Hello Everyone, Thought this very informative Army website would interest you. http://hometown.aol.co.uk/kevinasplin/home.html Also Commemorative Symbols and their meanings website http://members.aol.com/TombView/symbol2.html I found this sad little website Saint Pancras (Foundling Hospital Church Of England) C067701 1741-1838 The first 7 children were all baptised with the surname of ABBOTT, they then decided that they had better baptise these foundlings with other surnames. Worth a look at just to know what went on years ago. Could this be the reason your family tree hit a brick wall. Kind regards Barbara Lewis Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants.

I had noticed Census entries for Richard Bulkley so will check to see if he is the Richard born 1843 to Wilford & Mary or an earlier one, possibly brother to Edward & Joseph and maybe Wilford. I just checked the IGI and found Richard born 21 Dec 1801 bapt. 25 Mar 1905 Edward born 8 Jun 1804, bapt. 25 Mar 1805 Wilford bapt 25 Mar 1805 all to George Wilford Bulkley and Sarah at St. Mary, St. Marylebone so that links those three. -- John Lewis Debian Linux with Geneweb genealogy application -- John Lewis Debian Linux with Geneweb genealogy application

Thomas Alfred Bulkley married Annette Barton MAGUIRE in Chelsea RD Sep Qtr 1867. and in 1871 Census he is living at Oakley Villa, Brimpton with wife and two daughters Helen age 2 and Mabel age 1 both daus born East Indies. These children fit with the Annette M age 23 and Helen M 21 living with grandmother Mary at Knightsbridge House in 1891. So that leaves the two Canadian born children to find parents for. In 1881 there is a nephew Wilford W Bulkley age 6 born Vancouver Island in Edwards household at Woodlands Vicarage. I found a Wilford Bulkley born Hants ca 1805 who married a Mary and had 5 children including a Wilford Willoughby born ca1835 who married Emily Simes in Pancras RD Dec Qtr 1859. Wilford & Emily are living in St. Pancras in 1861 but I haven't found them in 1871 so did they emigrate to Canada and are the parents of Wilford, Ida and Nora? the 1841 Census has Edward senior's occupation as 'Army Service' so it may be possible to find some service records for this family. -- John Lewis Debian Linux with Geneweb genealogy application

John, I have been 'sleuthing' in FreeBMD and have found a Kingsclere death registration 2Q 1862 for an Edward BULKLEY. Any trace of a burial in the parish? Every record I have found uses that spelling for the Kingsclere Woodlands family + connections. Dorothy J.

Hi Listers, In case there is anyone interested in the descendants of Joel & Mercy Hutchins I have made contact with a 4th cousin who has passed me his family line from his Grandfather Albert Walter Hutchins who settled in what is now Cumbria The details can be viewed from either mine or John's Kingsclere website. For those of you who like me, trace twigs of twigs my site has some "not applicable to Kingsclere" information as well. Bob Bob Hutchins Email: [email protected] Website & Genealogy Database www.bobhutchins.me.uk

It appears all those grandchildren were the children of Thomas Alfred BULKLEY and Annette, shared between their MAGUIRE grandparents and Uncle Edward BULKLEY in 1881. The IGI gives that parentage for the girls born in British Columbia who, with Wilford W. aged 6, are with Edward in 1881 at Woodland Vicarage, Kingsclere, and the two eldest girls, born India, were with the MAGUIRES at The Vale, Chelsea. Dorothy J.

Thanks, Barbara. I extracted the issue of Daniel & Sarah HISCOCK from the Kingsclere PRs at the outset of my research but it's not so easy into the 20th Century with all the variant surnames HISCOCK/HITCHCOCK/HEDGECOCK etc having converged into HISCOCK! I just wish I could make contact with any of Daniel & Sarah's descendants who remained 'local'. I am sure there would be much hearsay and memorabilia of interest to me. I've recently obtained notes made by West Sussex Record Office staff of reminiscences of Nora Emily May SPARKES [nee HISCOCK], the second nonagenarian in the family [following Jane FISHER], but sadly there is little mention of family and what there is has been distorted in the passage of time. However, she named her parents Sally HISCOCK and "Fiddler" Daniel, so it seems we had a musician in the family. Shame it never passed down ..... Kind regards.

The Times 25 June 1901 reports the death at Winchester, on 22nd June, of Edward Bulkley aged 67, of pneumonia after a very short illness. The notice mentions his 38 years as Vicar of Kingsclere, Woodlands. On 10 October 1908 there is a report of the death on the 9th of Wilhelmina aged 69, daughter of Lieut-Col. Richard BULKLEY of Bombay Army. However, this marriage looks a 'gem' with its family connections: The Times 17 Aug 1867 On the 15th inst,at St Luke's Chelsea, by the Rev Edward BULKLEY, M.A., incumbent of Kingsclere, Woodlands .......Thomas Alfred BULKLEY, J.P., civil engineer of Bombay, to Annette Barton, eldest daughter of THOMAS MAGUIRE, Esq., The Vale, Chelsea.
