Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: South Creake Marriage look-up
« on: Tuesday 07 October 08 11:04 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for that.
I need to find out if the father of this John BONEN was Nathaniel BONE/BUNN to know whether or not this John and Ann were my ancestors...

Norfolk Lookup Requests / South Creake Marriage look-up
« on: Monday 06 October 08 18:48 BST (UK)  »
Phillimore's Marriages CD shows a marriage between John BONEN and Ann LUNNAS on October 12th 1802 at South Creake.   I wonder if anyone is able to do a  look-up on the Parish Records for me to see if the groom's father is given and who the witnesses are if given.   I think the bride's name might be LUNNIS not LUNNAS as a probable birth for her has been found on the IGI and its possible the groom might be BONE or BUNN.
TIA

Completed Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up birth/marriage for Mark DEWBERRY
« on: Sunday 03 August 08 20:14 BST (UK)  »
I am also trying to trace the Dewberrys, specifically John Dewberry who in 1774 married Mary Hill at Castor.   Possibly John and Mark were brothers?   There is a William Dewberry on the IGI who was having children baptised at Castor in the 1720/30's, also a William Dewberry having children baptised at Castor in the late 1700's so it would seem to be a local name at that time.

Northamptonshire Lookup Requests / Marriage look-up please
« on: Monday 22 October 07 13:09 BST (UK)  »
I'm hoping someone can find for me a marriage of Samuel ABBOT in the Peterborough area - possibly Sutton or Castor - about 1800.    His daughter Sarah, who according to censuses was born Sutton c1802, in 1851 was living with an uncle Edward NORWOOD, so this could possibly be the mother's name.   Edward was also born in Sutton, c1784.

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Baptism look-up requested - FARMER, Bosbury

Thank you for your reply.   It was just a long shot that someone might have access to the relevant records, or even researching the same family.

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Baptism look-up requested - FARMER, Bosbury
« on: Wednesday 03 October 07 08:18 BST (UK)  »
I'm hoping someone can help me out here, please.    I need to find baptisms for James FARMER, c1846 and Eliza FARMER c1843.   Their brother Joseph is listed on the IGI 19/10/1845, Bosbury, mother Phoebe FARMER and I'm anxious to find out if a father is given for James and Eliza.    2 earlier children were baptised in 1827 Bosbury and 1830 Munsley to Phoebe and Thomas FARMER but I have thus far been unable to locate any of the family on the 1841 census and therefore unable to pinpoint a possible year of death for Thomas apart from one registered AMJ 1843 Ledbury.   No births for the children appear to have been registered.   Phoebe is mis-transcribed on the 1851 census as HARMAN and listed as Widow.
TIA, Jane

England / Birth registration enigma
« on: Thursday 28 September 06 10:03 BST (UK)  »
With the help of a fellow Rootswebber (thanks again Sheila  :) ) I finally have a baptism date in July 1838 for one of my ancestors but have been unable to find the registration of his birth.   The censuses all give his birth year as c1839 which fits with the baptism being of a baby and not an older child.
Some confusion had arisen over the fact his mother was married to someone else at the time of his birth, she was widowed 3 years later and remarried to my ancestors father.   On all the censuses he carries the name of his natural father which was his middle name at his baptism.
I've searched and searched for his registration in the name of his natural father and the name at his baptism with as many variations on spelling as I can come up with and found nothing.
Is it possible the birth was never registered?    Was this a common occurence especially if there was some scandal surrounding the birth?   Or is it more likely that the registrar may have mis-spelt the name totally?
Also I'm wondering about how a person can be baptised with one surname and then using another name for the rest of his life.    Would the names have to be changed 'officially' on his mother's remarriage or did people not bother too much with that sort of thing back then?
So many questions.....
