ALLSOPP - Researching Family Name

[Kayzee]

Well the coincidences in family history never cease to amaze me. I doubt that your family has any connection with mine but I too am researching the Allsops with a distant cousin who lives in Melbourne!
    My Shepherd connection relates to Anthony Shepherd who probably married Elizabeth Allsop in 1772 at Westminster & they had sons Anthony & John. John bn 1773 was known variously as John Allsop Shepherd & John Shepherd alias Allsop. He died at 50, Marsham St., Westminster in 1841 leaving a detailed will but mentioned no brother's names. He did mention Frances Newman who was a neice. I'm being a little vague now as I can't find the will at the moment - bad filing system - but I think some of the detail is in a query I put on the Middlesex board some time ago. However, I have no reason to think that my Shepherd of Westminster had any relationship with yours of Gloucestershire & Andrew does not appear in my tree either.
    I'm sorry that this does not help but I will of course keep you in mind should I discover more. Many thanks for your interest.

Hi Warren

Welcome to Rootschat

Have been to the link but can't view your tree without a visitor's password. Your name seems familiar maybe we've been in contact through GenesReunited or elsewhere.

Jan

Yes it was GenesReunited - I am also descended from Wandel born Wirksworth 1736 or possibly his brother William ( will sort that out one day I hope!) In any case we are definitely both decended from Richard baptised Wirksworth Jan 1706.

Hello again...........you dont need the visitor password on my site as it only protects living relatives. Yes I remember being in contact with you on genes although there are so many ........

Allsopp builders in Derby?  I don't know where they come from yet, but I have a William H Allsopp who marries into our family in 1921 and is supposed to have run a building company.  His sons later work for him - possibly in the area of Uttoxeter Old Road, Derby.  There's a couple of William H Allsopps born in Derby abt 1890s that could be him - wondered if anyone could help identify/eliminate right branch?

Hi ercall

Welcome to Rootschat

The marriage certificate would hopefully give his father's name but if this is just an off-shoot to your family I assume you are hoping to identify him without this?
Presumably none of the William H's you have found don't helpfully come from a family of builders, so have you tried trade directories? This site may help

Robert & Karon,
    I have just come across the following which looks nteresting.

"This may be of little consequence for the original enquirer as I have little clue as to where your ALLSOPP family is in relation to Gloucestershire.  So here it is for what it is worth: My 4 x g grandfather William SHEPHERD married one Mary ALSOP.  Mary was born c1763. William & Mary married in Iron Acton, Glouc. I have Mary's parents if this is of any help.
Regards  Robert "

I am interested in Alsops who were in Chipping Sodbury, Glos. and Charles Alsop b.c.1781 who married a Ruth b.c.1786. If you have Mary's parents do you have any of her siblings?
Thanks. Toby.

G'day Toby,
Thank you for your question re siblings of one Mary ALSOP.  I think my wife Karon may have that information in her Legacy Program.  Later today, I will ask her to take a look and see what we have and I feel sure we may have those siblings. 

If we do, and the sibling/s match, I have Mary's line back to about 1540.  I would though direct you to my 7th cousin Kaye in Melbourne who has done that line of research.  Kaye is connected to me from about 2 generations back from Mary ALSOP

If you think there is a connection, I will ask you for a contact email address so that Kaye can make contact with you.

Wishing you and yours a very happy and Holy Christmas Toby.  May 2010 be a prosperous year for you in all your endeavors.

Regards
Bob & Karon
