CORNOCK Matilda born 1813 Wootton Under Edge. Parents - CORNOCK Athur and Penelope. Does anyone recognise these Cornocks? Jill Bath jill@2up2down.fsnet.co.uk

Geoffro, While scanning the Sopworth, Wiltshire, Bishops Transcripts for MILSOM records in the period 1812-1837 and I came across this THOMPSON marriage that might be of interest to you. Isaac THOMPSON of the parish of Hawkesbury & Jane PHILPS of this parish married by banns 14 Feb 1814 Witnesses; Samuel THOMPSON & Kitty THOMPSON Regards, Adrian Sheppard Campbell, California, USA ade@3dfx.com

Thanks Geoffro Although I guess 39.2 KM was a goodly distance in 1851, I'm sure it wasn't insurmountable. I shall have to get myself a good map of the area soon so that I'll know whereof I speak.

Hi Marilyn, >>GEORGE HULBERT born 1825 and SAMUEL born 1822. There is a George Hulbert in Bitton near Thornbury in the 1851 census, but there are no other appearances by him in records I have seen so far that list his parents. Did you mean the George HULBERT listed as being 21 at Kington, near Thornbury ?? Geoffro

Morning all, James SHIPWAY was born abt 1817 in Leighterton, GLS. On December 6th 1840 at Hawkesbury he married Mary BALL. At this stage Mary's age and birthplace are unknown. I would be grateful if SKS visiting Gloucester Record Office could do a quick look up for the marriage and let me know Mary's parentage. I have a strong feeling she was christened in 1810 in Nettleton, Wiltshire. James and Mary had 3 children, James (1841), Daniel (1843) and Rachel (1845). The next we know James is the father of Sophia THOMPSON SHIPWAY born 1851 and living with his new wife Rodelinda Rowena THOMPSON, in the then Tything of Hillesley, part of the Hawkesbury census district (Hillesley became a separate parish later in 1851).Parish registers have failed to produce the SHIPWAY/THOMPSON marriage to date. Shortly after this the family move to Australia sailing on "Kate" on which Charlotte was born arriving in 1852. The Nettleton BALL family are already linked in to the Hawkebury THOMPSON's and other families in the village including the STAFFORD's and DAVIS's. Is Mary BALL a further link between Nettleton and Hawkesbury. Any help would be gratefully appreciated either through the look up above or BMD index look ups for the death of Mary SHIPWAY between 1845 and 1850, and/or the marriage of James SHIPWAY and Rodelinda Rowena THOMPSON between 1845 and 1852. Many thanks from a cold, wet and windy Bristol Geoffro

I have started to collect quite a bit of information on my HULBERT family, but there is a big hole in the family in the middle of the 19th C. George HULBERT was born in N. Wiltshire but married Ann COOK in Hawkesbury in 1819. They had 8 children according to the Hawkesbury Parish register. I know 2 of these died (James and Richard) - I have seen the death register for these. Another 4 are accounted for (Grace, Ann, Richard and James). This leaves 2 problems. GEORGE HULBERT born 1825 and SAMUEL born 1822. There is a George Hulbert in Bitton near Thornbury in the 1851 census, but there are no other appearances by him in records I have seen so far that list his parents. Samuel has disappeared altogether, but I think it likely he did not die in childhood, as I have found the other death records for the family. One final mystery - Grace had a son in 1849 - EDWIN JOHN HULBERT who also disappears in later life. There are reports my Grandfather (son of James) said that his uncles went to Canada - and so that would normally mean Samuel and George - but as Edwin John was raised by grandparents at one point, it might also refer to him. I have had no luck so far on any of the migration records I have been able to scan. So - please if you find any HULBERT born or connected to Hawkesbury, I'd love to hear from you - unlike the Thompsons (where I also have a link) they have a single point of origin in the village with George in 1819, so should be easier to place!

I too went to the website and found it quite interesting. I have always been amused by the number of places in Canada named for places in England. Woodstock, where I live and grew up is also one of those places. It sits on the Thames River in Oxford County. 20 minutes from us (in a car) is Stratford and Shakespeare (Stratford is on the Avon River in Perth County) ... nuff said - I think you get the drift <smiles>. I have found, over the years, that many places were either named after Earls, Lords, Admirals, etc. (as is the case with Hawkesbury, Ontario - named after the Earl of Hawkesbury) or after favoured places (sometimes home or a place that bears a similar geographic resemblance in England) by the original settlers. Sometimes, as in the case of Ingersoll, Ontario, the place is named after the man who the British government paid to gather people, clear the land and create a settlement. Thomas Ingersoll came from Salem, Massachusetts. I could carry on and on but this is not the place since this is an England list not a Canadian history one <grin> . But the name connections are interesting and the USA names are just the same. And now that I've added my 2 cents I will run before I wear out my welcome! <smiles> Happy Digging to All, Ronda Wicks (Woodstock, Ontario, Canada) -----Original Message----- From: Karen Davies <bihinv@axionet.com> To: ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com <ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, March 22, 2000 2:02 PM Subject: [[Hawks]] Re: [[Hawks]] Re: [[Hawks]] "A monument to Hawkesbury" >Hi Geofro >Well, I was all excited about a project worth 20% of my mark - went to the >website - had a good look around - beautifully done site, I must say - > downloaded the history so I could read it off line (huge file) - got a good >handle on the origins of the town of Hawkesbury, Ontario, Canada - was all >ready to write you all about it.

