Please how do I find out about an Education in London 1836. James Vickery my G.G. Grandfather was born on the 10th Jan 1826 in London to Joseph Vickery and Mary Vickery nee Burgess. The family arrived in Aust.1833 and James was sent back to England April 1836. In a letter written to James by his father , as he is leaving ,states he will further his studies at Kings College or London University (age 10?) He is to stay with his Uncle Vincent at No 4 Norfolk St. Strand ( a Vincent Dowling lived at this address in the 1841 census) He is down as a Schoolmaster in N.S.W. Australia at the birth of his first child in 1846

I believe a descendant of Mary Banks, sister of my great great grandfather Benjamin Banks emigrated to Australia. Can anyone suggest a genealogy site in Australia on which I could pose a question. Felicia Riley Sent from my iPad

Hello, I'm new to this list and would be glad of some advice please. I am looking for JOHN JAMES WAITE, probably born c.1871. My first sighting of him is on the 1901 census for Monmouthshire, his age then was 30 and his birthplace Lambeth. I know he remained in Monmouthshire for the rest of his life. In 1911 he was 40 and his birthplace was Paddington. John was married to Rebecca Iles in February 1899 at Mynddislwyn, Mon, age shown was 28. So it seems safe to assume he was born in or near 1871. The marriage certificate shows his father's name as John Waite, occupation Labourer. I've searched on Ancestry and on Find My Past but I haven't found this family on any pre 1901 census. I've tried Wait and Weight too. There's a John Waite with parents John and Matilda Zella, born July 1871 at Lambeth, they looked promising but I've followed it up and it's not the right family. Any suggestions or advice will be very welcome. Thanks, Marjorie

University College London "the godless institution in Gower Street" was founded in 1826 and King's College London in 1828. However I doubt if either was accepting 10 year-old boys! But they each had, and still have, associated schools. King's College School (now in Wimbledon) was founded in 1828 and University College School (Hampstead) in 1830. Both are very succcessful today and each has a website. I think it is very likely that they will still have Admission Registers from the beginning, so enquiries will probably tall you where he went. Best wishes Alice Clarke

I was once told, by a solicitor, decades ago, that the reason for the wording was it proved the father acknowledged the child was his and could therefore not accuse his Lady of philandering! Legally speaking a child born to a married woman is "always" presumed to be her husband's offspring, he or she may know different, but in the case of a newspaper announcement he was in fact publicly acknowledging his wife's faithfullness. Good one!

Yes as is more often the way I always find it amusing that births were usually announced as follows The Morning Post (London, England), Sunday, December 29, 1823 BIRTHS - On the 23rd inst. at Newlands, near Stanstead, Herts, the Lady of James Haylock, Esq, of a daughter. You would think having done most of the hard work (if not all of it) she may have got a mention wouldn't you <g> For posterity the Lady was Martha Casburn HAYLOCK Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) And poor old Mrs Brightridge doesn't even get a name...

Michael, The church is in pretty much in the same place it always was, and it predates Gresham Street. Have a look at Bowles' map of 1775. http://mapco.net/bowles1775/bowles07_01.htm The church is marked as No. 12 on the above map square. It's on the left, about two-thirds down, on St Ann's Lane close to the junction of St Martins le Grand and Aldersgate. It's been rebuilt at couple of times of course, and is now St Ann's Lutheran church.

I love the old registers, don't you John I was looking in the St Anne & St Agnes register just out of curiosity, on the second page are a few details of the first entries One reads :- (This would be 1739 by the looks of it) The Beauril Dues for Beauring of Mr Brightridge wife Ground 0..6..0 Minister 0..4. Clark 0..3. Sexton 0..4. Register 0..1. Six Bearres 0..9? For Prayers in the Church 0..7. For Six Pound of Candles 0..3. --------- £ 1.10? --------- Unfortunately the page has been repaired at some point and covered part of the pence column but you get the overall jist Little wonder we get all sorts of spellings for names eh?

Thanks to all that replied so quickly it is appreciated I would appear that St Anne and St Agnes is in present times located in Gresham Street I have checked with some of the Mapco maps for the period around 1776/1800 and cannot see Gresham street according to a modern map it is near Wood Street on the old maps I can locate Wood Street as anyone any suggestion as to the location of St Anne and St Agnes circa 1776 Michael

Michael, St John Zachary (like many churches destroyed in the Fire) was united with a nearby parish in the 1670s, in this case St Anne and St Agnes. Some united parishes retained separate registers, recording events for parishioners according to their parish of residence, even though there was no longer a church there. In other united parishes, events for parishioners were all recorded together in a single register. Ancestry is inconsistent about how it treats united parishes.

I have found a baptism on the IGI for Mary Langton 22 Nov 1776 St John Zachary I searched maps and goggled but could not find the Church then I stumbled onto a site which had the following *City parish churches: St. John Zachary (site of)* One of the City's parish churches that was not rebuilt after the Great Fire but whose churchyard or site lives on as a garden. It is on the corner of Gresham and Noble Streets. In light of the above, the IGI entry is not making sense, if the church was not rebuilt after the great fire (1666) Can someone offer an explanation Michael

Hello everyone, I'm looking for the family of my Great Grandmothers sister. Her name was Jessie Gregory. She was in the London Childrens Home from 1901-1913. Thanks to the records they kindly sent me I know that she received a 'situation' in 1914 at Blackheath near Lewisham as a childrens nurse. After searching the freebmd records I think I've narrowed down two possibilities for a marriage for Jessie: WILLIAM G STEWARD at WOOLWICH district in 1923 or FREDERICK W MANKLOW at WANDSWORTH district in 1918 I've ordered both marriage certs so hopefully I'll have that answer shortly. Just wondering if anyone through the list might also be researching the same family? Thank you, Tamara.

hi Listers would someone be able to help me pronounce a name please. I have Kerenhappuch Tomkins marrying William Barratt in 1858. Her parents are William (Tomkins) and Ann (White) brothers John James and Henry............Please..how do you say Kerenhappuch.....this is the spelling used on census etc and found as Keren shortened Chrsitene

I have long wondered about this name. Have run across it several times, especially among Native American peoples. Probably I could have looked it up, but I appreciate your post.

Hi Tamara For marriages in the London area its always best to check Ancestry or post a lookup request before sending for certs They go up to 1921 so no good for your 1923 marriage but the 1918 one is there Jessie was 19 no occupation listed a spinster, father Alfred GREGORY deceased Gentlemans Outfitter married at St Marys Balham I can send a copy or the other details if that matches Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello everyone, > I'm looking for the family of my Great Grandmothers sister.
