Hello Dennis, Settlement Certificates, not everyone is registered as having a these Settlement Certificate, the HOLLEY family came from Wilton by Salisbury and they are not on the Settlement Certificate list, Joseph MILES and Martha BRIDGMAN came from Sidmonton to live in Kingsclere, they are not on the list. | Burial dates required; | William EDWARDS Died 6 October 1900 at Wolverton aged 83. | Wife Joanna/Johanna EDWARDS Died 22 May 1903 at Northcroft Lane, Newbury aged 84. You could telephone the Newbury Cemeteries usually under one telephone number and ask them to do a look up for you, as you know the dates of death, or write to them, most Cemeteries are very helpful and may send you more details than you have asked for. Sorry I cannot look up the telephone number for you, they are not in my Telephone Book. > A member of staff checked the R.O. catalogue of Parish Overseers' papers for the parish >of Chedworth [P77] but the only reference to a William MILES was in the miscellaneous >settlement papers [P77a OV 3/5/2/3]. At least you have checked and done your best, we will keep looking, you never know in genealogy, we may find the information yet Regards Barbara Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants, UK BarbaraMallyon@lewmal.co.uk | ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denis Hamilton" <Denis.R.Hamilton@btinternet.com> To: <ENG-HAMPSHIRE-KINGSCLERE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2003 11:24 AM Subject: Edwards & Miles | Look up Barbara & a note for Jenny. | | Burial dates required; | William EDWARDS Died 6 October 1900 at Wolverton aged 83. | Wife Joanna/Johanna EDWARDS Died 22 May 1903 at Northcroft Lane, Newbury aged 84. | | Cannot find either Buried in Kingsclere but guess William was buried in Wolverton as he lived there. But was Joanna buried with him? - she appears to have been living with her married daughter Sarah Ann DENNIS who was a Temperance Hall Caretaker in Newbury and probably had her mother buried there. | | With regards to the MILES family and Chedworth connection, I did write to Hampshire R.O. last year re Removal or Settlement Certificates for both William's and they could find nothing [Barbara now confirmed] and this week received a letter from the Gloucestshire R.O. and this is what they said: | | A member of staff checked the R.O. catalogue of Parish Overseers' papers for the parish of Chedworth [P77] but the only reference to a William MILES was in the miscellaneous settlement papers [P77a OV 3/5/2/3]. This transcript contained the following information: | | 12 August 1767 | Warrant to apprehend Mathew JOCHAM and William MILES of Chedworth, labourers as having deserted their families. | | No other information is given in the document. As William and Hannah's eldest son William would have only been 14 years old in 1767 and probably would not have had a family, this document no doubt refers to William MILES Senior, although the possibility exists that it might refer to a different William MILES altogether. | | I hope this information is of use and please contact me if I can be of further assistance. | | Signed pp John PUTLEY / Mr. P.R. Evans, Archivest [Searchroom]. | | NOTE:- This info cost me nothing and I am very impressed with the response to my letter, full marks Gloucestershire R.O. | | Denis [from an overcast Eastbourne] | | | ============================== | To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: | http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 |
