Roger you mention that one of the censuses it says Annie was born Swindon. There is a Wroughton in Wiltshire which is part of Swindon. It may be worth checking out. Incidentally it is prounounced roarton which if you say it isn't a million miles from what you wrote. regards Sue

Hello Charani, I am very open minded about a "marriage". However, some of the children listed in the census have the second Christian name Kershaw. i.e. Edith 1874, Ellen 1876, Mary 1881, Charlotte 1883 and John 1886.

Only problem is that she wasn't born in Bradford upon Avon, Wiltshire. She was born in Bradford, Yorkshire! For some reason all the Bradford entries for KERSHAW (and I suspect other surnames as well) have been given the volume number 8 when it should be 23. How it's happened I don't know; it could be an auto completion facility. The images are clear enough.

Hello Readers, I am attempting to trace a birth and then the subsequent marriage of Annie Elizabeth KERSHAW. In the 1881 census (RG11/3469 Folio 86) Annie Elizabeth Pilling (formerly Kershaw) is shown as the wife of John Pilling and they are living at Werneth, Cheshire. However, she is shown as being born in Wiltshire at a town I cannot read. Her age is given as 35 yrs (born c 1846). Her eldest child on the census is Edith 6yrs born Hyde in Cheshire. In the 1891 census (RG/12/2785, Folio 85) she is shown as being 45 years of age born Swindon, Wiltshire. I am attempting to find the birth of Annie Elizabeth Kershaw in Wiltshire and perhaps her marriage c 1872 to John Pilling. Can you assist me? Many thanks Roger

Sorry for the blank email my pinkies got busy. Is that changing of volume number why all the Kershaws I found were born in Yorkshire? But it was odd, in the 1851 Census sample db there was an Ann Kershaw living Chesire, and one guess as to town.

Hi Guys Trying to trace Alice Sutton who married Thomas Burgess at Everleigh in 1711 Hope SKS can help Cheers Cliff Jones

Unfortunately did not get any replies last time I sent this on 17th Oct, so just thought I would have another try. John Herbert, christened in 1792/3 is my gggrandfather and I have managed to get marriage details for some of the family from Phillimore. It would appear as if baptisms are not on the IGI as all of the Castle Eaton entries appear to be Mormon submissions rather than transcripts of the actual records. His parents were Richard Herbert and Betty Cook. Is there some kind person with access to the original parish records who could possibly check for siblings of John please? If the submitted guesses are based on fact, it would appear as if there around a dozen children all together. My own John has been submitted by different guessers as being baptised in January 1792 and January 1793. Unless there was a death in between, I need help in sorting out his d.o.b. please. Thanks if you can possibly help me. Regards Dennis

Hello Eliz This is Edith Annie PIKE born to James (b1864) and Sophia (nee DAY b 1865), one of 3 children. Sophia died in 1891 and James took his sister-in-law Anne or Anna DAY as de facto, I have not found a marriage. They had 9 children. They left for the USA in 1906 leaving behind most of the children. Edith Annie actually went to America in 1908 as a single woman. Her natural brothers remained in Malmesbury, as did almost all of her half siblings as they were mainly married in Malmesbury in the 20's. I guess that she must have married William PASKO in the USA.

Hello Everyone John Palmer, my G-G Grandfather is shown on the Tithe Map for Lacock in 1839 where he is noted as a yeoman. Is that necessarily proof that he was alive in 1839? Could he have died and his widow or other family member continued arm his plot under his name? I have searched for years for the death of this man, whom I believe may have died a few years later. He married in 1813 at Langley Burrell, and two children were born there in 1814 and 1816. A daughter, Harriett, was born in Lacock in 1821. Presumably John Palmer might have lived there from 1821 - 1839. Are there any local records of Lacock that I might be able to search? I would be very grateful for any information that might lead to my ending this 30-year search!
