    3. Hi Barbara, Thanks for the info. The second item was new to me and since Sophia Stevens was born Sophia Smith, I am always very interested in any Smith connections since I still trying to sort out all the Smith families in the Kingsclere area. We have now traced Robert Stevens. He was indeed the one you indicated and I expect a fuller account of him will appear on John's website soon. His son calling the home he had built Hurstbourne was a big clue and unlocked the puzzle.

    3. Hello Nigel and John that is absolutely fantastic thank you both very much, I did wonder about Elizabeth Alexander but didn't have any evidence to link it. I had a walk round in Kingsclere a couple of weekends ago and located the old forge in George St which by my reckoning is where the Wheelers and Robert lived in 1841. I also found in the church yard in Ecchinswell a gravestone showing Richard Stevens died Oct 30 1854 aged 77 and his wife Mary died Nov 4 1851 aged 75, on your database you have a Richard baptised 28 mar 1777 same chap maybe. I have not been able to match but also found a John Stevens b July 16 1835 d jan 8 1892 and wife Margaret hard to read but i believe it is d sept 2 1925. also John Richard Stevens d 8 feb 1979, Dorothy May Stevens d 21 apr 1995, husband of the current Mrs Stevens who lives in the village, John 16 7 1938 to 9 5 2006. I have a little bit of work to do now, please let me know if you want photos of the stones once I get some cerificates back I will email you and send you copies if you wish. best regards Ady On 17 May 2010 00:14, Nigel St C Gerdes <nigel.gerdes@milnet.uk.net> wrote: > Ady, > > I think you have a result - see attachment.

Looks like Mary Green could be the sister of Elizabeth Alexander. We now can go for the certificates with strong confidence. I had missed the visitor in the 1851 H/H and had only started thinking about a Stevens = Alexander marriage when I went looking later in the area and spotted a FreeBMD birth for John Alexander Stevens having seen a possible Stevens =Alexander marriage later in 1851 in Andover RD. John Alexander Stevens dies in 1883 St Pancras RD in London with a given age of 25. His father Robert by this stage had remarried to Jane Newby on 02 Oct 1870 at the Parish Church in Poplar. In the 1881 he was living with Jane at Woking, Surrey, as a Grocer and Shoemaker and in the 1891 was a Shoemaker and Grocer still living at Woking. A possible death for him age 88 is 1915 FreeBMD Guildford 4Q 2a 123 and his wife Jane was born ca 1821 in Norfolk, with a father Jonathan Newby who was a Farm Steward, has a possible death of 1894 FreeBMD Guildford 1Q 2a 47. Jane and Robert do not appear to have had any children and John Alexander's brother William Henry b 1854 Hants went on to marry Alice Emma Davey on 04 Aug 1883 at St Peter, West Hackney, Middlesex (Wow - same church as were some of my Gerdes family were baptised at about the same time!). William Henry called his house in the 1901 and 1911 census 'Hurstbourne' which was a very helpful clue but stated on some occasions he was born at North Waltham, Hants but finally stated in the 1911 he had been born near Hurstbourne which is more likely since the FreeBMD looks to be Whitchurch Hants RD for John Alexander Stevens. The family association with North Waltham is not yet resolved. William and Alice Emma had three children Alfred William b ca 1885 Hackney , Ethel M. b ca 1886 Hackney and Violet A. b ca 1890 1 Nightingdale Road, Clapton . The youngest was still with her parents in the 1911 census. A good development for the Stevens tree on the Kingsclere Website and a big thank you to my e-mailer who provided the data for the search for William Henry and his brother John who had proved, to date, hard to trace. Great to see another person reunited with their Kingsclere Family. I will forward this email to her and I expect John you will get a big thank you for spotting the last key piece in the jigsaw which I had overlooked.

Too late at night to start checking for a marriage but will do so tomorrow. Baptism entries have both Emma & Robert born Kingsclere Town but family could have moved to Ecchinswell and both thought they were born there.

    3. Hi List, I am in correspondence with a researcher tracing their Ecchinswell/Kingsclere STEVENS family. In the course of doing census searches I found in the 1881 census at St Giles Reading, Berks at 23 Silver St an unmarried lodger called John STEVENS giving his birth year as 1856 and a birthplace of Kingsclere, Hants. His occupation was Shoeblack. He might be: Birth FreeBMD Whitchurch 1857 1Q 2c 176 STEVENS, John Alexander There is a Robert STEVENS and Elizabeth ALEXANDER on the same page at Marriage FreeBMD Andover 1851 2Q 7 63. If it all matches Robert STEVENS could be Robert STEVENS b 1827 Kingsclere Town baptised 25 Nov 1827 and described on John's website. We do know Robert b 1827 was a shoemaker and that he was at Hurstbourne Tarrant in the 1851 census Can anybody help with a PR baptism or his family, there are no records for this person on John's website? Thanks in advance for any assistance, before having to send for the certificate to investigate. Regards, Nigel

    3. Note: Forwarded as I forgot to post this to the list as well as to John. Postscript I have found the website that gave me the data. There is much more than the last time I looked and I have emailed the keeper with information on James Hussey marrying Emma Kersley. He describes Letitia's parents as Thomas and Mary. The Hampshire marriage index makes their identification as Thomas Prince and Mary Mears who married 12 Dec 1772 Old Basing straight forward. http://homepage.mac.com/g.cheeseman/firstfamilies.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear John and List, I have put some notes in line to reply to John. Hopefully it will help Kersley researchers if they 'google' up the news post.

