Find Ancestors

Thanks for looking, Nikki. Stephanie

Thanks Nikki. It is possible that Sarah Ann Farmer's parents were called John and Betsey - but I don't know if that is leading me in the wrong direction. I don't know anything about siblings. Please don't waste too much of your time on it... Thanks again for your help. Regards, Sarah

Hi Stephanie William was not in Montacute at the time of the 1861 census I'm afraid. Sorry! Nikki

Maggi As there is no transcription & no facility to search, it's just a case of scrolling through the pages street by street It's unlikely that I'll find your couple. Will keep my eyes peeled for you though! Nikki

Hi Sarah Can't find Sarah Ann Farmer at the mo. Do you know any details of Sibling/Parents? Let me know if you do & I'll look again, think the details below are the others you're looking for.

James Day Head Head 30 Gardener Labourer Thurloxton, Som Sarah Wife 26 Stoke St Mary, Som James son 4 Scholar Cheddon, Som John William son 1 Norton Fitwarren, Som

Hi Nikki, Thanks for your offer - please could you look up WILLIAM WILTON living in Montacute - aged about 15-18 in 1861 - probably working as a stonemason. I would be interested in knowing the details of the household he was living in. Many thanks for your time, Stephanie

Hi Nikki, I have masses of people in Somerset as my husband's family have never strayed far! But, before your heart sinks, I am specifically looking for: William Strickland age 10 in Kingston Sarah Ann Farmer age about 8 in Pitminster James Day age 30ish, hopefully in Norton Fitzwarren, probably a gardener. These are all my g.g.grandparents-in-law. Thank you ever so much. Best wishes, Sarah

Thanks Nikki for finding my Birds. In 1871 he has his '84' year old 'daughter' living with him. Guessed it probably his mum, and it states birthplace Herefordshire. I will now look for some 'Flamby' sounding places around Hereford. Thank you SO MUCH Norma

Hi Norma Here they are Colston St, Bedminster 1861 Joseph Bird Head 33 Nail Maker St Phillips, Bristol Mary Wife 32 St Philips, Bristol Elizabeth Mother widow 73 (can't read the place of birth but looks like Hurford, Flamby???!!) George son 8 Scholar Bedminster, Bristol William son 5 Scholar Bedminster, Bristol Nikki

Hi Nikki, Can I ask you for another lookup JOSEPH & MARY BIRD in 1852 they were living at COLSTON STREET, BEDMINSTER. They would be aged about 34 & 33. In 1852 have one son George Richard Thanks Norma

Nikki Thank you so much for finding my Bonds, am very grateful for your time and effort. Best wishes Helen

Hi Nikki, Thanks for my Ward in Walcot lookup - it's very much appreciated!! Thanks :o) Pippa

Hi Helen Found them living on Taunton Rd in 1861, no property number or name listed though. 1861 Taunton Road, Bridgwater William Bond Head 62 Labourer Bridgwater, Som Anne Wife 61 Pollett, Som RG9/1624 Nikki

Nikki - the offer is really generous thank you so much and wonder if I can take you up on it for the following: William Bond and his wife Ann - lived in Bridgwater. In 1841 they were in South Road, in 1851 they were in Hamp and in 1871 they were in 5 Craises Buildings, Taunton Road. William would have been approx 63 and Ann approx 61 and he worked in Bricks. Any help you can provide very gratefully received. Best wishes Helen

Thank you so much Nikki - that all makes more sense now! Sarah

Hi Sarah Here they are in both 1851 & 1861. Blackford HARSE George 35 Ag. Lab Mark Maria 35 Blackford Jane 8 Scholar Blackford Tom 6 Scholar Blackford Louisa 3 Blackford Sarah 3m Blackford Page/Folio 6/117 1861 Mark HARSE George 44 Ag Lab Mark Maria 45 Wedmore Thomas 15 Wedmore Sarah 11 Wedmore Martha 6 Wedmore Mary 6 Wedmore Hannah 6m Wedmore Page/Folio 9/1669 Nikki

Hi Nikki could you possibly have a look for Sarah HARSE for me - she was born approx 1851 in Blackford, Wedmore, Somerset and her father's name is George - it's not much to go on I'm afraid, but I'm trying to work out who was in the household in '61 and I can't find any record of her birth as yet. Her marriage cert states she was resident in East Brent in 1870 if that helps, but by 1871 and on all future censuses she was in Mark. Many thanks Sarah

Thanks Nikki - That's two I didn't see! I will let the person who asked for the look-ups know - sure she will be pleased. It's criminal that they charge money for these discs and then half of it's illegible!! Thanks Kaye x

Hi Kaye Some of the Nailsea images are almost impossible to read, the only Cavill's I could make out are: 176 Abi? Cavill head 73 Plasterer? Compton? Mary wife 62 b? Sorry I can't be of any more help. Nikki

Hi - I've just done a Somerset look-up for someone, but am having real trouble reading the census - thought an extra pair of eyes might help? I'm looking for JAMES CAVILL (Head), EMMA CAVILL (Wife), HENRY JAMES CAVILL (Son) and one other child - in Nailsea, Somerset. The ref is - RG9 1710. Could you take a look for me please and see if you think it's these people. Thanks Kaye x
