Hi Steve,

My great, great grandfather was Robert Wilson, born 1849 Holbrook, Suffolk but he later moved to Kent. He was the captain of a barge and my grandfather always maintained that he was a gypsy. He had 5 children (Robert, Thomas, Elizabeth, Alfred and Edward) all born in Maidstone, sadly he drowned in November 1892.

I don't suppose he has popped up in your research?

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Baptism in Sproughton - BEESTON *Completed*

Hi,

I am trying to trace my great x 3 grandmother, her name was Elizabeth Beeston (later married to Robert Wilson) and she was born in Sproughton c. 1820.

I know from Elizabeth's marriage certificate that her father was Thomas Beeston and he was a labourer living in Sproughton in 1844. I have looked at the 1841 census and have found a Thomas but not an Elizabeth in Sproughton so I can't link him to Elizabeth for sure. I can't find Elizabeth on the IGI either.

I would like to find out who Elizabeth's mother was and if Elizabeth had any brothers or sisters.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have the birth certificate for Annie Brockway born in Semley, Wilts on the 7th March, 1865. Her father is John Brockway and her mother Ann (maiden name Harris). John Brockway is a farm labourer.

I thought that she may be an ancestor - she's not!
