Hi to all, I'm trying to track down Thomas HUDD said to be son of Charles when he married Mary VALE on 25.04.1856 St Georges Bristol. (Certificate in hand) I have found through IGI the christening of a Thomas HUDD s/o Charles and Dinah on 04.04.1841 at St Georges Bristol. A Charles HUDD and a Dinah SYMONS were married in BITTON on 22.03.1789 I would be very grateful if someone could check if this is an adult baptism as, according to the Census Returns, my Thomas HUDD should be born between 1805-1810. Nota : He first married Sophia RADFORD on 24.12.1829 at St Georges, Bristol. Sophia's death registered in Clifton 4th Quarter 1855. The death of a Thomas HUDD registered in Barton Regis 4th Quarter 1884 age 83, giving a birth around 1801, but the age given could be a mistake as in 1881 Census his age is said to be 71. >From the marriage of Thomas HUDD and Mary VALE was born only one daughter, Eliza Ann in 1858, my Great Grandmother, who married Francis HODGES s/o William and Mary Ann WILLIAMS in 1876 at Philips & Jacobs Bristol. Many thanks for any information concerning the my above mentioned ancestors. Jenny LEMARCHAND (France) -- J'utilise la version gratuíte de SPAMfighter pour utilisateurs privés.

I'm trying to find a baptism for Miles MORSE born about 1827 (census calculations) in Stroud. I think I have found him in 1841 (as a gamekeeper at Barton Tything, Cirencester - not with family) and in 1851 (as a Grocer's shopman in Birmingham Warwickshire - again not with family). Subsequent census have him with first and then second wife, but apparently not with any parent or sibling etc. though there are other relatives and visitors, one at least from his first wife's family. He dies in 1893 in Birmingham. Has anyone any idea where Miles was baptised, or even who were his parents? Jay

Hi Margaret, Not long ago, I found a reference to an ancestor in the Diary of Parson Woodforde and his wife was referred to as Patty. On further questioning of experts of this Diary, I was informed that it referred to Martha and that it was a common nickname for Martha in the 18th century.

Hi Margaret Jane Archer was baptised at Cheltenham St Mary on 13 November 1835, daughter of Thomas and Martha. There is also a marriage but it is between Thomas Archer and Patty Hiatt on 7 January 1833 in Cheltenham. George Walter Edwards was baptised in Dursley on 2nd February 1837 to William, hairdresser, and Anne. All from the GFHS Marriage and Baptism Indexes.

In my tree I have an Anna Maria Archer, daughter of Thomas Archer and Martha Hyatt (Hiatt) born 1840 in Cheltenham. I have her Birth Cert. What I would like to know is a) Did Thomas and Martha have any children before Anna Maria? (By 1842 when her sister Mary Ann was born they were living in Southampton) and b) When were they married? I have been unable to find them in any of the Censuses, anywhere. Thomas was a plasterer when Anna Maria was born and I can find a Daniel Archer, plasterer and a Joseph Archer, plasterer in Cheltenham who I think must be relatives. I am also looking for the birth around 1836 of George William Walter Edwards in Dursley. He was the son of William and Ann Edwards. Also William and Ann's marriage.

Just wondering if there is sks who would be willing to do a lookup for me in the Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard newspaper? I am looking for the obituary for my uncle, Ordinary Seaman Jack Beasley, died 10 th July, age 19, at Plymouth hospital, but born and raised in Cirencester to Harry and Florence Beasley. Also looking for the obituary for my grandfather Harry Tanner, who died at Rectory Cottage, Daglinworth. Gloucestershire. Husband of Mary Ann Amelia Whittle/Tanner. He died 20 February 1937, aged 68. Hoping that with this information I can finally track down my fathers siblings. So a huge thank you to anyone who can help me in breaking down this brick wall. Sonia in NJ USA

Hello Robert Thanks for the response. Sorry I can't help you as my interest in the Godsells effectively ended when Esther Godsall married William Humphreys (my mothers maiden name was Humphreys) in 1817. I know someone has tabled the descendants of Humphrey Godsawe b. abt 1602 Upton On Severn, Worcestershire, right up to the 1980's, somewhere on the web. There may be a clue in there. If you enter "Descendants of Humphrey Godsawe" into Google or another search engine you should find it.

James Godsell (b. 1762), Dymock and Mary Hodges (b. 1768), Dymock, Gloucestershire I am trying to solve the conumdrum of which Mary Hodges married James Godsall in Dymock in 1790. A fellow researcher with 30 years experience of tracking the Hodges family is working with me. Esther Godsall, born Dymock 1795, is the g-g-grandmother of the writer. She was the daughter of James and Mary. Note Esther is sometimes spelt Hester and known variants of Godsall through time are Godsal, Godsel, Godsell and Godsawe. Dymock Parish Register transcripts record the marriage of James Godsell to Mary Hodges in Dymock on 14 October 1790. One of the two witnesses was Hannah Hodges. The same transcripts also record the marriage of Mary Hodges to William Ring (b. 1754) of Colwall in Dymock on 17 August 1792. "Ring" is believed to be a mispelling for King based on the evidence of his will, proved in 1798. One of the witnesses was Thomas Hodges. There is no record of James Godsell's death or burial on the Forest of Dean Parish Register transcripts in the intervening period and a Thomas Godsell was born to James and Mary in Dymock in 1800 suggesting that the pair were still very much together. Mary, Hannah and Thomas Hodges were all born to William and Hannah Hodges. However there were two consecutive generations of William and Hannah Hodges in Dymock, the first, nee Hill, married in Dymock in 1741 and the second, nee Taylor, married in 1765. Both generations included a Mary, Hannah and Thomas among their children. Mary Hodges born Dymock 1768 was a child of the second William and Hannah (nee Taylor). Mary Hodges, born Dymock 1751 to William and Hannah (nee Hill), spinster married Joseph Stephens, bachelor of Redmarley Dabitot in Dymock on 20 November 1777. Joseph died and was buried in Redmarley on 17th August 1790 Finally a James Godsall was buried, aged 70, on 10th July 1826 - at the time of his death he lived at Leddington in Dymock Parish. Any pointers to which Mary Hodges married James Godsell gratefully received. Thank you

Keith, You could try visiting the new Local Studies & Family History library on Chester Walk, Cheltenham [just behind the main library on Clarence Street. Street directories, Electoral registers, parish mags, all sorts in fact to offer clues to the life of your ancestors. Newspapers on microfilm too. Very important resource. Webpage has been updated to list the main collections. http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/libraries/index.cfm?articleid=1369 It is advisable to contact the library to book a film reader in advance as they do get used, and also an email if you fancy anything in particular so it can be got out ready for your visit. Use the locate catalogue linked on the above page. St Peters church is along the Tewkesbury Road, just beyond the Tesco stores. It is about a 15 minute walk from the town centre so easily possible. I'm not sure when it is open if you are thinking of having a look inside. Hope this gives you some encouragement to make the journey, and should you make it into the library I may even meet you there!!
