Stewkley - HALL, DICKINS/DICKENS Families

[Lisa1975]

Hi, after a lovely visit to Stewkley today, i thought i'd post on here in the hope of getting in contact with some distant relatives 

I have the surnames, Hall and Dickins in my tree. Dickins has been spelt as Dickens on some records so i'm not 100% which is correct.

These are the names i have so far:

Great x3 Grandfather Caleb Hall b. 1821 Drayton Parslow - married Ann Griffin b.1825 Stewkley

Children of Caleb and Ann (only confirmed by census/BMD records - all born in Stewkley)
Henry b. 1846
Rebecca b. 1848
Alfred b. 1850
Selina b. 1852
Caleb b. 1854
Mary b. 1856
Frederic b. 1858
Ellen b. 1860
Elisabeth b. 1862
Richard b. 1864 - My Great x 2 Grandfather
Charles b. 1866

Richard John Hall b, 1864 married Emily Dickins b.1873 (both born in Stewkley) Emily i believe was the daughter of John Dickins and Elizabeth Roads (still to be confrimed by birth cert) John Dickins later married Ann Wesley after Elizabeth died in 1875.

Richard and Emily's children
William b. 1894 - My Great Grandfather
May b. 1904
Ethel b. 1905
Ivy b. 1909

If any of these names ring a bell, pease get in touch

  Hello Lisa ....

  Welcome to the family . Hope you got my pm?
 Stewkley as you say is a lovely place...I can walk around the village and pinpoint places that "our" large family lived in and near.
 I live close to Stewkley still ( Milton Keynes) I can look up Emily Dickins birth for you when the children go back to school in a week if you can wait ( save you some money) as our library in MK has a great family history dept and they have the records on film.
 Minnie I believe is the daughter of Rebecca who was " housekeeper" to Edwin Dick Capp the carpenter part of the now undertakers family also in the family in 1881 are
  Albertina Jane aged 8 Barnet Edwin aged 3 & Sabbatina Richard C Hall aged 1. Edwin & Rebecca marry in 1884.
  Let me know if you would like more lookups before I go.

Hi Tazzie, thanks for the pm.

Are you on Ancestry?  If so, i'll upload my tree for you.

I only found out about the Stewkley connection when the 1911 census was released as it was always a mystery where my Great Grandfather William was from. William died in 1982 and there's only my Great Uncle Richard still alive and he didn't know where his Father was born or his Grandparents names on the Hall side so we hit a bit of a dead end.

It was only when i ordered a copy of my Grandparents marriage certificate that we realised they were married in Stewkley (at St Michaels) and Grandad was living at 26 Ivy Lane at the time of his marriage. (no'26 is no longer standing  )

If you could check on Emily's birth that would be brilliant thankyou. I have worldwide Ancestry subscription if i can do any look-ups for you to return the favour.

Keep in touch

Hi Matt, the furthest i have gone back is John Hall born c.1786 in Drayton Parslow and he was married to Rebecca ?  Will keep checking to see if Susanna is linked somewhere along the line

   Hi Lisa....

 I am a member of Ancestry but not a subscriber at the moment...

  Some bits to be going on with..

  Henry ...have not yet traced
  Rebecca.... see above
  Alfred m Elizabeth Wenman Alfred dies age 31 1887
  Selina m William Rowe 1871
  Caleb yet to trace
  Mary A ... m Thomas Mead             Elizabeth a visitor in 1881.
  Frederick Hall m Elziabeth Numan need to check dates from file.
  Ellen   still to follow
  Elizabeth my line
  Richard ...yours
  Charles yet to follow.

  Going back I found a bapt for  a John Hall to father William Hall & Ann nee Willison in D/P records.
   William was son of William & Esther nee Bedford
   Ann was daughter of John Willison & Elizabeth HALL  ( sister to William above)
 So they appear to be cousins.

   Hi Lisa....

   Could not look at the marriage in the PR's as they only go up to 1887 in our library so could not confirm which Emily she was.

  Did marry off another couple though ....

  Henry marries Rhoda Sinfield in 1871  and by 1881 has 3 children Clara 6 Ernest 4 & Horace 1.
  Amy Ellen marries Timothy Twist.

  Got Frederick wrong..... he married Jane jones daughter of Henry a watchmaker
   & Charles later marries Emma Jane Newman.

  Caleb b 1854 I cannot see in 1881 but a death in 1882 is right for his birth year so a mystery still there.

    Our local has all parish records for Stewkley  BAPT  up to 1847
                                                                           Marr up to 1887
                                                                            Bur  up to 1868.
  The others I think may be found at Aylesbury but I rarely get over that way.
  Let me know if I can help further.

Thanks Tazzie 

I'll add the info to my tree. I'm waiting on a few certs, in particular Emily's married to Richard so hopefully that'll shed some light on things

Regards

Hey Tazzie,

I have William Rowe and Selina Hall in my family tree. Do you happen to have other Rowe family?