Dangerous to assume - even the IGI shows another possible Tom, and there might be more. There were many many Kersely families in the area - the marriage cert will help. My understanding is that the 'Tom' Kersley b ca 1828 was Thomas John Kersely born to William and Letitia Kersley and that he married Bridget Buckley 18 Mar 1856 at Ballarat, Victoria, Australia in a C of E church and went on to have 10 children. Thereafter he died 13 Aug 1896 St Arnaud, Victoria, Australian and was buried 16 Aug 1896 in the RC Cem, St Arnaud, Australia. He had been an innkeeper and a miner. I don't have a year of emigration or the circumstances. Perhaps it was the 'Gold Rush'. His brother Robert who was baptised at Mapledurwell 1 3Aug 1834 went to Australia in 1855 and married Catherine Murray on 16 May 1867 at Mudgee, NSW, Australia and had six children before dying 23 March 1915. One of his children was called Edgar Prince Kersley. > > I didn't have Letitia's maiden name as I hadn't found a marriage so > will be interested in knowing that details please Nigel. I don't have a marriage and neither do I have a reason recorded how I arrived at Letitia Prince. (Shame on me - I must try harder with notes and sources. ). I do have a burial for her 25 Nov 1836 at Mapledurwell with a given age of 42 but I have not traced her baptism. I think the marriage came from a website that described the Australians in the next generation. (See above.) Given the proximity to Odiham it is very possible the marriage was not a C of E one since there was a thriving large independent church at Odiham and the family baptisms might be there as well. > > I realised after ordering the Marriage Cert that both Emma's had a > father named William!

I have to admit I was wrong in thinking it was Emma Lawes that married James Hussey, Emma Kersley, widow is to be found in census records from 1851 to 1891, in 1871 she has her daughter Isabel P living with her in Basingstoke, so couldn't possibly be the Emma who married in 1857. I already had the William & Letita Kearsley family in the database as I think it was their son Thomas (Tom) who married Emma Lawes (but I could just as well be wrong on this score also, so must look for a Tom Kersley to be on the safe side). I didn't have Letitia's maiden name as I hadn't found a marriage so will be interested in knowing that details please Nigel.

I had already realized that it will need the marriage certificate to establish for certain who Emma was. I didn't find the second Emma when looking at for Kersley in the the 1851 Census. So I will have another look. I agree with you there is no baptism for an Emma in Mapledurwell and that was one factor which stopped me looking for an Emma Kersley once I'd found the Lawes/Kersley connection. I have now ordered the marriage cert for James & Emma and hope that will sort this out once and for all. -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server

    3. Hi John and list, To take it a bit further........ James Hussey b ca 1815 and his wife Emma are to be found in the 1861 census at Fair Oak, Kingsclere where he is a Baker Master i.e. running his own business. This ties up well with the Kingsclere Woodlands book saying he started the business ca 1860. In the 1861 census Emma gives a birthplace of Mapledurwell, Hants (which is just east of Basingstoke and famous for its watercress beds.) John indicated a widow Emma Ke(a)sley nee Lawes in the 1861 with her parents. Emma gives her birthplace as Basingstoke. Since we have two Emma's in the 1861 it looks to me as if it is another Emma Ke(a)rsley who married James Hussey and not Emma Lawes as a widow Ke(a)rsley. And I think the wife of James Hussey will prove to be Emma Kersley born ca 1822 to William and Letitia Kersley nee Prince. Her father was a baker and grocer and had been baptised at Mapledurwell on 12 May 1793 with a mother Sarah Kersley who was born ca 1773. Now we can see how James Hussey moved from being a woodman to a baker, he may well have learnt the trade from his new father in law and then set up on his own. He might even have met his future wife while supplying wood for burning at the bakery. In the 1851 census William Kersley b ca 1793 was at Monk Sherborne and his daughter Emma was with him.

