>From Gloucestershire marriage Index 1800-1837 obtainable on CD from Glos FHS - see www.gfhs.org.uk for details: Thomas BASTIN (widower) married Lucina WYMAN (widow) at Dursley 27 Jan 1820 by banns. John WYMAN married Lucina SMITH at North Nibley 6 Feb 1804 by banns As Jonathon and Lois were married in 1839 there might well have been children born between 1839 and 1843 who did not survive. In 1841 in Newman's Place there is a Joseph BASTIN, 20, Louisa BASTIN, 18 William BASTIN, 1 next door to a Joseph & Mary SIMMONS (a shoemaker) What were the name of Lois's parents?

Hello Listers, I have just subscribed and am hoping to contact anyone who has knowledge of an ALLEN family living in Saul in the early 1800s Phil White

Joyce, I don't know if it helps, but I had the same problem with a great great grandfather who had been in the Royal Engineers. The Engineers seem to be the soldiers who do things like digging ditches and other basic physical work. My gggrandfather was a stone mason in the censuses. In other words, engineers are not necessarily engineers!

Hello Helen. In 1841 there is a Louis BASTEN aged 25 living at Cheltenham with a Charles aged 4. She is a shopkeeper. On the record it looks more like Louisa BASTON Could be yours?

My Mum has just found some documents regarding my paternal Grandfather slipped between the pages of a very old book. One is what looks like a certificate, signed by Winston Churchill, saying that my Grandfather was mentioned in dispatches for 'galantry (& something else, but I cant remember the exact wording) in the field'. I know he was in the army for 9yrs ... I know this from a letter of reference written by his CO, recommending him to a prospective employer ... & I also found a medal index card (?) reference online, which shows that he was in both Italy & Syria during WWI. The documents I have give regiments, ranks & numbers ... different number in each regiment, is that right? What Id like to know is what information is available to me regarding his service, & where would I apply to get it? TIA H

Hi Janet, Have you seen this one from the IGI. You didn't say he was born in Cam and I believe Horsley is not very far away. Also, there are no Alexanders in the batch file for Cam.

Have a look here: http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/kington.html You'll need to scroll down for the places covered by Kington in 1936. If you want to know where a registration district covers, go to www.freebmd.org.uk and type in the surname Smith then select the registration district from the list and click find. -- Charani (UK)

Hi List I am trying to find some information about the Cheltenham Engineer Volunteers. I have a copy of a certificate which says- Sapper George Ballinger has this day been struck off the muster roll of the Cheltenham Engineer Volunteers at his own request. This is my gtgrandfather and the date was 1878. It was signed by the Captain of the 1st Gloster Engineer Volunteer Corps I wonder if anyone can tell me more about this. As far as I know George was never an engineer as every certificate etc says he is either a labourer or later a house painter. Can anyone tell me what roll he is likely to have played in this organisation?

Hi there, I have tried your look-up exchange page because of my brick wall. Unfortunately, I couldn't see anyone on the list who would be likely to be able to help me. - Perhaps you could re-direct my note? I am unable to reach Records Offices. My Husband's 2 x Gt. Grandfather was William Gill, a Master Ironfounder who spent his adult life in the Limehouse district of London where he employed 4 men at his Ironfoundery. On Census Records, William consistently says he was born in Stroud and that his wife Elizabeth was born Littleworth. It appears he was born abt. 1807 Stroud. William & Elizabeth's first child was John, born Lambeth abt. 1828. In the 1841 Census there was yet another John in the household shown as being aged 15 and we suspect a mistake somewhere along the line. - this older John may have been a Brother or other relative of William. By the 1881 Census, Elizabeth had died and William was living with a son. I did write generally to the Gloucestershire rootsweb pages and two people suggested that the couple shown on the 1881 Census as born abt. 1806 Moreton-in-the-Marsh could be mine. - Not only was Elizabeth dead by that time, but this William Gill had a wife called Eliza. The family obviously kept in touch with their roots in Stroud as two of their Sons married sisters, Selina and Hannah Gardiner. - Their Father was Paul Hawkins Gardiner. There seems to be next to nothing on the I.G.I. for Stroud.
