Hello all I am new to this list although I have been researching in Sussex & Dorset for several years and have found the relevant rootsweb lists very helpful. I am beginning a different line on behalf of an "in law" and wondered if anybody on this list is researching a similar line. I am looking for descendants and/or ancestors - or any related people to Edward W Wilson, who I believe to have been born in Shustoke, Warwickshire (Reg Dist: Meriden) in 1897. I believe his parents to have been Thomas and Mary, older siblings Thomas H and Millicent H. Edward married Isabella Mansell in 1921 ( born Cirencester) and I am researching for one of their sons. I would also appreciate advice on which Record Office would hold these records - would it be Warwick? Thank you in advance for any help that may be available Wyn Burgess (Mrs) Hove, Sussex
According to the information on Genuki, the Meriden Registration documents are transferred. You can find the details on http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/meriden.html There is a link to the new offices, with email, so you could email and check they have those files before applying. Alternatively, order a certificate on-line direct from ONS. HTH.

Hello Wyn, I am researching WILSON. My WILSON interest is a Job WILSON who was born in Blakesley in Northamptonshire in 1807 where he was descended from a line of millers of Maidford, Northamptonshire. Some time between the 1841 and 1851 censii Job moved to Coventry where he set up a bakers and grocers business. I have had a quick look on Ancestry, and it looks like your Edward is linked to the WILSON family of Bourton upon Dunsmore - the 1901 census contains the following names: Name Birth Year BIRTHPLACE Relation Civil Parish County/Island Edward W Wilson abt 1898 Shustoke, Warwickshire, England Son Shustoke Warwickshire Mary A Wilson abt 1854 Coleshill, Warwickshire, England Wife Shustoke Warwickshire Millicent H Wilson abt 1890 Shustoke, Warwickshire, England Daughter Shustoke Warwickshire Thomas Wilson abt 1854 Bourton, Warwickshire, England Head Shustoke Warwickshire Thomas H Wilson abt 1888 Shustoke, Warwickshire, England Son Shustoke Warwickshire There is a WILSON family who I believe to have been linked to my Maidford WILSON family who were in Bourton-upon-Dunsmore in the 1820s. I will do some more digging when I get back from work.

Hi All Yesterday I sent a message to the list, including the following line "I am new to this list although I have been researching in Sussex & Dorset for several years and have found the relevant rootsweb lists very helpful." Wow! I was not disappointed you came up trumps! Thank you, Ken, Jacqui, Wendy and Betty for your very useful tips and advice - they will all be followed up. A special thanks to Peter, who sent me a lot of data re the Wilson family and may yet turn out to be related to my brother in law, a current 'Wilson' All this AND within 24 hours of posting the original message. Thanks again Wyn Burgess ------------------------------- 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
