Somerset Lookup Requests / Re: SPARROW in Frome
« on: Tuesday 03 February 09 12:16 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Jo,

I'll email the museum and ask them if they have anything, never know, something interesting might come up to put some 'flesh on the bones' so to speak.

I'll check out the gomez website again, I hadnt thought to use the search facility!  I only used the set menus.

I also found the birth entry of one John and Matilda's children so i ordered the birth certificate last night to check Matilda's name - probably something I should have done a long time ago but I completely forgot about certificates after 1837 as I've been so engrossed in pre-1837 research for so long!!  I probably could've saved myself a whole load of time by doing this originally!!

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Jo,

The first children were born c1844 to 1846.  Was it usual for children to be born before the parents married do you think?

I've searched the gomezsmart site but come up with nothing.

Somerset Lookup Requests / SPARROW in Frome
« on: Sunday 01 February 09 19:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

Is anybody able to find the baptism of Daniel Sparrow c1740 in Frome, Somerset?  I cant get to the RO and not found it on any online resources. 

I found his marriage online in 1756 at St John Baptist church, Frome to Sarah Trolip but no details of parents given.

Secondly, can anybody locate the marriage of John Sparrow to a Matilda c1840-1845?  The children's baptisms only state Matilda, not her surname.

Many thanks in advance,

Linda

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Bastardy Records/Poor Law Wiltshire - HENDON
« on: Saturday 31 January 09 14:52 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me find the father of an illegitimate child. 

William John Hendon was born in 1859 in Calne, Wiltshire and was baptised in July 1859 in Wooton Bassett, Wiltshire.  Mother was Jane Hendon.  Birth certificate is blank for father's details.

Jane was in the Calne workhouse from around 1860 until her death in 1876.  Jane was born in 1835 in Compton Bassett to William Hendon and Maria Bradfield.

If somebody has access to the Bastardy Records of this area for this time I would be very grateful to know if there is any record of William's birth and possible father.

Also, if there are any details anywhere of Jane's entry into the workhouse I would be most grateful for any information.

Kind Regards,

Linda xx

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / George Wardell Baptism Help
« on: Monday 05 January 09 00:54 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to locate the baptism of George Wardell.  His death certificate in 1860 gives his age as 54 which would put his birth sometime around 1806.  On the 1851 census he states he was born in Middlesex but no exact area was given.  His marriage entry in 1833 does not list any parents details and he was living in Lambeth, Surrey at that point.  Where would I even begin to look for his birth/baptism record and his parents?  I have hit the proverbial brick wall with this one.
Regards, Linda
