Warwickshire / Re: thomas tustin and mary ann blizzard
« on: Tuesday 04 March 08 16:00 GMT (UK)  »

I have some Tustin blood. I have traced mine to Leicester from Coventry, further back to Middleton Cheney (many in that area) with my researches finding earliest identifiable of that line in Hook Norton. Do you have any more on your Thomas, eg. parentage?

Berkshire / Re: 'Beau Regard Hotel' - Clapcot/Wallingford
« on: Tuesday 06 November 07 15:27 GMT (UK)  »
OK, I stand corrected again! Maybe Reading library has other reference material. Maybe the small Wallingford library has something to offer. I can't find any reference to more than one hotel located at Clapcot but there obviously was Kieron's 'Beau Regard' at some time in the early 20th C.

If it's of any interest - there's a set of photos (taken by Henry W Taunt in 1882 and later and part of the Frith collection) featuring Shillingford Bridge & the Swan hotel before & after its extension and name change - these are accessible on 'viewfinder.english-heritage.org.uk. '  where Shillingford is given a 'Warborough Oxon' tag.

Trying to find 1901 location of Frederick James Clark born Arden, North Yorks 1877 and in 1901 believed to be a valet or under-butler to the Lord Lieutenant of Fermanagh. He later moved to London.

Any help much appreciated.

Pardon me - I meant between 1841 and 1881 census returns. I don't think it is listed in the 1901 census either, which indicates a first appearance is in the 1910s and your researches show its existence by 1915 - maybe it was the Swan, renamed (if only one hotel was listed).

You might be able to check this on later 20th century census returns (not yet available online but surely you'll find them at Reading library) to determine the exact location from the sequence of listings. If it were a new build, that is likely to be on the west of the Thames (the east side being Shillingford) so it was probably constructed on the west bank, just upriver beyond the Swan, later being incorporated into the present hotel complex.

When I last visited the present hotel there were some early photographs of the local area displayed in the bar.

Good hunting.

The present day Shillingford Bridge Hotel (tel 01202 208 726) is part of the Forestdale Hotel group and has its own website. It stands at the Wallingford end of Shillingford Bridge at Shillingford Hill. The 'settlement' was formerly known as Clapcot and appears as such on the 1841 - 1881 UK census returns.

There is no Beau Regarde listed at any time - the present day hotel occupies the site of and extends the original Swan Inn, kept in 1841 by my gt gt gt grandfather James Kirkpatrick b. 1778 Aston Tirrold who had married Mary Parsons but was by 1841 a widower. His second son Benjamin married Charlotte Coates and their three sons were all born at the Swan. James died 1849.

By 1881 the landlord was a Reynolds and the inn was still known as the Swan.

Look at the website thames.me.uk/s01350.htm for images of the bridge (showing the inn) through the ages.

Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Kirkpatrick - 1871 look up
« on: Wednesday 31 October 07 14:05 GMT (UK)  »
Jack,

Don't know about your 9aging) specific query but in the mid 1800s there was a number of Kirkpatrick brothers on the IOW and a couple of unmarried sisters lived together in the Henley on Thames or Reading area. LDS records may shed some light on them.

One (a James) went bankrupt - a (free) search for Kirkpatrick on Google will throw up some those details  - I saw a reference earlier today to Newport, Carisbrooke etc.

Another was a George. I think there may have been a William and a knighthood somewhere there.  I think they were lawyers.

My own notes show that on 20.08.1858 a James Kirkpatrick died at Newport IOW He was brother of a Samuel who was a grocer of 91 Queen St, Cheapside London. I don't know of a link to the Berkshire / Aston Tirrold & Uffington line but there may be one- certainly descendants of that family migrated to Caversham, Henley and London areas.
