London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: SANFORD, Samuel & Sophia - 1901 Census
« on: Monday 09 January 12 11:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone, I am really excited to see all this conversation about SANDIFORD.  One of my main lines is Thomas POLLARD who marr. Harriet SPENCER, and I have a Harriet POLLARD (daughter of above Thomas) marrying Benjamin SANDIFORD in about 1849.  I also have a Thomas POLLARD (brother of above Harriet) who marr. a GREENLAW and the witnesses were Benjamin SANDIFORD and Harriet SANDIFORD.

I have not been able to go back any further than Thomas and Harriet POLLARD (nee SPENCER).  I can't find her birth nor parents to save myself.

I sure would appreciate any help unravelling this group, they are driving me nuts!!
Regards
Maree

Thanks for that - I obviously need to dig a bit deeper, the HORSNAILL are one of my main lines.  Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Hi again, sorry, but I forgot to ask you where you found this record.  I note that you say 1872, but what was it for.
Cheers

Hi folks, it is amazing what you can find just by googling - I am always on the hunt for my HORSNAILL family and guess what pops up.

On your list it is definately Alfred HORSNAILL, Strood, Agent.  He is my 3rd great-grandfather.

Hope this helps,
Cheers

I am amazed! I have found very few even distant connections with my Purser family.............do tell me more  :)

Jane married George 13 August 1863 in Brampton and they had 3 children.  The last one was born at about the same time as George died in 1867.

Jane remarried in 1876 to William Upex.

My ancestor Lucy Purser (my 3 x great grandmother) was George's sister.  She married and lived in London but was obviously visiting Brampton in 1874 as her baby son died there on 23 July 1874 and was buried there.

It was finding the baby's death certificate that gave me the clues to Lucy's origins.  Jane Purser registered the baby's death.

Hi Barbara,
I have Jane Allen, daughter of Thomas Allen and Sarah Newman marrying George Purser in 1863.

Jane and George Purser had three children that I know of:  Mary Ann Purser;  George Purser (1865) and John Allen Purser (1867).

Regards

Thank you John,
I had no idea who John's parents were - I have Charlotte's Will but it only mentions her side of the family and who her sister's married - that was the only way I knew I was on the right track.  With so many Allen's and then my Allen marrying into Allen I was totally confused.  I stem from Charlotte's sister, Christian.
Cheers

Thanks for confirming that John - the names seemed familiar.

I have a distant connection to the Allen family as Jane Allen b Brampton 1839 married in to my Purser family.

Barbara

I just checked, I have a connection to Jane Allen who marr. Purser, she is my 1st cousin, x4.

Hello Maree

Looking at the censuses I would say that John is the son of Susanna and is the one discussed right at the beginning of this thread.

He has the occupation of bricklayer in 1841 and 1851 and also in 1861 when he is with wife Charlotte - assuming I have the correct couple  :)

Barbara

Hi Barbara,
Thank you for the census info - it gets confusing with so many ALLEN's.
