On Abraham's second marriage in 1838 his father is given as Thomas Ramsdale, a labouer.


Transcription of the baptism gives mother as Elizabeth

Abraham's baptism is on the same day as his brother John.

I agree extremely likely the parents are Thomas & Elizabeth, but I would like to know where FreeReg got the names from for the 1812 record!  Its definitely not on the image I have access to on FindMyPast
Can't attach it here as a lookup board.

The image I can see on Ancestry, is in VERY bad condition and is a very poor copy.

You can just read the baptism for John with parents Thomas and Elizabeth Ramsall
Directly below but with same date I see

WOW, superb!  I'm absolutely flabbergasted!

I only posted late last night before bed, and due to it being Easter, never thought I'd get any replies for a week!  So to wake up and see that you have all put in so much work on my behalf... Thank you ALL ever so much. 

This branch has been always been a thorn in my side (pardon the pun) and to be able to actually get names and family members is amazing.  There is a lot of information to process.  I'll be writing it all out and piecing it together before putting in my tree.

I honestly can't thank you all enough.  I hope you all have a great Easter.

Cheers, Lee.
Names that I am Very Interested in:
** BUTCHER ** (Essex)
LONG, JACOBS & CARDY (Essex)
BUTCHER (Kent)
LEWIS (Shropshire/Shrewsbury/Montgomeryshire)
BRAGG (London/Surrey)
GODDEN (Middlesex/Berkshire)
PRITCHARD (West Midlands)
JACKSON (West Midlands/Shropshire)
Drop me a PM if ya have any details, info or queries!

Well Lee, we had both the day shift, and the night shift working on it.   ;) Being a long weekend, there was time to fill in.

We have posted quite a bit, and It gets rather complicated with the changed name and the various spellings of Ramsell- Ramsdale - and etc.
Just call out if it doesn't make sense.

And here it’s been bucketing down with rain. Remnants of Cyclone Tan, so nothing else important to do,

Well done to those who picked up my baton

I still can't work out why someone who's clearly John on all censuses is James on all his children's marriage certs!

Looks like Sarah his wife died in 1885. I forgot to say he's a widower on the 1891 census, and also described as an imbecile
