Felicia, You don't give any information on place of birth for Lizzie. I believe that they are probably in the registration district of Lambeth in the 1911 Census under the names of John Charles & Elizabeth Sarah, I don't have access to that particular Census but hopefully someone can supply the information. There is a good possibility that Lizzie was born in Berkshire, I found a good fit in the 1881 Census (which you should be able to access on the IGI site) living in Warfield which comes within Easthampstead in Berkshire. The family consists of James age 45 born Reading, Sarah age 42 born Wokingham as are the 2 eldest children James age 18 & Elizabeth age 15, the next John age 13 born Bracknell, the rest were Mary age 11, William age 9, Caroline age 7, Henry age 4, Alice age 3 and Fred age 1, all born Warfield. James Gale is a farmer of 65 acres in what I think is 'West End'. I have found James in the 1871 Census but he is unmarried which would indicate that Sarah was probably a widow when she married him probably sometime after the 1871 Census, although the childrens ages don't give any strong indication when apart from the fact that Mary was the first one born in Warfield (but her age would indicate a birth prior to the 1871 Census) If this is your family then James is not Elizabeth's father (but stepfather) and her birth name would not be Gale. I have been unable to clearly identify the family in any prior Census or Elizabeth post 1881 nor is there an obvious marriage entry giving a prior surname (that can be matched back to a Census), but others may have more luck. I can follow James through the 1891 & 1901 Census so he was possibly alive in 1902. As to James Gale in the 1871 Census he is living with his mother Ann (who is head) and brother Thomas in Warfield farming what I think is 'West End' Farm. In the Census James place of birth does vary slightly, in 1871, 1891 & 1901 it is Caversham (Oxfordshire), however the Berkshire/Oxfordshire boundary is close and the boundary has moved so it is quite common to see Berkshire and Oxfordshire interchanged both in formal documents and in general use. I hope that is of some help.

I am trying to find details of: George CONEY who married Susanna JEANS in Stourpaine Dec 1844 (Blandford) from Free BMD Family Search shows father of George CONEY as John and father of Susanna William JEANS. Family Search also shows 1851 Census Susanna CONEY wife 40 in Stourpaine. Susanna CONEY alone shows in 1851 Census, however, I can find no record of death of George. I am trying to find birth of George CONEY (date and place) also details of his father John CONEY (Birth, marriage, burial). Did George and Susanna CONEY hav any children? Anything about CONEY's in Stourpaine would be appreciated. Regards Robert Coney Melbourne, Australia Email: coneyrobert@gmail.com

Hi, I am wondering if someone might look something up for me please? I have received information to say that John Peach married Hannah Bowditch in Apr-May-Jun Qtr 1841 in Dorchester. Is there any way of checking if this is correct please? Thanks to anyone that is able to help please. Cheers Roslyn Garden.

Robert, You can find Susannah Jeans in the 1841 Census in Stourpaine which is available on the Dorset OPC Site, with probable parents William & Mary (no relationships in the 1841 Census). The most likely George is in Wimborne St Giles, probable father John (no mother listed) both bricklayers. In the 1851 Census they are in Wimborne St Giles (where George says he was born), George is 45 and Susanna 40, George is a bricklayer, no children. In the 1861 Census George is a lodger in Canford (bricklayer), Susanna is a visitor in Stourpaine Cannot find either of them in the 1871 Census, FreeBMD has a Susan aged 59 death registered in June Q 1869 Wimborne district and a George aged 62 September Q 1868 Wimborne district. A George age 35 and a John aged 60 both bricklayers appear in the 1841 Census (don't forget 1841 census ages are rounded), there are siblings but the quality is very poor. A John Coney appears in the 1851 Census in Wimborne St Giles a bricklayer aged 73 born in St Giles, FreeBMD has a John Coney death December Q 1852 in Wimborne district (no age on index that early). Hope that helps.

