Daniel MAGGS of Fittleton/Haxon

[B.E.]

Suzie,
Thanks for your input. We moved on a bit after that last discussion (you can see it's several months ago and I haven't touched this family tree since about last April), but I'm always interested in extra (or confirmed) info. Maybe you and I should take this offline so as not to bore anyone to death - and then make a post later if we find we come up with anything new between us?

I'm going to send you a personal message.
Cheers,
Brian

Hi
Haven't been back to this board for a while but noticed your post today. I'm connected via the Drewitt route (John Drewitt was my Grt x3 grandfathers brother) . Eliza Maggs c 31 Oct 1824 Fittleton, Wiltshire was the daughter of James Maggs abt1795 Fittleton, Wiltshire & Ann ? B abt 1799 Wiltshire. Her grandmother who was living with her and her husband John Drewitt & family in 1841 -  was Edith Unknown B abt 1769 Wiltshire her husband was James Maggs b abt 1768 Wiltshire.

Daniel spelt DANYEL in th Fittleton Baps is down as being bap 11 Sept 1796 bbs of Ann Mags.

Other baptisms found for Daniel & Mary as follows
Elijah 8 Aug 1828 Fittleton
Elisha 30 Sept 1821 Fittleton
William 10 May 1818

Hope its of help

Hi Mak. It is great to hear from you. We have traced our family back through Daniel Maggs 1794, Ann Maggs 1770 to William Maggs and his wife Betty.

I already have James Maggs 1768 in a separate database along with lots of other Maggs'. I see that his parents were William Maggs and Elizabeth Brazier. I had not considered before now that the mother of Ann Maggs is Elizabeth Brazier. Is that what you have? If not, have you tied Ann Maggs 1770 into your family in any other way?

Bye for now,

Hi Brian
I didn't have James Maggs 1768 parents. I have the Fittleton Baps & Burs and gleamed some Maggs info from there. But it was a little confusing as sometimes it was Betty and then Elizabeth then James Snr James jnr! Have only just touched on this side when I realised there was an Eliza Maggs in the Drewitt camp.

Still keeping with Maggs have you got any info on Sidney Ernest Maggs going back - who married a Daisy Sheppard B 1907 Ablington, Wiltshire (Daisy is  also a descendant from a Drewitt who was John Drewitts brother! breathe)

Many thanks
Mak

Hi again Mak. Upon reflection, I think that I did decide that the William and Betty family was different from the William and Elizabeth family. Both families had a Sarah; one born 1773 and the other born 1779. It is possible that the first one died so they named a later child after the one that they lost. I think, however, that the vicar was showing that there were two similar families and was trying to avoid them being confused.

I don't have a copy of the Fittleton baptisms and burials but did study the one in Trowbridge. Unless you spot anything to the contrary I thing it best to assume that there were two couples. They would probably tie in a bit further back but I doubt if we will be able to work out how they do.

Can you view Gedcom files on your home computer? If so, if you would care to give me your email address, I can send you a copy of what I have worked out. I can also send copies of some of the entries in the registers.

No, I don't have any info on Sidney Ernest Maggs, unfortunately.

Bye for now,

Brian

(This is B.E. trading under a new moniker!!)!

I've lost track of Mary Elizabeth Green (nee Maggs) b.1865, who ought by rights to have been living with her spouse, Charles, and children, including Gladys Maude, b.1903, at 7 Manor Terrace, Portswood, Southampton. I had the impression (from family folklore) that she was still alive at that time.

One possibility is that she was "confined" with her newborn daughter, Mary Octavia - I note that Mary Octavia's census record is flagged "Institution".

Can anyone help me out? Better still, can anyone find a death record for Mary Elizabeth Green, presumably in the Southampton area?

Hi Brian

I'm a Maggs and I have traced my family back to Daniel son of Ann Maggs (unmarried ?). Not sure of her parentage William and Betty or Elizabeth ? have you any information on this.
My branch of the family is through Edward Charles son of Ephraim.

Cheers
Tony

Tony,
Sorry, I haven't been able to go any further back than the unmarried Ann Mags (Daniel is described as "bbs" which indicates his mother was unmarried). It seems that Betsy, Betty, Eliza and Elizabeth were used interchangeably - where did you find Ann's parents?

Edward Charles must have been Mary Elizabeth's brother. She was born/baptised at Northam, Southampton, in 1867.
Cheers,
Brian
