Rickmans of Hampshire

[nataz]

Hi I'm try to trace anyone with information on the Rickman family from Lymington. The furthest I have traced is Frederick Rickman born around 1840, father is either Joseph/Josieh. Any info would be great!

Do you know if Joseph had any brothers or sisters?

I have just been through the GRO marriage indexes from the begining of civil registration - Sep qtr 1837 until Dec qtr 1840.
Looked for a Joseph or Josiah but nothing for RICKMAN.
I did however find a Josiah RICHMAN.

I had tried a Joseph/Josiah RICKMAN on Freebmd with no results so tried again with the other surname I had found. Having noticed on the census data (if I found the right family) Frederick's mother was an Elizabeth - what do you think to this entry?

Josiah RICHMAN      Dec qtr 1838 Lymington vol 8 pg 282
Elizabeth DOWDEN Dec qtr 1838 Lymington vol 8 pg 282

You will have to think about whether these two could be yours but remember the spelling was how the vicar would have written it down. If no-one told him how to spell it then he would write it the way he thought it should be written.

If you do buy the certificate then in 1838 it gave father's names which will take you back another generation.

I Probably confused things by asking about the father, Joseph.

If Frederick was born in 1840 his father would have been born before civil reigistration.
There were 8 RICKMAN families living in the neighbouring parish of Boldre in 1817.  Joseph is a name included in some of the families listed hence my question about any known siblings for Joseph.

Hi there

It was the marriage GRO info I sent not the birth of a Josiah.

Have you found Frederick on the 1841 or 1851 census which should give his parents?

Sorry, realised that after I'd posted my message.

Hi I'm Steve Rickman and im tracing my family tree on the Rickman side. We do have a Fredrick Rickman but i dont have a DOB or Death. However looking at it it may be an younger Fredrick. I'm lead to understand that his Father was William Jonas Rickman born in 1874.

If you come across any of my "Rickmans" in your search please drop us a line and i have taken notes and will do the same for you.

Both my Grandfather and Great grandfather were William Jonas and my Father
was Albert Charles.

Kind Regards
Steve

Thanks for all the replies.

Quick update

Frederick Rickmans father was Josiah Rickman(Richman) born 1818 mother Elizabeth Dowden born 1808 Sway.
Two sisters, Emily 1846 and Jane 1848.

Steve - whats the DOB for your Frederick. My Frederick had several kids, one was called Frederick (1866) and another William (1871). Could they be any link to yours?

Hi Nataz

There are lots of Rickmans all around that area i know but we havnt yet discovered the DOB of Fredrick we think his father was William Jonas Rickman B:1874 Mother Francis Annie Bishop B:1875.

So this might not be a match, he also had a brother also William Jonas B:1899

It was worth a try!

Good Luck
Regards
Steve
