EDWARDS/BRAXTON in Kintbury/Hungerford

[GrahamWorthy]

I am looking for any information, or anyone researching, the EDWARDS family.  I have traced back to George EDWARDS b abt 1821 in Pewsey WIL

I am also looking for the BRAXTON family in the same area so far going back to Henry BRAXTON b abt 1822 in Kintbury.

Thanks, Graham Worthy

                        Hi Graham,
           
                   How much have you on the Braxton side.
              My bit of Braxton is Hungerford and Aldbourne..
                 
                     Have you come across this area at all?

                                      Lesanne.

I trace through Elizabeth Emma BRAXTON (b 1876) through to John BRAXTON and Ann SPICER and ultinmately to Henry BRAXTON and Sarah ?  All ofthese are associated with the Kintbury area.  I am a little naive about the geography but that isnear to Hungerford - right?

I have only recently started tracing this side of the family and thus far have depended on census returns. 
Cheers, Graham

I'm through Mary Braxton / Brackstone and other spellings.
  She had children before marriage (21/12/1824) to John Coxhead (from Ramsbury).

      I have papers from Hungerford in 1817, that state she has a child
                       and has to go to Aldbourne.

          My direct line is Coxhead. If you go on our website, there is a large section
                        on the Braxton's from the area.

                Mary is my gt gt gt gt Grandmother.

      Another site for names is :www.treelines.co.uk  I've had a look for Edwards but not much, still it might help with other names in the area.

         Having read all this back, if you can link to it, even just the various
                             spellings could be of help.

                                                    Lesanne.

It sounds like your line probably ties in with mine but need to find a link between your Mary and my Henry.  It sounds like youe Mary is one generation earlier than my Henry so it is possible.

Thanks for all of the help. I will reconnect if I find a linkage.
Cheers, Graham

Hi

I had a look at your Braxtons/Brackstones today

first from 1851 census - Kintbury Fo 21 - the emumerator has wrongly written Blackstone  - but I am fairly sure it is them

Henry H M 28 Ag Lab born Kintbury (they all were)
Sarah W M 25
John Son 5
Jane Dau 3
Charles Son 6m

from 1841 Kintbury Fo5?

George Brackston 55 Ag Lab Y
Henry Brackston 15 Ag Lab Y
Harriet Brackston 2 Y
John Matthews 20 J Carpenter Y
Harriet Matthews 25 Y

So it seems that Henry was the son of George - back to 1851 to find George

1851 Kintbury Fo 31 - again emumerator has written Blackstone
George Blackstone H M 67 Ag Lab born Ramsbury Wilts
Martha Blackstone W M 68 born Gt Bedwin Wilts
Isaac Reid Son-in-Law 23 Ag Lab born Wilts Shalbourn
Caroline Reid Dau 23 born Kintbury
Jane Reid G dau 5m born Kintbury

I think that Martha was Georges second wife and they most likly married after the 1841 census

- although Kinbury baptisms are supposed to be in the BVRI 1813-1836 - I could not find Henrys baptism - there was however this one which I think would be for an elder sister

baptism Kintbury 21st Nov 1813 Harriet Brackstone d/o George & Mary

I cannot find that either George or his first wife Mary were buried at Kintbury - Braxton/Brackston burials there I have found are

1827 Edward aged 3
1827 Maria aged 1
1829 Edward aged 1
1870 Martha aged 86
1875 Henry aged 55
1879 William Carlisle aged 2w
1908 Sarah aged 80
1925 Ann aged 79


I have not found baptisms for either of the Edwards that were buried as babies but the use of this fist name would tie in with a likly baptism for George in Ramsbury - 15th Septmber 1782 George Braxtone s/o Edward & Mary

Edward Braxtone married Mary Popejoy 16th October 1760 in Ramsbury Wilts

Think thats about all for now - hope you find it helpful

Hi Graham and Debbie,
   Have been trying to sort this out, coming back to it from time to time, and  I have 2 children of Mary Braxton.                 www. treelines.co.uk

  1791 Joseph Bate Brackstone s/o Mary ..   1795 Mary Blundy Braxton d/o Mary
           
            Mary was a widow at her Marriage (1799 Aldbourne.) to Thomas Choules.(Baydon)

    Is this Mary Popejoy. Ist Husband ....          Edward Braxtone.
                                                          Do we know when Edward died?

   Robert Coxhead Braxton s/o John Coxhead (Ramsbury) and Mary Blundy Braxton.
  This is the start of my New Zealand link.

I understand this is a very old post and it may not reach its target but fingers crossed

- in that link to the freepages it mentions a Richard Braxton b 1787 to Richard and Mary

I have been searching for Richard Blackstone/Blacksell/Blackson for quite a while , there is a thread on the main board with those 3 names utilised.

My 2 questions are : Is there any further information ie marriage or death of Richard after 1814?

If so ignore the rest.

My Richard Blackstone was convicted in Exeter in 1813 of burglary and transported to Australia. This is written in Old Bailey records and newspaper accounts of the day. On the Tasmanian Convict page , under Blackstone , his age is given as 25 so 1788/89 for a birth but this may be out

His place of residence was given as Windsor .

He eventually changed his name to Blacksell or authorities may have with accent change

I guess I am trying to eliminate people as I go and wondered if any further record of Richard Braxton b 1787 exists after these dates. I do note that information was given on Richards brother Edward but nothing for Richard

Hello David,
There are several of us, all 'doing' the Coxhead line, which includes all the cousins in N.Z. as well as those from Aldbourn, Wilts. As your Richard could be part of the 'Braxton' line, someone might well have checked him out.
Have you 'googled' the Coxhead Family pages?
