Hi Cathy It is strange that I haven't seen a Price/Preece query for ages, and then I have had three in two weeks! I'd be interested in seeing when you think the name changed, for example, when did Martha marry, what name was that under etc. In the meantime, I can shed some light on those you have spotted in the census, and this might help :- First of all, a burial for a Thomas Preece - BURIAL ENTRY Date :- 16/07/1839 Place :- NORTON CANON ST NICHOLAS HEF Name :- THOMAS PREECE Age :- 41 Address :- PIG ST Occupation :- This lead me to think this could well be his baptism and parents marriage - BAPTISM ENTRY Date :- 03/11/1799 Place :- NORTON CANON HEF Address:- Name :- THOMAS PREECE Mother:- FRANCES Father:- WILLIAM Parents Marriage :- 23/02/1789 at SHOBDON,HEF - WILLIAM PREECE And FRANCES WALL MARRIAGE ENTRY Date :- 23/02/1789 Place :- SHOBDON HEF Name Status Age Address Occupation Father Fathers Occupation WILLIAM PREECE FRANCES WALL Children of this marriage :- JOHN Bapt:- 04/10/1789 SHOBDON HEF MARY Bapt:- 01/05/1791 SHOBDON HEF EDWARD Bapt:- 20/01/1793 SHOBDON HEF FRANCES Bapt:- 21/05/1797 NORTON CANON HEF THOMAS Bapt:- 03/11/1799 NORTON CANON HEF ANN Bapt:- 01/05/1803 NORTON CANON HEF EDWARD Bapt:- 18/05/1806 NORTON CANON HEF JAMES Bapt:- 29/01/1809 NORTON CANON HEF SAMUEL Bapt:- 20/05/1811 NORTON CANON HEF These entries of course include the James you had already spotted, as a Sawyer, and here he is in 1841 - CENSUS ENTRY Year :- 1841 Place :- NORTON CANON HEF Address:- PARKS PRO Reference :- Name Age Occupation Born in this County?

What can cause problems in the Linton records is that in the 19th century, the adjacent area of Gorsley, a very rough area of land and people and known as"Heathens" Heath, was made into a parish of its own. Up till then Gorsley inhabitants had to go to Linton, Newent or Aston Ingham, if they were at the Cliffords Mesne end. To admit to being born in Gorsley was not a good thing, you tended to lose out when applying for a job! My grandfather (I can't find his christening either in 1881) and most of his siblings were born at the Steelworks farm in Gorsley, and on the censuses they are entered as being born in Linton- they never struck me as social climbers! Also Gorsley had then as now, a very active Baptist community. Sylvia I will wire up the old computer in the morning and look for your Margaret Williams. Roger Bailey

Hi Sandra >>In 1861 RG9/4226/54/7&8 she is listed as being born at St Luke's Middlesex (which I think is questionable given the "born in county" of the 1841 Census)<< Looking at the 1841 census image it has "No" for 'Born in County' for the Celia WATKINS living in Eardisley..... Polly ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Lewis" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 02, 2006 1:40 AM Subject: [HEF] WATKINS/TOLLY of Clifford I'm looking for some help with a bit of a mystery. My 4xG Grandfather Thomas Bevan WATKINS's eldest daughter Celia was born circa 1837 (probably in Eardisley). She was not with her parents and siblings on the night of the 1851 Census, and cannot be found elsewhere in the 1851 Census. In 1861 RG9/4226/54/7&8 she is listed as being born at St Luke's Middlesex (which I think is questionable given the "born in county" of the 1841 Census), and has a son George WATKINS baptized 11 Jul 1860 in Clifford. She married John TOLLY 4 Jun 1861, and had a son John baptized 24 Aug 1862 in Clifford, then she and John jnr just disappear. Her husband had remarried by the 1871 Census. Her son George was living with his aunt (Celia's sister Sarah MOORE) in Birmingham and appears as George Watkins MOORE on the 1871 Census RG10/3096/37/11. I can't find George in 1881. There does not appear to be a death of Celia or her son John, (checked for Celia/Cecelia Tolly, Tolley, Tollie, Tully, Jolly, and Jollie). It seems unlikely that she would emigrate without her husband and elder son. Divorce also seems unlikely due to the cost at that time. I know that the marriage certificate for John TOLLY's 2nd marriage would indicate if he was a widower, but how reliable is that? - was it checked in those days, or just accepted as fact when stated? Can anyone suggest where else I should look to find what became of Celia?

