Hi! Can anyone advise of where I can get information pre the middle of the 1700s for Coventry or surrounds? I am looking for, eg. birth of William Odell circa 1752 who married Sarah Townshend (born 1756) in 1775 in Coventry. The Odells were Ribbon Makers and Elastic Web Weavers in Coventry. Also I have located a possible marriage of Sarah's parents, John Townsend and Elizabeth Wilkins in 1741 at Lighthorne, Warwick. This was the only entry around the time period. How feasible is it that the marriage is the correct one? Would there be any way of confirming it? Any assistance appreciated. Marie

Hello List If you come across any farmers in Warwickshire censuses 1891 & 1901 who were born in Cheshire, could you please let me know? I've located over 80 so far. Unfortunately, the one website that suggested the census transcriptions were indexed by occupation didn't have Warwickshire available!! Many thanks. Jacqui

I have been trying to "decipher" some legal documents (below) from my HIGGINSON rearch, but still a bit in the dark...... Any help is appreciated! Suzy in TX Regarding the term "enfeoff", I found this online definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfeoffment "Enfeoffment Under the feudal system, enfeoffment was the deed by which a person was given land in exchange for a pledge of service. This mechanism was later used to avoid restrictions on the passage of title in land by a system in which a landowner would give land to one person for the use of another. The common law of estates in land grew from this concept." ~~ "LANDOR OF RUGELEY (STAFFS.) AND BISHOPS TACHBROOK" Catalogue Ref. CR 1908 Landor family of Rugeley, Staffordshire Savage family of Bishops Tachbrook, Warwickshire SAVAGE AND LANDOR OF BISHOPS TACHBROOK DEEDS RELATING TO ELSEWHERE IN WARWICKSHIRE BERKSWELL "Marriage settlement of Robert Higgenson, son of Thomas Higgenson gent. and Anne his wife of Coventry and Joanna Torkesey, daughter-in-law of William Holbech of Fillongley, gent., whereby in consideration of =A3443. 16s. 11d. and =A317 worth of linen, plate etc. paid by William Holbech and Joanna, Thomas and Anne Higgenson enfeoffed Stephen Hales of Newland, Coventry esq. and Holbech with a capital messuage now or late of Roger Roden, John Anstie and named closes therewith enjoyed, 20th Sept. 22 Jas. I - ref. CR 1908/148 - date: 1624" ----------- "22d year of James (1624/5), a fine was passed enfeoffling Stephen Hales and William Holbech, upon trust, for the benefit of said Thomas Higginson, the elder, and Ann his wife, and afterward for the benefit of the said Joanna Higginson by the name of Joanna Torkesey; and that about the month of Aug, 1649, the said Robert Higginson died in Virginia, and by virtue of the said fine the said Joanna and her heirs become possessed of the benefits of the said trust. The said Stephen Hales *** Stephen Hales of Snitterfield, co. Warwick, grandchild and heir of the said Stephen Hales, deceased, and Mary Holbech, grandchild, and heir of the said William Holbech, deceased, are subject to the trusts aforesaid. It further appears that Barnabas Holbech was the father of the above mentioned Mary Holbech, and that she is under 16 and not able to give possession of the property etc. There are other considerations involved, as Robert Higginson died possessed of a good estate and his relict had 500 [pounds] of it. Answer of Mary Holbech, through her guardian, Arthur Calley, does not claim any interest or title in the estate." ---------- "Suit in Chancery, I Aug., 1650 (H. 93. No. 41): Thomas Higginson of Berkeswell in Warwickshire complains that in July, 1650, Joanna Higginson, widow and relict of Robert Higginson, late citizen and printer stainer of London, deceased, in consideration of 280 [pounds] for her better maintenance and the preferment of Lucy Higginson. the only daughter and heiress of said Robert and Joanna, and now living in Virginia, agreed to sell a certain messuage and lands in Berkeswell, now in the joint bands of Roger Roden, John Bird, and John Anstie or their assigns, and now or late in the occupation of the said Thomas Higginson, heretofore in the tenure of his parents." ~~~

G'day All I have set my husband to making a stile so we do not have to abseil to reach the mail box. I remember simple wooden steps through the hedge row in the Warwickshire area so I had no idea there were so many kinds of stiles depending on where you live in the UK- until I found a wonderful book "The Forgotten Crafts- a Practical Guide to Traditional Skills" by John Seymour Publishers Alfred A. Knopf New York 1984 and 1984 Dorling Kindersley Ltd London ISBN 0-394-53956-7 There are some very interesting sections with illustrations and information on skills which our ancestors may have possessed. For example Wheelwrighting, rope making, lime burning, thatching , ladder making, clog making, tanning and curing, chair making etc etc. There are pages showing the tools used and examples of finished work - so if you are keen to "pad out " the family history It may be worth trying to find a copy through interlibrary loan. There are some pre loved copies available online -and also "Forgotten Household Crafts" by the same author. I have been looking at the illustrations of coracles but have not put an order in --- YET. Happy hunting Wendy Warwick List Admin.

