Hi Nancy, Thanks for replying. We both ventured to the same sites and I couldn't find anything. I didn't find the Frederick Wilkins baptism on the 25 Dec 1832 - it certainly is possible. As for the name it didn't sound French to me - Vizard might but not Wilkins. I will keep Wales in mind and start researching around that. Thanks very much Regards Tracey -----Original Message----- From: gloucester-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:gloucester-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Nancy Frey Sent: Monday, 5 September 2011 3:56 PM To: gloucester@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [GLS] Wilkins/Vizard family Hi Tracey, I had a look around for you and found absolutely nothing on the IGI or FreeREG c. 1820 for a Frederick WILKINS.

IGI Fanily Search has a baptism at Uley on 1 February 1789 of an Epaphroditus VIZARD son of James & Ann - right place and timescale according to the 1851 census. Phillimores Marriage Index of Uley shows a marriage on 21 September 1783 of James VIZARD, parish of Dursley, & Ann FISHER, of this parish. Lots of HILL marriages in the Phillimores Marriage Index of Cam, including on 13 February 1786 John HILL & Elizabeth SMITH plus on 19 March 1787 John HILL, bachelor, & Esther TALBOYS, widow but whether either of these are the parents of Bathsheba is anybody's guess at this time without finding her baptism. Janet > Epaphroditus Vizard died 2Q1868, age 80.

Hi, I am researching the Wilkins//Vizard family and I am hoping someone has a few more resources than I do, to help locate these families Frederick Wilkins was born 1820 and it was thought in Gloucestershire, but that now seems up for debate. He married Ann Vizard on the 16th January, 1848 in Dursley, Gloucestershire. They had only one child we know of and that was Aquilla Wilkins born March 1846 in Dursley, Gloucestershire. They moved to Australia in December 1848. On an 1841 census I found Ann Vizard's family - Titus Vizard b1787, Labourer (54) and his wife Bathsheba Vizard (b 1786), Ann (1821 )(20) and Jane Vizard (aged 15) (All born in the same county - it states on the census. However the current/living family thought that they may have immigrated from France to flee the revolution in the late 1700's The Wilkins family I have had no luck with at all. They too were thought to be from France, but the name doesn't suggest that. I would love to hear from anyone who can help me further. Regards Tracey

Tracey, I have lots of VIZARDs in the Dursley area, going back to the early 1700's. I'll send you the tree I have done (so far - this branch of the family is my project for the coming Winter!) I see that Samuel Vizard who married Sarah Woodward had a couple of sons, William (1766) and John (1769) who could just be the father of Titus. There may also be descendants of Samuel's elder brother John, born 1738. He was married in 1760. Regards, Pam

Hello Zoe, I don't know if you already have this information, but from Biglands Memorial Inscriptions of Badgeworth: On Flat Stones in the Chancel Here lyeth the body of Mary the wife of Thomas HYNSON who departed the 16the day of November 1643, aged 47 Depositum Gulielmi HYNSON, Armigeri, Qui obit 8 die Octobris 1686 Requiescat in pace Here lyeth the body of Thomas HYNSONof this parish, Esq who departed the first day of December 1649 Elizabeth HYNSON died April 2nd in the eighteenth year of her age 1720 Thomas the son of William HYNSON, of this parish, Esq died 2nd March 1650 Ann HYNSON daughter of Mr William HYNSON was buried Sept 2nd 1679 It would appear that the HYNSON family at least remained in Badgeworth until after 1720 as daughter Elizabeth was buried there. The HINSON/HYNSON name also appears in the Visitation of Gloucestershire 1682, for example Mary daughter of William & Margaret LAURENCE, bap 1596, married Thomas HINSON of Hunts Court, Badgeworth in 1616, son & heir William HINSON, but I am assuming you have this sort of info, as it is well before the 1717 date you mention. What are the names of the remaining members of the family that you have c1717? It should make tracing them after 1717 somewhat easier for other members of the list.

