The Common Room / Re: Transported convict William Neal 1837 - what happened to him?
« on: Tuesday 05 January 10 06:54 GMT (UK) »
hi, joseph and sarah are also my ancestors....did you spot that sarah had a record for stealing wood, and joseph had a couple (sheep and turnips tops). their son james also had two records:one for wilful damange and another for stealing turnip tops.
thanks for the heads up on the previous husband. i'm told joseph had a previous partner too , mary hemmings. so i'll have to triple check whether early children really belong to joseph & mary or sarah and william.
did you find out what happened to William since your post?

Elizabeth's daughter Sarah was my gr gr gr grandmother. I live overeas too (NZ) so getting to BB is unfortunately highly unlikely for me - anything for chambers in the area that you come across may prove useful in the future even if i can't slot the families together for the moment :-)
Best of luck with your trip.

this is a long shot as I don't know how far back you have traced the chambers of Bow Brickhill sine this post but I was wondering if you have come across the group of children christened there with only their mother mentioned - elizabeth chambers? The children are sarah, isabella, william, john and fanny, christened between 1810 and 1822. If so, do have any info AT ALL on their parents?
thanks.
thanks.

bedfordshire/luton council have the doc i mention above plus two others i've found so far. one mentions bailey cottages and says that peter scrivener is deceased at the time of the document being 13 jan 1863. (he died somewhere between 8 oct 1859 and 13 jan 1863 based on their docs)

just a side note of interest on thomas custance and sarah scrivener...
they were mentioned above as living on Burr St...slightly interesting that i have traced her ancestry to an Elizabeth Burr. Also interesting the family living at bailey cottages as the national archives has a document linking peter scrivener (her father) to a transfer of land / 1000 year lease where the land was called bailey field.

thanks. - Makes sense , but can we be sure thomas is the father rather than step-father? i've sent my email address to you privately.
For anyone reading this in the future - I should have said 1891 in my post not 1881 ...oops.

hi, i'm adding this bit a day or two later:
looking at births for william scrivener (later william custance) we have three options.
1)William Kitely Scrivener registered Sep 1856 - Luton
2)William Scrivener registered Sep 1857 - Luton
3)William Smith Scrivener registered Dec 1858 - Luton
the last one's christening record shows his father as James Scrivener, so he's the one on 1871 census i tracked by mistake with mother eliza.
the first one is a little early but not unreasonable
the second one matches the ages in the census so is most likely but not 100% without ordering it and checking the mother's name - and it won't tell me the father anyway. what I need is a church record in the hope of an unofficial comment by the priest as I have seen on some others.
