CASWELL Family

[aginger]

Caswell Family,  My Gt Gt Gran[maternal]was JANE HEATH nee CASWELL,she lived at Coate RSD Liddington in 1881 when my Gran Maude Ellen was born,her Husband was SAMUEL HEATH  occupation Carter.  I saw it years ago on a Fiche but am new to PC,s, my feeling is Ogbourne St Andrew was their quoted Birthplace and now being able to read all your notes, thinking ,am I from this same group of Caswell,s?
On the NWOCP I see HEATH and CASWELLS listed very close to each other in Og St Andrew, was this a liasion?
I now find [from Mike Caswell] that  Jane was a daughter of JOHN CASWELL bn 1820 at Og st Geo and ELIZABETH BAILEY bn 1825 OstGeo,who were marr,in 1844 Marl. siblings being SARAH bn 1845 and JOSEPH bn 1850.
John[1820] was a son of WILLIAM CASWELL bn 1791 OVERTON, and MARY MORSE, bn Ost Geo 1793, who married on 21-2-1814 at O st Geo. sibling was WILLIAM bap 1-5-1814 at Ost Geo.William Caswell,s parents were WILLIAM CASWELL and ANN NEATE who married on24-6-1790 at Overton.   Anyone else have any of these??  Allen.

Hi Spec

Not sure whether you will have received an earlier message - I'm new to this confusing game. However, you seem to have some relatives in common with my wife's family in the names that you mention. I was wondering whether you could throw any light on the parentage of Mary Caswell (b 1702) who married Robert Pottow (b 1702). I have them down as Will Kissell (Caswell) and Catherine Burchell - but I also have records of those same people a couple of generations earlier.

This missing link is quite crucial to tracing the genealogy back as I believe it may contain links to the Tudor line and also to William the Conqueror, through distaff lines and junior branches.

Yours sincerely,

Malcolm Twigg

There I was, minding my own business, doing a bit of Wiltshire Baskerville research, after several years lapse of the Gene bug, and I stumbled on this forum.

I'm trying to link the Caswells of Canada, and subsequently much of the USA to my Wiltshire line. One thing is for sure, all Caswells come from Wiltshire originally.

I'm the guy who did all the Caswell research (& yes, I live in America - born in Calne). I have more data on them and have a really good understanding of who fits in where.
And yes, I transcribed all those wills.

Perhaps you'd all like to send me your gedcom files  and I'll fit them into my main tree (100,000 names) and let you have the file back.

Looks like I found a load more cousins. WOW!

can anyone offer me any info to do with joseph caswell and his family of ogbourne st andrews he was my g grandad was a blacksmith his wife harriett ?and he had a few childen one being Frank my granddad
         thankyou. spec

Frank is in my database, but I don't have any info on his family line.

He is my 3rd cousin 3 times removed. His line splits at Timothy & Jane Wakefield, and them turning to becoming one of the largest families of blacksmiths throughout the Ogbourne villages. My line became bakers, and ran bakeries in Avebury, Calne and Yatesbury. My Gt uncle James William invented the famous lardy cake, and I can bake a darned good one (not like the dry rubbish you get nowadays).

You lived in Devizes I think. I met your mum Elsie I'm sure and had tea with her. We sent each other Xmas cards. (Cards aren't my department)

You must be Jayne Katrina! 

(Darn!   I'm G O O D !)
