After her death > George Martin married Caroline Huntly on 16 Jun 1855 (FreeBMD 2Q > Kingsclere 2c 337). I found the marriage of John Collins & Maria Martin in the Hants Marr Index at Burghclere on 8 May 1830, John was buried at Burghclere on 1 Aug 1832 age 24. I have checked the Burghclere BTs and there are no Collins or Dennis baptisms there. However the 1851 Census indicates that Maria was born ca1809 in Burghclere. 1808 is missing from the BTs, so I wonder if she was born in Newtown or Ecchinswell since both are only "just down the road". Something else for me to check tomorrow. > Could Mary Andrews nee Woodhouse be the daughter of Issac Woodhouse > and Sarah Woodhouse nee Martin? If so she was baptised 19 May 1781 > at St Marys, Kingsclere. > Does anybody have the Mary Woodhouse = Unknown Andrews mariage? Neither Hants Marriage Index nor the Berks Marriage Index this marriage. The IGI has a only one marriage, in Dec 1847 in Walsall to William Andrews. I'll have a look at Census data tomorrow to see if this could be possibly her. -- John Lewis Debian (Sid) with the GeneWeb genealogy package

I also have to find the parents of J W H Hickley, a grandson age 24, who was living with them in 1901. As is often the case I have a relationship to the Collins family, Sarah Hunt wife of Francis was a second cousin of my 4xgt-grandfather. I also have a family connection to the surname Hart so am disappointed not to be able to find any trace of a Jane Hart (any Hart for that matter) in Ecchinswell in 1841. She is recorded as being born there in every Census up to 1901. The marriage between William & Jane may have taken place in Ecchinswell but so far as I know that register is still held at Ecchinswell so has not been filmed. The only way to find out more concerning Jane Hart at this stage is to get a copy of the marriage certificate - unless of course someone on the List knows all about her :-) -- John Lewis Debian (Sid) with the GeneWeb genealogy package

I can't remember now how we first got in contact but I imagine one of us must have seen the other one's name in the HGS magazine. Our Sims family does have a connection with Wiltshire.....just! Thomas Sims' grandparents William SIMS/SEEMS and Frances GLASS were married in Easton Royal in 1776. Frances was a local girl and I have managed to trace her family in the Vale of Pewsey back to the first parish registers. However I have never managed to establish where William came from. Some while ago I found a marriage of Henry SEEMS and Ann TREHERN at East Woodhay, 1753. I have never discovered where Henry and Ann went after that. They had no children bapt in the area and they were not buried there. One possibility is the nearby parish of Linkenholt, for which the registers survive only for marriages in the Phillimore transcript, which shows the presence of Simses at that time. I am very tempted by Henry and Ann as parents for William because of: use of SEEMS as a variant of Sims William and Frances called their eldest son Henry and their eldest daughter Ann the fact that, after his marriage to Frances, William settled in Faccombe, which is very close to both East Woodhay and Linkenholt. More speculation! Dorothy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

I have been inputting the WEBB family from the Whitchurch, Freefolk & Laverstock area into the database and found a Mary Ann GLASS born ca 1808 in Reading had married Samuel Webb at St. Giles, Reading in 1827 So I wondered if she too had come from Wiltshire. As it happens this Webb family has links to Kingsclere with Charles ROLFE born Dell in 1830 marrying Selina Webb at Whitchurch in 1856 and Lucy SEWARD born Town in 1807 marrying Stephen Webb at St. Mary, Kingsclere in 1832. -- John Lewis Debian (Sid) with the GeneWeb genealogy package
