Sheasby

[popkiwi]

Hi - I wonder if Samuel and Mary Ann Married in Northampton or Warwickshire.

I see on the map that it is only a short distance from their birthplaces, Long Itchington and Preston Capes.

I have checked IGI bit it appears no one has transcribed those ares as yet and I don't know the Parish names.

Hi - I have just received your message and what you have sounds promising.

As yet I don't have a spouse for Sarah but I do have her three siblings, all born in Long Itchington.

My branch of the Sheasby family came from Warwickshire and immigrated to New Zealand (1874) where I was born. I have a record of the passenger list. I now live in Australia.

If you do find that we are connected then I have quite a lot of info and photos that would be of interest to you.

I have gone back as far as Samuel Sheasby born in 1774.

I look forward to your reply when you arrive back from holiday.

Regards, Evan Bennett.

Hi Debs - Thanks for your info. What I can add is as follows -

I had Sarah Sheasby, but not her spouse, so that was good news for me.
Sarah was born 09/01/1814 in Long Itchington, which matches her spouse exactly.
Sarah had three siblings, John b 04/10/1807, an ag lab. In 1851 John was living with his parents in The Cottage, Bascote and reamined single until he died aged 57 on 02/06/1867 in Bascote, Southam, Warwickshire.
George Sheasby, ag lab born 1815 in Long Itchington. George is from whom I descend. He married Sophia Clowse in 1833 and died in 1895. I have more info on them and their six children.
Ann Sheasby was born 02/02/1917 in Long Itchington.
I also have Sarah's parents, Samuel and Mary.

I have too much info to put on here so if you are interested please contact me via email - (*) - and I can let you know much more.

I look forward to hearing from you and maybe getting some more info off you, regards - Evan Bennett, Australia.
