A 12GGA, Alice, is leaving various items to her children in 1588 and specifies pairs of 'hempton shetes, hurden shetes and flaxen shetes'. A variety of these is bequeathed to sons and daughters (along with a best and a second best feather bedde). Can somebody please explain the difference, please? I take it to mean that the flaxen ones are the best quality, the 'hempton' ones possibly less special and the hurden ('to harden') ones pretty grim. What do you think? BTW, if anyone is researching these names, I'd be delighted to hear from them:- YARNOLD, STOKES (four lines), NOTT, WOODWARD, LINTON also JONES and EVANS, although I need to boost my strength for those!!!

Thank you everyone for your help. The idea of a boat up the Severn seems plausible as a look in Gloucestershire shows far more incidences of the name.

Hi Mark You wrote: "Has anyone come across the surname Lewin in Worcestershire, .....................I can't find a male Lewin marriage in Worcestershire." It's possible to show all the Lewin "Events" listed for any county in the IGI. At the search page simply enter the surname, region, country and county details and hit the search button. DON'T stipulate any other parameters. If you do this with LEWINs in Worcestershire you should obtain 17 entries, including 3 male marriages. Unfortunately none of them are early enough to provide parents for your Susannah. This technique works well for unusual names. Peter

Hi Mark, There's a great likelihood here that at least one of your couple was involved in Inland Navigation, either as Boater or Canal-Builder. Bewdley (a "Chapelry" of the Parish of Ribbesford, despite being a Parliamentary Borough) was a major Port on the River Severn at the time. There was a great influx of Navvies from all over the country. Wolverley is on the Staffs & Worcs Canal (which joins the Severn at Stourport - which rapidly overtook Bewdley as the main local Port) and only a few miles from the river junction. The Canal was started in 1768 at Stourport, and fully opened in 1772, but was well past Wolverley in 1771. And if Susannah's association with Bewdley comes from the Marriage Register, it's no certainty that she'd been born there - merely being "normally resident2 for about a month before the wedding.

Hello, I am trying to trace the family of James Hatton who in the census post his marriage in 1856 was shown as born in either Abbots Morton or Pershore. There is an entry in IGI of a baptism at Abbots Morton, 10/8/1835, to John and Elizabeth Hatton (no reference or other details are shown). Certainly nobody matching those birth details is shown in the 1841 or 1851 census. There is however a family at Bidford (just across the border) which contains a James Hatton who matches baptism of him and siblings in Bidford (batch C039871) and is shown in the 1841 and 1851 census, parents again John and Elizabeth (the father had died before 1851). I wonder if SKS has access to Abbots Morton baptisms and could confirm an entry. I suspect that if these were the same family that the Abbots Morton baptism may have been a private one and confirmed publicly 1 month later at Bidford. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Stephen, Just picked up on this thread when I saw Gus's comment on a Mormon connection. The MAISEY family emigrated in 1856 on the ship HORIZON. I have the full details, passenger list, diary notes etc from the voyage. The family comprised Daniel, Rebecca and children Silas, George and Rebecca. They joined the Edward Martin Handcart Company along with more than 500 others and headed West arriving Salt Lake City 30 November 1856. (Daniel died on the way as previously mentioned) Let me know if you want these details ... and more.

Hi I'm trying to trace information about my great grandfather - Horace BAILEY. He was born in 1898, Birmingham, Warwickshire. But owing to various reasons, his birth was never registered. He had a brother (John/Jack), sister (Winifred) and younger half brother who was quite a bit younger. When Horace, Jack and Winifred were quite young, their mother died and they were sent to live an 'Aunty Annie' prior to being sent to a school in Malvern for the children of serving military personnel, because their father was in the military (not sure how/where). Is there anyway of looking at the school records of the early 1900's to see if this is true and to give me a clue on who the mother of Horace, Jack and Winifred is and so on. Roz ps i have already checked with Malvern College and they didn't go there

