PEPPER; NTT,ENG; 1820-1840 The Parish records of Whatton show a marriage on 25th Nov 1822 between William PEPPER and Sarah KEMP. They had 3 children baptised at Whatton. James 1823, Mary 1824 and Elizabeth 1826. There are no records of the family at Whatton after this date. Is this family known to anyone? Where did William and Sarah come from? Are they the same William and Sarah who appeared on the 1841 census for Long Bennington LIN? (James, Mary & Elizabeth not on the census with William & Sarah) Any help appreciated.

WILLIS, Henry; Kingswood, GLS,ENG; -1860 Henry WILLIS is listed in the 1881 Census as coal miner residing at Cheltenham in Bitton/Oldlands with wife Fanny (HEMMENS) and four children. Where is the district of Cheltenham or New Cheltenham in the Bitton/Oldlands district? Henry was the organist for Holy Trinity church according to my aunt. Does anyone researching the name WILLIS in Bristol area have any leads on Henry's predecessors? I have been unable to nail down a birth date for Henry. IGI lists two Henry WILES, one christened 01/Jan/1834 to John and Anne Wiles of Cheltenham and the other christened 24/Apr/1840 to Thomas and Anne Wiles of Pauntley I favour the former as the names John and Anne are common in the tree. Any clues welcome at this time. Michael Willis 620 22 Ave SW, Calgary, AB, Canada, T2S 0H8 [email protected] "Michael R. Willis" <[email protected]>

SKERRITT / SKIRRITT; ENG > CAN / USA; 1785- I am looking for the marriage of John Skerritt and Alice_______ around 1786-87 probably in Lincolnshire or some adjoining county in England. Their children were born in the Grantham Parish but I don't find their marriage. There is a fair representation of this name in the Grantham Parish for at least 100 years, but I'm missing my connectors. My research has led me to Canada as it appears that some of the descendants went to both the US and Canada. If you have any sources for this information such as marriage indexes where you could do a look-up for me I would greatly appreciate it. If you happen to run across any other Skerritt marriages in the process I would appreciate knowing about those too. Each new piece of information seems to put another piece of the puzzle in place.
