Blimey S.! I can't believe all the info you're digging up! Thanks so very much!!!
 

My Internet connection's gone up the creek (it's what you get for living in Eastern Europe); I'm copying all your new posts onto my PC to check them at home; I'll be on and off for a few days till we re-establish our e-service. I'll let you know what I've come up with. Thanks you!!!

I know we're going off on a tangent here, but I like researching the surname Vickress (makes a change from the Davies and Lloyds that I'm trying to sort out  )

Alfred Vickress (brother of Frederick)  married Hannah ? by 1881 and had two children - William Alfred Orchard Vickress and Sarah Mary Jane Vickress.  Alfred died Sept qtr 1900 (Hereford 6a 281)

William Alfred Orchard VIckress was born Jun qtr 1877 (Hereford 6a 503) and married Alice Maria Taylor in the Dec qtr of 1903 (Hereford 6a 1086).  They had at least two children Violet Mary Alice VIckress (christened 17 Apr 1904 in Marden) and Rose Jane Vickress (christened 27 Apr 1906 in Marden).

Sarah Mary Jane Vickress married Arthur John Walwyn on the 15 Jan 1917 in MArden.  The bride was 36 and the groom was 49.  The groom gave his father's name as John Ridgley.

Hi Spidermonkey

Free BMD has a marriage for Alfred Vickress March qtr. 1877 Dudley - one of the female names is Hannah Orchard

OK, now THIS is weird. Is Milbrow the name of a WOMAN?

This is what I found:

Marriages Mar 1887   
Hollings    John         Weobly    6a   721    
VICKRESS    Milbrow         Weobly    6a   721

If so then the children on the previous post are issue of >William Vickress and Ellen Morris...

According to a transcription on Ancestry, the witnesses were Ellen Morris and William Vickress

I can't believe all this! Next time I'm in the UK I'm taking you both for dinner 

I'm (again) without Internet at home; I'm copying everything onto a Word document to double check it at home; hopefully this weekend or on Monday we'll have the connection re-established. I wonder how many cousins are left in Kington and around that area... I mean Vickress is not that common, it's possible someone around might now about their Vickress ancestors... I have to call my gran's aunt to ask her about the Vickresses.

I know this is abusing of your good will but does anyone know anything, or can you find anything at all about Ellen Morris (née Mound)'s family? She came from Wormsley, married in Weobley, but that's as far as I've got, no idea about her parents et al.

Please keep the info coming up, I'm going to upload my tree online, then you shall see how much you have helped me!

By the way, is it possible to know the name of Frederick's wife, Ann?

Next time you are in the UK, you'll have to come to HErefordshire to see all these places where your ancestors lived!

According to the 2008/2009 Hereford phone book, there are 5 listings for Vickress families so it is a good chance that these are related to the VIckress' that we have been looking at.

Will have a look for Ellen's family, and for Ann's maiden name.

Perhaps over the weekend you could look over the info, and see what info you still need us to come up with, that way you get things that are directly relevant to your family (rather than me going off on a tangent!)
