Staffordshire / Re: Parents of Rev Thomas Moss b c1739
« on: Sunday 11 October 15 01:35 BST (UK)  »
 ;D Thank you Welshjo, I had an apprenticeship record in 1754 for Richard Beech to Francis Moss chandler in Wolverhampton so the others that you found are great.  Francis Moss apprenticeship record is very sound so I will get that next when I go to the State Library tomorrow and the christening record for Francis too.  All coming together now that I have the Tamworth connection. 
 :) Thank you Dionysus, I have a copy of Thomas will which is where I could confirm the relationship to my ancestor Katherine Moss.  No, I do not know what happened to Susannah yet. 
 :)Thank you Willow 4873.

One of the reasons why I am trying to track the will of Francis Moss to give me confirmation to his wife's name and to try and find a connection to Donnington Wood in Shropshire.
Cheers

 ;D  Hi all, I can confirm that Ann was indeed Thomas and Katherine sister as I have just come across a book of poems by the Rev Thomas Moss published in 1827 by his great nephew B. Guy Phillips.  In it is a poem called 'On The Death of the Author's Sister' and her name was Anna.  This would have been written around 1767 when he was very prolific in his poetry.

 :o Thanks Willow4873, I am a little confused.  That marriage is well after Thomas and Katherine were born and not near Wolverhampton.

 ;) hi keyboard86, yes I agree that the baptisms are right.

Thank you all again

 ;) Thank you Willow X.  The only marriage I found for Francis was to Susanna Chaplain on 31/10/1736 at Rugeley St Augustine and this was after the christening of William the month before, so not sure. There are web pages on the Rev Thomas but these do not give his christening date or parents which is why I wanted to check for any other christenings.  Looks like he and Katherine were the only surviving children as I have a death for Ann in 1767.  Thanks also for confirming Francis death is probably the right one. I am hoping to find his will and other docs.
Have a lovely day  :)

Staffordshire / Parents of Rev Thomas Moss b c1739
« on: Sunday 04 October 15 21:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,
I am searching for the parents of the Rev Thomas Moss who wrote the Beggars Petition.  I am related through his sister Katherine who married Joseph Taylor.  According to the Cambridge University records, Thomas' father is Francis Moss, a chandler at Wolverhampton.  This is where I get stuck.  There is no record of Thomas or Katherine births.  There is no will in the NAA website for Francis Moss who possibly died in 1764.  Thomas will was very newsworthy and mentions a marriage settlement document for his sister's marriage to Joseph Taylor in 1767 in Shropshire.
I would like help with 1. the baptisms of Rev Thomas Moss and sister Katherine; 2. Francis Moss marriage; 3. Where I can find Francis Moss will or other information about him ? and 4. Where I can find the marriage settlement document for Katherine?
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated as I live in Australia.
Thank you in advance

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Re: GOLDER,Lewis born 1858 Thanet Kent
« on: Sunday 23 September 12 04:57 BST (UK)  »
I sincerely thank you all for the information on Hannah.  Especially wdurham ;D  No wonder I couldn't find her.  My cousin's husband is descended from Agnes and he knew there was a mystery about Agnes as she and her daughter (his grandmother) would not reveal anything about Agnes family history.  I live in Australia and another cousin lives near Mudgee NSW.  So I think visits will be arranged to find family links.

I will get back to you wdurham when I follow up on the Mudgee connection.

Thank you all again.  You are a wonderfull bunch of people :D

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / GOLDER,Lewis born 1858 Thanet Kent
« on: Saturday 22 September 12 03:05 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am trying to find the marriage of Lewis Golder/Goulder born 1858 Thanet Kent to Hannah ? born in Deal Kent.   Sometime between 1877 and 1886.  The 1911 census says they had been married for 26 years. I have checked the census for 1881 and cannot locate him.  The only marriage I can find for a Lewis Goulder/Golder is in 1883 to an Elizabeth Ann Evans but I cannot find a birth for this Elizabeth in Deal Kent,  If I can find out Hannah's surname, I may be able to track their children. In the 1891 census I have children born to him, Joseph 1877 born London, Agnes 1881 born Deal Kent, Jessie Born 1883 in Deal Kent but no record of their births under Goulder/Golder. The other child Elsie born 1886 was registered under Golder.

Any help to find out who Lewis Golder/Goulder married and how to find the childrens birth names would be greatly appreciated. ;) 

Thank you

Kris

Thank you very much Trish,MSAllen,Gardener and Di.  Your help has been very encouraging.  Trish, I didn't know about FreeReg.   Which is marvellous.  MSAllen, your website will keep me busy making connections. Gardener, that website helps a lot.  And Di, yes those references do help. 

Again, thank you all, and I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year 2012.
