Hi, I am searching for family of Stanley Blizard. In 1925 at Buckinghamshire he married Edith Maude GILLER His parents were Alfred and Helen BLIZARD. Alfred was the son of Edmund & Jane BLIZARD.Their other children were Charles,William & Minnie Clara.Helen McNamara in sunny NZ

Pamela I have no direct knowledge of your 3 B aldwin children.Have you checked Aylesbury parish records? Also the census records around that period of time. I am interested in your find because those Baldwins might be related in some way to the Baldwins I am looking for in Buckinghamshire. My gr grandmother Ann Baldwin (b. abt 1831) and her sister Jane (b. abt 1820) immigrated to Canada in the 1840's and then on to New York state about 1850. Jane was married at the time to David Smith. If you come across any info in your search that might rerlate to Ann and Jane I would appreciate hearing from you. Dean Gernon

Does anyone have access to any other Bucks census than 1851 please? I bought that and found only 7 of my Tibbys were there in 1851. Now of course I have access to 1881 and 1901. Can anyone help with the 1841/1861/1871 please re Wendover and Tibby/Tibbey? Thanks a lot, Take Care, Pen Researching: Bridgewood,Byerley,Cummins,Hall,Hunter,Lindsay,McTear,Smith,Williams. in the North East. Clos,Kause,Ort,Orth,Tibby,Wenzel. in London and Germany. Bonus,Clements,Cutting, Partridge, Pinner in Suffolk,London & Hants. Norbury,Quayle,Singleton,Woodhead in Yorks. Apologies in advance for any tardy replies, frequent migraines not conducive to PC work. Sorry!!

Hello Bob: I have some WEST family based in Brill and later Piddington. If your research leads you there please contact me. Primarily my research has been the BLAKE family and they married into the WESTs. Annette Richards Sonoma, California

Hi Sue, Thank you. I did know about Moulsford in Berkshire and as you say Berks and Bucks can be confused. I had excluded Moulsford because of the 1901 census giving Stony Stratford as the birthplace. I have a reply suggesting Moulsoe a village about 6 miles from Stony Stratford. This looks a distinct possibility to me. Happy burrowing, Raymond

I'm a bit late coming inon ths one - ----- Original Message ----- From: "raymond west johnson" <[email protected]> > > I have a number of rellies shown in the 1881 Census Index as born in > Moulford, Buckinghamshire. I have not been able to find this place on a > recent map or in Parish Locator. Could this perhaps be Moulsford in Berkshire? BKM and BRK are often mistranscribed and confused. Moulsford is a Chapelry of Cholsey both of which were in Berkshire but are now in Oxfordshire. However, that does not explain why they later said they were born in Stony Stratford. Best wishes Sue Hedges HEDGES One Name Study (GoONS 3288) www.Hedges-Study.org

Hi Dianne, Thank you for your interest. Yes, Dianne, it could well be Moulsoe. That would seem to be quite a reasonable transcription error. The people I am interested in are the children of William & Rebecca JOHNSON. William came from Towcester and Rebecca from Blisworth. John bn abt 1868, Edwin bn abt 1870, William bn abt 1871, Arthur bn abt 1872 and Fanny bn abt 1879. In 1901 they were in Limehouse. I have not searched the GRO Index for them yet. Happy burrowing, Raymond

Hi All, I just want to be sure everyone knows that the Canadian 1901 cenus is now indexed online at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/index.html. It is very well done though not yet complete. Regards, Joan Ottawa

I have a copy of the book "Old Aylesbury" by Elliott VINEY, MA, FSA and Pamela Nightingale, MA, PH D. On p.50 is a photograph 50a. which shows Park Street, once known as Mill Terrace c1896 with mention of three BALDWIN children. I wondered if anyone had any idea as to how I would find out more about these children. I have a note that two Gt. Aunts were living at 2 Mill Street in 1894/5 when they were employed with Hazell, Watson & Viney, and these three children in the photograph seem to fit the bill for their younger siblings. By 1901 the family was living in Walton Road. Any help gratefully received. Pamela

I am tracing the family of Douglas George Procter born in Newport Pagnal in 1898. I have found him in 1901 living with his mother Sarah but there is no sign of his father George. George was alive in 1926 at the time of his sons wedding. Douglas married Evelyn Mackley in Leicester in 1926 and then seems to have vanished. I wondered if anyone has any information about this family. Andy

Hi, I have a number of rellies shown in the 1881 Census Index as born in Moulford, Buckinghamshire. I have not been able to find this place on a recent map or in Parish Locator. In the 1901 census the same people gave their birthplace as Stony Stratford. Is/was Moulford a district of Stony Stratford? Happy burrowing, Raymond

Hello Listers, I'm hoping SKS with access to the 1861 Census will please check it for the names of the parents of Ann GOODGAME born September 1862 in Ludgershall. Many thanks! Heather Ontario, Canada

Hi Paul, Thank you for this extra information, I do appreciate it very much and have printed it out to compare to what I already have on John. I have also been fortunate enough to hear back from another Lister who has my John in the 1841 Census, so once she sends me all those details I should have a fuller picture to build on. Yes, NAPPIN is a very uncommon name isn't it?

Hello May, Try NAPPON, there are several families of this name living in Boarstall in 1851 according to the 1851 census. There ia a James aged 26 and another aged 7, one John but he is 54, I noticed that some of the older holders of the name say they were born in Oxfordshire.
