Hi Jon Several years ago I transcribed from original parish registers many WOOD and WINTER surnames At St. Leonards Shoreditch, but unfortunately did not transcribe the decade or so in which your Winter children were baptized so cannot help there. However, I was wondering if perchance, this was your James Winter? Shoreditch, St. Leonards - baptisms 1785-1801. No page or record numbers. 03 Jul 1791. James s/o Richard & Jane Winter of The Curtain. Born 8 Feb. Also, to the same family: 20 Jun 1793. Jemima d/o Richard & Jane Winter of The Curtain. Born 24 May. 20 Sep 1795. Edward s/o Richard & Jane Winter of Christopher's Alley. Born 1 Jun. The address, which you don't get on the IGI, often helps. 1801-1810: 11 May 1801 Edward James s/o Richard & Jane Winter of Horseshoe Alley. Born 14 Mar. (Assuming that the first Edward died early, and pre-supposing this is the same family?? Always the chance there are two different families.) 23 Jun 1803. Frederick John s/o Richard & Jane Winter of Ross (Rose?) & Crown Court. Born 23 Jan. 20 May 1804. Emma Frances d/o Richard & Jane Winter of Ross & Crown Court. Born 27 Apr. 17 Aug 1806. Mary d/o Richard & Jane Winter of Rose & Crown Court. Born 17 Jul. Hope this helps in some small way. Cheers Graham Melbourne Oz

eve@varneys.org.uk > Hello ­ I am back looking for information on Robert MACQUEEN who > married a Sarah MITCHELL in 1824 at St Marylebone. Since Ancestry has > released the London Parish registers I have found that he was a > widower at the time of the marriage. They seem to have had two sons Something which may be worth considering - alternative sp[ellings of Macqueen. In Bucks, where one soldier of the Scots Guards settled in the early C18, the name starts as MacEwenm becomes Macune, Macquin, Mackwine Macqueen. The same may well have happened to later immigrants. Of course, he could have been a very recent incomer from Scotland or Ireland, and the earlier marriage to be sought there.

John I think I may have found Hannah and Joseph in 1851, and is this will almost confirm that this is Hannah Winter. On Ancestry they are indexed as "Tratta", though the original looks more like Trattall. To help daughter Jessy aged 18 is living with them, though of course she is recorded as Jessy Trattall rather than Winter. Joseph is also a Coal Whipper as in the marriage record. So, reasonably confident that with your help which was excellent I have found not only that Hannah lived beyond 1841 but also that she remarried and her father's name is recorded as Hines or Vines. Great stuff.

Sadly, Jon & Peter, this Hannah seems to have only been 1yr.3mo., from Somerford Street - Hannah Winter Record Type: Burial Estimated Death Date: abt 1841 Burial Date: 4 Jul 1841 Age: 1 Year 3 Months Estimated birth year: abt 1840 Parish or Poor Law Union: Bethnal Green St Matthew Borough: Tower Hamlets County: Middlesex However, some London cemeteries are searchable online. Also, there is a marriage in Bromley (Middx) for a Hannah Winter, widow, in 1849, but I cannot find an earlier marriage for her.

Hello ­ I am back looking for information on Robert MACQUEEN who married a Sarah MITCHELL in 1824 at St Marylebone. Since Ancestry has released the London Parish registers I have found that he was a widower at the time of the marriage. They seem to have had two sons Robert James born in 1819 and baptised at St Marylebone and a William born in 1824. What is puzzling me is that apart from these documents neither Robert or Sarah show up before or after these dates. The two sons I can trace and Robert James MACQUEEN is my GGGrandfather. If anyone stumbles on them or has any suggestions I would be very pleased to hear. Regards Bob

