Hi Vince, I have the Worcestershire Gypsys in my line they are the Smiths. Sounds like they would be too far away to be yours. However just incase they did travel north I have a Reuben Smith 1816 married Ann.. probable surname Coles. I have found nine of their children. not much help I know. cheers Joy

Hi Rosemary, My great grandfather was Thomas Ford b1856 from Staffordshire. He had so many women and so many kids it would be interesting to learn more about your Thomas Ford? Regarding the Army records I have no idea where he served.

One Name Studies: A to G / AMES in the UK, West Midlands

I would be interested in helping /sharing information on Ames/Amis/ Amys /Amos from Rugeley Hinkley Yoxall Birmingham Middlesex Derby area's. My branch is Richard Ames b1758 married Elizabeth Deeman I can go further back. I have plenty of Enochs Solomons Theophilis and Thomas's if that helps anyone.

My brick wall is Obadiah William Ames born Pesth Hungary of british parents. I can trace him and his two wives and children right up to the 1881 census where I then find him with a different wife an Elizabeth Ames , then I loose him only to find he died in Burnley 1895 with a different wife called Maud Ames as the informant! It's so easy to know it's him because he was born in Hungary. Any ideas or Advice welcomed.

Carole I'm still searching for your Thomas 1806 I think perhaps we have to look for a variation on the spelling to find him. Joy

Hi Detheridge. I have loads of Amos who are actualy Ames. The name is often mispelt sometimes Amis Amys Eames and so on. Don't hold your breath but all mine are either brickmakers or gunmakers and yes I have two or three Solomons and Theophilis. Mostly come from Utoxeter, Abbotts bromley, Yoxall Leicester, Rugeley, Birmingham and Middlesex. If anyone has ancestors in those area's  PM me with the details of who they are looking for I will do my best to help.

Wouldn't it be nice if they had an episode of "Who do you think you are" with just an ordinary person off the street. Some of their ancestors would be much more interesting I think.
Cheers JOy
