Thanks AGAIN Biker,

Had not got this far as was concerned that I might be 'barking up the wrong tree' as they say! Am pretty certain however (for now!) that this is the family I should be chasing, so am grateful for the info.

Many thanks,

JJ

Hi JJ

I'll leave it with you to verify etc.

In the meantime, this MAY be them, the surname is hard to read though.

1841 at Werham? Common, Stoke Poges, Bucks.  Richard Ag Lab 40 or 42, wife Mary 40 (both born in county), Richard 15 (not born in county) Marianne 12 (not born in county) and other children born in county.  Will give the full details when and if you are ready.

So the born on the seas appears to be correct, or at least not in Bucks judging by the other census entries.

Hi Biker,

Long time no speak! Appreciate your help last month but am pretty stuck and hoping that you can help me out?

Re the 1861 census you mentioned earlier ref RG9 Folio 64: I have been unable to find Richard and Sarah on this Census even with the ref. Have looked at 1861 census for Windsor Gt Park to seek Cumberland Lodge and still nothing. It is the only census missing from my records and am wondering how you traced it and whether I am a complete and utter twit?!

Still have found no possible marriage for Richard b 1822  and Sarah b 1822 Fulmer, and have not yet establised Sarah's maiden name, (depite having trudged round relevant graveyards in the rain!) Thus am no nearer resolving the birth at sea mystery (dammit!)

Anyway, would appreciate help finding the 1861 census you cited in your message of 15th Sept.

Many thanks Biker

Hi JJ

My mistake, I didn't give the complete reference for some reason.

RG9
Piece 759
Folio 64
Page 8

Apologies.

Hope that is ok now.



On Sarah's maiden name, I wonder if obtaining one of the children's birth certificates may be the route to go?

If so, there are a couple of possibilies the best of which appears to be

George William Mitchell
Jun Qtr 1849
Eton
Vol 6 page 381

You can find it here http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

I guess the Eton registration district covers Stoke Poges - see here http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/eton.html

Hi Biker,

Great! Got it! Reason I couldnt find it was not lack of ref but surname mis spelt as MICHELL.

Thanks again for the help, links and refs to birth for George. Very useful. Guess a bith cert has to be my next line of attack.

Fingers crossed and let's hope I wont need to pester you again!

Cheers

Hi JJ

No trouble at all.  Apologies for me making it more difficult by omitting the proper refs.  Don't get too wet!

Hi Biker,

Thanks for apols but no need, very unlikely that I would have found that census without your help.

Anyway, have found a likely marriage for 'Mr Richard born on the ocean waves Mitchell', and have ordered the cert in the hope that it will provide wife's maiden name and father's occupation. Two birds one stone and not even slightly damp!

Does appear tho that if this is the correct cert, the eldest son may have been born out of wedlock. Oh the shame!!!

Ok enough waffle. Just wanted to feedback as you have been so helpful.

Cheers for now

JJ

Hi JJ

Good luck with the cert, let us know how you get on.

Here's one possibility to bear in mind once you get the cert ...

1841 - Werham? Common, Stoke Poges, Bucks

Richard Mitchell (difficult to read but thing it is Mitchell) 40 Ag Lab Y
Mary 40 Y
Richard 15 N (i think it's N)
Marianne 12 N (ditto)
Benjamin 10 Y
Susan 8 Y
Sarah 6 Y
William 1 Y

Adults ages generally rounded down to nearest 5 years.
