Surrey Completed Look up Requests / Re: BAX family from Ockley, Capel and Dorking

Lucky you! In the end I had to just photocopy the relevant pages I wanted. Would love a copy, but finding one is like finding hen's teeth.

Enjoy!

Yes, I am still here. I pop in from time to time.

The Bax family were indeed Quakers and very wealthy landowners in their day. They owned Ockley Manor, Pleystowe Farm and many others in the area of Ockley, Capel and Dorking.

It is my understanding that the early Baxes met in their homes in Capel for their Quaker meetings. You may like to follow this up here: http://www.capelvillage.co.uk/about-capel-vilag

In addition, the best book on the Bax family, that gives the family tree for about 11 lines, is the book by Bernard Thistlethwaite. I have seen a copy in the archives, and it is excellent. You can find a copy in London at the Society of Genealogists. This should be your starting point. Can't recommend it more highly. You will also be able to view some old wills here for the Bax family.

Waterford / Re: Murphy Cole Connection & Civil Registration Index
« on: Saturday 24 April 10 05:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi Shane

Thanks for those, although I had already seen them while researching this family. This Cole is no relation that I know of, as from his South African death notice he was born in England and wasn't Irish. Only Teresa was. Now with a name like MURPHY it is no easy task to research. As it is I have been cursed with SMITH in my tree too.  :)

As you say, I will just have to put my hand in my pocket and get the marriage certificate if I want to know any more.

Many thanks for all your help.
Kathyn

Thank Shane for your quick reply. The fact that it may be a Non-Catholic marriage or in a registry, would that make any difference to the type of information I might find on the certificate?

Waterford / Murphy Cole Connection & Civil Registration Index
« on: Friday 23 April 10 19:40 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find out more information about my great-grandmother Teresa MURPHY who married George COLE in 1849.

The only thing I have is the Civil Registration Index. I am trying to find out if it has the name of his and her father on these entries as seen below. I would appreciate a look-up by some kind soul as I live in the United Arab Emirates with no access to records.

Thanks in advance
Kathryn

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / STEEL / BASTARD family
« on: Sunday 04 June 06 16:13 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace a sister of William Harold STEEL. He was born in 1887 in Rotherhithe, son of William Charles STEEL (born Bermondsey 1864) and Elizabeth BASTARD, (born Billericary 1863).

William's sister was Ethel May STEEL born Beckinham 1893. She married a JAY and sometime, either before or after the wedding moved to Colchester as she was there in 1954, making her 61 years old.

I also have a mystery man William Landell STEEL who attended Mt. Granville House School in 1876 and 1877. I have his academic medals in my possession but have no idea who he is.

Looking for anyone who is tracing this family which originated in Bermondsey.

Regards
Kathryn

Essex Lookup Requests / JAY - STEEL connection
« on: Sunday 04 June 06 16:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi Ian

I am trying to trace the JAY family in Colchester. I have a no name JAY who married Ethel May STEEL. She was born in Beckinham, Kent in 1893. She had a brother; William Harold STEEL who was born in 1887 in Rotherhithe, Kent.

In 1954 the family were staying at 300 Chowdrary Crescent ? I cannot make out the last word which was on her brother's will.

Not much to go on, but that is all I have.

Regards
Kathryn
