Hello All, I am new to this list and believe one of my ancestors traces back to the Hawkesbury area. His name was Stephen RODWAY who lived in Cricklade, Wiltshire and was murdered in 1819. I have information he was born in Little Sodbury to Charles RODWAY and Charity COLE. Further RODWAYS through the generations are Nicolas, James, William, Giles and William who originated in Hawkesbury around 1568. Any information on any branches of this family gratefully received. Yours Aye Tony Wheeler

Thanks in advance Brian Morgan

Hello Tony, I think I just replied to the wrong message, so here goes again. My 4xggrandmother Ann Rodway was born 1749 (?place)and she died 22 Mar 1835 at Hawkesbury. She married John Cook on 26th Oct. 1767 at Hawkesbury and they had 10 children. If she is one of yours I'll be pleased to send on further details and to receive more data about her ancestors.

Hello Tony, I have a 4xggmother named Ann Rodway, b. 1749, d. 22.3.1835 Hawkesbury, who married John Cook, Hawkesbury 26 Oct. 1867. They had 10 children. I'll be very pleased to send on details and to receive any data on her ancestors. Brian Morgan

Hi, I read your note to Geoff. Don't forget the Sharpness canal which links the sea/severn estuary with Gloucester and from Gloucester to the Midlands and onwards. Patricia.

Hi Ken, Tis supposed to be a holiday.....lol. But I may not resist going to Worcester train station to see if I can find a large bloodstain ont he platform where a cousin dies after slashing his own throat on July 16 1870. The answer to your question could well be yes. If it would fit on the boat. Coal which is fairly heavy was carried as were most things. Machinery would maybe be needed to be dismantled. Try the British Waterways site for useful links and history. Nearest canal to Hawkesbury would be the Kennet and Avon which fell into disuse when it was bought by the GWR. My biggest worry about the holiday is will I suffer withdrawal symptoms from genealogy. My mate is taking his laptop so I may pack a few extras just in case. Geoffro

Geoff, Speaking of Pond Dipping - did I ever mention to you that Jane HALE, wife of Thomas VAISEY of Cam, is reputed to be descended from Sir Matthew HALE, last Lord Chief Justice of England to have a witch burnt at the stake? I cannot find the connection, although family members of the VAISEY family apparently visited the estate during WWI and were accepted as distant family members. I don't know if I am descended, but if I am, this little witch sure is the family revenge on him. I reckon I would survive a pond dipping anywhere. Linda Briagolong, Australia.

Hello to the list from New Zealand, I joined hoping some of my KENNICOTTS may have migrated to your area from Bristol'. I have three brothers EDWARD NICHOLAS JOHN listed on the Swansea Census for 1841 as pottery workers, birth place listed as Bristol, probably round the 1800s. Edward's daughter ELIZABETH my grandmother married JAMES GOODGER in Tasmania in 1864. Hope to find details of the family who remained in Bristol. What a holiday Geoffro will have. We do not have such a feature as a canal here let alone narrow boats. Olive in Auckland. New Zealand on a pleasant Autumn day.

Hi Geoffro, While drifting about the Worcester canals, I wonder if you might ask whether heavy freight was ever moved on those things? Specifically ag machinery (horse-drawn threshing machines), especially on the Thames-Severn canal? This odd bit of info may explain what my Suffolk-born g-g-grandfather was doing in Tetbury and Bristol during the early 1830s. Envious about your idyllic holiday plans... Ken Murray in New York

Geoff, I don't know how well I could do some transcribing of old documents; but I'm willing to give it a shot if you want to mail me some. Sheila Jacobson, N. 7911 Sharpsburg Ct., Spokane, WA 99208 USA

OK, I'm game. Any help on these lines is greatly appreciated. JOHN RICHINGS (England, date unk.-1895 OH) married MARY ANN PREECE (Eng.1846- 1913 OH) at St. James, Paddington in 1867. Mary Ann's parents: HENRY PREECE & ANN WEBB. John's parents: unknown. John & Mary Ann had a daughter (also named) Mary Ann and then moved to Berea, Ohio and had 5 more children: William Charles, Roseann, Sarah, John James, and Joseph. John & Mary Ann were my great grandparents. I would dearly love to be able to find John's parents' names; and any other info on my great great grandparents. Thanks for reading.

Morning All from a beautifully sunny Bristol. We have a number of new members this week whcih brings our happy band to over 40. As usual with lists of this type most are happy to sit on the sidelines and watch the world go by. It is important for all members to post their interests from time to time so that other listers can help them. We have already united families through this list and I am positive that we can unite more or just answer those nagging questions that you may have. One lister was united this week with living rellies in Bristol. I don't fancy her phone bill next month. Next weekend I will be away on holiday - 4 days on a narrowboat (canalboat) around Worcester so I will have to trust you to behave yourselves. The weekend after is GFHS fair where the intention is to get the fiche reader and more fiches to add to my collection. So just in case the info is available at the GFHS fair you better get posting your Hawkesbury queries. On my return lookups will be available on the 1891 census the 1813 - 1884 burial register and other things. I have the 1841 for Hawkesbury as well but it is largely unreadable so rather than do look ups on that I will post info from time to time. Other fiches will be added as finances allow. I am minded to purchase some of the Wiltshire fiches first and the burial registers of surrounding villages mainly due to the large numbers of missing Hawkesbury families. Thanks to Gordon Beavington's work on the 1851 for Somerset another THOMPSON stray has been located and traced forward to Bristol in 1881. That's about it for now. I have not forgotten any of your queries. Some take longer than others. Is anybody good at transcribing old documents ?? Would you like to have a go at some of mine if I snail mail you copies. ?? Geoffro The Pond Dipper List Organiser

