Bullock Family of Castlemorton

[thomasg]

Does anyone have any information about the Bullock family in Castlmorton prior to 1819?

My relative Samuel Bullock was born in Castlemorton in c1819 and married Mary Ann Dyer of Cheltenham area in the 1840's.  Samuel's farther Peter Bullock was also born in Castlemorton in 1782 and married Margaret Freeman in 1818.

I cannot find any information about siblings or offspring of Samuel and his father Peter nor can I find any information regarding earlier generations.

If anyone has any information they can share with me I would be most grateful.

Kind Regards

Gareth

Gareth,

Your Bullock family can be found in the IGI (International Genealogical Index).  They have extensive birth and marriage records for Castlemorton going back to the 1600s.  Start here:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountyWorcester.htm

Find the Castlemorton listing.  To do a search, click on the code number next to the year range that you would like to search (codes starting with C are christenings, codes starting with M are marriages).  A new search screen will open. Type Bullock in the box and hit search.  This will give you a list of all the Bullocks christened or married in Castlemorton during the relevant years.  The christening records include parents names so you can find the siblings by matching the parents names.  The marriage records do not include parents names, but do give the maiden name of the bride. 

If you need an explanation of the IGI and the batch number system, use the "click here to go back to the main page" link on the site above. 

The IGI is simply an index, created by transcription.  So there may be errors in it and the original record may contain more info (like father's occupation).  If you get the chance its nice to order the parish records yourself on microfilm and verify all the info. 

Good luck!

Hi,

I have only just come across this post, and was just wondering if you had come across these names in your research.

My GGGGrandfather Richard Morgan married a Hannah Bullock (in Powick - can't remember the date off hand). Hannah was christened on 08 MAY 1796 in Castlemorton, whose parents were William & Elizabeth Bullock.

I am at work at the moment, so don't have any more information, but would be very interested to hear if you have come across any of these names!

Kind regards,

Chui

Hi Chui,

Hannah Bullock is in my tree born 1796 in Castlemorton.  I have her details from the IG Index.  The information I am about to give has only just recently been found and as yet I have not verified the data.

Hannah is the sister of my ancestor Peter Bullock b. 1782 in Castlemorton.  There were many siblings as follows,

Richard Bullock (C)hristened 20/05/1775
Elizabeth B (C) 22/01/1777
William B (C) 23/05/1779
Peter B (C) 12/05/1782 my ancestor
Rowland B (C) 14/06/1785
Thomas B (C) 04/01/1787
Ann B (C) 17/04/1788
Mary B (C) 20/12/1789
Sarah B (C) 14/07/1791
Henry B (C) 23/12/1792
Hannah B (C) 08/05/1796 you ancestor
William B (C) 26/12/1802

Their parents were as you mentions
William Bullock (C) 29/10/1749
Elizabeth Clinton (C) 28/04/1754

Williams siblings were
Richard B (C) 09/06/1748
Thomas B (C) 01/03/1750
Ann B (C) 08/11/1752
Ann B (C) 29/11/1754 These two Ann's could either be a transcription error or due to the young death of the former.
Elizabeth B (C) 12/04/1756
John B (C) 05/05/1758
Samuel B (C) 12/04/1759
Samuel B (C) 01/05/1768 These two Samuel's could either be a transcription error or due to the young death of the former.

Williams Parents were
Richard Bullock (C) 14/03/1717
Hannah Stuart (C) 03/02/1722
Richards siblings were
William B (C) 30/01/1714
Ann B (C) 20/02/1724

Richards Parents were
William Bullock
Anne Pewtress married 04/12/1707

This is were my trail goes cold since William and Ann were not apparently born in Castlemorton but possilby in neighbouring villages.  Anne Pewtress possibly comes from Ledbury in Hereford only a few miles from Castlemorton.

I hope this helps.  Please do let me know how you get on and if you find any more news about the Bullocks which incidentaly is my mothers family line.  Also if you have a Genesconnected account look me up and I will give you access to my tree so you can see the details.

Regards

Gareth.

Our tree has a Sarah Bullock born 1794 married to a Thomas Scrivens, 10 Oct 1820, but our Sarah is listed as Upton on Severn, not too far away though.

Hi Mike,

I have just had a look through the information given to me by thomasg and our ancestors had a sister called Sarah baptised 14/07/1791, unfortunately I have not had time to look into the Bullocks as yet, and thomasg does not have a marriage for her.

Do you know the names of your Sarah Bullocks siblings or parents?

No sorry - she just popped up as a wife.