Thank you for info. I have established that George Bishop born in Hanbury, Worcestershire (1826) migrated over to Herefordshire and married Jane Simmons/Jane Symonds born 1832/3 daughter of John Simmons/Symonds of Dymock born in 1780 or so (60 in 1841 census and his wife was Sarah Bryan (though in all probability illegitimate daughter of Mary Farmer of Berrow, Worcs. John (X) Simmonds of this Parish batchelor and Sarah (X) Farmer of this Parish were married in this Church by Banns with Consent of Parents in the presence of Sarah (X) Cooke & David (X) Bryan. from William Good transcriptions Bromsberrow I also know that through the Maisey family there were strong Mormon connections. Rebecca and Hannah, Jane's sisters both migrated. There was a chapel nearby: from BBC.co.uk Gadfield Elm chapel was built by the United Brethren in 1836 on land that was bought for £25, and it served as a centre for the rapidly growing congregation of Mormons in the early 1840's. Three Apostles of the Church of Latter-day Saints (Mormons or LDS) travelled from their headquarters in Nauvoo, Illinois to the two counties to teach the local people the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the first nine months 1,800 people were converted, including almost the entire membership of a local Christian group, known as the United Brethren. Between 1840 and 1842 a number of prominent LDS church leaders preached here including Brigham Young and Wilford Woodruff, who later became the second and fourth Presidents of the church. Most of the converts then left their homes and sailed across the Atlantic to gather in Nauvoo, and the Gadfield Elm chapel fell into ruin. Years later, local church members bought the derelict chapel, restored it, and it was given to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in May 2004. Today Gadfield Elm is the oldest Mormon chapel in the world, and is a lasting memorial to the United Brethren. It's now run mainly as a museum and visitor centre, but services are still held there occasionally. Gadfield Elm chapel is usually staffed at the following times: Wednesday 11am till 3pm Friday 11am till 5pm Saturday 11am till 5pm Sunday 2pm till 5pm Visitors are welcome, admission is free, and you can discover the many stories of people who once lived and worshipped there before they left for a new life in North America. You will find Gadfield Elm chapel signposted on the road between Pendock and Staunton. I doubt however if the Bishops were converted to Mormonism, I have never heard my late grandfather Alfred Edward Bishop (1901) mention it.

Dear List, .. I am interested in finding out the smallest amount of information regarding the Harrison family Butcher Shop in Kidderminster at least from about 1830 right through to maybe the 1920's. Three generations, Gt Gt Gt Grandfather Frederick Harrison the High St, Kidderminster, Gt Gt Grandfather Frederick Harrison of 2 Worcester St, then Gt Grandfather Charles Edward Harrison of 74 Bewdley St. Finally Grandfather Herbert Huntley Harrison married Nellie Ann Miller, the daughter of local Superintendent of Police Benjamin Miller. It would be great to find out local Harrison's that maybe connected to this family line, or have knowledge of the Butcher business they ran etc. How do I contact a local newspaper to search for obituaries.

Hi Stephen, Further to my last, *IF* the Jane SYMMONDS entries in the 1841 and 1851 actually DO relate to "your" Jane BISHOP, you should find a reasonable amount of information about her parents on Ancestral File. For her sister Rebekah/Rebecca MAISEY was an early member of the LDS. (Daniel MAISEY died in November 1856 "On Trail, Sweet Water, Wyoming, Unmarked Grave".) They will, of course, have to be confirmed - and it would seem that Jane wasn't baptised Church of England.

Hello again Stephen, While George is clearly shown as being married to a Jane in both the 1881 and 1871 Censuses - I can't find either of them in the 1861 - how do you know her "maiden name" was SIMMONS? Do you have a birth Certificate of any of their children? Or even if she was born in WOR? [Her birthplace was given as WOR, Berrow in 1881, and "WOR", Bromsberrow - which is actually in GLS - in 1871.] In 1851 George was a childless widower in Cradley, HEF - there is always the possibility that Jane could have been a widow. The oldest child named in 1871 was a George (presumably their(?) first son, born Mathon, WOR, c. 1854 - almost-certainly registered 1853 Dec ¼, Ledbury, 6a 352) which would imply that they were likely to've married "around" that date. Unfortunately there's no George BISHOP on FreeBMD marrying anywhere in the vicinity at around that sort of time. The closest (out of the 108 Geo BISHOPs marrying 1851-61) was one in 1858 Dec ¼ at Worcester, 6c 414, who MIGHT have married a *MARY* SIMMONS (or an Emily WAGSTAFF) :-( I think you may need to buy George Jrs birth certificate...... But you are requesting details of Jane in 1851 and 1841.... This could well be her in 1851..... HO107/2043/328/55 Rye Street, Berrow, WOR Daniel MAISEY, Head, M, 32, M, Mason, GLS, Bromsberrow Rebekah MAISEY, Wife, M, 29, F, Gloveing [sic], GLS, Bromsberrow Silas MAISEY, Son, -, 7(mos?), M, -, WOR, Berrow Jane SYMMONDS, SiL, U, 18, F, Servant, GLS, Bromsberrow And in 1841...

Hi Jason My first port of call would be http://www.historicaldirectories.org/ - online trade directories, fully searchable. It should clarify the existance and location of the shop. It should also indicate whether there were any other butchers in the area or whether yours had the monopoly. Once you have the exact name of the business, you could try http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/ for details of any mergers or liquidation. I found a piece from when my ancestor split the business into two and the partners continued as separate enterprises. Maybe somone with local knowledge can advise about local newsapers for obituaries.
