Many thanks again, didn't occur to me that Ancestry would get the name wrong! Will check out the Genuki site.

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup request - Salisbury
« on: Friday 20 July 12 15:28 BST (UK) »
Thanks Jane. I didn't know that Milford was a parish, assume it therefore must have had a church or chapel. I've always thought that St. Martins was Milfords nearest parish church.
A small anomaly in the updated LDS records, they list a William Randall born 1806, St. Martins, in the 1841c, another William Randall born 1811, St. Edmunds also in the 1841c. But using Ancestry to search this census the St. Martins Randall does not come up, despite a variety of search criteria, the St. Edmunds Randall does.
I suppose I've no choice but to plough through all the St. Martins districts in the 1841c, page by page to resolve this, in case Ancestry is not 'picking it up'.
What do you think?

I have hit a brick wall in trying to push my male direct line family history further back than 1805.
I have all the printed records, CD's of local parishes, also microfiche of Salisbury St Martins which is missing from transcribed records. His name is absent from all these Salisbury records I have and I must have spent £150 just in trying to trace this one person.
My G.G.G.grandfathers name was William Randall, with 3 different birthdates, Death. Cert 1805, 1851census, 1806 and 1841census, 1811. He died in 1859.
In the 1851c he was born in Milford, and St.Martins is the nearest church to this.
He married Ann Young in 1829 at St. Martins.
Any pointers as to possible future progress would be very welcome.

Apologies Ray, Sillgill, Toastbutler etc., for not giving enough information in my requests. I have done the research, starting with family memories and have not only photos of Sidney Frank Randall and Elizabeth Harriet Barkus, but copies of their burial cards. So going back through census information online was relatively easy - except that their marriage record was missing, despite the entry in the 1911 census of being married 27 years. Hence my request for comments on the accuracy/completion of the BMD index.
My name is not Rose, that part of my tree (RoseBaker) was an attempt to discover whether a distant relative was involved in a non-fatal naval shipwreck in the West Indies in about 1860. That research came to a standstill when I discovered that there were probably 3 possible fathers with the same name, all born within a couple of years of each other, in the same village (South Petherton).
My experience with Rootschat has so far been absolutely invaluable and I thank all those who offer their services so generously to all. I'm hoping to return the favour quite soon, for a limited timespan (1770-1820) and limited area (Salisbury and immediate area).

Thanks for reply. She was my g.grandmother, I didn't know her but my father did. Also from census from 1871 onwards and birth records etc.
If the marriage record does not exist then of course the conclusion is obvious!

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Randall-Barkus marriage
« on: Thursday 07 June 12 18:31 BST (UK) »
According to the 1901-1911 census, my g.grandfather Sidney Frank Randall, b. Salisbury 1861, married Elizabeth Harriet Barkus, b Paddington, 1864, in c1884. But I find absolutely no references to this, nor can anyone else researching this branch of the family tree. This has been a stalemate for at least 5 years.
Can anyone tell me if some sections of BMD are missing altogether?

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Cateaton Street Clothier

Thanks also Jenifer and Chris, just the information I wanted. As a matter of interest, George was apparently born in Wilton, Wiltshire, married 1802, Salisbury, had his first child 1817, again in Salisbury, but alongside the birth entry was this mysterious note 'Clothier, Ch. Passage, Cateaton St.' unusual because no other entries had notes referring to the occupation & address of parents. Thanks again.

Hi Sharon,
Many thanks for that, must be the same person, probably working with brother William. Thanks again. Tony Randall

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: Parish records - Salisbury St Edmunds

Good Day, Nell,
Another look-up request I'm afraid, this time for Salisbury St. Martin/St. Edmunds.
My ggg.Grandfather William Randall appears in the 1841 and 1851 census, but with two birthdates, c.1807 and c.1811. He was born in Milford. I have all the available data for the Salisbury area except these two parishes.
All (?) I want to know is the name of his parents.
The nearest assumption I can make is Elizabeth Cooe, b. 1783, Milford and George Randall b. Wilton, (I think). They were married in 1802 which could fit quite well. But again all supposition.
As I have been stuck for about 5 years with no progress on this I would be very grateful for any help.
Presumably my only other course of action is a visit to the Wiltshire record office, made more difficult as I live in Spain.
Incidentally, what does 'fundholder' and 'annuitant' mean? a pension?
Many Thanks
Tony Randall
