Hi Everyone, My surname interest in Wiltshire is CROSS. In the 1851 census, the following appear at No. 1 Ralph Cottages, Camden Town, St Pancras, London, Middlesex: Joseph CROSS Head Mar 37 Brickfield Lab born in Wiltshire Harriet CROSS Wife Mar 29 born in Wiltshire James CROSS Son 12 born in Wiltshire George CROSS Son 8 born in Kensington Charlotte CROSS Dau 1 born in Kensington I think I have found an appropriate marriage for Joseph and Harriet in 1838 Chippenham, Wilts for Joseph Greenway CROSS and Harriet Ann WILKINS. Children James and George appear to have been baptised in Chippenham. I found a baptism for Joseph Greenway CROSS in 1812 Tisbury (and not in 1814 or 1815 like the census implies) on the LDS website. The parents are James and Harriet CROSS. I then found a baptism for James CROSS in 1785 Tisbury whose parents are James and Sarah CROSS. Any help would be greatly apprreciated.

He was not in Devizes in the directory, Coldharbour isn't listed and only one example of the name Steeple Ashton. Which may lead to the idea he was a farmer by 1830 and they aren't listed in these directories.

Hi I am from Australia and looking for anyone who is researching the name of Reynolds. I am after a John Joseph Reynolds who arrived in sydney in 1832 aboard the HMS Challenger. He was discharged at Sydney, he was in the army as a company of soldiers were on board. He was from somewhere probably around the Swindon area and not to far from Bristol. Any information or ideas on where to find details, most appreciated Louise

It also seems that a lot of the men stayed there to whereas John returned to the North East before heading back off on further travels throughout England a Scotland. Kindest Regards Brian

Surnames: Harrison Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EUC.2ACI/3175.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Thanks for that, although I was looking for something a little more specific. Was there a company which actually started at this time; a company that modernised; or a new steel works openned. So far each place I have tracked John too there has been one of the above things happenning. I am just curious if the same is happenning here. John was at the fore front of industry at the time. He was working at the Bedlington Iron Works, Northumberland when the first fluid steel was ever produced. This revolutionised the railways and the ability to lay safer and faster track as well as nemerous other aspects. Also at the same time in the same area the Bedlington Engine Works were making major break throughs with Railway Engine design, partly to do with the Stephenson brothers and the Chairman of the Bedlington Steel Co. I like to understand and trace my family throughout their lives and would just like to have an idea of why John ended up in Swindon at this time. I think something Railway related is quite possible. Was fluid steel introduced to Swindon about this time? Was there a new Furnace built? I look forward hearing from all you local historians out there and wait with anticipation. Kindest Regards Brian

Brian, The GWR Swindon Railway Works was pretty well self-contained. Everything for locomotive etc manufacture was produced there. So there would certainly have been work for a furnaceman.

Dorothy Sorry, cannot help you re the Church PR's, but, if you are curious as the a Christian name and sex of an ancestor, bear in mind that some Christian names could be given to male or female, I have just verified that a many 'great' Grandmother was given the name of Denis, not dennis or Denise but "Denis".

Hi Wens, it's well worth noting that Heytesbury, Wilts. MOODY's are also very likely linked to those in Frome, being only 10 miles away. There was a Charles in Frome a little older than yours, but I'm not sure if he's relevant if you already have your Charles elsewhere in the 1841 census, except possibly to exclude him in later marriages etc. From the 1841 census as follows: Hillikars Grave //James MOODY 57 Farmer N Sarah 58 N Ann 25 Y Charles 15 Y Hillkars Grave is off Nunney Rd. Most MOODY's in Frome are fairly isolated small familes or single people, which I would think consistent with them originating somewhere else nearby. There's not large concentrations of them as you'd expect of an old local family. I'm happy to copy and paste all of them from the 1841 census for you if you'd like them. There are also records of an older Charles who may tie in somewhere, maybe grandad? 1841 census for Beckington 10/11 Frome Road //Elizabeth MOODY 70 Ind Yes /Caroline WILCOX 13 F Servant Yes do do //Charles MOODY 70 Yeoman No Ezil do 60 No (Note he was NOT born in Somerset). From the PCC will summaries: 5 Apr 1848 Charles MOODY Gentleman of Berkington [sic] Kind regards, Val
