Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Enstone Villa, Ormond Road, Wantage
« on: Wednesday 01 August 12 08:32 BST (UK)  »
Yes, it's still there.  Sometime after 1911 Ormond Road was numbered - Enstone Villa in now number 8, though it still has the name painted on the glass above the front door.  It's one of the middle of terrace of four houses and has four bedrooms - two of them in the attic.

Kind regards
Jof

Sorry I realise that I've misread your response - it's the local records office or the LDS for the parish records.   Of course.

Thank you for your patience!

Thank you for your efforts.  I think that the IGI record seems about right as the birth of their first son was Q2 1843 in Bedminster.

I wasn't aware that I could get a register office to find a copy of the parish register entry...I had thought  I'd have to wait until I made a trip to the Bristol Records Office to look for myself.  How would I go about getting a copy from the register office - is it just a matter of giving them a ring, credit card in hand?

Many thanks again.

Thank you both - that makes sense to me.

Hi all

I'm posting on this forum as I'm new to RootsChat, and not sure where else would be appropriate, so Beginners it is!

I have the birth certificate of one of my ancestors (William George Cresswell Powell in 1852), and his mother is described as "Ann Powell, late Boulter formerly Kelson".  Which would be her maiden name? 

There is both a Ann Kelson and an Ann Boulter in the 1841 census in Bedminster...and I believe that she married Thomas Woodman Powell in 1842 - having found a record of this in the IGI - but not FreeBMD oddly.

So, your thoughts on the late / formerly issue would be most welcome!