    3. Whilst looking at the Husseys in Kingsclere I decided to find out who the wife of the James Hussey who founded Hussey's Bakery actually was. 'Kingsclere Woodlands Story' says James Hussey started the business at the age of 45 in about 1960........, he married Emma (nee Kearlsey) from Mapledurham. I could not find any baptism for an Emma Kersley and I think Mapledurham is wrong for birthplace although the 1861 Census has her born Mappeldurham. Later Census have it as Mapledurwell. Marriages Mar 1857: HUSSEY James & Kearsley/Kersley Emma, Southampton 2c 7 So I looked for in Census records for an Emma Kearsley/Kersley and found 1851 Census, Eastrop Lane, Basingstoke: William Lawes, head, M, 55, carpenter, Basingstoke Pamela Lawes, dau, 22, dress maker, Basingstoke Emma Kersley, dau, wid, 26, miliner, Basingstoke Pamela Kersley, gr-dau, 1, -, Basingstoke the child is Births Jun 1850: Kersley Isabel Pamela, Basingstoke 7 56 and this marriage/death to match the census record Marriages Sep 1847: KEARSLEY Tom & LAWES Emma, Basingstoke 7 95 Deaths Dec 1849: Kersley Tom, Basingstoke 7 41 Now for Emma LAWES, there is a baptism entry on 18 Jul 1824 in Basingstoke for Emma, dau of William & Hannah LAWS. There are other baptism entries for children of William & Hannah LAWES. Elizabeth ca 1813, Church Oakley Stephen ca 1817, Cliddesden William ca 1820, Ellisfield George ca 1822, Ellisfield Pamela ca 1829, Basingstoke the birth year of last of these matches that of the 22 year old Pamela in the 1851 Census mentioned earlier, so I think they are all siblings of Emma. Ther is no marriage for William & Hannah in the Hants Marriage Index but this marriage from the IGI fits the age of first child WILLIAM LAWES & HANNAH MARSHMAN, 11 JAN 1813, Thatcham, Berks and the 1861 Census seems to confirm this 1861 Census, London Street, Basingstoke: Emma Kersley, head, wid, 35, milliner & dress maker, Basingstoke // William Laws, head, 64, carpenter & builder, Baughurst Ann -do-, wife, 64, -, Thatcham // the date of the Hussey/Kearsley marriage meant some of the children recorded for James Hussey in the 1861 Census were born before that marriage. So who was their mother, a check in the Bapt Index showed a James with wife Mary Anne having children in Monk Sherborne. KWS says James came from there, and the Marriage Index has this entry: 24 Dec 1835, Hussey James, Spencer Mary Ann, Pamber 1841 Census, Monk Sherborne James Hussey, 25, woodman, Y Mary Hussey, 22, -, Y George Hussey, 5, -, Y Betsy Hussey, 3, -, Y Mary Hussey, 1, -, Y The 1851 Census has wife as Mary Ann, age 32, born Monk Sherborne It seems likely she died as result of birth of the youngest son of this marriage: Births Jun 1853: Hussey John, Basingstoke 2c 144 Deaths Jun 1853: Hussey Mary Ann, Basingstoke 2c 107 I don't have an email address for Gary Cusworth or Roger Dobbs (authors of KWS) but perhaps someone could pass this info on the them for inclusion in a possible revised edition and perhaps the living Husseys would be interested ;-) -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server

Further correspondence has confirmed that the Birth Certificate Ken obtained is for the wrong Elizabeth. It was that of Elizabeth, dau of William Elliott and Harriet Bond of Swan Street, Kingsclere. There is only one Elizabeth Elliott in FreeBMD born in Kingsclere RD 1854-1856 and none born Newbury/Reading areas. It seems likely that Elizabeth's mother was either Hannah or Jane, both daus of Gideon & Hannah Elliott. Jane was still living at home in 1861 when Elizabeth was recorded in household of Gideon & Hannah as a grand-dau age 6. I can find no trace of her after 1861 and no marriages or deaths I can identify as being hers. In 1851 Hannah was a house servant age 19 at Hannington in household of William & Sophia Webb. (William had a 17 year old son William who could be the father!) In 1861 Hannah was in Hammersmith and in 1871 she was in Taplow, Bucks, a servant in both places. I cannot find her after 1871 and like Jane no marriages or deaths. I think the only possible source of a solution to this question are the Tadley Baptism Registers. If anyone is visiting Hants RO in the near future would they take a look at Tadley baptisms around 1855 for an Elizabeth Elliott, please. -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server

    2. Elizabeth Elliott daughter of William & Harriet Bond is linked to my Elliott ancestors. Her father William was the brother of my gggfather John Elliott. I think she died Q3 1877 in Kingsclere RD (2c,127) aged 22. Details of her exact date of birth would be appreciated.

    3. Hi All, Ann Hussey b ca 1758 (described below) was my 5x grandmother. I believe she married Richard Cheeseman on 14 Oct 1790 at Beenham, Berks and their daughter Elizabeth b ca 1793 and baptised 11 May 1793 at St Mary Beenham married Stephen Smith 26 Feb 1810 at Thatcham, Berks. Ann b 1758 and Martha b 1763 were sisters and the parents were John and Sarah Hussey nee Champ who married 20 July 1752 at Bradfield, Berks. They had at least four other siblings. Thank you for sharing the information given below of an additional child in 1789. I shall update my records. I would be very pleased to have further information on Fanny Hussey born ca 1790 since that is all I know about her at the moment. There is another Froud connection Elizabeth Cheeseman's brother Richard baptised 10 April 1791 at Beenham married Hannah Froud on 04 Feb 1821 at Beenham. At the moment I do not know if John and Hannah Froud were close blood relatives.
