Hello Listers, I would love to gain further knowlage of this establishment and welcome any comments. I was trawling through the 1881 census looking for siblings of a Great grandmother and found James HAWKER of Eldersfield: married : patient at Park Street Militia Hospital What intrigues me was there were only two patients however there were two orderlies and the "Head" and his wife, one presumes to look after the two patients. The "Head" a George H Brown was listed as Sergeant of Militia Staff Do I presume that the patients were militry personel? and why such a small hospital? Love your comments Rhonda Bartlett Australia

Hi, I have a great Grandfather Joseph Davis,21 born Eastington. on the 1881 Census he is aboard the HMS Alexandra in a foreign port(as a Stoker) can anyone enlighten me as to how he would have joined the Navy in those days,how long would he have had to serve. by Dec 1883 he was back homegetting married.

Thank you for these suggestions.  My theory is that the portrait at http://www.milesbarton.com/work.htm?ID=67 is not of someone associated with Westbury at all.  Thus I don't think that the background of the picture is Westbury, or for that matter Abenhall near Mitcheldean, where the Colchester family of Westbury Court were living at the date of the picture.  A picture of Newnham church http://www.wishful-thinking.org.uk/genuki/GLS/Newnham/StPeterOldPhoto.html also doesn’t look convincing as the one in the background, unless the steeples were additions new at the time of the post card.   In the light of Marilyn's suggestion, I checked out Painswick. My thoughts are that the picture is of Francis Wemyss (1813-1848) and not Mr Colchester (for whom there is no suitably aged likely candidate). Either Francis, his father or his father in law, lived at Brown's Hill, Painswick, although my source for this is not a primary one.  This would give a reason for including it in the background of the picture.  However, I don't think that the church is St Mary's Painswick which looks like it is the one in the picture in the following link http://www.britainexpress.com/counties/glouces/Painswick_Photos.htm I have searched out a few more churches for the locations mentioned.  The church at Horsley looks like a possibility, but I am not yet convinced. I think that a bit of perseverance on my part on looking at pictures of churches might provide the answer, but not knowing Gloucestershire well does not help.  My instinct is that the part of the background is the Severn estuary, and that this is a tributary flowing into it.  The background is quite likely a composite, but I would expect it to be based on actual places and have a reference to the sitter.

Hi Listers discovered that one of my families actually came from Kempsford in Gloucestershire. Looking for the marriage of a Daniel Pinnell/Pinel/Pennell (sp) to an Elizabeth ? probably around mid 1770 to 1780's. Nothing on the IGI for the marriage. ANy help with the family appreciated many thanks from downunder Patsy

I have PINBNELL's but in 1500's in (Brinkworth?), Wiltshire, so, just a thought that there could be a connection with Wiltshire, which isn't that far away.

Ann, There is one mention of HARVEY in Biglands Memorial Inscriptions of Horsley: On Headstones in Graveyard: Mary, wife of Thomas HARVEY died 8 May 1766, aged 59. Given that Isaac named his first son Thomas, could the above couple be related to him? Have you thought of looking for any wills?? They can often be a mine of information. There is one HARVEY will on The National Archives Documents Online of a John HARVEY, Gentleman, of Horsley dated 1854 - probably too late for you. There are also 4 HARVEY wills on Gloucestershire Archives searchable database (/ww3.gloucestershire.gov.uk/genealogy/Search.aspx), dating between 1710 and 1813, two of whom are weavers so could be relevant to you. An order form can be downloaded online and then sent by post to Gloucestershire Archives. I have used this service extensively and have found it pretty good although it can take up to 28 days to receive the wills. Have you look on A2A website? You might find something relevant there.

Catherine, Could Josiah have been born/baptised a COLEMAN before John & Nancy were married? According to Hugh Wallis's IGI site, there is also a baptism at Longhope of a Samuel BLEWETT on 26 June 1808, father John mother Nancy - just in case you do not already have this info. Have you looked through the actual parish registers of Longhope?? I think that is probably going to have to be your next step as both John & Nancy seem to have come from there and you may find more information looking at the original records. The LDS have filmed the Bishops Transcripts of Longhope 1583-1812 and these can be ordered to view in situ at your nearest Family History Centre if Gloucestershire Archives is not accessible to you. Good luck.

Hello Ann, It is highly likely that the HARVEYs attended Shortwood Baptist Church, Horsley. I have the records but I may not be able to search them because they are on my old computer which has 'died'. I do have CDs of the files but I can't gain access to the data base a present. There are likely to be other people who can help, particularly Liz Jack who has a copy of the files.

In the Horsley Parish records there are several Harveys missing from the 1750-180's .

Can anyone please help me with Isaac's birth/christening place and details further back with his parents etc . If anyone else is researching Harveys would love to hear from you Ann from Leicester Does anyone have access to newspapers from 1766 (Stroud or Gloucester maybe) in the Horsley area as a Jno Harvey killed his wife and committed suicide was buried on the Bath road side out of Horsley . _____________________________________________ Have you considered adding "postems" to "your" events on www.freebmd.org.uk , giving your contact details?

The IGI shows a record for an Isaac born 1748-50 BUT I believe that this is from an entry that I posted a year or so ago and seems to have been entered into the IGI records ??? The Harveys were/are quite a large family , Some of Aarons descendants have ended up in Australia and my Richard b1783 one of his sons Richard b 1815 ,at sea on the way to ,or from Waterloo .Lived and worked in the Lambeth area of London ,he was married twice and in all had about thirteen children .I have quite a lot of names and information on these families . Can anyone please help me with Isaac's birth/christening place and details further back with his parents etc . If anyone else is researching Harveys would love to hear from you Ann from Leicester Does anyone have access to newspapers from 1766 (Stroud or Gloucester maybe) in the Horsley area as a Jno Harvey killed his wife and committed suicide was buried on the Bath road side out of Horsley .

Hello, I have some ancestors who according to BMD records were from Bristol. In a BMD article in the Bristol Mercury the death notice says of "Old-King Street" of this city. Now I have been trying to "google" and check out some "old maps" and I come up with Old King Street, BATH. Now I did check a map and found Bath is not that far from Bristol. What I am wondering is if there used to be an "Old King Street" in Bristol in the mid 1850s or is it more likely that we are actually talking Bath?? Thank you Regards, Pat Wade (Nee King)
