Dear Listers, My wife has a relation at the end of the 19th century whose job was given as a Commercial clerk. She has an idea that he might have been a bookie or have worked for one. Could the term 'Commercial clerk' have covered this or was it simply a clerk who worked for a company? Any suggestions? Cheers, Mike Holt.

Does anyone have an interest in the name Joseph Carless in Tarrington or Herefordshire in general. The local Tarrington magazine is featuring him in an article, he is named on one of the church bells in Tarrington church. Phil Bufton

Hi Listers, I have added the photographs from the album of Catherine Hancorn 1832 - 1924 to my website. Unfortunately, she did not put any names to the photos, but some were probably friends and as she ran a boarding house, some may be boarders or servants. So please have a look and see if you recognise anyone from your family. The website address is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~roseana/hancorne.htm Also there is a search facility for the whole website , so look for your family names as the Hancorns married into many other families and their details can be seen. Best Wishes, Ros Dunnico.

I am trying to research my husband's BROOM family. Before moving to London they came from Tenbury Wells, Worcs, but there is no sign of GEORGE and MARY BROOM's marriage there. I have bare details of one at Laysters, Hereford in 1773 and at Holy Cross & St. Giles, Shrewsbury in 1776 - if one is correct maybe Mary came from Herefordshire?. Their son JOSEPH born abt 1796 cannot be found in Worcs., so I wondered whether he might have been born in Hereford over the County boundary? I would be most grateful if anybody has come across the family in their research, or indeed, any Brooms. Any information would be most welcome as the dreaded brick wall is in place!! Happy New Year, Isabel.

Try Stanford on Avon, a few miles south of Leicester. David Matthews

Richard Williams was born in Monmouthshire in c 1785, but he married Anne (aka Nancy) Baker in Kempley, Gloucestershire in 1814 and all their children were baptised there. The family did not stay in the village long, all the boys moved away, some to the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, and I haven't been able to trace the girls. I have quite a lot of information to share about this family, and many questions to answer, so I am interested to know if anyone else is researching the Williams family of Kempley. Sara White

More likely to be Stanford-on-Soar, Gazetteer of Great Britain & Ireland - Cassell 1898(Reference #0168) http://www.rod-neep.co.uk/acatalog/Archive_CD_Books_Books_for_all_of_Britain_70.html gives the following details - Stanford-upon-Soar, pa. and vil., S. Notts., separated from Leics. by the Soar. 13 S. of Nottingham ; ac. 1,520 ; soil loam, overlying clay. The Dec. and Perp. church of St. John the Baptist was restored 1894. A number of brasses (some of them of great interest) have been stolen, but there remains a 15th-cent. one of a priest, as well of several marble monuments and other memorials. In the churchyard is a fine old yew. S. was a Roman settlement. S. Park is a seat. pa = parish vil = village ac = acreage Dec = decorated Perp = perpendicular Cheers Guy Sue Waller wrote: > I have an IGI reference to a baptism in Stanford, Leicester.

Hello Sue, Thank you for your information re John Caffull of Mordiford.

Hi Helen and Jane I have been reading your messages re the above surname. If it is any help to either of you I have a couple of occurences in my VERNALL database which may be connected. Jane VERNALL (chr. 1815) at Skelton, Hef. married John CAFFULL (born abt. 1814 Mordiford, Hef.) on 4th August 1836 at Tarrington. Ann VERNALL married George SCAFFOLD of Tarrington on 7th September 1823 at Stoke Edith, Hef. The latter may be another variant. Hope this is of some use.

Hi Everyone, It's that time of year to let you know what my research interests are. My main interest/obsession is with my GOMERY, GUMERY, GUMMERY and variants One-Name Study. Doing a One-Name Study means that I'm interested in any, all and every mention of these surnames anywhere, anytime. If you find a GOMERY, GUMERY, GUMMERY or something that looks like one, I'd be very interested to hear about it. And if you want to learn more about one, I'll do my best to help. My other research interests in our area are WILLIAMS in Walford near Ross on Wye, HEF. My Walford WILLIAMSes married WELLIN / LEWELLYN 1759 (from Bridstow/Peterstow, HEF); MASON 1792 (in Upton Bishop, HEF); GUMERY 1820 (from Woolhope, HEF); MAYO 1826 (from Aston Ingham, HEF); WHITTINGHAM 1830 (from Walford, HEF); then c.1850s LANE, PARTRIDGE, MUTLOW, JONES (from Bridstow, HEF), and NOURSE. All in the Walford area. Happy New Year to everyone.

Hi Helen, I too have CAFFELLE'S in my family one especially my great grandmother Ann CAFFELLE who was born in Fron Hope 1846 to William and Hannah who married in 1837 at Woolhope. I have only researched a little in to this side of my family; having researched my Mother's side and am now into my Father's side where Richard William ROBERTS married the above Ann CAFFELLE in 1868 in Kings Norton, Worcestershire. According to a copy of a will which was amongst my late Grandfather's effects contained a wonderful list of names one or two with addresses in Calgary, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Michigan, plus Ledbury in Herefordshire. Perhaps we could get together to see if there is any connection.

Searching for the baptism entry of John Hill shown in the 1851 census of Martley, Worcestershire as a Farmer aged 67 with 220 acres. He says that he was born in W------ton, Hereford. This seems likely to have been Withington? The only IGI reference is 28th October 1798 and as he would have been born c.1784, this seems unlikely. If there is anyone with access to the parish records of Withington I would appreciate a look up please. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