While checking the Wapley & Codrington Bishops Transcripts (1512-1812) for my PULLEN ancestors I came across these two Hawkesbury references that might be of interest to someone. (LDS Film #1596176, Item 8) 1744 Oct 14 Marriage of Thomas COOPER of the parish of Hawkesbury and Martha ISAAC of the parish of Horton. 1751 May 13 Marriage of William ALWAY of the parish of Hawkesbury and Mary HARWOOD of the parish of Horton.

Dear Geoffro, Thanks for your effort anyway. I had a few military biffs and a retired British soldier take a stab at them. Most of the responses agreed with one another on which battallion my Wicks guys were in so at least I have a start on them. By any chance, do you know anyone that may be living near Tormarton or Sopworth and might be willing to write some info from the gravestones there. Excerpts from a library book sent to me by a Wicks relative in Birmingham have Wicks in the graveyard at Tormarton but it only gives years of death so I cannot ascertain who is who with any surety. Also, thankyou for letting me know about the Wicks in the GRO/PRO data posted to the website. My Birmingham Wicks relative has followed his line back to that Bartholomew Wicks of Hillesley so, needless to say that he is somehow related to mine but I still have to iron out al the how's, etc. Thanks again, Ronda Wicks (Woodstock, Ontario, Canada)

Dear Ronda, I noticed that you mentioned "WICK", could you tell me where I would find any info on this Village?

Robert Please don't shout i.e use all caps. Hard to read. However do use caps for SURNAMES as it makes them stand you. For more info about Daniel STINCHCOMBE we need to ask list member Dave HEDGES who is probably the GG Grandson of Daniels eldest Ann. Dave posted the following message on the 16th of March :- Does anyone have connections with any of the following STINCHCOMBE siblings from Hawkesbury Parish. Their father was probably Daniel but not 100% sure yet (perhaps someone can help verify): a.. Ann - Born about 1852. Died Didmarton about 1930. b.. Elizabeth - Born about 1854 - Later lived next door to the old Rising Sun public house in Bradley Road, Wotton-Under-Edge. c.. Sarah Jane - Born about 1860 d.. Daniel - Born about 1860 Daniel had a son George who was chauffeur to the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort. I am told he used to take his relatives for a drive in the Daimler when the Duke wasn't watching. I am the 2nd great grandson of Ann. Descendants of the above Stinchcombes, as I know them to date, are shown on my web site at: http://www.davehedges.care4free.net/ It's a biggish file and no index for it as yet. Regards Dave Hedges, Wotton-Under-Edge davehedges@care4free.net Researching: GALE, HEDGES, STINCHCOMBE, JONES, LIDDINGTON (not related). And I replied Hi Dave, Lets try this for size. The online IGi gives Daniel and Amelia as parents of Sarah Jane. Household 153 in Section 3 of the Hawkesbury census on Gordon's CD shows :- ILES Moses Widr 86 Rtd Farmer Hawkesbury STINCHCOMBE Daniel GrandSon 24 Ag Lab Hawkesbury Amelia Grand daughter 29 Servant Hawkesbury CORNOCK Henry Grand Daughter's Son 8 Scholar Slimbridge Which makes you very lucky as the following will show. The online IGI has a marriage of Daniel STINCHCOMBE to Amelia CORNOCK on the 5th of October 1850 and a christening for Daniel on the 17th February 1828 with parents of William and Elizabeth STINCHCOMBE, household 20 S3 STINCHCOMBE William 61 Ag Lab Hawkesbury Elizabeth 57 Ag Lab Hawkesbury William 30 Ag Lab Hawkesbury Thomas 15 Ag Lab Hawkesbury George 13 Ag Lab Hawkesbury Eli 11 Scholar And now we get to the really interesting get your teeth sharpened bit - The online IGI shows a William STINCHCOMBE marrying an Elizabeth HES in the right time frame. There is an Elizabeth Hes christened around the right time in Chipping Sodbury but I do not like her. I do, however, like the Christening of Elizabeth ILLES at Hawkesbury as daughter of Moses and Ann ILLES. Now read ILLES for ILES and ILES for HES and subject to verification in the parish records I am happy. No sign in online IGI of christenings of Amelia or Henry CORNOCK. Hope this helps. Now can you establish a link between your William above and Mary STINCHCOMBE who married Weekes PINCOTT in 1751. If so you have at least 3 relatives on the list Give me a ring on 0117 938 1338 if you want to dsicuss. And now Dave it is over to you. Geoffro

Hi Ronda Apologies for the delay in replying. have shown the pics to all the oldies groups in the area. Sorry no luck best wishes Geoffro