I have read all the other replies and noone has come up with Frederick Wilkins, born in Dursley, who was christened in Tetbury 26 Feb 1826. His parents were John & Betty [nee Shipton]. The children I have listed down from my own transcription of the Tetbury PRs all vary between being born in Dursley and Tetbury. John's occupation was a pargeter. John & Betty married in Tetbury 1802, and there were 6 children that I have listed down, there being a 9 year gap between the 5th child and Fred who was the youngest. There may have been more children, or Fred may have been a few years old when christened but this was not recorded in the PR. Hope this helps.

Hello Tracey, >From Gloucestershire FHS Baptismal Index: 26 February 1826 at Tetbury St Mary Frederick WILKINS son of John & Elizabeth WILKINS, Pargeter, Dursley Other children baptised to this couple are: 26 December 1813 Ann WILKINS daughter of John & Betty 20 July 1817 Harriet WILKINS daughter of John & Elizabeth Have you obtained Frederick & Ann's marriage certificate? This will give you his father's name & profession which should make Frederick easier to trace and confirm whether the above baptism is the correct one. The registration details are: Frederick WILKINS & Ann VIZARD March qtr 1848 Dursley reg district, vol 11, page 317. There would appear to be 2 other WILKINS males who are also Pargeters having children at the same time as John & Elizabeth, a George married to a Mary and a Jacob married to an Elizabeth - perhaps relatives to John?? There is the following VIZARD child baptised at Dursley to your couple, which gives Titus his full name - phew what a mouthful: 12 December 1817 Elizabeth VIZARD daughter of Epaphroditus & Bathsheba, Labourer, Dursley There is a marriage on the FHS Marriage Index at Dursley on 25 August 1816 of a Dytus VIZARD & Bathsheba HILL, by banns which sounds a likely candidate for Ann's parents. Gloucestershire Burial Index has the following relevant burials: 9 July 1830 at Dursley John WILKINS, aged 54 10 September 1849 at Dursley Betty WILKINS, aged 68 There is also a burial at Dursley on 1 August 1823 of a Mary WILKINS, aged 87 - perhaps a further generation back? However, I can't find burials for either Titus or Bathsheba VIZARD on the Index. However, they are still alive in the 1851 census of Dursley (HO107/1959, folio 407, page 28), which explains why they are not on the Burial Index asd it only goes up to 1851: Hardings Cottages Epaphroditus VIZARD Head Mar 63 Laborer Gloucestershire Uley Bathsheba do Wife Mar 64 Wool Picker do Cam Jane do Daur U 23 Charwoman do Dursley Joseph do Grandson 4 Scholar do do HTH and let me know if I can help further.

Epaphroditus Vizard died 2Q1868, age 80. There's a birth for Aquilla Vizard 1Q 1846 (presumably same one as born before Frederick and Ann were married) There's also a death record for Aquilla Wilkins 1Q 1848 Shipston-on-Stour - might be worth getting this certificate as it could be a family member. The only Aquilla Wilkins I could find on 1841 census is age 6 in Frome, Somerset. On Ancestry there are two family trees with Epaphroditus Vizard. One gives his father as James Vizard born Dursley about 1760, and mother Ann Fisher. Pat Hanby Reading, UK Today's Topics: 1.

Hi Tracey, I've looked for the Vizard family on the Gloucestershire Family History Society transcription of the 1851 Gloucestershire census and found them at Dursley: Piece 1958 Folio 0407 Schedule 115 Their address was Hardings Cottages. The father's first name is recorded as Essaphroditus. He was a 63 and born in Uley, GLS. His occupation was labourer. His wife, Bethsheba (sic), aged 64, was a wool picker born in Cam, GLS. Their unmarried daughter Jane Vizard , 23, and their grandson Joseph Vizard, 4, were in their household, Both were born in Dursley, GLS. Their address was Hardings Cottages.
