CathayB's Scavenger Hunt......Everyone Welcome To Join In.

[CatOne]

Thought you might like to know a bit about the history of the place that your ancestor lived and worked (if he does turn out to be your Robert's brother, which it is looking like) and the photo would show you where they lived, maybe your Robert and family even visited him there.....

Hi Cathay  

You are not stupid ! LOL ... Cathay ... if we find one of your Robert's siblings marriages it will hopefully give us the dad's name ... We have your Robert with his mother Ann ...

We cannot find Robert's marriage to Harriet Isaacs ... so we are taking a different route .  

One of robert's brother's , it seems, may have runn the pub ..where Dick Turpine used to go ...

I have now found this baptism

BIRCH, Robert   Birth Date:   3 Dec 1829   
Christening Date:   7 Dec 1831      Andover, Hampshire Father:   William BIRCH   Mother:   Ann

and this I think would be his brother James

BURCH, James   
Birth Date:   25 Aug 1827   
Christening Date:   9 Sep 1827      Andover, Hampshire
Father:   William BURCH   Mother:   Ann

there are several other siblings

Right this is a bit of a leap,  but I have to go and sort dinner in a min and I wanted you to have these.

Also from Andover what looks like the baptism of William (father of Rober & James etc) and a brother and sister,  note the name Charlotte,  I am wondering if Charlotte the mother of the mysterious Henry was maybe not married and just may have been the daughter of Thomas,  named after his sister,  the dates would work I think but it is just a theory (sounds better than guess    )


BIRCH Charlotte    Chr   1793   Andover
Thomas BIRCH & Elizabeth
BIRCH William   Chr   1795   Andover
Thomas BIRCH & Elizabeth
BIRCH Thomas   Chr   1797   Andover
Thomas BIRCH & Elizabeth
