Wiltshire / Re: John Goldney of Devizes
« on: Thursday 23 January 25 17:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Vance. Thanks so much for your reply. I've had an interesting read of these links and the 1st Chancery on which I had seen ages ago was definitely worth a read again. I've got a slightly better handle on the family now and it indicates that in 1612 Gabriel had only 3 children alive then. He had married Robert Wrottesley's sister Elizabeth in 1588 (bur. Chippenham in 1601 as Elizabeth Farnwell I think) and they def had Gabriel 1589, Elizabeth 1592-94, Henry 1597-1601, Ann 1599-1616 and I think another Henry in 1601. The family is referred to as Farnewell alias Go(u)ldney from abt 1549! Online sources mention a son John born 1593 but I see no ref to him. There is a Jeffard Ffarnell / Goldneye bap 1594-5, bur 1596 so this might be a mistake. However this still leaves the mystery of John Goldney of Devizes died 1676 and his son Gabriel Goldney of Andover. Any more info to discover where they fit in welcome. There are a lot of Henry and Gabriel Farnwell or Goldneys to unravel in this family.

Wiltshire / John Goldney of Devizes

I'm researching the Gouldney/Goldney family of Devizes between about 1600 and 1660ish and having trouble finding any records during that period in Devizes. I'm trying to link John Goldney of Devizes will dated 1676, with John Farnewell alias Goldney, a son of Gabriel Farnwell alias Goldney, yeoman and Bailiff of Chippenham (bur. there 1639). The will gives the Administrator of John's belongings as Gabriel Goldney, Serge maker of Andover.
If someone can look in the Devizes bmd records during that period, or have any other info I'd be very grateful thanks.

Hi Vance.
Thanks for these links. Yes I have seen them. These are in fact Thomas's parents and are my direct line ancestors. I'm directly descended from their daughter and Thomas's sister Mary.

Many thanks for that one Vance. I'll investigate it. My Thomas was born probably in Dauntsey about 1658, so that might be his grandfather also called Thomas.

Wiltshire / Peacocks in Dauntsey and Christian Malford

I'm researching my Peacock ancestors in Wiltshire (primarily Christian Malford and Dauntsey) in 17-18th centuries.
One Thomas Peacock born 1658, will dated 13 Nov 1692, married Mary Hubbard, Seagry 24 June 1677. He lived at Lea & Cleverton parish. He had issue Thomas, Edward, Robert, James, Ann and Mary. I can see Edward bap at Lea & Cleverton 24 June 1677 but no other information. If anyone has any other info on this family please let know. I'd be very grateful 😊

London and Middlesex / Re: Richard Washington, Staples Inn, London

Many thanks both for all the information.

I had taken the Henry Washington baptism straight from Family Search without checking the original on Ancestry. So thanks for that Horsleydown. Definitely Southampton Buildings.
Thanks for the links to the Archive sources ShaunJ. I'll have a good look through these.

I've now found the burials of 2 of the children... Elianor at St Marylebone, Westminster on 2 June 1724 aged c. 5 weeks, and Henry at St. Sepulchre, London on 16 July 1719.

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Fletchers of Clea Hall in Westward PRs
« on: Wednesday 29 November 23 16:47 GMT (UK)  »
Hello.

I'm looking for help locating the baptism and burial entries of of John Fletcher of Clea Hall (1695-1756), his wife Isabella Senhouse (1692/93-1774), and their family in the Westward Parish records (Westward in Allerdale below Derwent ward, Cumberland). They were married 1/1/1716-17 and apparently had about 7 sons and 2 daughters?

Any help with this would be appreciated as the Westward records are not on Ancestry, family Search or Freereg.

Many thanks.

London and Middlesex / Richard Washington, Staples Inn, London
« on: Wednesday 29 November 23 15:04 GMT (UK)  »
Wonder if anyone has any information on Richard Washington, son of Henry Washington and Eleanor Harrison, of South Cave, Yorkshire (marr. 7/10/1689). I can find little info on him from online records.

All I know is that he was an attorney at Staples Inn, London a Inn of Chancery and customs house for wool, where he was admitted on 14/2/1717-18.

I think he might be the Richard Washington, Gentleman who with his wife Elizabeth had as least 5 children bap. at St Andrew's Holborn, London: viz. Henry (21/5/1719), Mary (23/2/1722), Elianor (21/4/1724), Robert (25/7/1725) & Elizabeth (2/4/1726-27). Their bap. entries state their home being at Southandon Buildings or Old Southanden Buildings. Could this be Southampton Buildings? It's hard to decipher.

I also found reference to Richard leaving a will where his son William and his daughter Mary are only mentioned. But I can find no trace of this will or it's date.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Trish,

Many thanks for the information and for helping direct me in the right direction. I had a look at the Earring St Andrews records on Ancestry and managed to find details of some children of Elizabeth Dand and William Mompesson her 2nd husband....
William Mompesson, bap. 1 Feb 1672, buried 19 Nov. 1673
Henry Mompesson, bap. 15 may 1674
There was a marriage of Elizabeth Mompesson & John Raworth, 7 April 1689
and Margaret Mompesson & John Chappell, 29 July 1690

Manage to find records for Mansfield, Notts. on Ancestry after a struggle and found the following...
Elizabeth, dau of Mr Richard Newby, esq. buried 28 Nov. 1656
William, son of Mr Richard Newby buried 3 March 1659-60
2 of Elizabeth's children by 1st husband.
