Wiltshire / Re: Where to Look for Wootton Bassett School Photos
« on: Wednesday 04 February 09 19:00 GMT (UK)  »
Found this, The National School, Wootton Bassett
http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getschool.php?id=681

Or  Wootton Bassett Infants' School, Wootton Bassett
http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/community/getschool.php?id=683

Both the links have photos of the schools if you scroll down the page.

The schools are still going today, might be worth contacting them and seeing if they have any photos.

Wootton Bassett have a town council http://www.woottonbassett.gov.uk/infopage.asp?infoid=286 could also try contacting them.

Found a picture of a school http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/content/image_galleries/historic_wootton_bassett_photos_gallery1.shtml?12 Has the address of the Wootton Bassett Museum, I am sure they could help you.

Wiltshire / Re: Baileys Piece Highworth - any idea?
« on: Tuesday 11 November 08 19:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have found Baileys Piece on a map. Go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.htm type in Highworth, Berkshire and the co-ordinates 420400.192300. Then click GO next to the co-ordinates. Zoom in using the zoom in slider to the 2nd from top notch and you should see Bailey's Piece Cottages.

I do not know if they are still about today.

Hope that helps.

Cant sleep so decided to look into it some more.

Sadly George William born 1869, isnt my George. I have tracked him to 1901 Wales Census.

1891 Wales Census > George Darby, abt 1870 born in Shepton Beachan, Somerset
1901 Wales Census > George Darby, abt 1869 born Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset

I think the one JAP posted 1891 and 1901 for Millbrook is my George, so will have to wait to see what the birth cert for the children tell me.

I did find a George Durbe (does look like darby on census)

1861 Census > George Durbe, abt 1855 born Bishopsworth, Somerset. Residence 1861 Bedminster.
Cant seem to find him after that.

Think the hardest part is going to sit and wait for the certificates.

Wow thank you all so much.

This has helped so much, Will go and order the birth cert for Maud, as that was my Husband's great great Grandmother. Wasnt sure if that was her birth record as the surname confused me, but after all the information provided by you wonderful people i am very sure its her.

Then i can confirm the maiden name, then get the marriage cert to confirm who his father was. The variants of surname are confusing.

Thanks again, very much appreciated.

Family History Beginners Board / where do i look next?

Hi

I seem to be stuck and not sure where to look next.
I have traced back on my husband's side to 1901 census, and this seems to be the sticking point.

I am trying to find the birth and death records for George Darby.

1901 census details: Millbrook, Cornwall. George Darby est 1865, clay quarry worker. Born Taunton, Somerset.

However i cant find a birth record for George Darby from 1860-1870 born in taunton. Have tried the variant Darbey too and that only brings up 1 in 1869, which i dont believe is him.

Any help or advise is very much appreicated.

Cornwall / Millbrook Parish Records
« on: Saturday 10 May 08 04:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I hope this is the right place.
I am trying to find out when a few relatives were baptised in Millbrook, cornwall. But i cant seem to find the parish transcripts. I would like to buy or download them if possible too.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Dates i am looking for are from: 1891 to 1927.

Thanks in advance
