Find Ancestors

Hi Margaret,

Please can you help me out again.

I have Martha Elizabeth Knott born 1850 in Haseley, Oxfordshire, possibly registered as Martha Knott. Is there any chance you can find her birth in your records please.

I don't think she belongs to Richard and Alice but wondered if she was an illegitimate child of Mary Ann Knott.

Thank you

Margaret,

any info on William Ludlow b1746 North Hinksey ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Nigel.

Hi Margaret

I'm struggling to find records for the birth of two children born to John and Harriett (nee Hemmings) Edginton (may be recorded with spelling Edgington)

Firstly there is Julia Ann Edginton b 1850 Little Clanfield (8 months old in 1851 census)

Secondly there is Elizabeth Edginton b 1853/4 Bampton

This family have a tendency to list their children on the census records under different names to their birth records i.e Julia is listed as Ann in 1851. Therefore Elizabeth may have another first name of which I am unaware. I can't find records to match so I'm hoping you may find something in baptism records. Thank you.

Hi Margaret

I'm looking for the possible marriage or death of Albert Edward Walker.

The only information I have is he was mentioned on his Mother In Laws (Dorothy Naomi Dickson (nee McKinnon)) Death certificate in Dec 1976 - she died in Witney.

I believe Dorothy's daughter may have been called Naomi Dickson but I could be wrong and this is why I'm looking for any information on Albert!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Mary Gibbs buried Tackley aged 56 years 1/1/1862
John Gibbs buried Tackley aged 89 years 15/10/1891
Theree is marriage for John Gibbs 16/4/1855 in Tackley between
John Gibbs and Elizabeth Cook witnesses Isaac Whiting,Ann Hoare Banns called 1'8'15th April. So I wonder if you have the correct information, I have looked for a marriage in Tackley for John Gibbs to a Mary Bull, which I found

19/11/1827 Tackley
John Gibbs and Mary (given as Mary Bull in Banns register) witnesses Joseph Morris,Jane Gibbs, Banns called 4'11'18th November

So I looked in the Banns register to find this entry

Banns say John Gibbs and Mary Bull bans called 4,11,18th November with the following additional sentence. Marriage recorded in Marriage register between John Gibbs and Mary Ryman 19/11/1827
So perhaps Mary was both Ryman and Bull, either. Widow or used both surnames.

JANET sorry no sign of Alice Wall in Stoke Lyne, nor did she marry under that name in Oxfordsshire before 1841'do you know who she married perhaps I could find him on the marriage disc and then get her correct name...

Hi Margaret ,
I just wondered if you might be able to help me to find where Mary and John Gibbs were buried. I would presume it may be near the church they were married but I could be wrong.

Mary nee Bull Gibbs b 1807 Woodstock Tackley died before 1871 census

John Gibbs b 1802 at Tackley died aged 89 before the 1891 census.

They were married in 1855 in St. Nicholas church Tackley Oxfordshire.
Many Thanks,
Carol.

I am back on line even though on the water....thank goodness for 3...

Dear Margaret, I am trying to find the baptism record for Alice Wall. According to the 1841 census she was born in Stoke Lyne in 1776. I can't find her on the IGI so I would be grateful with any help on this

Still travelling....Macclesfield today

Hello Margaret

Hoping you catch up with this eventually , and that all goes well with your travels :-)

I am currently "doing" my DIL tree-they were travellers :-(and it is a challenge.

There are several appearing in Hampshire/Wiltshire/Dorset in the 1800s who are "of Noke Oxfordshire" and I would appreciate a look-up of any Bland's or Jeff's
in the P/Rs particularly baptisms.

Elizabeth
