Buckinghamshire / Re: Edward Carvell (fl. 1800) and Reynolds (Hoggeston)

Dear Steve,

Many thanks. I wonder if he will turn up anywhere else in Bucks.  Perhaps he is the Edward Carvell of Hulcote, Beds.

Two Reynolds girls married Deverell and Anstee, which opens up a great deal of interest.  I believe neither had any children.

Dear Annette,

Many thanks for this - I have thought the same.

I hope that something connected to Nottingham might emerge; as an attorney he might have left a trail (can't find a Will yet).

I'll keep digging.

Nottinghamshire / Edward Carvell (fl. 1800)

I am looking for details of EDWARD CARVELL. 

He was apprenticed to FRANCIS BERESFORD of Nottingham, an attorney, in 1764; Edward was Francis's wife's cousin (she was FANNY REYNOLDS, born in Hoggeston, Bucks).

EDWARD was living in 1815, as he is mentioned in FANNY's Will.

I can't find him through general Googling, and it will be a while before I can get to Nottingham to look him up in the Record Office or the University.

Buckinghamshire / Edward Carvell (fl. 1800) and Reynolds (Hoggeston)

I'm trying to work out who Edward Carvell might be. He witnesses the will of John Reynolds of Hoggeston (brother of Benjamin the Rector) and appears again in the will of John's niece, Fanny, who asks for him to be sent a £10 note the Christmas after her death.

We're talking about 1789 for John's will, 1815 for Fanny's.

I'd be very grateful for any help.

I was barking up a wrong tree at a red herring!

My line goes Charles Wright (me) b. 1960; Elspeth Ferguson (b. 1935); Margaret Cooper Wilson (1897-1961); Gertrude Agnes Walker (1870-1970!); Wiliam Walker (1833-?); Samuel Walker (1796-1866); Samuel Walker (1722-1820); son of Samuel Walker and brother of Thomas.

No Jeremiah, I'm afraid in my case.  I was glad that - totally unconnectedly - I gave my third child the name Samuel.

Hi Claire,

Haven't managed to get back to Manchester yet, and don't have a LDS base near me.  Do you have any news?

Yes, I'd had a sudden block - can find my way around now!

Thanks for your reply: is there any chance of seeing the will of Samuel Walker you have a copy of?

Hi there - my Walker ancestors were also maltsters in Hunslet, you may have come across them in Church St if you've been looking at directories, censuses.

My ancestor, Jeremiah Walker had a brother b. 1767 called Samuel, I wonder if he's the one you have the will of.

Their parents were Abraham Walker and Sarah Greenwood.

It's so long since I've been on this site that I've forgotten how it works: I can see your posts, but none of the replies to any of them!

Lancashire / Re: Older Wills - pre 1861

Thanks, Mo,

I've sent a message to Preston asking for a copy ...

With regard to the 'xmission' list - do I take it that they have not yet transcribed the whole list of Lancs wills?  If I am still hunting, are there any other places I could look - do the Archives have a different record system?