Hi Robert, I hope you are keeping well in sunny down under. George CONEY (Bricklayer, Married, b 1806 St Giles) appears in 1861 census as a lodger in Merley, Canford at the home of William Game, Nursery Man. Knowing that Canford is part of the Lord & Lady Wimborne Estate (which also extended to Cranborne & St Giles) maybe he was there doing some work? I believe the 'Lady Wimborne Houses' where built around this time, so maybe his skills as a bricklayer were being used for that? His death appears on FreeBMD in 1868: George CONEY (aged 62) Sep 1/4 1868 Wimborne District GRO Ref: 5a - 161 There isn't any children with them on the 1851 census and as Susanna was abt 34 when they married, maybe they either didn't have any or they died in infancy. George's baptism at Wimborne St Giles is listed: George CONEY s/o John & Jane 16 March 1806. He appears on the 1841 Census with his father & siblings (but no mother) in Wimborne St Giles John CONEY 60 Bricklayer George CONEY 35 Bricklayer Ann CONEY 30 Elizabeth CONEY 20 Caroline CONEY 18 All born in county. John CONEY appears in Wimborne St Giles in 1851 (widower, aged 73, bricklayer, b St Giles), daughter Ann CONEY (unmarried, 40, b St Giles) and a grandaughter Augusta HIBBERD (aged 5, b St Giles) are with him residing at Cottage, Straight Street,Wimborne St Giles. John's death appears to be registered (on FreeBMD) in 1852: John CONEY Dec 1/4 1852 Wimborne District GRO Ref: 5a - 195. Unfortunately I can't find John's baptism or marriage. I hope that helps.

Hello Linda, I have asked a friend of mine with 30 years experience doing family research to look at the Baker family you mentioned. Firstly I did notice that the extracts that you mention were from a book that was destroyed by Sir Johns son-in law & the book on line is a reproduction. Do you come into the family through Dorset or Kent as you have not given your own line in any way. But I am guessing Dorset. The dates are very early for a lot of church records to still exist. We looked at the Visitations for Dorset & Kent & the only Bakers mentioned from these two counties was Sir John Baker who was obviously the first to be knighted & there is not a large tree to this family. If he had a brother James he is not mentioned & would not be mentioned as he would not be entitled to use the title. There is nothing to relate the family of Kent to Dorset, there were a great many Baker families & a number in other parts of England who held a title according to the visitations. Have you tried to get hold of the wills you mention as wills are the only way to track your family but I doubt you will trace them further into the early 1500's & 1400's. A book you might be interested in is "Halsteds Kent,ii.281, and iii.49" there is a reference to the Baker family, the book would be at the County Record Office, they might copy the reference to the Baker family for you. A lot of written genealogy is not terribly accurate which is maddening at times as I have found over the years. I wish you well with yours.

In my on-going genealogical battle for my family tree, I have made a breakthrough and at the same time, run into a "brick wall". Perhaps you can give me some advice on how best to proceed, or possibly have the pertinent documents in your files. If not, would you please be able to give me a few hints as to where else I might search? I am trying to nail down the birth/death (and any family data) concerning James Baker as well as his son (and grandson) Walter. Here is the information so far available: (Extract from Meditations and Disquisitions upon the First Psalm (1639-1640) by Sir Richard Baker) 1. James Baker, mentioned in the will of his grandfather (Thomas Baker of Cranebroke, Kent), 1493, and of his father (Richard Baker of Cranebroke, Kent) in 1504; to whom married not stated; had issue one son, named Walter. (James was a brother of Sr. John "Bloody" Baker of Sissinghurst, Kent.) 2. Walter Baker of Sherborne, Dorset, gentleman: his will is dated 19th of April, the 26tth year of Queen Elizabeth; proved 28th of May 1854; married Catherine - , widow; she was left executrix to her husband's will, and had issue one son. 3. Walter Baker, married at Poole co., Dorset, 22nd January 1592, to Rebecca, daughter of John Andrew; baptized at Poole, 15 July 1573; he had issue eight sons and two daughters. The date of baptism with their names as follows: William, 1593; Walter, 1595; John, 1598; Robert, 1601; Andrew, 1604; James, 1605; Nicholas, 1607; Joseph, 1610; Judith, 1596; and Rebecca, 1612. William, the eldest, married Elizabeth Gosselin of Poole, 1619. No record that any other son or daughter was married except Andrew, the fifth son, and he inherited his father's estate. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

In another death notice, she is listed as having died at Lyndhurst, Colehill, Bournemouth. I am trying to determine if Lyndhurst was a private home in Colehill (which I believe is a suburb of Wimborne) or whether Lyndhurst was a resort or vacaton place, etc. If it was a private home, I'd be interested in who was living there in March, 1945. The woman's body was brought back to Toronto, Ontario for burial. I don't know if she was just visiting in England or had moved there after her husband died. She may have had relatives (perhaps a son)in England. One of her uncles (Frederick Widder) who had come from England to Canada in the mid-1800's had named his home in Toronto "Lyndhurst".
