ALLSOPP - Researching Family Name

[janan]

So it is all a bit hazy but would seem most likely that Richard went to America after both his parents died (and the line definitely continued after 1837 and you do exist )

I too am descended from  James Allsop and Ellen Wall via James and Susannah and Wandall Allsop etc etc.  I have found a Susana Allsop born in 1656 bit can find no verification for her .Can anyone please help me.  I cannot find any birth/christening confirmation for  James and Ellen. There are  no notes in the Wirksworth OPC.  Any ideas?

Hi Naomer

Welcome to Rootschat

I've not been able to go back beyond the marriage of James Allsop and Ellen Wall in 1626.
I have the marriage of James Allsopp to Susanna Wanndell Oct 5 1648 the 9 children of a James, no mother mentioned, are then  baptised in Wirksworth from William in 1649 to Wandall in 1665 and include Susana in 1656 - given the inclusion of a Susana and a Wandall I feel that these are highly likely to be the children of James and Susanna nee Wandell. I do not have any further evidence. I am descended from Richard Allsop who married Sarah Wigley in 1728, I believe him to be the son of the Wandel Allsopp born 1665. Are you most likely descended from Susanna born 1656?

Hello Jan I have names for  9 children for for Susanna  Waundell (spelt that way on her marriage listing ) and James Allsop but only 6 verifications.  Are you happy to share notes with me?
My line is from  Wandell Allsop and Mary Odgen,  Sarah Wigley, Joseph Allsop and Alice Spencer  Richard Allsop and John Allsop and Ann Ashover etc etc.
It seems like there is a brick wall - at present -  at the marriage of Ellen Wall and James Allsop.
I am happy to share my email with you.

Hi
Yes the marriage of James and Ellen has been a brickwall since I began looking in 1999. My grandfather tried to connect the family with the Allopp's from Alsop-en-le-dale but failed and I have so far not managed either. I am very happy to share what I have with you. If you post here one more time then we can use the personal message system and share email addresses.

So you are descended from Richard and Sarah (nee Wigley) Allsop's son Joseph born 1740? I descend from their son Wandell born 1736 - or possibly their son William born 1729, there is unresolved confusion over this which I can tell you about by email if you are interested. I have notes copied from a family bible by my great grandfather, which gives all the children of Richard and Sarah - your Joseph was apparently also known as Josh- I will send you a copy.

When you say you have 6 verifications of the 9 children of James and Susanna what do you have? I only have the baptisms from the Wirksworth Parish records.

Look froward to hearing from you

Hello Jan

Like you I only have the Wirksworth OPC  dates. I find them very helpful there. it is time consuming however if I have a query they are helpful.   
I have only been doing my family history for about  6 years so am a novice.   My husband's both  side arrived in Aus and changed their names hence a long hard search for them.
Fancy Joseph being called Josh that long ago.
I will wait to hear from you.

Hi again

When did your husband's Allsopps emigrate to Australia? Very unhelpful of them to change their name.

I've sent you a pm with my email. Look forward to hearing from you.

Would be interested to see any lists you have compiled see if I can match up any of my family.

Hi

Welcome to Rootschat

Are you descended from Wirksworth Allsopps? If so I would be happy to share my family bible information but you will need to post a couple of more times here in order that we can exchange email addresses by Personal Message.

Perhaps you would like to post some names and dates here and maybe we can work out any connections?
