The captioned lady married Edward Strode of the Somerset Strode family in 1686. I have not been able to come up with any information about her family roots. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you Bob Strode

Hi Edie Good to hear from you again. We had correspondence abt this chap some time back, both onlist and off. I had more info to pass on and tried to do so twice but my emails failed to connect. I recall the name well because a couple of weeks ago, I took the info off my computer as I was running out of memory. Like you, as well as my own research, I do help others, mainly elderly folk, who do not have computers or access to databases. I am hoping that the Robert and Mary Ann query was one that I archived on my old laptop and not lost for ever! Unfortunately I will be unable to check until I return home for Christmas. I know I found something significant for your friends but I can't remember exactly what! Please remind me in January if you haven't heard from me. I will get back sooner if I can. Bev

I note that I had written that my friends Robert Evans and his future wife, Mary Ann Tucker were both living at 12 Hotwell road in the 1851 census. that wasnt correct, they were living there in 1852 at the time of their marraige. I was hoping to find them there in the 1851 census to see if any other Evans family were also there You had a bit of a puzzle to sort out there and did a good job finding your couple in Ireland Lynne.

If anyone knows or suspects their ancestor served in the Army 1809 to 1817, one of the databases they may appear on is Ancestry's database "Canada, British Regimental Registers of Service, 1756-1900". I've come across countless Somerset-born soldiers under the heading of: Somerset Volunteers - Trumpeters, Drummers & Privates for the years 1809-17. They are 23rd Foot soldiers-2nd Battalion. (towards the end of the 193 images). Problem is most of them have been transcribed as born in Lancaster! With gobbledygook village spelling as in "Dubulin, Lancaster" - that's Dulverton. And many names are badly transcribed or are just surnames. So they'll never crop up as a result during a search. I've corrected dozens, but won't have the time to do them all.....One way you might find your fella is by entering just one item - Lancaster in the birth county search box, then keep your eyes peeled at the results. cheers, pamela

Hi Lynne, I note that we are speaking a generation before our Robert, but would be the same genration as his father James. If we have the right James in the 1841 census, whom we have found as a visitor in the 1851 census, then he looks as if he was born in Newland, Gloucestershire near the Welsh border. If you could find William had a brother James, could be same family.. Robert Evans fc1827, father is stated to be James Evans a shoemaker on his and Mary Ann Tucker marraige certificate 1852. Interesting that your couple were from Hotwells, Clifton. As you would have seen, my friends couple Robert and mary Ann Tucker were both living at number 12 Hotwell Rd.Clifton, 1851 census. I was trying to find number 12 Hotwell Rd in findmypast address search but I dont see a number 12 , and havent tried yet to go through the addresses you can see straight away. Could be number 12 wa the number of a room in a tenement building or block of flats etc. This was in the 1851 census. Could be just an coincidence. Another generation. We havent found a baptism for our Robert as yet but do know he seems to have had a brother George Henry Evans who married his brother Roberts widow. his father was the same as Roberts. They had a Jane Evans as one of the witnesses to their marraige in the Registry Office in 1852. Could be you need to look n the Registry Office just in case it was common for mariners to marry in a hurry there. If Registry Offices were in vogue then. I will wait a few days before I hand this to my friend as her cousin has passed away in the last week and she is greiving at the moment. They were working on the family tree together. I am just on lists for her as I am used to them and on them for my own research in same Counties, so just keep watch for her. Could be something else will come along Lynne that will be familiar. thnaks for responding Edie mcArthur ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynne Charles" <lynnecharles7@hotmail.com> To: <bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 30, 2013 9:25 PM Subject: Re: [B&S] Robert Evans, mariner and Mary Ann Tucker > William Evans (Mariner) who married a Joannah ? may be born Bishops > Lyndeard Somerset. > > The had a daughter Rhoda born around 1820 Haverfordwest, who married a > Charles Charles of Bristol. > I have not found a b.c. for Rhoda or m.c for William and Joannah. > > They lived in Hotwells, Clifton.

Thank you Jean Our project has almost come to a "finish", and yes, correct below. Three children of George Pocock, Senior, the school master of Prospect Place Academy in St. Michael's, Bristol married three children of David Rees of Haverfordwest, Wales. I have no evidence, but is seems most likely that one or two of David Rees' sons attended Pocock's boarding school .... or he met the Rees family on one of his Methodist preaching trips to Wales. Maybe someone might have access to records to help prove one or the other; either at George Pocock's boarding school in Church Lane 1795 to 1799; or when he moved into Prospect Place Academy, off Lower Church Lane in 1800, when vacated by Rev. Dan Keith. The Henry Mills Grace you mentioned below, married another of George Pocock's children, Martha Pocock. As for Dr. W.G. Grace, his wife Agnes Nicholls Day, was the daughter of Elizabeth Rees and William Day. Elizabeth Rees was the daughter of Dr. James Rees and Elizabeth Pocock ... yes, another relative. The project is not being published, but hopefully, will be a suitably resourced document to answer some of the intermarriages that took place thereafter. I still welcome photos, newspaper clippings etc as they help to try and name some of the people in the old cricket photos etc. Keith -----Original Message----- From: bristol_and_somerset-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bristol_and_somerset-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jean Wood Sent: Saturday, 30 November 2013 10:59 PM To: B & S rootsweb Subject: [B&S] GRACE & POCOCK grave photo This made me think.

At that time it was common for Friday evening transatlantic flights to be overbooked, and I was offered several opportunities to exchange my business class seat for an overnight hotel and a trip back on Concorde next morning. I had young children at home, so declined every time, except once when it became fairly clear that I probably wouldn't get a seat that night anyhow! Great experience. Ian

Certainly dates you. <vbg> However, as there were Five Royal Navy ships of this name, I suspect you were referring to No 4, de-commissioned in 1979. No 3 sank in WW2, No 5 was decommissioned in 2011 No 2 was a merchantman, converted to an Aircraft Carrier in WW1 Jim

Re Concorde, Never flew in it, but I did witness one of it's early flights when it flew down from Bristol as guest of honour at the Annual 'Navy Days' celebration in Plymouth Dockyard in 1974. I still remember the gasps, so impressive and such an icon. I was also lucky enough to see the original HMS Ark Royal when she returned to her home port to be decomissioned and scrapped, and the replica of the 'Golden Hynd' as she left for America......dates me a bit..;)!

As we flew from Toronto to Oshkosh, Wisconsin and landed as part of the EAA Air Show, we did not go supersonic. I have a photo taken of the aircraft of over 2,000 people watching our landing.

Great memories, Josephine. I was fortunate enough to fly on the Concorde in 1990 or 91, can't remember which. I had my picture taken with the crew, just to prove to myself that I was actually on that aircraft. As we flew from Toronto to Oshkosh, Wisconsin and landed as part of the EAA Air Show, we did not go supersonic. I have a photo taken of the aircraft of over 2,000 people watching our landing. Anyone else flown on the Concorde?
