Hi Chris

Thanks for the info. I'm still working through the previous details you sent. 

I did find a BMD marriage record on Ancestry for John Adams Rowles and Esther Hopson for the 3rd quarter of 1841 in Newbury District.  That ties up with your idea that he married in the same year as Joseph & Maria.

The 1861 census you mentioned for John and his family which shows Maria Noakes. The transcript has Maria as his mother in law, but on the previous census in 1851 she is listed as Maria Willis, mother of Sarah Moulding (widow).  Not sure where the name Noakes came from, perhaps that was her maiden name.

Ayway it is interesting trying to sort things out.

Kind Regards
Lesley

Hi Chris

I have been gong through the info you gave me and I do have one query at the moment.  Do you recollect coming across a Sophia Rowles?

On the 1841 census for William and Mary Ann Rowles there is also 2 children mentioned.  John (Probably John Adam) aged 20, Maria aged 10 and Sophia aged 15 who I assumed was a daughter.

I think she married Henry Tomkins in 1847 and depending which census you look at she was born about 1824/1825 in Newbury.  If she wasn't baptised then there would be no record, but she could be another relative and not a daughter.

I was wondering if you had come across her.

Regards

Hi Chris

I am looking for William Rowles born about 1808/1811 n Newbury.  He married Ann Ferris in 1830 in Newbury and his occupation was a dyer and cleaner.

I have found a William and Mary Ann Rowles  on the 1851 & 1861 census's living in Newbury.  He was born about 1783/1786 in Witney, Oxfordshire and his occupation is also a dyer. I was trying to check if these were William's parents.

There is also a John/John Adam Rowles born about 1819 in Newbury with wife Sarah (possibly Noakes) on the census records and also Joseph Adam Rowles born about 1820 in Newbury with wife Maria. Both John & Joseph's occupations are also dyers/cleaners.  Could these be sons of Wlliam and Mary Ann and brothers of William (1808)? 

If these are the same family I would like to find out about children of William and Mary Ann, births, marraiges etc.

Regards
Lesley

Hi

Can anyone tell me if there are any parish records available for Newbury for the start to the middle of the 1800's and if so where I may be able to find them?

I am searching for records of a Rowles family who according to census records came from Newbury but I can't find any information from this time.

Kind Regards
Lesley

Hi,
Does anyone know of a problem with the knightroots web site (www.knightroots.co.uk). I have tried to open the site but a message comes up saying it can not be found.  Is this a permanent or temporary thing?  I have found it very useful in looking for my Hampshire realtives and it would be a shame if the site no longer existed.
Has anybody else had this problem?
Regards

Quote from: bedfordshire boy on Sunday 12 October 14 21:27 BST (UK)
Richard Winser was said to be 45 on death in Dec 1883, putting his birth back to 1838 if the age is accurate. There's a birth of an unnamed Male Winser in Tenterden in the March quarter 1838. I'd be tempted to get this birth cert to see who the parents were to increase the chances of tracing them in censuses


David

Hi David, I had already ordered this birth certificate, which is for James Winser b 2nd Jan 1838. Don't know why it comes up as unknown male, the certificate is clear enough. His parents were one of the two Winser families in Tenterden at that time.

Ref Annie Harradine, yes she was born 5th Oct 1873 in Maidstone and yes I have her second marriage cert.  This shows her father as Edward Windsor. I also have the birth and wedding certs of the other children which all have the father as Richard Winser. 

Through researching I met Annie's great granddaughter from her marriage to Charles Murray.  The family stayed in Dover and last year my husband and I went to Dover to meet her and to see where my great grandmother and Nan were born.  Between us we have spent a lot of time trying to solve the mystery of Richard.  As she lives in Dover she is able to go to various record offices but so far nothing to tell us who is really is.  Maybe a puzzle that will never be solved.  Perhaps like some of the Harradines he wasn't baptised.  Maybe my 2xgreat grandmother and Richard were not married.
