Hello folks The NWOCP has just completed its fifth piece and hoisted it online at the web site URL in my signature block. In a couple of weeks they will also be on the main Free Census web site on http://freecen.rootsweb.com/ We have completed: RG091276 Malmesbury RG101877 Highworth RG101901 Calne RG101904 Marlborough RG101905 Marlborough All the rest of the Nth Wilts returns for 1841, 61 & 71 are being worked on but more volunteers are always required. If you would like to help out, why not drop me a line? Images of the census returns on disc are supplied plus a spreadsheet. Just do one and I'll be eternally grateful! The project also encompasses the 1891 returns for Nth Wilts. With this we have to work from microfiche. If anyone owning one of these useful devices would like to help out I can supply the necessary microfiche. The aim is quite simple - to transcribe and place online, free-to-view, the census returns for North Wiltshire. Once they are done, no-one need pay to access them ever again. And of course, you can download them and read them in the bath. Rgds Michael Organiser, Nth Wilts Online Census Project http://www.pope-genealogy.me.uk/nwocp.htm

Hello Mike, Surname spellings, I have the surname WERRELL in my family tree spelt 29 different ways in baptisms/ marriage and burial registers, my people couldn't read or write so the vicar etc. wrote it as they heard it, even my 2 x grt. grandfather Thomas MEADS when he married in 1806 is in the parish register as Thomas MAIDON.

I wondered if Malmesbury had the equivalent of "Wakes Weeks" in the 1870's? I have come across one birth in a family of Malmesbury folk that occurred in the Manchester area. I know of no reason for the family to be there. Would welcome any comments. TIA Mike

The 1841 Corsham, Wiltshire census lists Roger MILLS, age 25, living at the home of William TALBOT age 55, with his wife Phillis age 50, daughter Susanna age 25, daughter Sophia age 15, and Roger & Susanna's baby, Jane Mills age 6. Corsham, from what I can see of these maps, doesn't appear to be that far away from Bletchingley.

When someone lists their birthplace as "out of county, how do you know where to go from there??? I would really appreciate any help, insight or suggestions on where to look next. I've been doing research for quite a few years, but I'm at a loss on this one. Perhaps some kind lister with some knowledge of the local history can shed some light on this for me.

Hello Sherry The well-known Box tunnel on the line between London and Bristol is near Corsham. The tunnel was finished in June 1841 (the month in which the census was taken). Perhaps your family was invloved in the building of it and moved away when their involvement was ended.

Hello All, It has been a few years since I have subscribed and posted on this list, but have new information to add. My GG Grandfather, Charles Stuart is found living with his family in the 1851 Census for Trowbridge, Wiltshire: 1840 549 010 Mortimer St Stuart Charles hd m 33 Wool Stapler HAM Southampton 1840 549 010 Mortimer St Stuart Mary Ann WI M 34 Dress Maker WIL Wil 1840 549 010 Motimer St Stuart Ann DA U 12 Scholar WIL Wilton 1840 549 010 Mortimer St Stuart George SO U 9 Scholar LND 1840 549 010 Mortimer St Stuart Charles SO 7 Scholar MDX Hounslow We now have a marriage certificate for Charles & Mary Ann and now know that Mary Ann's maiden name was Nash, daughter of William Nash, Occupation Laborer, and Charles' fathers name was George Stewart, occupation woolsorter. The witnesses are Sarah Stewart, relationship unknown and a George David or Davidson, again relationship if any unknown. The other 2 names are illegible. They were married in the Parish of Fisherton Anger, Wiltshire, February 14, 1838. Mary Ann Nash Stuart latter married Nathaniel Bamford in Wilshire and later moved to Gloucestershire. My GG Grandfather Charles married Jane Berryman and immigrated to the United States in 1883, his sister Ann married Alfred Fuller and according to our family history, his brother George and family immigrated to New Zealand. We always thought their last name was spelled STUART, but now that we have a marriage certificate they spelled it STEWART, so must have used the spelling interchangeably. Can anybody connect to this family or have any information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Bonnie James North Platte, NE USA

Harry wrote, <"Further to my previous you appear to have two Jane Mills, one age 6 in 1841 > and one born in 1842. Any record of Jane age 6 death?> Hi Harry. Good catch! Yes, there is a problem with the ages, but having looked high and low for Jane Talbot Mills with no luck for several years, I feel almost certain the 1841 Corsham entry is them. You have to admit - it's a great combination. (1) you have Roger Mills (2) you have Susannah Talbot, (3) a young daughter named Jane, and (4) which I was absolutely not counting on - the grandparents - William and Phillis Talbot! Jane Talbot Mills' death certificate actually says she was born 26 Oct 1837 - so I'm not sure why this Jane is listed as age 6 in the 1841 census. Maybe she was 6 months old and the census taker wrote it as 6 years???? I don't know, but I have sent away for the Espom birth record (found in the Oct 1837 quarter on 1837online for Jane MILLS b. Epsom, Surrey Vol.4 p..63) so maybe I'll know more after I receive that. Thanks again Harry. Keep up the good work. Sherry

Thanks Harry. It didn't look that far on the map, so I really appreciate your help. 100 miles would be a bit far to travel for work. A while back, a kind lister found what I think might be the death record for Roger Mills, December quarter 1846, District of Dewsbury, vol.22, page 39 and so now I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail any day. If it is his death record, I think I'll then be able to persue a marriage lead for his wife Susannah - under the name Erving, with the little Mills children in the household. But for now, I haven't been able to find William TALBOT (age 55 in 1841 Corsham, Wiltshire census) and his wife Phillis, age 50 in 1841 (but looks like age 60) listed in any of the 1851 censuses. And without a birth county, I'm at a loss as to where I should look. If anyone has time to take a look for them on the 1851, I'd really appreciate it. Or...if anyone happens to spot a death record for him, I'd be happy with that as well. Thanks again for all the help, Sherry Harry wrote, <Bletchingley is a good 100 miles from Corsham and not on a direct route.

Corsham, from what I can see of these maps, doesn't appear to be that far away from Bletchingley. HOWEVER, William TALBOT's place of birth is also listed as "out of county", so I'm really at a loss as to where these families were really from.

Wheelright is making wheels <G> simple <G> and your Hardings interest me much since my Lewis married a Harding who was born 1785 in Malmesbury (marriage record says) BUT she is connected to Charlton too. Charlton isn't too far from Malmesbury it that helps. I will look for a map and give you the URL. My Elizabeth who married James Lewis is daughter of George Harding b 18 Feb 1762 Garston, near Malmesbury, England Year of Registration: 1840 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Malmesbury County: Gloucestershire, Wiltshire Volume: 8 Page: 249 (click to see others on page) ----- Original Message ----- From: <keholtrdh@hotmail.com> To: <ENG-WILTSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 4:31 PM Subject: [ENG-WIL] Harding Family | This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. | | Surnames: Harding | Classification: Query | | Message Board URL: | | http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EUC.2ACI/3133 | | Message Board Post: | | I am searching for the family of William Harding <1784> born in Crudwell, Wiltshire. I have listed in the 1841 census of Rodmarton, Glos. He is married to a woman named Mary from Cirencester, Glos. The census indicates all the children were born in Glos. In the same 1841 census of Rodmarton is a William Harding with a son Thomas, also not born in Glos. In a 1851 census in Rodmarton Richard Harding is listed as a widower and was born in Crudwell. Living with him are Thomas and Francis and their place of birth is listed as Charlton and all three are listed as 'wheelright'. Not sure what that is, but assume it has to do with a boat and do not know where Charlton is. | | I am thinking William and Richard are brothers. Does anyone have a connection?
