Hi, just wondering if anyone has easy access to either Boyds, Gwynne or other Shropshire marriage indexes. I am looking for a marriage of a John Peate (located re. a baptism of their son Andrew at St. Mary's, Shrewsbury 1725) to a Jane about 1720 or so and for his son Andrew who also married a Jane, circa 1755, first child baptised at St. Chad's Shrewsbury 1757. TKI Graham Melbourne Oz

The Spanish for Elizabeth is Isabel. The Queen of Castile and Columbus patron was "Isabel la Católica" (Elizabeth the Catholic), but in English you'll usually see her called Isabella. Saludos, Alejandro Milberg Boston, Mass.

For what it is worth, from Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella "Isabella is a variant of Elizabeth, a feminine given name.". Eleanor Gordon

Hi Barbara, This website gives variants on first names and says that Isobel is a variant of Elizabeth (seems to be a very useful site). http://www.whatsinaname.net/php/search.php?action=search28&search_name=elizabeth If you click on the Isobel link on this page you get all the variant spellings of Isobel that you've found. Did Isobel sign herself as Elizabeth, or is it the vicar/curate writing the name? I have instances of clergymen 'translating' names in the parish registers, either into Latin - Carolus for Charles, or into English - Evan Lewis in a Welsh register became John Lewis for a while until a new curate appeared, and then I was back to Evan again; fortunately for me he was married to Lowry and I could track the baptisms through her name.

Hello Karen, Thank you for responding so quickly -- and with a similar situation. That's helpful! I'd love to hear from any others about experiences with variations in women's given names in records. Besides the usual spelling variants. My Isabel is also Isabelle, Isabella and Isobella is records. Those I understand... it's the change to Eliz. or Elizabeth that is confusing.

Hello Barbara I don't think many people had more than one forename at that time. I think you should first of all search for any possible deaths for Isabel(la) sometime after the birth of her last known child, whether this might have been as a result of a later child birth or just old age. If she died young then there is a good possibility that you need to look for a second marriage for Thomas but if she died in old age then you need to explore why you are finding a name difference. It may just be a clerical error somewhere which could be very difficult to deal with. You should check the Baptism Register for each child and not rely on the IGI because the original register, especially after 1812, may give additional information like the Abode and Occupation of the father so you can try to establish whether you are dealing with the same father. When you find the father's death it would be a good idea to search for a Will. Whilst only a smallish proportion of the population left Wills, if you find one and it is a good one, it could well clear up strange situations like this.

Hi I have a sister to an ancestor in Lancashire during the mid to late 1800's who is listed alternatively as Isabelle and Elizabeth.

Hi Mabel Thanks for Email. Sorry but I cannot find any family connection to my JONES . Quite a coincident that they are living  so close in Coal Pit Lane.  The families  must have known each other very well after living next door to each other for about 30 years. If I do find any more information I will let you know Kind regards.. Dave

Hello, I am familiar -- from my German genealogy -- with women who had two or more given names and used them alternately in different records. My favorite example is Anna Margretha Groth who married John Nicholas Luehr. She was called Anna in some records, Margretha in others, but I finally confirmed these references were all to the same woman, my 2nd great-grandmother.   My question is whether that same situation occurred with women in Shropshire in the 18th and 19th centuries. I have a specific puzzle that I am trying to solve.   Thomas Ebrey married Isabella Gilchrist, daughter of John Gilchrist and Mary Challinar, on 31 Dec 1795 in Prees as shown on an IGI record and my own look at Shropshire microfilm. A number of their children have IGI records for baptisms showing Thomas Ebrey and Isabel or Isabella as parents.   But an apparent son John Gilchrist Ebrey -- seemingly named for his maternal grandfather -- has an IGI record showing his parents as Thomas Ebrey and Eliz. John is known to be the brother of Robert Ebrey, whose parents are shown as Thomas Ebrey and Isabelle, based on John's daughter Jane appearing in the 1861 census as niece to Robert Ebrey, for whom she was keeping house.   There is no IGI record for a marriage of a Thomas Ebrey and Elizabeth in Prees at the right time. Could the Eliz. and Elizabeth entries be errors or alternate given names?   Any and all thoughts are welcome. Thank you.   Barbara Researching Booth, Challinar, Ebrey, Lawton, Palin / Paling, Roden surnames

Hello Pauline I would suggest you start by looking at the Access to Archives (A2A) web site at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ and just do a search for Alveley. This is part of The National Archives. Whilst on the A2A web site the Frequently asked questions link on the right includes a link to The National Register of Archives (NRA) at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/nra Again I would suggest you put Alveley in the Place Name search and see what comes up. These two sources allow you to locate records which are stored away from Shropshire as well as those stored locally.

Hello Everyone For those of you who haven't heard, Google Street View is now on line for the UK at http://maps.google.co.uk/ Just zoom in to your place of choice or use the search function then click and drag the little yellow man from the top of the zoom scale to the point you wish to view. Whilst it might be called Street View it includes much more. The village where I live has about 800 houses and has about 95% coverage - they forgot to go down one small road. I was brought up on a farm in the middle of nowhere and that is included. My wife and grand daughter can be seen approaching my house on the way home from school. Mike Shropshire, UK

Many thanks to Mike and Kathryn for the information on the whereabouts of Coal Pit Lane , Pulverbatch and its name change. I have now been able to locate it on the O/S map. Could well be worth a visit. Regards.. Dave.

And looking at the aerial view of Wrentnall on google maps it seems pretty easy to overlay one on the other and see that there appears to be a considerable amount of victorian property surviving on Newhouse Lane, which is what Coalpit lane is now called. http://www.pulverbatch.org.uk/coalmines.html On 20 Mar 2010, at 21:00, Michael J Hulme wrote: > Hello David > > According to my gazetteer Coalpit Lane was at Wrentnall, Church > Pulverbatch which is about half a mile NNW of Church Pulverbatch. > > If you look at the British History Online web site at > http://www.british-history.ac.uk > then Maps > Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 - Epoch 1 > England - Shropshire > > 040/SE > which hopefully will come up using this link > http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55135&sheetid=7358&ox=4350&oy=2900&zm=2&czm=2&x=610&y=410 > You should find Coalpit Lane in the extreme bottom right hand corner. > > Looking at a modern Ordnance Survey Map you need the road which runs > east from Wrentnall to The Gorse and Moat Farm.

Hello David According to my gazetteer Coalpit Lane was at Wrentnall, Church Pulverbatch which is about half a mile NNW of Church Pulverbatch. If you look at the British History Online web site at http://www.british-history.ac.uk then Maps > Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 - Epoch 1 > England - Shropshire > 040/SE which hopefully will come up using this link http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55135&sheetid=7358&ox=4350&oy=2900&zm=2&czm=2&x=610&y=410 You should find Coalpit Lane in the extreme bottom right hand corner. Looking at a modern Ordnance Survey Map you need the road which runs east from Wrentnall to The Gorse and Moat Farm. Without visiting the site I don't know the age of the present day properties but you probably want to start by looking at the houses at Map Ref: SJ 441 034.