After many years of family history research and following most of my lines, I realise that I have hit a brick wall on one of my paternal fathers lines with my 3*Great Grandparents, James WINTER and his wife Hannah. My Gt Gt Grandmother was Rosetta Sarah WINTER who married William John BAKER in All Saints, Poplar on Christmas Day 1849. Rosetta was born in Shoreditch on 24 Oct 1829 and christened nearly 5 years later at St Leonards on 4 May 1834 (it really is a bonus when the records show the date of birth as well as the baptism, thank you St Leonards). Her parents were recorded as James and Hannah, and she has 4 other known siblings, all female, Jane born 1825, Eliza Hannah also christened 4 May 1834, born 1827, Jessie Margaret also christened the same day, born 1832, and Esther Priscilla, baptized 25 Jun 1837, no birth date but probably 1835/36. No other children identified so far. My Great Grandmother Rosetta died of cholera in 1866, still difficult to imagine that 3 generations back our families were dying of cholera in England. I have assumed that James Winter died before the 1841 census, I have been unable to find any trace of him. Hannah was alive in 1841, listed as a Green Grocer, living in James Street, Mile End Old Town with her 5 daughters (assumed to be daughters although of course the 1841 gives no relationships). Hannah I think died shortly afterwards, so I have no clues about her place of birth, except that it was probably Middlesex. I have followed up on 4 of the 5 daughters and found no clues, sometimes one finds a family member staying with a household that gives a possible lead to the family name, but in this case zilch. Unable to trace Jane the oldest daughter. I have searched all the records I can to find a suitable marriage for James Winter and Hannah, or Ann, Anne or Annie etc., but so far have drawn a complete blank. I would really like to find out Hannah's maiden name so that I can trace her line further, as well as looking further for James of course. But I don't know where else to look. Does anyone have any suggestions. Would really appreciate some help with this. Regards Jon Baker Dorset OPC Co-ordinator www.opcdorset.org

Hi everyone, I'm back tracking the EMERSON family at the moment as I've been contacted by a 2nd cousin I didn't know existed, and he descends from William Edward NIXEY & Ada Maria EMERSON. I had help some time ago from Nivard and others on this list, and since then Ancestry brought online the London collections which has really helped piece things together. I now know that Edards Edward Emerson married Frances Jane Bean in 1859, and their first child, Edards William born 1860 is the father of Ada Maria. I have found Edards and Frances in the 1861, 1871 and 1881 censuses, Frances died in 1884 and Edards in 1887. In the 1881 census, Edards (b1860 Holborn) is not with the family at St George the Martyr (not surprising really), and so far I have hit a blank trying to find him. Any help would be deeply appreciated. I'd also very much like to hear from anyone connected with the EMERSON family, or the family of Frances Jane BEAN whose father was William BEAN, a Coach Smith. Kindest regards to all, Jon

Thanks to both Peter and John. My Great Uncle, Christopher JOHNSON (b Louth 1847) was a waiter, and was living at 393 Old Ford Road. Looks like he was working at the INN and probably living there as well. I just wanted to tie down the location. The "dead pub" web site is nice to have, even a picture. Thanks guys for your help.

I am trying to find where Catherine BUCK was born. She was wife of Thomas CLARKSON (1760 - 1846) noted for his is work on the abolition of slavery. I think her parents were William BUCK and Sarah CORSBIE of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Several authors give Catherine's place of birth as Bury St Edmunds, others give St John's, Florida ! but none gives sources. It is certain that Thomas and Catherine CLARKSON lived at Playford Hall, Suffolk. They were there in the 1841 census and both born out of County which suggests Catherine was not born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. In the 1851 census Catherine (CLARKSON) was a widow, still living at Playford Hall, aged 77, and given as born Homerton, Middlesex. She died in 1856. I am looking for confirmation that Catherine BUCK was born was ca 1774, Homerton (Hackney), daughter of William and Catherine BUCK. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello Ed Not sure how much you've looked around, and I have no idea how accurate it is, but there seems to be at least one public tree on Ancestry suggesting that a Thomas INKS who arrived in America on the Justitia was born around 1750 in Minsterley, Shropshire in England. The report also mentions a father for Thomas. http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/3016164/person/-1787939502/media/1 http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/3016164/person/-1787939502 If this is unknown to you, it might be worth enquiring or furthering your own research in that direction, I would think, taking into account other spellings such as INKS INKES HINKS HINKES for starters.

Would anyone have an idea where 393 Old Ford Road would be. The road goes on for several blocks between Cambridge Heath and Parnell Road however my map doesn't indicate numbers along the street. Many thanks Phil .

I am looking for anyone with surname JEWETT or with connections to anyone with that name whose ancestors spent time in India. David
