I am having difficulty in tracing the marriage of John Blackmore to Ann ? circa 1777. John Blackmore was born c. 1757 in W-i-G and wad baptised on 9 April 1758 W-i-G. He died on 12 March 1839 in W-i-G and was buried on 19 March 1839 in St. Andrews, Clevedon. According to his will he had five children - Mary Blackmore b. 1778, Martha b. 1780, John b. 1784, James b. 1787 and William b, 1787. I do not kniow his wife Ann's maiden name nor where abouts they were married - having searched all the W-i-G and Clevedon and surrounding parish records - so wonder if they may have married in Bristol as several of their predecessors had done. Hope that somebody can help me with my problem. Apologies if this request is not relevant to the the B &D List. David Blackmore Mangotsfield

On the 1851 census for Corston is Isaac PICK, aged 45 and his family. His surname is actually PIKE but it is is birthplace which interests me. Transcribed variously as Mollo or Nollo Trough, I think the fist letter is most probably an "H". The only name I can think of is Hallatrow, Somerset - nothing in Gloucestershire. Thanks to Michael Browning's excellent research - http://www.highlittletonhistory.org.uk/ - There is a baptism for an Isaac PIKE in 1809 in High Littleton s/o William & Mary which looks like a possibility - If Michael was still with us, I'm sure he would have been able to tell me all about the PIKEs. But can I have a second oppinion about this birthplace please? Thanks Pat

Hi Pat I haven't looked at the original, but your reasoning sounds good to me, especially as in Wiltshire a trough was always called a trow (I didn't know what they were talking about when I first went to work on a farm there in the Summer of 1968!).

Thanks Polly, As I explore the High Littleton Registers I am convinced that this is the right place because there is a burial in 1824 of a Uriah PIKE aged 13. I know nothing about him but there was another Uriah PIKE born in Corston in 1830 who was (I think) the nephew of Isaac PIKE. All circumstantial but worth following up. Going back to the 1851 census of Corston, Isaac has a brother, George, living with him whose birth place is given as Lacock, Wiltshire. I believe that he was the father of the Uriah PIKE born in 1830. I think Lacock is slightly outside the Bristol boundary(!) but does anyone know if there is a transcription online? Thanks for your interest Polly - these all are relations of my grandchildren and I really would like to sort them out.

Hello David, A John BLACKMOOR married a Mary CARVEY 13th Jan 1778 at Walton in Gordano - from the Bristol & Avon FHS CD of North Somerset Marriages Vol 10. www.bafhs.org.uk Perhaps she was Mary Ann? These christenings in Walton in Gordano are interesting. >From http://www.portbury-hundred.co.uk/waltonbapt.htm 1784 Mar 14th John Blackmore son of John Blakemore 1787 Apr 29th James son of John and Mary Blackmore 1790 Jan 30th William son of John Blackmore and Mary. Not sure that this helps but might be worth considering.
