He married Hannah EMMERSON in 1813 in Tattingstone, and they had 4 daughters and 1 son between 1813 and 1823, a daughter, Sarah, married into my family of TRACEY. John his son went onto marry and have children but I cannot find any that link in with your tree. Sorry. I would say that there are a number of spellings of the surname and there are lots of them in Suffolk so you will have an interesting time ahead of you. I hope when you check all the details that Geoff sent you, that you find your ancestors, but don't loose heart if it takes a while.

Author: rosemill76 Surnames: Osborowe, Oxborrow Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8187.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I saw this several years ago in a lovely tree chart uploaded to the web by Toby Oxborrow (can't find it any more) and wondered the same thing. Someone I showed it to pointed out that there was an ellipsis after the name Johes which indicated that there was a gap in information there, i.e., some generations were missing. I'm not sure how they knew about Johes if there were missing generations though. Perhaps it was simply that they didn't have room on the pretty chart for all the generations. -------------------------------------------------- Robinson's of Wetherden This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: tonineobard Surnames: Robinson & Dean/Dane Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8832/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have a mystery - and it is complicated so apologies for this long post! I am researching a Joseph Charles Robinson born around 1844, a bricklayer, whose census entries state that he is from Wetherden, Suffolk. He appears to live his adult life in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire (from the time of the 1871 census until his death in 1921). I have his marriage certificate to Sarah Susannah Ayres (marriage 1874, Cambridge) which states his father is Joseph Robinson, a builder. So I was pleased when I found a Joseph Robinson, born around 1845 in Wetherden with a father called Joseph who was a bricklayer. However, things then went downhill, as it was clear that Joseph junior continued to live in Wetherden, and is shown on the 1871/1881/1891 censuses with his wife Susan . So he couldn't be 'my' Joseph Charles Robinson as he was in Cambridge at this time - unless of course he was a very careful bigamist who ran from home to home to make sure he was in both on all census nights :-) I sent for the birth certificate of a Joseph Charles Robinson which fitted the details I had and this shows he was born on 21st December 1843 and his parents were Joseph Robinson, bricklayer and Mary Ann Dane. Now I know that the maiden name for the Mary Ann who is the wife of Joseph Robinson (senior) living in Wetherden is Dean - which is too similar to Dane to ignore. But I think their child Joseph is the one born in 1846 in the birth indexes as his age is consistent on the censuses and is too young to be the Joseph Charles born in December 1843. I am working on the theory that my Joseph Charles may be their other son called Charles Robinson who disappears from the census at around the right time. His age is spot on to be my Joseph Charles. And also I note that there are two Charles Robinson's of the same age on the census for the area, but only one shown in the birth indexes. So one may have been given another name at birth. It is always possible this Charles dies before the 1871 census as there is one that does, but no age at death is shown at this time and I think it relates to another Charles Robinson who dies as an infant. If Charles Robinson is my Joseph Charles Robinson, why on earth did the parents register two children as Joseph. I have only ever come across this when the first one dies. Is there anyone who has access to the Wetherden Parish Records that could help me clear up this mystery.

I've got my fingers crossed that someone has access to Wetherden baptisms which may shed further light. I have known children's births to be registered under one given name only for another to be given at baptism - and I have a vague hope that this may be the case here.

Also his marriage to Lydia Steward between about 1832 and 1840. This could be in Ipswich, London, or anywhere else!

Author: maryl2010 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8833.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My starting point is the marriage in London, in 1863 of my g-g-grandparents Charlotte Warner and Joseph Morgan. Charlotte's father is given as Charles Warner (deceased), profession soldier. I have found Charlotte in every census from 1851 to 1911 (but not 1841). Her age varies slightly, but I think she was probably born in 1835. Even in 1851 she is not with her parents. Her place of birth is given variously as Strand, St Martins, or Charing Cross. I have not found any convincing baptisms. I looked for soldiers called Charles Warner, and the best candidate I can find was born in Stonham Aspal in 1794. He joined the Coldstream Guards at Ipswich in 1816, and served as a private up to 1838. His WO97 service record is on findmypast. His occupation is given as labourer. There is no mention of any wife or children. My hypothesis is that this Charles Warner is the same one who died in 1846, with death registered in St James, Westminster. He was buried on St James, Picadilly, age 53 (findmypast and familysearch). I recently bought the death certificate, which gives his occupation as labourer. The informant is his wife, Lydia. I can't find Charles or Lydia Warner on the 1841 census. Lydia remarried in 1849, which gives me her maiden name, Steward. I have found her with her husband Robert Kirby on the 1851 census. This gives her age, 36, and place of birth, Ipswich. I haven't found them in 1861, but by 1871 Lydia is a widow again, back in Ipswich. Apologies for such a long post, but I thought it worth giving what evidence I have, as it is a bit thin. The main connection to tie these people together is that Charles and Lydia are both from Suffolk. Also there is a Westminster connection - the Coldstream guards were often in Westminster, where Charlotte was born. Sometimes they were posted to Ireland, which may explain the lack of a baptism. Or perhaps Charlotte was baptised in Ipswich. There is a baptism in 1842, in St Martin in the Fields, for a Charlotte Warner born in 1835, but her parents are William (a soldier) and Elizabeth. There is a Charlotte Warner born in 1832, to Charles Lloyd Warner and Jane Ayton, but I am sure she is not the right one. Of course, it is possible that Charlotte did not know her father's name, and made it up! Mary --------------------------------------------------
