Hello List I have many ancestors that come from round the Badgeworth and Hucclecote areas. If anyone sees a connection or has some good pointers on where to look for further information I would be most grateful. Earliest: LANE Thomas born 1814 Badgeworth married Elizabeth born c 1822 Pencombe children: all born Badgeworth - John c1845, Ann c1847, Thomas c1850, William c1853, Jane c1855, Henry c1857, Sarah c1860 Thomas married Fanny Clark in the 1881 census they are living at 54 Gloster Road Churchdown with children - Edith E c1874 Brockworth, Harry Lane 1876 Churchdown, Walter 1878 Churchdown, william 1882 Brockworth, thomas 1885 brockworth, Adelaide 1885 Brockworth. Harry married Emily Louisa LONG (daur of Thomas and Martha nee Powles) born 1873 Harry was a blacksmith in Hucclecote. His sister Adelaide later lived with them (1901) The LONG family centre around Allstone and Hucclecote and some seemed to be Grocers and I have Thomas Long who was a wines and spirits seller - Royal Oak Hucclecote (1901). Thanks vicky

I have recently rejoined the list and hope someone can help me. I am researching the above family names and in particular a Henry Purchase DAY. He married a Rosina PAYNE at St George, Bristol on 26 Nov 1887. The father of Henry is stated to be Edward Purchase DAY although I have his birth certificate where his name is registered as Henry HOCKEY and his mother Ann HOCKEY but no father stated. Henry was born 22 Jan 1867 at Stoke sub Hamdon, Somerset. If Henry's father was Edward Purchase DAY, aka Edward PURCHASE, then you have a very interesting situation where not only is he the father but also the grandfather as he was married to Ann's mother Mary HOCKEY. Henry and Rosina had five children, Rosina 1890, Emma, 1893, Madeline 1895, Henry Edward 1897 and Elsie 1900. Any information concerning these children would be appreciated. The exception being Henry Edward who emigrated to Australia and I am assisting one of his grandchildren who is anxious to make contact with his English relations. The family, together with a number of the Hockey family moved to Bristol around 1880 and were mostly employed in the shoe industry. The other mystery is how they came to have the surname DAY which did not exist until they moved to Bristol. Roy Day PS. Although I have the same surname I am not related to this family.

Thanks for this Bob, as you suggest it looks like this could be the answer so will follow your suggestions and check out the following page and also take a rain check in Google to see if it is still there and if so the details of this, again many thanks.

John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ROBERT HARRIS" <bob.june@btopenworld.com> To: <gloucester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 10:35 PM Subject: Re: [GLS] Census place name in TEWKESBURY. > John, > > Could it be CHANCE STREET, have a look at the following page also. > > A google search suggests the street still exists. > > regards > > Bob > > john frawley <j.frawley@ntlworld.com> wrote: > I would be very grateful if anyone can help with the following problem. > 1851 Census for TEWKESBURY HO/107 /1974.Folio 482.

Hi Les and Debby, How could I resist adding to the thread when I read Debby's kind words this morning:-) Thomas TANNER, who had sons John and Thomas baptized at Henbury in 1815 and 1818, was a labourer. At the 1826 baptism of his son Edwin at Winterbourne, Robert TANNER was a hatter with abode at Watley's End, Winterbourne. The same occupation and abode was listed at the 1836 baptism of his daughter Harriet, but I haven't checked the occupation and abode at the baptisms of the other four TANNER children. To see the locations of Frampton Cotterell and Westbury-on-Trym, take a look at the following page on my web site where you will see Bolton's Map of the Environs of Clifton and Bristol c. 1857: http://www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com/places/bristol/bolton.htm Frampton Cotterell is in the top right-hand corner and Winterbourne is south west of it. Westbury is south west of Winterbourne and Henbury is north west of Westbury.

Hello Carolyn, I have an Ann DYER marring Thomas SPIRE on 25th May 1708 in Childswickham I have also found a record a Christening on 31st August 1671 of an Ann DIER who was born in Ashton Under Hill, who's father was Thomas DIER. The above marriage was Thomas's second, which accounts for the age of Ann and is one of the reasons I suspect Ann DIER is Ann DYER.

Hi Listers Is anyone researching the name COOk at Guiting Power or neighbouring villages? I have traced mine back to Timothy Cook (born circa 1761) He married Ann Hope at Winchcomb in 1786. They had at least seven children baptised at Temple Guiting. A branch of the family moved to Guiting Power and then on to Whitwick in Leicestershire. Would be interested in hearing from anyone with info on these Cooks or related ones. Kind regards Sharon Sandford

Hi List, I have been seeing quite a few listings for Stephens/Stevens and thought I would add to the Stephens/Stevens search. Possibly there is a connection. My third great grandmother, Elizabeth (WARNER) DAVIS was the daughter of Thomas WARNER of Slimbridge. From the IGI, I found a Thomas WARNER who married Hannah STEPHENS, 9 Apr 1792 in Slimbridge and I believe these were Elizabeth's parents. I did some more digging on the IGI and found that Hannah's parents were William STEPHENS and Susannah FORDS, who were married 21 Jul 1767 in Slimbridge. William and Susannah had several children: Hannah, born abt. 1771 William, born abt. 1772 Mary, born abt 1773 Milly, born abt. 1775 Job, born abt. 1777 Milly, born abt. 1779 Deborah, born abt. 1782 Susannah, born abt. 1785 Sarah, born abt. 1788 I don't know if any of these STEPHENS match, but thought I would submit them.

