Carloine Jefferis Father William Mother Elizabeth 02/02/1825 @ Siston

Carloine Jefferis Father John Mother Mary 24/12/1826 @ St George

Do you have any siblings that might give a lead or area they were born from the census?

Marcelle

Hi Julie

the only George Sturge is the 20/12/1807 born 10 Nov to Joseph & Ann @ Frampton Cotterell, The Jones late Payne

Marcelle

Hi Marcelle

I have hit a brick wall i am looking for the marriage of George Smith - Caroline Jefferis / Jefferies around the late 1850s. It would be fantastic if you could give me the date and also their fathers names.

Regards Huw

Hi Marcelle

I have just found another possible family member. On the 51 cen I have a George Sturge born 1798 Westerleigh.
Could you please take a look in the baptisms for me please.

Many thanks Julie

Nudge

Can not win them all.

Many thanks Julie

Julie

No Christopher Sturge on either disc for 1754 - 1812.

Sorry

Marcelle

Hi Marcelle

May I trouble you again.
I am now looking for a Christopher Sturge born about 1757 in Framton Cotterell. On the 41 cen he is with my family but do not know what his connection is.
Many thanks Julie

Richard

Have sent you a pm

Marcelle

Thank you for the info. I can not make up my mind as to purchase or take a day out and travel to see the original entries. From the info you have given me, there does appear to be a lot of entries for the Sturge name.

Julie

Thanks a lot for the lookups, Marcelle. You found the babtism record for William Coneybeer, son of William and Patience. Thanks also for the marriage date you found. Now I know they were married on 09/04/1833. I suppose it didn't mention her parents?

I don't know any siblings for Eliza, unfortunately. Her name is mentioned as Eliza on all the census records and on the birth certificate of her daughter. She was born between 1811 and 1813. Her eldest daughter was called Elizabeth and may be named after her grandmother, Eliza's mother.
Regards,
Richard

Julie, I ordered the baptismal registers 1754 - 1813 vols 8 to 10 and 11 to 14, Marriage index 1813 - 1837 and baptismal registers 1813 - 1837 vol 1 - 7.
I thought it would solve all my brick walls!! I should have known better! I have helped other people find things more than myself. The cd's cost £8 each plus p&p.
If for instance you have a jane smith and you want to check the marriage there could be 5 Jane Smiths all marrying in a few years of each other so you still cant work out which is yours. The same with the baptisms.
If you google BAFHS this is the history society you can buy them from. I sent my cheque Thurs and the cd's were with me Mon am, fantastic.
I notice on there they are now selling North Somerset marriages and Bristol burials
Good luck
Marcelle

Many thanks Marcelle.

No bells ringing unfortunatly. Down the line it may become very useful. I know a lot of the Sturges in the area were quakers and alot of info is to hand for them. My family seem to be the strays. I think I will have to send of for the cd myself. Was it expensive?

Julie

Julie, I have checked all Joseph Sturge's. I have put some more Sturge's in incase they ring a bell with you.

Joseph Sturge baptised 13/06/1773 Father Job Mother Mary @ Wapley & Codrington

Joseph Sturge baptised 31/10/1808 Father Joseph Mother Ashfield @ St Augustine

Joseph Quaco Sturge baptised 17/10/1760 Father & Mother ? @ St Peter, Negro

Josephine Sturge baptised 09/02/1811 Father Joseph Mother Ashfield @ St Augustine

Sarah Sturge baptised 11/08/1805 Father Joseph Mother Ashfield @ St Augustine

Joseph Sturge baptised 29/03/1773 Father Henry Mother Ann @ ST James

Let me know how you get on

Marcelle

Hi Marcelle

Thank you for the update. I still have to presume that the father must be James and not joseph.
If you get chance could you take lokk for a Joseph Sturge born about 1810. I think he may be a cousin of Georges. When George marries he moves his family to Pontypool, monmouth. There is a stray marriage there for a William Henry Sturge in 1859. The father is noted as Joseph.

Many thanks

Julie

From disc 2. Baptismal registers 1754 - 1812

William Coneybeer baptised 26/08/1810 @ ST James Father William Mother Patience

Eliza Baker baptised 13/04/1806 @ St James father James Mother Charlotte

Eliza Baker baptised 03/08/1806 @ St James Father William Mother Catherine

Marcelle

On disc 1 there is one Eliza Baker

Eliza Baker baptised 06/09/1792 @ St Peter Father Samuel Mother Catharine

Will check disc 2

Marcelle

Richard, there are tons of Eliza Baker's. Do you have any siblings for her?
Are you sure it is Eliza and not Elizabeth? so far found this:

William Loyd Conybeare baptised 02/12/1792 @ St Augustine. Father Samuel Mother Ann living at Key Street

Sarah Conybeare baptised 13/03/1785 @ St Augustine.

Mary Ann 05/10/1788 @ St John the Baptist
Edward 13/03/1785 @ St John the Baptist

All children of Samuel & Ann

William Coneybeer & Eliza Baker married 09/04/1833 @ St Paul

Will start looking for Eliza Baker but if you have any siblings that would give me a better idea

Marcelle

Sorry Julie

I did a double check and it should have read

George Sturge 20/12/1807 Father Joseph Mother Ann (Jones late Payne).
Please accept my apologies.

I did a search for baptisms for James and found this

James Surge Father Charles Mother Hannah 05/07/1767

Charles 30/01/1763
Mary 09/12/1764

All children of Charles & Hannah, baptised at Frampton Cotterell.

Once again please accept my apologies

Marcelle
