. I only have transcription so have no place of birth or occupation. I can look this  up next time I go to the archives.
(Incidentally the Joseph & Benjamin Deakin mentioned previously were brothers to my husbands 2x great grandmother)
regards, Dorothy

Hi all,
Anyone researching Frost families of Exminster & Morchard Bishop?
John son of Henry & Sarah bap 1825 at Morchard Bishop, married Harriet Galsworthy at Exminster. They both died there in 1900. Large family. Only have info  about Ellen who in 1891  married Donald McLaren ( a soldier) who then joined police force in Flintshire.
Grateful for any info.
Thanks, Poppies

Hi again,
Thanks for the info.
A few years back I visited a daughter of Fred , (grandson of Samuel & Emma) she did not known who his mother was and he always said he didn't either. She had no info about family & Fred never spoke about them.
I live near Malpas.
Where are you? I assume you were / are close to where Clara lived.
Always pleased to have more family info. Regards, Dorothy

Hi again, Sorry but I have not heard about the Molecatcher of Wem.
I didn't know who Clara had married until I saw your message. (Incidently one of my grandsons is  Joseph Owen)
Who was Tom Owen? Was he Clara's son? I was looking through some newspaper cuttings today & he is a 'nephew' at Elizabeth's funeral.
 I do not know when Samuel & Emma moved from Pool Head to Hack Green (it was after 1881 census) or how many children moved with them. William went to work in Birkenhead for a time but was at Cotton by 1881 census and lived there for the rest of his life. He was married Emma Ennion from Handley, near Chester. Their eldest child was born in Tranmere in 1878.
Caroline married Davenport; Agnes married Jones;
Elizabeth married Wisdom; Joseph married someone named  Elizabeth; another daughter married someone named Ridgway; Mary was known as Polly; another daughter had two sons though unmarried.
Do you know anything more about them? Will be pleased to have any info.
Regards

Hi Neil,
Pleased to hear from you. Very willing to share research.
To start with. Yes, William & Mary were Samuel's parents.
William married Mary Austin at Hordley Church on 27th. December 1826.
Samuel was bap. on 30 Nov. 1829 at Hordley. There were 5 more sons Thomas 1833, William 1834 George 1837, James1843, Joseph 1846 &  1 daughter Sarah 1839. Info from Shropshire fhs index, Prees Green Register of Baptisms 1824-1837 & another source which I have forgotten.
On the 1841 census, near Bostock Hall Whixall, a Mary Powell widow aged 75 of independent means is living with William & Mary who I have assumed is his mother.
Samuel married Emma Deakin (dau. of Joshua & Elizabeth nee Lane) on 27th. December 1851 at Wem Independent Chapel.
Their children were William 1853, Annie 1855, Caroline 1857, Leah 1859, Mary 1862, Frances & Benjamin 1864, Elizabeth 1867, Clara 1869, Matilda 1872, Joseph 1874, Agnes 1875 and Lydia 1878 all born Pool Head, Edstaston.
Will post more info soon.

Occupation Interests / Re: What is the most interesting occupation in your family tree?
« on: Wednesday 23 February 05 21:14 GMT (UK)  »
My 5x Great Grandfather gave his occupations as Doctor, Surgeon and Oculist. all sounds wonderful but I am sure he was just a 'quack doctor' or herbalist. His brother had the same occupation and was said to have performed miracle cures.

Hello Neil,
Just seen your request for information about Clara Powell.
Sorry I do not have any information except that she was a sister to my husbands great grandfather, William Powell. So far have not done much research on William's brothers & sisters. Was Clara your ancestor? They were a family of 10 daughters & 3 sons of Samuel Powell & Emma Deakin.
Will be pleased to exchange information.
regards
