Was reading Philip Styles's "Studies in 17th Century West Midlands History" and found mention of Bicknell family. "...had been carpenters...for four generations...." These are Fenny Compton Bicknells noted in the book which refers to the Bicknells in that area in the 1670's. I realize that Bicknells were all over Warwickshire; however, thought you might want to know that they were in Fenny Compton for centuries.

Hello List, Thanks to all those people who answered my call for help. Ray Hudson Perth WA

Hello, I too am looking at a Mary MANDERS. In 1861 she is in Birmingham with William BRAMWICH born in Coventry, brick layer.She states she is Aunt. In 1841 she is living in Coventry with I pursume was her husband, William MANDERS, bricklayer. And also, William BRAMWICH of coventry age 16. That is all that have found on either the MANDERS oR as far back as I manage to go so far with William BRAMWICH. I certainly could use a little shove in the right direction.. Do you have any info on this MANDER or BRAMWICH family? Regards, For I am a storyteller with a tale to spin....

I have a transcription of the last will and testament of Richard JOHNSON of Marston Jabbett in the parish of Bulkington, farmer. It was transcribed for a display by NNWFHS. Richard JOHNSON will dated 1833, probated 1834. Original at TNA. Jacqui

This is cheating (more than a bit)! When I was born during WWII my parents lived on Bulkington Lane - no 30 - I think! My maiden aunts, Pem & Nell GREEN, lived next door. But Bulkington Lane was in Nuneaton - I think. Have lots of photos - garden plans and house plans. Anne Paling SHEFFIELD, U.K.

Hi My husband's 2x Great Grandmother Mary MANDER married Henry GOWER at Studley 31st October 1836. We believe that she was born c1818 give or take a couple of years in the Whitacre or the Studley area. We have that age from the different census reports. Plus Mary says on the 1861 census that she was born at Whitacre. We are aware that there were 2 Mary Mander's born in that area around 1818 both with a father William, one was the daughter of a Farmer, the other the daughter of a Gardener. We believe our Mary was the Gardener's daughter, but we are not sure. An interesting point is that the witnesses at the marriage of Henry and Mary were Joseph and Mary GIBBS. We know quite a lot about Mary Gibbs as she was also formerly a Mary Mander who was christened in 1807 at Nether Whitacre - father William, mother Mary BOULTON, This Mary had a sister Elizabeth. It might well be that the 2 Mary's are connected in some way, perhaps cousins. After Henry's death, Mary married a further 2 times. First to Thomas Shakell in Flyford Flavel, Worcestershire and then to John HEMMING at Coughton in 1869. John Hemming was born at Great Alne. If there is anyone researching any of these Mander families, I would love to hear from them - IF only to rule them out of the equation. Eveline

Hi All, I have IZONs/ISONs living at Long Street, Bulkington circa 1872, before the family moved to Staffs. Also have TRAINs (associated with the Izons) living in Bulkington from around 1843 to at least 1861 - no street name known though.

The church records where he died (Offchurch) begin with his death. It would appers his widow and second wife may have moved back to Coventry and either took the records with her or destroyed them. I tried to find more info on him through his apprenticeship at Cheshire's Bishop's Palace, but can't find anyone there who is knowledgeable on where the old records might be. I tried the Diocese and they only referred me somewhere else that didn't pan out. A man who did his thesis work on the old clergy was going to help me and then he ran into flooding in his house and has everything in storage. Lanc is "full" of the clan as well as the city of the same name. However, they are not necessarily related as they took the surname from the place name, thus creating a huge "base" of men carrying the same surname. Interesting study on this surname already exists. They range from Lanc down into the mid-lands. The Warwick clan spelled the surname WIGGIN more often than not while the scribes used the Wigan spelling. The Vicar signed "Wiggin" although it is filed under Wigan, in his 'will' and his sons also used the WIGGIN spelling. You would think with clergy records so thorough there would be some genealogy connected to them, but if there is it has eluded me so far. I hope to come back as soon as my arm allows!
