Hi Carol and all the other listers Makes a nice change from THOMPSON doesn't it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geoffro PS Have I ever mentioned that David THOMPSONs mummy was Elizabeth WATTS ?

Hi Ronda and all other WATTS researchers, I'm a new subscriber and this is my first ever message to a mailing list. Please forgive me if I break any of the rules on my first attempt (especially Geoffro). I am tracing the family of Thomas WATTS, believed to be the son of Daniel & Sarah, who was chr. 15 March 1820 at Hawkesbury. He therefore gets a mention in Ronda's suggested line of descent and, if its correct, my line goes back another 4 generations. In support of Ronda's suggestions I have little concrete to add except that Thomas named his second daughter Mary Jane (? chr 1846 Hawkesbury). Thomas married Emil(e)y WHITFIELD; in 1851 they are at Falfield (Thomas's occ. = Miller) with his mother in law Eliza WHITFIELD and children Sarah. R (abt 1843 Oldbury), Mary Jane( abt 1846 in Wotton under Edge),George (Whitfield) abt 1848 Woodford) and Albert Thomas (abt 1850 Falfield). Other children are Annie E. (abt 1856 Tortworth), Thomas (abt 1863 Falfield), William (abt ?1863 Cromhall) and Edward (abt 1865 Falfield). By 1881, George (my Gt Grandfather) has married Sarah GWINNELL, Albert has married Jane? and these two are in Cardiff. Annie has married John SPERRY (from Cheltenham). and Edward and Thomas are with them in Bedminster..Thomas snr is still with his mother in law (lucky man) at Woodford, (Berkeley) Alkington (occ Miller (C)), wilfe Emily and son William are also there. The 1881 census on CD ROM gives Thomas's place of birth as Tewkesbury but this should be Hawkesbury, although I have not seen the original census yet. Going back to Ronda's tree, did you know that Nathaniel WATTS married a second time after the death of Ann WATTS (nee DAVIS) in Dec qtr 1858 (age 62). Nathaniel married Ann(e) FRENCH (born Sept Qtr 1839 Slimbridge). They were married March Qtr 1860 Gloucester and she died in 1914 age 75. Their first child was Anne Mary Toghill WATTS. This information has been given to me by another reseracher and I have not verified it but have other details if anyone is interested. I also see that the IGI has Marie WATTES married to Richard WITCHELL 13 Jan 1635 Kingswood by Wooton under Edge - could she be another candidate for the Mary/Marie WITCHELL.ancestor? If anyone has any info. about my family or can fill in any gaps eg where were they in 1841, 1861, 1871 & 1891 and waht happened to the other offspring I would be delighted to hear from them. Very best wishes from Carole Sharp (in sunny Cardiff).

Very interesting Carole! I saw the other marriage to Nathaniel WATTS (Ann FRENCH) but couldn't be sure that it was the same Nathaniel ... that is good to know! My gt grandfather Thomas Fry WICKS, Mary Witchell WATTS' grandson went to Treorchy area of Glamorgan when he was 14 in 1893, apparently alone! Perhaps he stayed with second cousins (which is what George and Albert WATTS would have been)! I too saw the marriage of Marie WATTES to Richard WITCHELL but haven't made any attempt to follow that one up yet. I just finished getting "home copies" of the IGI for WATTS in both Wiltshire and Gloucestershire ... it's easier than sitting for hours searching the FamilySearch website and I can scan for single parent christenings in an attempt at assembling family groups. This ... because the FamilySearch site's search engine will not do a parent search without both first names and there is often only one. If any WATTS researchers find themselves in such a situation feel free to email me for a scan of the entire list... include all probable locations and the parent name, time frame, etc. (I also have WITCHELL for Wilts. and Glos. too!) Cheers! Ronda WICKS (Woodstock, Ontario, Canada)

Hi Geoff Thanks for your reply, I think I will have to go back to Yate Records Office a again as you suggested, and will mail them tomorrow. Thanks Cynthia

Hello Sarah I note you are interested in STINCHCOMBE and BEARD I was curious about any connection to the STINCHCOMBE family you may have and also the BEARD family of Horton my GG grandfather was Giles BEARD of Horton. regards Robert Millard ----- Original Message ----- From: "sarah mitchell" <r_of_gloucester@hotmail.com> To: <ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2000 9:47 AM Subject: [[Hawks]] Re: [[Hawks]] WHITTERN Yes, these are WHITTERNS, this must have been a transcription error.

