Trying to find anything about BETTY WOOD. She was born in the O.N.D.quarter of 1926 in Coventry,to Rose Wood nee Williamson and William Thomas Wood . Thank you,Maggie.

G'day All Doing a bit of thumb twiddling as a change from census work and I found this web site and wonder if the information contained therein may help some-one. http://www.durtnall.org.uk/DEEDSIndex.html <<<<<<<< This is a collection of descriptions of historical documents taken mainly from online auction catalogues, arranged by county. The Channel Islands, Ireland, Scotland, Australia and the USA are contained on a single page each, Welsh counties have their own page. There is also a page for military items and one for miscellaneous items and those with no location given. Most of the documents are indetures or other property related documents such as conveyances, mortgages, leases etc. Other documents include wills, bibles, letters, commonplace books etc. Many of these documents are sold into private hands and the information they contain is lost to researchers. In the process many collections of documents and bundles of deeds are broken up and the collective information they contain lost forever. Hopefully some of this collective information will be retained through these pages.>>> Warwickshire pages start at http://www.durtnall.org.uk/DEEDS/Warwickshire%201-100.htm but try some of the other counties such as Leicestershire as I found Warwickshire info there too. Some examples of information I found 1734 VELLUM INDENTURE concerning the county of WARWICK with 2 GOOD SEALS NO RESERVE This is a handwritten vellum indenture dated 14th November 1734 in the reign of King George II and is between Edward Jordan of Ward in the parish of Aston in Warwickshire, a miller, of the first part; Richard Turner of Saltley, a wood cutter of the second part and Elizabeth Handy of the third part. The document concerns property in Saltley, Warwickshire. There are three blue sixpenny revenue stamps and two excellent red wax seals with heraldic impressions by the "marks" of Jordan and Turner as they were both illiterate. Size. The document is approx. 27" wide x 20" high. Condition. There is a small hole near the bottom margin but otherwise in very good condition with the usual folding creases. and Handwritten English vellum indenture dated 1743 during the reign of George II being the conveyance of property "in the markett street" in Dodington in the County of Oxford between William Marshall of Farmborough in Warwick, Yeoman, and Anne, his wife, of the first part; and William Bazely, a Malter, of the second part. Nicely penned with flourishes, three blue revenue stamps with insert, tax staamp, two red wax seal on cloth tags, and nice docketing on verso. Fine condition, measures 30.5 x 19". --------------------------------------- Seems such a shame that these documents get sold off to collectors instead of to the people who would cherish them - Good hunting everyone Wendy Warwick List Admin

snip <How someone could sell their grandfathers medals is beyond me but it happens -------------------------------- I am currently disposing of the estate of an elderly lady who has died and left all her estate to charity having no living relatives. I will have to sell the medals of her late father to benefit the charities. This is an example of how things pass out of families. I also have the family birth certificates etc going back a couple of generations. If I ever get the chance to research it I should love to hand these over to a relative who is interested in family history. David Pearce No virus found in this outgoing message.

Could anyone tell me where Walton Warks. was, it was apparently around Stratford but modern maps don't show any trace of it. thanks very much Tony Matthews Brampton Ontario.

Hi MAR In my opinion I would say there is a fair chance that some of the items have been purloined from records offices or repositories where security was not so high a priority a while back However much more are simply handed down indentures, deeds etc that have either been thrown out or are being disposed of by relatives who do not see any value in keeping them except the monetary value How someone could sell their grandfathers medals is beyond me but it happens When a close relation of mine died, his wifes family got there first and literally burnt all my relatives papers of which there were many, anything else of value disappeared with that side as the will left all to his wife, I doubt if this is an isolated case I have e bay alert me to any posted items that contain certain words (names, places etc) this has enabled me to buy a few items that have either helped in my research or were items directly linked to my relatives My favourite is a ring box which came from my g.grandfathers jewellers shop in East Retford, Notts, due to the style and hence likely year, it most likely passed through his hands at some point (or at least I like to feel it may have :-) if I remember correctly it cost 2 pounds It can be frustrating at times, I missed out on a pocket watch that my g.grandfather engraved his name in the back (dated 1879) but at least I have a good picture of it Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Thanks for this link, Wendy.

Hello Margot Have you found the remaining family members in the 1851 census? This is widely available on LDS CD but if required we can supply the info - Also try the transcription of the 1861 census on Pickards Pink Pages. www.hunimex.com/warwick PETTY is a common surname in the Nuneaton and Bedworth areas. You might track down the descendants by carefully eliminating possibles using the census and burials records in conjuction with the GRO Index. Good Hunting Wendy Warwick List Admin. Hello list. I am trying to find descendants of William and Thomas Petty,

Thanks for this link, Wendy. It would be interesting to know how so many of these documents end up on the market instead of in the County Archives and one can't help wondering how many are documents that 'disappeared' from the archives in the days, not so long ago, when readers were trusted to go in and out without any security or identification. MAR in France.