Hi Connie Yes you are on the right track with Linton near Ross. But what are the films that you mention? Are they the BTs or the PRs? As I said in a previous message, many gaps in the former. Also not everyone was baptised at the parish church, by the 19th century many people were non-conformists and did not have their children baptised there. So they may not appear in the parish registers. Also are you certain you are looking for a Mary JAMES? As I said her birth surname may be different to the one she married with - you need her marriage certificate to establish that.

Hi Connie and Roger Having checked the census for the family that you gave the details of Mary consistently gives her birthplace as Linton, and John as Kempley. As they are living in Linton 1851, 1861 and 1871, it seems that's where she was born! Roger their children seem to be (from the census returns) - with the GRO references from FreeBMD given where they are on it, although it is VERY incomplete still for this period: Jane born about 1848 Kempley Births Dec 1848 DREW Jane Newent 11 360 Lydia Ellen bc 1850 Linton Mary bc 1852 Linton Births Sep 1852 DREW Mary Newent 6a 188 Ros.... bc 1854 Benjamin John bc 1856 Linton William bc 1857 Linton Martha Matilda bc 1859 Linton Births Dec 1860 DREW Martha Matilda Newent 6a 192 Selina bc 1861 Linton Elizabeth F bc 1870 Linton Births Sep 1870 DREW Elizabeth Frances Newent 6a 243 Ernest bc 1872 Linton Births Jun 1873 DREW Ernest Newent 6a 266 Note that Linton was in the Newent RD until 1895 when it was transferred to Ross RD. By 1881 they have moved over the border and are living at Oxenhall, GLS, and by 1891 they are living in Dymock, next door to one of my cousins Naomi LOAD! By 1901 they are back in HEF at Much Marcle. Their marriage is on FreeBMD: Marriages Sep 1848 DREW John Newent 11 419 JAMES Mary Newent 11 419 But if you do not already have this marriage certificate you need to get it before trying to find Mary's baptism, as it is quite possible that she was married under a different surname (eg if she was a widow, or her mother had remarried). So little hope of finding Mary in the Bromyard Linton I fear! Hope Roger can come up with something to help.

Wills Beneficiaries Salisbury Diocese The copyright for this database has been assigned to the Society of Genealogists with effect from the 1st April and the information cannot continue to be provided. The index entries will be removed at the next data update.

Hi Connie As far as I am aware the only Bromyard records on the IGI are (1) patron submissions and (2) the Non Conformist Chapel there. The full parish registers are DEFINITELY not on there (and neither are any other HEF parish registers, the parishes which are there are taken from the Bishops Transcripts with very many missing years). And as Bromyard was a market town comprising of three townships the parish registers contain a LOT of entries. So again, if you let me have the details I will check on Monday when I am going to the Local History Centre teaching. It won't take me long as we have an index to the PRs. This also applies to the original enquiry about the birth in Linton - which I intended to check, but now seem to have mislaid!

Polly and Steve, here is my DREW family from Linton (near Ross or part of Bromyard??) John DREW (b. Kempley?) married Mary JAMES in Kempley, Glos. Known children are Elizabeth, Rose (Rosanna, Rosina, Annie Rosina?), Selina (Salina?), Mary (Mary Ann?), Emily, Ernest. This information came from a cousin, descendant of Rose in England, who otherwise is not involved in family history. I am pretty sure I have found the family on most censuses through 1891, in various parts of Glos and Herefordshire, with a couple of additional children, but have had little luck with parish records. Most children say born "Linton" on census. Most do not seem to be in free BMD. Mary (Ann?) DREW, b. about 1852, emigrated to western Massachusetts and married my ggrandfather Charles NELMES in 1873 in Springfield, MA. Charles said he was from Sharpness, but I am pretty sure he was the Charles baptised in 1846 or so in Abenhall and there are many Nelmeses in the Abenhall, Mitcheldean, Shapridge area censuses. He was in Springfield by 1870/71. I have looked at the Linton near Ross parish registers on film without finding her or any of her siblings. I'd appreciate your taking a look, but will probably also go ahead and order the Bromyard films based on the info you've both given me. Connie Nelmes Beattie
