    3. Hi Eric Thanks for the info, Dave HEDGES told me about someone on the Hillesley village site who mentioned he had a postcard, and on the front was a picture of the 1905 Hawkesbury triplets, My grandmother being one of them I contacted him he sent me a copy, I was naturally curious as to who had sent it originaly and hence I received the text and a note saying I doubt these are connected in anyway, he also said that the recipient was his grandmother, having worked out who the sender and recipient was I asked if he knew you, turns out he is or has been in contact with you. In December I was in the Beaufort telling this story to Robert LEE from Canada who was visiting when a couple on the next table heard me mention COOK they told me their son was researching the COOK's turned out to be your Mum and Dad. small world or are you famous? regards Robert Visit my web pages at http://www.hawkesburyhistory.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "ericwhitlock" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 12:25 AM Subject: FW: [HWK]FRANKCOMBE and PUGSLEY postcard > > Hi Robert et all > > I am just sending this again because iI did not get areply so I thought > there may have been a server problem.

    3. Hi Carole The 1871 census ref is RG 10 2581 3B Hawkesbury : Hillesley, Tresham, Saddlewood, Killcott.................etc Page 13 Lower Kilcott item 62 John WATTS, Head, Widr, age 49, Ag Lab, born Hawkesbury Upton Sarah ( then a squiggle like an S but which I think must be a J) Ditto, Daur, Unmar, age 16, Servant General, Ditto Walter Ditto, Son, - , age 9, Scholar, Ditto I feel guilty now that I didn't transcribe a bigger chunk of the tape. It was very near the beginning and I had a stack of tricky stuff to look for in Somerset, so I moved on very rapidly, but my memory is that there were a whole lot of other WATTS in Lower Kilcott. The entry means that Hannah WATTS nee PAINTER must have died between Dec qu 1861 and 1871, but I had no time for more than a quick check for the first 2 quarters to see if she had died in childbirth. ( no result). I'll let you know if I locate Walter after 1881. Cheers Liz On Friday, January 23, 2004, at 10:22 PM, anthony sharp wrote: > Hi Liz > Brilliant, another WATTS for the collection!.

    2. Hello Carole, I don't think is likely to help you much but just in case ................... I have some Wiltshire Sainsbury's. Samuel CHAPPELL married Sarah SAINSBURY. Samuel was the son of Ely CHAPPELL and Ann Lawrence HISCOX. Sarah was the daughter of William SAINSBURY and Mary. Sarah's brother William Albert SAINSBURY married Mary Ann CHAPPELL - Samuel's sister. I have more information about this family if you want it. By the way, I had a look for your Richard WATTS, Quaker yesterday. He doesn't appear to have been buried in Oldbury on the Hill.

    3. Hi Carole and every one, Firstly, I've had a great time going through the Hawkesbury CD produced last summer. Thanks to all concerned. Like Carole, I arrived seeking the roots of one WATTS family member and found more than I could have dreamed of, not least the friendly support and interest of other list members. I have been listening in to the recent WATTS conversations and after a trawl thro the 1871 census in the Family Record Centre yesterday now have one more WATTS to add to Carole's bulging file. My greatgrandmother Sarah Jane WATTS (1854 - 1949) was the daughter of John WATTS (1821-1900) who was in turn son of John WATTS (1791 - 1881), the butcher from Upton, and Jane Pritchard. This line seems strong on longevity! The new WATTS is a brother Walter for Sarah Jane, shown in 1871 age 9 living in Lower Kilcott with his widowed father John and sister, GRO confirms the birth as Walter WATTS, Dec qu 1861 Chipping Sodbury 6a 158. There is an 1881 entry for a private in the Horfield barracks, which I think must be him although the ages and dates dont tally perfectly - unless any one knows better of course. They give a Walter WATTS , born 1863 in Hawkesbury, age 18. I've found nothing so far on the 1901 census. If anyone knows anything about him I'd be interested to hear from them Liz

    3. Hi John and All Pleased you find this story fascinating. I always worry that people without an obvious connection with the names will not be interested.and curse me for sending too many irrelevant messages to clog up their servers! When I first subscribed I thought I had only a vague connection with Hawkesbury with the marriage of Daniel WATTS & Sarah WATTS in 1804. I didn't even know where Hawkesbury was! Now, through the help of everyone on this list, I seem to find that the WATTS were connected to just about every family you can think of. I've learnt about the geography, geology, trades, agriculture, transport, .... all sorts of things - not forgetting the pubs of course. Perhaps this is an appropriate time to thank the Pond Dipper for all his hard work in the early days and a great big thank you to Robert MILLARD for setting up his website and letting everyone share our resources. Without you I wouldn't have such huge files. THANK YOU!!! Carole PS. For Robert - No, I don't want any favours at the moment!

    3. Evening All It didn't take me long to find another question to ask you!! On 5th January 1804 Sarah WATTS (parents so far unknown) married Charles LANSBURY or SANSBURY or SAINSBURY at Hawkesbury. Both shown as of this parish. Witness John LANSBURY etc. All made their mark.. I have a copy of the entry from the register and it looks like LANSBURY, but each time I've seen a transcript it is SAINSBURY or SANSBURY. There are SAINSBURY burials at Acton Turville which just might be them. Does anyone know anything about this family plesae? Best wishes Carole

    3. Both George COATES born 1836 and William COATES born 1838 are both listed as born in Hawkesbury to William COATES and Hannah CHAPPELL on the LDS site but recorded by a member of LDS not from records. It seems odd that they would have two children before they married in 1839 or was that the norm in those days. I wonder if there was a reason for them being in Chepstow in Monmouthshire, I wonder if it is to do with Hannah CHAPPELL's parents but she was born in Sherston Wiltshire.

    3. It's not all my own work! Some comes from my extremely helpful cousin D Kay Buchanan in Australia. I copy him any interesting emails on the WATTS & PRITCHARD families. . My thanks to Bob and Brian for their input. I guess its about time to leave this family and think of a new topic of conversation! Just give me a few moments. Cheers Carole