I would like to post my interest in WILLIAM GILL , Ironfounder born abt. 1807 Stroud and wife ELIZABETH born littleworth. NO MARRIAGE OR FOREBEARS FOUND FOR EITHER. William & Elizabeth settled in LIMEHOUSE where he was a Master Ironfounder employing 8 men. Their first child, John born abt. 1828 Lambeth was the only child not born in Limehouse. William & Elizabeth must have kept their ties to Gloucestershire as two of their boys married into a GARDINER family from there. The girls were Selina and Hannah Gardiner. Their Father was Paul Hawkins Gardiner born abt. 1800 and Maria (Carter?) born abt. 1804. They were married on 13.9.1821 in Minchinhampton. Their children were Harry born Stroud 25.4.1824, Selina 5.4.1829 Stroud who married John Gill in Stroud on 29.7.1850. Later, with their children, they emigrated to Australia where Selina died in 1883. Three more children of Paul Hawkins Gardiner & Maria were born in Stroudshill and were Matthew 11.1.1826, Enoch, born & Christened ll.6.1826 and Hannah 31.7.1831 who married Charles Gill when both were aged 21 on 24.10.1852. Parents of Paul Hawkins Gardiner MAY have been Paul Gardiner & he MAY have married a Mary Davis in Kemploy 10.10.1763. I am particularly interested in the Gill family who were direct forebears of my Husband and if anyone can shed any light on William Gill & Elizabeth's origins and forebears, I would be v. grateful. Regards, Dene

I need advice on how to proceed. Please read this if you have time, and let me know if there is anything that I have overlooked. I live in the United States, so I can only do what I can from here or from hiring people (I've done a bit of that.) Thanks in advance for looking at this. I am trying to find the parents of my ancestor, Jane WILCOX (WILCOCKS, etc.) According to her obituary, she was born December 23, 1810 in Cheltenham. I was not able to find a baptism there, but did find one in January 1813 for a Jane Wilcox, parents Edward and Susannah Wilcox. This was in Upper Slaughter parish, which isn't far from Cheltenham. No birthdate was given for Jane or else I'd know if it were my Jane. My Jane was married May 21 1832 in Rochdale, Lancashire, to Andrew Graham, a soldier. One witness was Arthur Graham, who was in Andrew's regiment. The other appeared to a be a woman who was often a witness in the marriages of that church, so probably not related. Jane was listed as living in Blackwater Street. This is very definitely my Jane. Their son was baptized in Salford in September of 1832. Both the marriage and the baptism were Church of England and the family remained Episcopalian when they came to America in 1863-1865. What I was trying to prove or disprove the Jane Wilcox of Upper Slaughter as being my Jane. That Jane vanishes by 1841 census. I checked the Gloucestershire burial index in case the Jane baptized 1813 had died young and the marriage index for Gloucestershire. Nothing. I am not sure where to go next. The family moved a great deal. In March 1834, they went to Ireland or at least Andrew did. He was there until mid 1838. In January 1840, he was finished with his military service. After that, I have no idea where they were from Jan 1840 through mid-1862 except that they were in N. Ireland for some of that time. Children born in 1844-1852 were notated as having been born in Northern Ireland. I have no idea where. I checked where one of them married (Tyrone county), in 1862, but they weren't baptized there or in the surrounding parishes. I've searched baptisms (BTs) for Gloucestershire, IGI (for both Gloucestershire and Lancashire), death records of Edward and Susannah Wilcox, will index of Gloucestershire, WO97, WO12, WO 22, 1841, 1851 census for England, Jane's death record (she emigrated to the United States), death records of her known children, burial records for Jane and her children, obituaries, etc. Now I'm simply at a loss as to how to proceed. Any ideas on where to go next would be great. If only she had been married 5 years later! Bon

Hi again, I just discovered that Chipping Sodbury, where an Alex Thomas was born 1766, is close to Kingswood, Wiltshire where Alexander and Elizabeth Beard married.

Hi Janet, Thank you for finding Alex in 1841. That explains why I never found him in Bromsgrove in 1841. He was already orphaned. Also that birth of an Alexander in Chipping Sodbury I will definitely check out. Even the death registration might help. I have found Elizabeth Thomas (nee Beard ) in a plot at St. Swithins, Leonard Stanley along with her daughter Hester Alderwick, from the online listing done by Alf Beard. That site is a great help. However, Elizabeth's husband Alexander THOMAS doesn't seem to be in that plot. But ELizabeth lived to her 90s(old for a cloth working pauper) and her husband was gone before 1841so his marker might not be visible. You have been a great help, just as I was giving up.