Hello List, My Maddox links are thought to go back to the 1680 period in Birmingham, but this is yet to be confimed. I do however have Census information from the 1851 for this family in Nuneaton area and do know they moved to the Lichfield area Moses Maddox is buried in the Nuneaton area with his two wives one who came from Redbridge in Essex where he shows on the 1841 Census his son moved to the Oxford area I have his marriage certificates and birth of his children whoApart from two left Oxford for what was then Surrey most of the family from the early period appear to have been Saddlers and Harness makers in the Surrey area (Nunhead) they changed from Case makers to gun case makers before moving again to Camberwell and later Hommerton I do have a list of names who they married but seem to have gone on to long now, now so I shall get Back Thursday.

Hi I found this site which some may find beneficial for finding relatives in Australia. This particular page is for men who were granted Mercantile Navy Certificates. It shows their name, year of birth and place they came from as well as the date of the certificate. I found a G. Philip Tandy, born 1838 Birmingham, who was issued a cert April 30, 1872. There are more for other areas such as stafford, yorkshire, etc. http://www.hotkey.net.au/~jwilliams4/mercc1.htm Hope this helps someone.

Hi Pickard, I technically Still Away Boating - but today's a Rest Day, so I've dived home on the bus for some serious Cat-contact and e-mail Culling... But on a flying visit to Birmingham Library - we're currently moored "almost" outside it - I've just found a *FOURTH* different Warwickshire! In addition to The Ancient County The Registration County; and The Administrative County in 1911 - at least - there was also The Parliamentary County... It has a different area to all the others - but I can't work out what the differences are! YET... So you'll probably be getting - after my Formal Return - an Excel file.....

Cheers Wendy Boland Warwick List Admin. >From FFHS NEWS >>>>>>>> PARLIAMENTARY ARCHIVES CALL ON FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETIES The Parliamentary Archives are calling for Family History Societies to come forward to help transcribe a number of eighteenth century Slave Trade petitions. The transcribed petitions will feature on www.parliament.uk/slavetrade, a comprehensive website about Parliament's complex relationship with the British Slave Trade, being launched on May 23rd. To coincide with the anniversary of the 1807 Act to Abolish the British Slave Trade, the Parliamentary Archives made available a transcribed version of the biggest surviving parliamentary anti-slave trade petition - a document over 5 metres long - which was sent from Manchester in 1806. In just four weeks the documents on the site have been accessed nearly 24,000 times. The Manchester petition was transcribed with the help of the Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society - see April 2007 edition of the FFHS Ezine for more information on this. There are many other such petitions in the Parliamentary Archives from places all over the UK. "We would very much like to be able to make more of them available but to do this we need the local expertise and manpower of family history societies", said David Prior, Parliamentary Archives. Anyone interested in taking part in this project should email: slavetrade1807@24hourmuseum.org.uk The petition from Manchester will be on display in the exhibition The British Slave Trade: Abolition, Parliament and People which will be in Westminster Hall from 23 May to 23 September 2007.

Hi Heather, Try looking at a more definitive source - PPP - the index lists RIGBY, John, Jane, and T, and was transcribed by me, so it must be infallible <vbg> Luckily I haven't returned the fiche to the BMSGH yet, as there are several more to index when I get a moment ....... p.11 # 12 In loving memory of JANE beloved wife of John RIGBY who died January 1924 aged 71 years, Also JOHN, beloved husband of above, who died August 20, 1925 aged 69 years. On p.1 there is a reference to T. Rigby who served in the Great War, and evidently survived to tell the tale, as his name is below those 'In Memoriam" as an 'also served'. Of course as it is much later than 1837 it probably doesn't get a mention on the NBI Happy Hunting, Pickard ----- Original Message ----- From: "The Quineys" <pquiney@post.com> To: "Warwick Mailing List" <WARWICK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2007 7:33 PM Subject: Re: [WAR] Little Packington > Don't know what dates you are looking for but have checked Little > Packington entries on National Burial Index v2.
