Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Robert PAIN c1785 - 1857

Many thanks Nell for letting me know the name of Noah Payne/Pain's wife.  If you know anything else about Mary Fry, I would be very grateful.  But just knowing her name is wonderful.

Does anyone know who Robert Pain's brother, Noah Pain/Payne (born 1790 in Tangley)  married?  I know from the 1841 census that he was living in Southampton with someone called Mary, but no proof that that is his wife, although baptism records for some of his children give Mary as the mother's name.  I believe Noah and wife had at least 6 children: Mary (1813), Noah (1815-1845), Elizabeth (1818), John (1823), Robert (1826) and Ann (1831).  Noah died in 1849, so no 1851 census to provide more information.  He was my gx3 grandfather, so I would dearly love to know who he married.  It is possible that he married again in 1849 shortly before he died (a Noah Payne married Mary Canaway in Portsmouth in March 1849 and it couldn't have been his son as Noah jnr died in December 1845).  Any information gratefully received.

Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Gapin , Geappen, Gappen etc.

To anyone out there interested in the Geappen/Gapen/Gapin et al famiy from Eling.
I have now visited the Winchester Records Office myself and have seen the microfiche which contains the "photocopy" of the actual baptism record for John Gapen.
Whoever his mother was, she was definitely NOT named Anne.
Her name is 4 letters long, and the last 2 letters are certainly "ne"
The print is very fuzzy, but all 9 baptism entries on that page have been handwritten by someone named Ashe, Ashen or Ashes, who has a very distinctive way of writing his A's.  Hence I know the first letter of the mother's name is not an A.  I suspect it is actually a capital J (ie the looped sort), making the mother's name Jane. As the only William Geappen I can find living in Eling at the time was married to Jane Green, I am happy in my own mind that John is the son of William and Jane.

Is there anyone out there who is able to look up the actual Parish entry for the baptism of John Gapen in Eling in 1797, rather than the transcription?  I have a whole family of Gapen/Gapin/Geapen/Geappens living in Eling at the right time, but the only William I know of who is the right age to be John's father was married to a Jane (Green) at the time.  The Charles Arnott that John stole the ducks etc from lived in the Rushington area of Eling at the time, and my William Gapen (et al) lived in Rushington Lane when the 1841 census was taken.  I am just wondering if the baptism transcription is correct, or whether it should have said William and Jane.  The age is a bit out, but then not everyone was literate or numerate back then, especially in rural areas.

Gosh everyone, you have been SO helpful.  Such a lot of great information in such a short time.  I really am very grateful.  I will pass all this on to Joseph's Pearce's grand-daughter, who I know will be equally grateful and amazed at how quickly we've got so much information.

The only clue I have is the 1891 census, where he is living with an Annie Pearce in Portsmouth.  He is listed as being 19 and born in Eastbourne.  However, I can find no definite birth record for him there.  He is listed as being the brother of Annie Pearce, but as she is listed as being married, she could be his sister-in-law rather than sister.  Her birthplace is difficult to read.  Standbrook??? in Sussex.  This is the only census record I have found for him so far.  My only other avenue may be to get a copy of his marriage certificate, as this should give the name of his father, but I'm not sure if I'm that desperate yet!

Thanks for the quick reply, but no-go I'm afraid.  In the 1901 census Annie and her daughter Nellie are living with her (Boniface) parents in Eastbourne and in 1911 census she is living with her children in Portsmouth.  I can only assume that Joseph was at sea or posted elsewhere, but it would be nice to find him in 1881 if possible, to identify his parents.
Thanks anyway

Does anyone have any information on Joseph Pearce (born abt 1872) who married Annie Louise Boniface in Eastbourne in 1894?  Information from his daughter's baptism record lists him as a stoker in the Royal Navy.  I think I may have found him in the 1891 census, living with a sister (or possibly sister-in-law) in Portsmouth, where he is listed as a RN Able Seaman, born in Eastbourne.  I can find no other record of him anywhere.  Any information gratefully received.
Cheers,  Sue

Gloucestershire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Completed -1841, 51, 61 Lookup please - Purnell

Hi Bob,

Not sure if you are still looking for John Purnell, but in 1851 he, wife Ellen (Eleanor) and son Charles Hy (Henry) were living at 3 Union Street, Plaistow, West Ham (part of the London Borough of Newham).  John is listed as a carpenter and joiner.