Hello list. I am trying to find descendants of William and Thomas Petty, father and son who were convicted at Warwick Quarter Sessions on 30th June 1834 of stealing blankets and sheets in Fillongley. They arrived in Sydney NSW in July 1835. At the time of transportation William was aged 45 and married with two children and Thomas was aged 25 and married with 1 son. In October 1810 a William Petty married Elizabeth Wilson at Nuneaton and in January 1811 they christened their son Thomas. Other children of William and Elizabeth were Susannah b.1813, Ann b.1816 and William b.1821. I have found a marriage of Ann Petty to John Enock in 1842 and a marriage for William Petty to Ann Green in 1847. Any help with this family would be gratefully appreciated. Margot

G'day Listers, I am hoping SKS might be able to assist. I am looking for an MI for the Cemetery- Birmingham Road. Also Wootton Wawen, St Peter's There appears to be listings for the surname of Newcombe. I am searching for a Mary Newcombe, her maiden name was Sermons. She married as a widow under the name of Cottrell. Her husband was named Septimus Newcombe. Septimus married again in 1881 to Elizabeth Sheffield. He married both women at St Peter and St Paul's Church in the Parish of Aston in the County of Warwick. Mary married in 1858 and Elizabeth in 1881. My "guess" is that Mary died there and he stayed there and then remarried. I have yet to find out what happened to either of his wives. Thanking you all for your time, Melissa in OZ.

Hello list, I am trying to find out what happened to Hilda Rose Elizabeth WOOD. She was born in 1923 in Derbyshire but when her sister was born in 1926 they were in Coventry.By 1928 the family were in Nottingham but there is no sign of Hilda. I sent off for a death certificate which I thought was hers aged 2 in Coventry but it wasn't the right one.Her parents were Rose Wood nee Williamson and William Thomas Wood. If anyone can help me I will be very grateful.Thank you, Maggie.

Thank you Neil & Ann What a wonderful past, the area must be full of history . I see Cash 's started in 1840 my John Erps/Herps was a ribbon weaver in 1818 and he was already 24yrs old. I found a Letitia Erps born in Nuneaton 1795 and married in Mancetter, John was sentenced in Coventry and he stole from a shop of William Hoode . Thank you again. Jan Australia

Hi list Just looking through some census in Coventry and noticed there a lot of ribbon weavers and silk winders can anyone tell me about the industry there back in the 1800's or steer me to a good site to where the life and times of that era may be found.Thank you. Jan Australia

G'day Gang I have put the List back to unmoderated with great trepidation but if we get more spam sneaking in I shall have to put us back on moderate which is a pain and delays replies. May I remind you that this List is focused on Warwickshire- reasonable lookups request are acceptable IN MODERATION - i.e. one at a time please. If you expect us to help you then please let us know what records you have searched to save duplicating your efforts and also be clear, concise and precise on what you are searching for. Daft, uncertain questions may elicit daft, uncertain replies. <grin> It may pay newbies to find a book or magazine to swot up on basic research and what records are available. Newbie's guides abound online - so there is no excuse NOT TO KNOW that the GRO index is just that and that to find parent's names or spouse maiden names, for example, one needs to buy the CERTIFICATE - etc etc etc. A thank you on or off List is good manners whether the information supplied was of use or not. Good Hunting Wendy Warwick List Admin.

In that case you need John Russell! COVKID- John is on the List (I hope) and may reply when he has a minute. Your COVKID SITE is down again John. I can look for the INDENT - please email me OFF list with the details (esp if you know the ship and year etc) and I will see if I can find the info for you on Thursday when I make the trek to town. cheers Wendy Thanks Wendy On 28/03/1818 John was sentenced Coventry City Assize. I have'nt seen the ships indent I am having trouble finding it. Jan Australia

Hello Jan I know Sue Casey in Canada was collecting DOWN/ES from the Atherstone area. She has several transcriptions on Pickards website at www.hunimex.com/warwick I might still have her contact email address as I don't think she is subbed to the List at present. You might have to consider several spellings of the surname expecially pre 1800s- nothing was set in stone ! Cheers Wendy - Thank you for your infomation .I see there was a Letitia Erps born 1795 in Nuneaton maybe this is the spelling ,I see she was a silk winder,my John was a ribbon weaver seems like the jobs were related anyway.Letitia married William Downs 1824,Mancetter, Warwickshire. does she belong to anyone on the list that might know more.
