Westmeath / Re: Westmeath Parish registers -Gilbert Begent 1847
« on: Sunday 29 May 22 19:47 BST (UK)  »
Thank you - I can find the family name Hagerty/ Hagerty from Westmeath Ireland around the time of my great Grandfather’s birth , but no Parish of that name appears to exist. It may be possible that Gilbert Begent was born to a Hagerty, who worked in London and the Begent family adopted the child and gave it the Begent surname.

Thank you for your reply I attach a copy of the page relating to Gilbert Begent (bottom paragraph) - I hope this helps - he was Church of England throughout his life.

I have recently be shown entries in a bible owned by James Begent whose youngest Son was reputedly born in Westmeath Ireland.
The entry state Gilbert Begent Son born November 29th 1846 - born in hogerty parish, County Westmeath Ireland.
Gilbert was back in London by the next census and it maybe that his Father was connected with the building of the main railways in Ireland
The spelling of hogerty may well be confused due to the hand writing, but does anyone know of such a parish.

.Thanks to everyone who has replied.
I think scOOp has hit the nail on the head by saying that the records for 1939 have not survived.
I will therefore give this information to the Rudge Enthusiasts Club.
As usual rootschat has come up trumps.

Thank you for your replies.
Unfortunately I must provide the DVLA with certified copies of the 1939 entries of the former Middlesex County council vehicle registration register.
I am uncertain where these records are archived and therefore look to your superior knowledge of the London system, as I am in the Northern part of Wales.

Some years ago I found this site exceedingly helpful in tracing my London Begents.
Now I really need help as I have purchased a Rudge Motorcycle without a logbook and need to trace vehicle registration registers formerlyMiddlesex County Council for 3/10/1939 for vehicle LMC 548, but I don't know where these records are now held and how to extract a certified copy to send to the DVLA Swansea as proof that they can issue me a V5C.
Thank you

Durham / Re: Teapot Query
« on: Friday 28 November 14 14:31 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks very much for your interesting post re Elizabeth Mayor. Unfortunately, I have not researched her side of my family other than her birth in 1737 and her death 12/5/1820. I am related to Edward Hodgson who married their daughter Alice Parkin (my Mother was Alice Hodgson Begent).
I note that Alice Parkin's Sister Jane Parkin married Johnathon Kendall, and I have a note on my Grandmother's Bible saying he was a cabinet maker from Kendall.
Unknown to me the old teapot was sold by my Brother and therefore is no longer in my family's ownership.such a shame.
Thank you for your informative entry.

Nigel I was pleased to find out that John Coates married Mary Parkin the same day as her brother Christopher Parkin married Elizabeth Mayor (my GGGG grandparents) and the web site referred to on page 1 of this query has been of great help in my family research, I hope it helps you with your research, as I have no other information on John Coates.

London and Middlesex / Re: Begent Charles and Ann
« on: Sunday 29 August 10 18:11 BST (UK)  »
Hi Trish
The 1824 wedding is correct and they do have children named Charles and ann.

Ist Child named Henry Charles Begent born 1825 at Totteridge Herts
Ann Begent born 1829 St Marylebone
Mary Ann Begent born 1835 Trinity St Marylebone
Other children with other names and my ggrandfather Gilbert Begent.

I  do believe Charles and Ann Begents are parents to James