Hi Geofro Well, I was all excited about a project worth 20% of my mark - went to the website - had a good look around - beautifully done site, I must say - downloaded the history so I could read it off line (huge file) - got a good handle on the origins of the town of Hawkesbury, Ontario, Canada - was all ready to write you all about it. AND...... what should I find (should have read the whole thing earlier - blonde roots showing again) but a mini history, courtesy of Shelly Parker. So disappointed to be missing out on the extra grade!!!! Interesting though, isn't it. It seems our little Hawkesbury is/was not alone over there. Oh well, ours holds it's own unique little piece of history to each and every one of us here on our list. Karen

>The proclamation of the county of Hawkesbury occured in 1800 when the baron of Hawkesbury was the minister of the colonies in the British cabinet and a personal friend of King George III.< AHA! This may well explain the naming of the Hawkesbury River, just north of Sydney, which was named just a few years before then. Its towering orange sandstone cliffs bear so little resemblance to the village which this list discusses, I wondered whether it was the result of some delusionally homesick explorer!!! Cheers from New York... Ken M.

Hey Geoffro, If you don't mind me interjecting- since I am in Canada too >grin< - are you referring to somewhere in Ontario? or another province?

Hello List Matilda CORNOCK was born circa 1813 and was the daughter of Arthur and Penelope CORNOCK from Wootton Under Edge. Matilda married Charles HUMPHRIES 1831 and moved to Bristol where she had nine Humphries children between 1833 & 1851. Charles died and I believe Matilda remarried and possibly had more children. Can anyone please provide any information about Matilda and her parents or siblings. Regards Jill Wiseman Bath

Sorry, that was meant to be a Cc: > > What can you tell us about this Hawkesbury. Is there a connection with our > Hawkesbury ?? > > > Geoffro http://www.ville.hawkesbury.on.ca/indexa.html I was just looking at this page the other day... might answer some of your questions. some small information about the coat of arms and this snip from the section titled history... The name Hawkesbury The name of our town comes from the Very Honorable Charles Jenkinson, baron of Hawkesbury (1786). He was later the earl of Liverpool (1727-1808). The proclamation of the county of Hawkesbury occured in 1800 when the baron of Hawkesbury was the minister of the colonies in the British cabinet and a personal friend of King George III. Several little villages in England had the same name which signified : Hawks, a family name, and bury, a popular transformation of berry (castle). Shelly in the snow in the mountains but the sun is shining today.....

Hi List My G-G-G-Grandfather was a farmer in Newent with 14 acres. I don't know, yet, if he owned or leased the land or if he worked the land for someone else. Can anyone tell me where Newent is/was in relation to Hawkesbury? Thanks, again Karen Davies

Hi List Is anyone researching Ebenezer BLETCHLY in Hawkesbury, 1851? I have found an entry in the 1851 Census which shows my G-G-Grandmother, Charlotte HOPKINS, and her sister, Mary, working as servants in the residence of Dr? Ebenezer BLETCHLY. I am hoping to get some background information. Thanks. Regards from the "Wetcoast" of Canada Karen Davies

Hi Geofro (Hope you don't mind such a thus far silent lister calling you by that name) Please count me in also. I'd love to purchase both the Book and map(s). Doubt I could help much in the process from Canada but I shall throw my support in for the Society any way I can - after all, a huge chunk of my family tree is rooted in the area. Will look forward to news on the subject. Cheers Karen Davies

Hello everyone! I am desperate to find my MOST WANTED and have posted this to a few lists. My apologies for the repetition to those who will receive this more than once. WICKS, Thomas Fry ; he was born in 1879 and grew up in Tormarton, Glocs. He was my great grandfather. His mother was S. WICKS and his father's name is unknown to me. His sister Emily "Em" WICKS married George SMITH - George worked at the GENT FARM near Tormarton. Emily's daughter Ivy SMITH married Leonard WHALE and lived at Ashwicke near Marshfield, Wilts. My Tom was a Coal Miner who moved around Bloucester, Wales and Bristol ... and he didn't keep contact with anyone in his family except sister Emily. He kept pictures of family though and I have one of a WICKS who was a soldier. There is a story that an Uncle Tom WICKS was a butcher in Chipping Sodbury and was called into service where he died (story comes from one of Ivy's sons). Ivy's son thought this was my gr grandfather, Thomas Fry WICKS, but it is not. My Tom emigrated to Canada in 1913. My Tom should appear in the 1881 census but I cannot find him and I am at a loss as to how to find out his other siblings names or his parents names. It is believed that FRY married in somewhere with the WICKS line which is the source of Tom's middle name. Also, CHAMPION may have been a name that married in with us (info from Ivy's son). If anyone has ANY information on WICKS in the area of Tormarton, Yate, Chipping Sodbury or Kingswood (Bristol), I would really appreciate some names and dates etc. that I can start follow to see if they lead me to Thomas Fry WICKS' family!. Thank you all for your time, Ronda WICKS (Woodstock, Ontario, Canada)
