Gloucestershire / Re: Stiff Family Iron Acton - Anyone interested
« on: Tuesday 05 October 10 08:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi Julie,

Where in Gloucestershire are your Stiff's from? I have Stiff(e)s in Bristol including a Thomas who lived in Portland Square (where Robert Stiff was married, not sure that Robert fits with us though). I think the furthest I'm certain about is John Stiff and Ann Jones m Bristol 1784.

Regards, Clare

Hi Sue,

Lillias Blyth is also my husband's GGG Grandmother. I'm happy to exchange the information I have.

Lynda, a photograph would be fantastic.  I was reluctant to even ask if anyone could see if it was still standing.  We did a Google search and there is a photo of the inn on a list of restaurants and pubs in the Inveresk area.  We also have one about circa 1924.  I also have a photo of this Mrs Forman nee Marion Bowman. 

I notice you have Blyth listed in you family  list.  I have a GGG grandmother a Lilias Blyth daughter of James Blyth sailor, and Agnes Lownie of Newburgh, Fife. Is there any connection?

I await you photographic endevours, best wishes
Sue

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / STIFFE in 1851 census
« on: Monday 13 December 04 02:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I am looking for the following family (or any others with surname STIFFE) in Gloucestershire or Bristol in 1851.  In 1841 they were in Swansea, Glamorgan but are not there in 1851 or 1861. I believe they came from Gloucestershire.

Glamorgan Family History Society 1841 Census CD
District Name: Swansea             Enumeration District:  6 Swansea Town Piece: 1426/03      Folio: 043     Schedule: 138
Address: PICTON PLACE           
           
STIFFE WILLIAM             50   (c1791) INDEPENDENT                      
STIFFE ELIZABETH EVERITT   35   (c1806)
STIFFE FRANCIS W.E.        11   (c1830)
STIFFE ARTHUR WILLIAM      10   (c1831)
STIFFE FLORENCE ANNE        9   (c1832)
STIFFE SYDNEY BURROWS       7   (c1834)
STIFFE MADELINE ROSE        5   (c1836)

I think I have seen Francis in Bristol in 1851, but cannot find the others. I believe William may be dead by 1851.  Sydney came to Australia in 1852.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clare

Hi Jen,

Thankyou for the information. I will have to keep looking for them after 1841. I have found one of the sons, Francis, in the Bristol 1851 Census -
STIFFE Francis Lodger 21 Solicitors Clerk Somerset St Georges / Clifton
but don't know where the rest of the family was.

As I said earlier, Sydney (My GGG Grandfather) came to Australia (I'm in Melbourne) then to New Zealand in 1852 / 1854.
The parents William STIFFE and Elizabeth Everitt EVERITT married in Clifton, GLS 19 OCT 1827 ( British Vital Records) and the eldest son Francis was born Clifton 22 DEC 1829 (BVR). Can't find any records of the rest though.

The mother Elizabeth E STIFFE is on the 1881 Census in London and died Mar Q 1889, Paddington London aged 82. She was born Cheshunt, Hertford. I'd love to find out where the father William was born. Any ideas?

Regards,
Clare

Completed Census Requests / STIFFE ~ LOOK UP SWANSEA 1841 - 51 & 61
« on: Thursday 21 October 04 04:17 BST (UK)  »
I have found some ancestors mysteriously on the Glamorgan 1841 Census. I'm sure they were born in England somewhere (perhaps Gloucestershire) and have no idea what they were doing in Swansea.

The census info is: Glamorgan 1841 Census, Place Swansea Town, Area S, Number 33, Piece 1426/03, Folio 044.
The surname is STIFFE, Arthur William, Age 10, Occupation - independent
                                     Florence Anne, Age 9,  Occupation  - independent
                                     Sydney Burrows, Age 7
                                     Madeline Rose, Age 5

My question is - As they are all children, who were they living with at the time? Any clues as to why they were in Swansea?

I have found Sydney Burrows (my GGG Grandfather) travelling from England to Australia in 1852, then to NZ in 1854.  This was, until now, the earliest record I have of him.
I'd be greatful of any help.