Any thoughts, comments, off the wall theories, no matter how daft they might seem to you are welcome on the following. The Facts. 1 David THOMPSON was born at Hawkesbury in 1859/60 to Edward and Mary Jane THOMPSON. 2 In 1878 David THOMPSON married Mary Ann Maddison at Bristol Registry Office. The certificate is held. 3 Mary Ann died about 1900 and is buried at Ridgeway Cemetary, Bristol. 4 A family story is that when their youngest son Ernest was 15 David brought a new woman home and kicked the boys out. Henry David (Dawn and Doug's grand dad) joined the Royal Marines). 5 In 1904 Annie REED buries her father John REED (born 1831 - Bristol ) in Blue W 380 at Greenbank Cemetary, Bristol. Annie is living then at Chelsea Park Road, Esaton. As was John. 6 In 1910 Henry David lists as his residence at the time of his marriage 5 Walton Street, Stapleton Road. One of the witnesses is Albert WEEKS who married his sister Rosina. 7 In 1912 Annie REED buries her mother Ann (born 1822 - Bristol nee FOX) in the above plot. She gives her mothers address as 5 Walton Street, Stapleton Road. The same as Henry Davids at the time of his marriage. 8 About 1916 David retires and leaves Bristol to live at Laburnum Cottage, Inglestone Common ( he bought it from his nephew the father of Bill "Bills Book" THOMPSON). 9 In 1922 David writes his will and leaves £100 each to his 6 children and the rest to his unnamed wife for her whilst she is alive. 10 In 1928 David returns to Bristol and lives at 8 Grove Road, Fishponds. 11 In 1940 he writes another will in which the children get £10 each and the rest goes to his wife Annie. 12 In this second will he desires to be cremated and his ashes scattered on his mothers grave at Greenbank Cemetary. 13 David dies in 1941 and is buried in with Ann and John REED. We possess the invoice for the Forest of Dean Kerb stones around the grave and 3 inbscriptions totalling 70 letters. The inscription tells us nothing more. 14 In 1953 Annie THOMPSON is the fourth and last person to be buried in the grave. Questions 1 Were the kids kicked out ? If so who was the woman ? Was it Annie REED ? 2 If not Annie REED then whom ? 3 Did David live with Annie for a number of years before marrying her after 1912 ? There are probably more questions than answers. PLease help Geoffro The Pond Dipper Http://www.Hawkesburyfamilyhistory.co.uk PS the picture of David T and Annie BLAKENEY on the web pages is of David T and Annie REED and will be corrected as soon as possible.

Hi Cynthia The online IGI gives a marriage between Eliza WHITE and Henry BAKER of the 10th of October 1852. Do you have this certificate which would hopefully give the fathers names and occupations of both parties and if you are lucky will also give their ages at the time of marriage. A letter to the Registrars Office at Yate with a cheque for £6.50 plus postage would be quicker than using the PRO at London although it will still take a few weeks. However as you have the above date it would be easiest. The wedding certificate would also give residences at the time of marriage. Geoffro

Hi Robert Thanks for answering my request about BAKER/WHITE I'm not sure that Annie Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry WHITE and Elizabeth BAKER, you may know more than me on this. I have found Mary Ann WHITE who was christened in Hawkesbury on Dec 25 1853, then Eliza WHITE (my g.g. grandmother) George WHITE and Sarah WHITE who were all christened on Dec 25 1861 does any of this fit in on your research, I have Eliza birth certificate and she was born 16 July 1855 in Hawkebury. Would be pleased to hear from you. Many Thanks cynthia

This is brilliant news. I, for one, am on the edge of my chair. Geoffro

Hi all Having complained off-list to Geoffro yesterday that there was no-one at the get together with COOPER connections, I woke this morning to a long e-mail from Pam Ray in Australia, replying to a message I sent her in May. She has Hawkesbury COOPER connections, and I did correspond with her several years ago. If anyone can find copies of our previous correspondence, I would be very pleased. Pam has just returned from a four month European tour, much spent in Norway doing research on her father's family about whom she is writing a book. She did, however, visit both Hawkesbury and Horton, where she said it was raining. Pam attended the recent Australasian Congress on Genealogy in Perth, where she delivered a paper. She also met Shirley STONE, but has not yet had contact with Roderick COOPER. Pam uses a Mac, so is going to post me some stuff rather than send it as an attachment. I will let you all know what she has. She is obviously very busy, and thinks membership of the mailing list may be more than she can cope with. I have said that I will forward items of interest. These Australians can be so helpful .... Bob Lawrence
