Would anyone know if there is a Warwickshire Marriage Index and if so can it be consulted for details, as I am looking for the marriage of a (male) POINTER or PAINTER prior to 1674 in the South Warwickshire area. Any details would be much appreciated, the brides Christian name would be Mary, many thanks David Judd

I have a RICHARD DUCKETT born circa 12 June 1774 presumably in GAYDON who married HANNAH TIMMS 27July 1797. Richard dies in 1840. Somehow the family ends up in Fenny Compton. Have no info on Gaydon as a place or why Richard Duckett was from there. Cynthia in California ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hello Campers. This week's Village People GAYDON "Gaega's Hill" Just off the main Banbury to Warwick Road so I expect a great many people have travelled through and perhaps stopped at the old coaching inn . According to the book " Warwickshire Towns and Villages" (Geoff Allen) the highwayman John Smith carved his name on a beam while waiting to be taken to Warwick in 1789 where he was tried and hanged . Format for your posts is as before Subject:- Village People- GAYDON Names & dates of your surnames interests there. Brief outline if you wish . Any resources or snippets of information you may care to add Good Hunting Wendy Warwick List Admin

Hello, my connection to Gaydon is the name of BAKER, my GGGrandparents were William Warwick Baker died 1895 and his wife Alice died 1905, both are buried there. William was a wheelwright, he worked for Flemmings and I believe that he may have lived in the thatched cottages opposite The Malt Shovel. I have an article that was sent to me from the Gaydon WI book of 1956, it names JACK ARNOLD, HARRY PHILPOT, WALTER LIDDINGTON,WILLIAM BARRADELL, EDWARD TAME ,THOMAS FLEMMING,Snr.,THOMAS FLEMMING,Jnr.,FRED STRONG. I have a photo of some of the men that worked a Flemmings, so if these names ring a bell, let me know. Kind regards, Brenda

Hi All, There's a nice present day photo of GAYDON at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3986 My surname interest in Gaydon -LANCASTER Barb Stacey Solihull UK

Hello Gus Many thanks for that. It certainly sounds very logical. There is nothing that I can see on IGI which fits (marriage of John Jesson to ? Smith) and not knowing which parish within Birmingham she was likely to be baptised doesn't help me find her or her mother's name. (And I don't live locally to pop into the records office :-( ) Think you're right about having to find her on 1841 and 51. Think I need to sub to Ancestry again (I only sub for a month at a time - it's cheaper :-) ) Thanks for your ideas - much appreciated Heather Q Gus Tysoe wrote: > Hello Heather, > > From the consistency of her estimated birth-dates as reported at her death > and in the censuses of 1861-81it would seem that she was likely born in > 1831 - perhaps 1830; less likely 1832.

Hello Heather, >From the consistency of her estimated birth-dates as reported at her death and in the censuses of 1861-81it would seem that she was likely born in 1831 - perhaps 1830; less likely 1832. It would follow that she at least told the truth about her age - as being 21+ - in 1854. But to me the largest area of doubt arises from her middle name of Smith... It was by no means unusual for a *son* to have a [grand-]maternal surname as a 'second given name', but it was far less frequent for a daughter, although that did happen. *Unless* she was born illegitimately to a Miss SMITH who subsequently married a John JESSON (who could quite easily have been her natural father) and grew up with JESSON tagged-on as a 'courtesy' surname. It could well be worth your while looking for such a marriage - hopefully in the early 1830s - and then for the baptism of an illegitimate Sarah SMITH. The place you really need to try to find her is in the 1841 - with all the doubts that information from that will bring - for it'd also be highly likely that by 1851 she would have 'left home' some years earlier, epecially if she had a number of younger brothers and sisters. HTH Gus ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Quineys" <pquiney@post.com> To: <warwick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2007 9:05 PM Subject: [WAR] Sarah Smith JESSON - Birmingham Hello list I'm wondering if anyone can help, or has come across 'my' family of JESSONs. I have Sarah Smith JESSON marrying into my HINTON family in 1854, Edgbaston. She is 'of full age' as is her groom, Thomas Hinton. Her father is listed as John JESSON, shoemaker. I can trace her following her marriage through the census returns from 1861 - 1891 inc. I *think* I have her as a visitor in 1901 (so difficult to confirm), but I cannot find her before her marriage (1841 and 1851 census) or her family at all! She is consistently recorded as being born in Birmingham, Warwickshire. Her age is 29 in 1861, 40 in 1871, 50 in 1881 and 70 (!) in 1891. She dies in 1903, Birmingham. I keep thinking that with a fairly unusual name of JESSON (so I think), it should be easier then it's proving. Any help, finds or ideas would be very welcome :-) Heather ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WARWICK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Could anyone tell me if there are any records for Rugby Baptist Church. Thanks Marion

Arlescote is within the parish of Warmington in the south of Warwickshire. According to Phillimore's Atlas, the earliest deposited registers are 1636. It might be worth asking the Warwick RO if they have anything earlier. The BTs held at Lichfield RO only go back to the 1660s.

MY REPLY to Mike about Bulkington: Thanks for putting the list of Bulkington Wills on the website; I'm especially interested in the MARTIN and SPENCER entries. My gr-gr-grandfather is Thomas Martin SPENCER, born in Coventry in 1792, but he may have been born near Coventrt, rather than in the city. One of the English census entries says he was born in "Warwickshire County." Are you researching families in Bulkington?

I know I'm knocking on a bit and the old grey cells aren't functioning quite as well as they used to but what have bank managers to do with the closure of the FRC and Charani's response to your original mail? I'm afraid I can't see the connection.

Here are some Metropolitan bank managers in 1911, from Whitaker's Almanac, that might interest someone. The bank was formed in Birmingham. It became the Midland - now HSBC.
