Hi Christine, Whilst I don't have the particular family you mention within my trees, I do have Humphreys/Humphrys from Nottinghamshire. If these are of interest just let me know.

I am searching for more information on the ancestry of my 2nd Great Grandmother Sarah HUMPHREYS She became 1st Mrs Henry Crosby & 2nd Mrs John Welsman In her presumed birth records from St Olave, Southwark, Surrey, England in 1806 her parents are named as Lewis HUMPHREYS and Sarah. There is another earlier Baptism for a Lewis Humphry HUMPHRYS in 1798 with Lewis & Sarah as parents. The father Lewis was recorded as a Taylor/ Tailor by occupation (on both chn's St Olave baptisms) as was Sarah's 2nd husband. Earlier there are 2 children born to a Lewis HUMPHREYS & Lydia in the same parish but this Lewis occupation was Cooper so I am presuming he was not the same man. What I am trying to find is a marriage for Lewis HUMPHREYS to Sarah where the wife's Surname is listed. I have tried Wills with no luck as yet. I have tried to find Lewis Humphry HUMPHRYS as well and have no idea what happened to him. I realize I may need to call in some Parish Register films for St Olave & other Surrey parishes but have scrolled through the film strip on Ancestry & tried to check census records. By 1841 Sarah was Mrs John Welsman & in the household were 3 children who were born CROSBY & my Great Grandmother Aphrah WELSMAN was one of 4, younger WELSMAN children. The name HUMPHREYS/HUMPHRYS appears in Surrey registers over many years but could be a Welsh name.

Thanks for suggestions to Julie, Brian & Ken. I have now had a good look at the publications suggested and I can see we have some of them here in New Zealand so I will be going to our NZSG library to do some research. Surrey is a new area for me.

I do have several Humphreys in my Pullum study. The vast majority of my English Pullums are related and lived in Shoreditch. One of the Pullums that I cannot connect married Emma Humphries (originally spelt Humphreys in the marriage record but then corrected. This however is later than the ones you are searching for (1915). The earliest Humphreys I have in the area is Stephen Humphreys born 1873. If your research suggests that I can help further please feel free to contact me Nikki Brown #6552 Pullum ONS https://pullumons.wordpress.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christine via" <[email protected]> To: "Julie Johnson" <[email protected]>, "Christine" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 29 March, 2016 11:08:08 AM Subject: Re: [G] Help or ideas please HUMPHREYS Thanks for suggestions to Julie, Brian & Ken.
