Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Look up request for the PRIOR family from 1700 to 1800
« on: Sunday 02 December 12 14:49 GMT (UK)  »
Please excuse me Muffin, but as I have some Priors too, I wondered if I might intrude.   I don't think my Priors are related to yours, but there may be a connection somewhere.

I have a Thomas Prior  b  1818 in Farnham Surrey,  who married a Fanny Marsh of Alresford Hants in 1844.  They had two daughters Mary Ann  and  Louisa.    Mary Ann married Thomas Light and these two were my grt grandparents.  Mary Ann was born in 1856 at Owslebury, nr Winchester.   
If anyone has any information regarding this family, I would love to know.  Such as who Thomas's parents were.

Forgive me Muffin for using your thread.

Thanks Shelley, will take a look at that, but it rather looks like I am back to square one.  Would love to know what happened to him.  He was my grandfathers brother, and no-one ever talked about him when I was young.    There was always a mystery about him.

O thank you,  how can I go about finding if the one travelling to New York is the one.  Do you know the name of the ship ?     If I get a death certificate for the other one will it tell me where he was from.

I don't know if you can help on this little family mystery Jane,   Arthur had a brother Frank, born Lasham in 1875 to Eli & Betsey Purchase,   and after he left home to work in Islington as a railway porter was never heard of again.   Story goes that he was killed in an accident but this has never been proved.   I have checked the census for 1901 and it looks like he was in lodgings with an Edmund Watkins and family.  After that I can't find him anywhere.    Where do I go next ?!!

Thank you so much Jane.   I know other members of the family did live in Romsey for a while, and Arthur seems to have moved around a bit.  I have him down for living in Dorset also, but I know there is a large accumulation of Purchases in that area that are not related to my lot, or at least I have not made a connection yet, so I wonder if I have got it right.     Have had a long break from the family tree so I have to now get my thoughts back on track.     Many thanks again.

I wonder if anyone could possibly look up for me on the 1911 Census,  Arthur Purchase, born 1870 in the Alton area,  married to a Mary Knight in 1895.   Last known address at Winterborne Steepleton in Dorset.  I am looking to find where he went to after that as rumour has it that the family went Portsmouth way.  They had a daughter called Adelaide or Adeline.
