New to list. I am trying to trace ancestry of Emma SELLEY b. 18 Nov 1872, St. Pancras, Middlesex, England. Her parents were Augustus SELLEY, b. abt 1839, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, and Emma (surname unknown), b. abt 1843, St James, Middlesex, England. Would like to learn surname of Emma snr. and marriage details for Augustus and Emma snr. Thanks.

Hello Listers, I'm new to this site as I have only recently discovered that my ancestor, William Ferguson, was born in Clerkenwell, Middlesex on March 3rd, 1821. He became a seafarer and first went to sea in 1839 as a steward & cook. He also served in the Royal Navy and had one year in foreign service. He lived at Doctors Common when not at sea and this information came from the Registry of Shipping & Seaman, in the National Archives. I've consulted the usual sources for his baptism/birth record, but it seems as though Clerkenwell parish records have not yet been made publicly available. Therefore I would be grateful for any advice as to how I could access these records - if they still exist, or if there are any plans to release them. I need to know the names of his parents to confirm his identity as he gave them as William Ferguson & Ann Thompson at the time of his marriage. Thank you, Marj Luhrs Ballarat Victoria Australia

Any lister with links/knowledge of Ada M (Mitchell) Mills, m. 1898 Walter A BROOM/E; in the 1901 census Walter was a painter, living in Poplar. The census gives her age as 22, b.West Ham, but not clearly identified in Free BMD's or 1881 census? Any advice appreciated. Les Hewett, Napier, New Zealand.

The day book for St James Clerkenwell gives dates of birth where the parish register doesn't. It confirms that this William FERGUSON, son of Peter and Jane Elizabeth, was born on 3 March 1821. The address is Rosoman Street (not Roseman).

Hi Pip Welcome to the list. FreeBMD (www.freebmd.org.uk) will provide you with the references you need to order Emma's birth certificate and her parents' marriage certificate via www.gro.gov.uk. The latter will give you the names and occupations of both of their fathers which should help you move back a further generation. Hope this helps Caroline > > New to list. > > I am trying to trace ancestry of Emma SELLEY b. 18 Nov 1872, St. > Pancras, Middlesex, England. > > Her parents were Augustus SELLEY, b. abt 1839, Cheltenham, > Gloucestershire, England, and Emma (surname unknown), b. abt 1843, St > James, Middlesex, England. > > Would like to learn surname of Emma snr. and marriage details for > Augustus and Emma snr. > > Thanks. > > Pip. >

Caroline, you are absolutely magnificent and spot on as always, leaving some of us plebs for dead. You have confirmed my thoughts re. Carter's Lane the more modern Inn called Saracen's Head. Sad that it is no more.The Woodhill family I recall was definitely in charge. As for your assertion of a possible marriage of Ellen Bennett to Charles Skinner Chapple, this looks very encouraging as her father definitely was William and a builder and given that she was born in Soho, brmmmmmmm, that's a lot of wonderful coincidences stacked up. Fulham was an area graced by some of her younger relatives, so possible she had moved after the reconstruction of Holborn to there prior to 1891. It would certainly not have been a youthful marriage as she would have been 50 at the time, so guess no children from that marriage. Anyway, I shall follow this up in FindmyPast with the further census' of 1901 and 1911. Once again, spot on Caroline. Thanks so much.

Hi Jacqueline You may get a better response if you expand on each line a little (forenames, dates and places) Keeping in mind that the living should not be discussed onlist There are several MACGREGOR families in Middlesex 1901 alone and even more CULLs Saying you are looking for XXXX surname in Middlesex or London is akin to asking for SMITH in England <g> It doesn't matter what name you pick you will generally find some in MDX or London For Middlesex see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesex The map may be helpful but you will need to turn it a quarter turn left to get it to look right in relation to the other Counties For Greater London see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_London Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hello I am new to this list and not sure what areas covered by the old > Middlesex - I presume it was much of Greater London? > My surname interest is MACGREGOR and the places involved include > Finchley/Friern Barnet, Hendon, Willesden and thereabouts from 1900-1950s. > If anyone is connected with these Macgregors, I would be delighted to > correspond.
