Family Wadwell

Hi I am researching the name Wadwell.  I have got quite a lot already, but need some help with the OPRS.  I am interested in all occurances as I have so far found all Wadwells are related.  The first mention in the 'area' is a John Wadwell who is given legal settlement in Deeping St James in 1709.  The later focus is in all the little villages surrounding Peterborough.  My personal focus is Southwick, Waternewton, Woodnewton, Glapthorn, Nassington and possibly Kingscliffe.

I am particularly interest at present in William Wadwell born unknown died abt 1811 Southwick.  Married to Catherine unknown 1767? d. abt 1807 Southwick.

Wow!  That looks like it Susie!  Thanks.

I have not heard of that particular resource - is it on line?  I am in Scotland so researching down south is a bit of a problem without a holiday!

Hi Linda.

No as far as I know it is not I bought the CD from his website as I have a lot of family in Northamptonshire and thought it might come in handy. He has other CD's for sale but buying them all can be expensive.

You can also go the site on Google for Northamptonshire Look-up Exchange and there are plenty of volunteers willing to do look ups free.

I live in Australia so I find it hard to research also and I was so greatful I found Rootschat it is a great site with lovely people willing to help.

By the way we went over to England last year and did Wales and Scotland as well (my husbands ancesters come from Scotland) Beautiful place.

Kind regards

Sue

Hi Susie

Found the website - there are a lot of free resources as well.  I did not know of this one!  I have ordered the marriage index and the 1841 census - I should start getting somewhere!

What part of Scotland are you researching?  I have a number of resources from Lanark and Dunbartonshire and I live in Fife.  Maybe I could help you out!

Have you also tried www.genesconnected.co.uk ?  It only costs a few pounds to register and I have found loads of contacts there.  They have a chat bit too.

There are Wadwells in Australia as well.  They actually appear to have descended from just one family who came from the Kings Cliffe area (there are hundreds - many more than left in the 'old country')

The other side of my family is looking for a John McCallum born abt 1920 in North Queensferry, Fife, Scotland who was in the Australian Airforce and 'disappeared' about 1945.  It is known that he had bought land near Sidney, and it was recently found that he had been cited as the 'other man' in a divorce case in 1945/6.  He was living with a woman he called his wife (his real wife was in Scotland they never divorced) about 1950.  It is thought he spent some time in Tasmania.
I know it is a common name and Australia is a BIG place, but if you come accross anything in your research 'at home' so to speak let me know.

Regards Linda
