Hello Barbara, The Whatkin Morris that you found in Bucks in 1841 is still there in 1851. He was married to Ann, with children Edwin and Miriam. He worked as a chain maker and was born in West Wycombe. There is a Watkin Morris in Llan Bedr in 1841 with Gwenllian Morris, (aged 80). This Watkin was born c1801 and worked as a Miller. In 1851, your Watkin appears to be with a younger brother William? If this is correct then in 1841 they are both in St Marylebone, Middlesex. Watkin has been transcribed as Walkin. He is 25, a mason, William is a carpenter. I can send you the details if this is correct.

He's living with Ann (age 25), Edwin (age 2) and Miriam (age 2 weeks). Occupation looks like Chain Maker. Relationships aren't given in the '41 as you probably know. The indicators are that this is a family unit, though. However, if your man was born in Wales, the one you've found may not be him. The Whatkin MORRIS in High Wycombe is listed as born in county. That is, born in Buckinghamshire, England, not Wales. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" The public wants what the public gets Going Underground - The Jam

Hi, Just wondered if anyone could link to Robert Thomas LONG. He was born in Nuneaton, Warwickshire on 22nd November 1914 to Charles LONG & Minnie Ethel MOSELEY. I have recently located a death entry for a Robert Thomas LONG in the registration district of Milton Keynes, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE in May 1991 & believe him to be the same person. Would love to hear from anyone who links or might know of someone who does, Regards, Garry LONG

Thanks for all the suggestions. >From Charles Foy's Marriage and Death Certs we know his parents are Allen & Ann Elizabeth Foy. Allen was a gardener and Ann Elizabeth's maiden name was unknown. Charles firstly believed his birthplace was in Surrey, then it changes to Middlesex. He had some education as I have his signature. He was Methodist. Unsure as to when he arrived in Australia, though he married in 1869.

That all appears to match the Allen Fay in Chertsey. If he grew up in Chertsey, he may have thought he was born there, until he discovered otherwise. He wouldn't be the only person to make that mistake. My great-grandfather Irving appears to have mistakenly thought for his whole life he was born in the village where his parents lived when he was a child, not knowing that his mother had gone home to her mother to have him (her first child). If you can find the references, you can get certificates for £7 each directly from http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ I think you have the reference for what looks like the marriage of Allen Foy & Ann Elizabeth. It's on FreeBMD. Paul Sarah Davies wrote: > Thanks for all the suggestions. > > >From Charles Foy's Marriage and Death Certs we know his parents are Allen & > Ann Elizabeth Foy.

I think Allen FAY is my ancestor Allen FOY (he appears in the 1841 Census in Cowley near Uxbridge as FOY). no references to Allen Foy after 1841. In the 1841 Census Allen is living with a Susan Foy aged 1 and Ann Neville. I think I've found Susan's Christening in 1839 in Denham (mother's name Ann) and then in 1844 the christening of Eliza Foy also in Denham and parents names were Allin Foy and Ann Elizabeth. haven't found Charles on the IGI yet - typical - he's the one I'm descended from! in 1842 there is a Marriage of Allen Foy possibly to Ann Elizabeth Newells, registered in Uxbridge.

The birth certificate of Eliza or (if you can find it) Charles would confirm their mothers maiden name, & the marriage certificate would give Allen & Ann Elizabeths fathers names. The full christening records might give more information than the IGI - Bucks FHS has transcribed the Denham records - http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/ I think you need to establish if Ann Elizabeth was the second wife, & if so what happened to the first one, & which was the mother of Charles.

Sarah Missed the start of this thread but I have found Eliza in 1861 census transcribed as foy age 17 with Ann Eliz Rogers 40 and James Rogers 44 she is described as daughter in law could Allen have died and Ann married again.

I have copy of the scanned original - definately states Bucks and when I enlarged the document it definately looks like Hammerson. And its definately FAY - I'm thinking the enumerator had a few spelling mistakes for instance they write Purbright(Surrey) when it should be spelt Pirbright. What I think is Datchet, Bucks is spelt Dalchet. Thanks for the suggestions, Sarah

Looking at the original you've sent me, I can say it's definitely Fay (I checked the F against _F_oundling & _F_rances), & looks very much like Hammerson. Amersham looks like the best bet.

Hi Sandra Yes. I have been advised from a friend in England that the Parish Church, of Lane End, is Holy Trinity Church and has registers which start in 1832 and which are held at the local archives, the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies. (CBS) at Aylesbury, Bucks... The Old Gospel Church at Moor End is an independent church, not Church of England. Well we both have learnt something new. All the best in your research.

Hi Sandra My grt grt grt grandparents married in Lane End October 01, 1843 - The Early Era too. Please find attached below info I have found. I can only find info on the old Gospel Chapel at Moor End to be Lane End's earliest church. I will see if I can find out more from an old friend. Kind Regards Troy Shaw Mackay, QLD The parish of Lane End formed from Great Marlow, Hambleden, Fingest and West Wycombe has an area of 1,270 acres. The soil is sandy and the subsoil gravelly, producing crops of wheat and barley, but the inhabitants are principally engaged in the manufacture of chairs and in an ironfoundry and agricultural works. The parish is served by the church of the Holy Trinity on Ditchfield Common. There is also a Wesleyan chapel built in 1865 and a Gospel mission hall dating from 1888 at Moor End. At Moor Farm, to the south of Lane End, some of the buildings are of 17th-century origin and on the land belonging to the farm are the ruins of Ackhampstead Chapel, of which only fragments of the walls remain. It is said to have been rectangular on plan and to have been lighted by lancets. Moor Farm was the residence in the 17th century of John Brinkhurst, the founder of the Oxford Lane almshouses, who died in 1614 owning land called Mooreland. (fn. 46) The monument in Marlow Church to a John Brinkhurst who died in 1681 is probably that of his nephew and heir, who forfeited his lands in 1653 for recusancy.
