How about we all do some brick or stone wall postings then? We all have them... You never know we might find some connections out there with a new found cousin or 2... Look forward to seeing you soon. Linda and Tony (List Admin)

Hi I have a "brickwall that I`ve tried to get down for 4 years. I`m looking for any records of my great grandmother Catherine POWELL and the only three records that mention her are concerning her daughter Agnes Selina POWELL. I have AGnes`s birth, marriage and death certificates which hhave no mention of a father I only know that Catherine was a servant at Joys Green in 1874and that in 1884 she was desrcribed as "late of Ruardean" Agnes was born in 1874 and in 1896 married my grandfather William ALLAWAY at Lydbrook Any suggestions as to my next move in this search@?

I have a big stone wall in the shape of Jessie JAMES. Jessie first appears on the scene in 1891 with her widowed mother: 1891 census Gloucester Mary A James 38 widow b London Middlesex Head girls school Jessie 11 b London Middlesex daur home scholar Fluker, Charlotte W 72 Hampton, Herefordshire Mother Living at 117 Oxford Road,Gloucester in 1901 they are still there: 1901 census Gloucester Agnes James head W 53 Headmistress Girl's School own Ac At Home b London Jessie do dau S 21 Teacher in do do b. do Flossie Wade niece S 14 Boarder in do b. nk Douglas C. Gough Boarder S 22 Grocer's Assistant Worker b. Rodley Glos Living at 117 Oxford Road, Gloucester She married the lodger Douglas Gough in 1902. She said her father's name was Charles James. In 1903 they had a son Reginald James Gough. In 1904 Douglas died of pneumonia. In 1906 she married Wilfrid Tapscott and said her father's name was James James. They had a son in 1907. Wilfrid left home and was never heard of again. (Until I found him!) In 1914 Jessie married Arthur Price, a greengrocer aged 40. She said her father's name was Henry Fluck. I have no more on her and can find no deaths for her or Arthur. Where did she come from? There is a red herring in 1881 with another Mary James in Gloucester, also a school teacher: 1881 England Census No 13 Brunswick Sqr., Littleworth, Gloucestershire, England Mary James abt 1841 Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales Head School proprietress Jane A. James abt 1846 Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales Sister do Elizabeth James abt 1807 Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales Mother do Elizabeth Wheeler abt 1836 Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales Sister do Harry P Powell abt 1872 Clapham, Middlesex, England Boarder Scholar Thomas A. Washbourne abt 1870 Barnwood, Gloucestershire, England Boarder Scholar Emma Avery abt 1861 Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England Servant I don't believe these two Mary (Agnes) James are the same person. If so, where was Jessie in 1881? I believe she was most likely illegitimate and that Henry Fluck was her grandfather. If anyone can help unravel her story I would be very pleased ----- Original Message ----- From: <Knightroots@aol.com> To: <WESSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 12:05 PM Subject: [WSX] stone or brick walls > > How about we all do some brick or stone wall postings then? > We all have them... > You never know we might find some connections out there with a new found > cousin or 2... > Look forward to seeing you soon. > Linda and Tony (List Admin) > > > > ==== WESSEX-PLUS Mailing List ==== > Are they called brick walls because there is always "mortar" find > > Hampshire Parish Register transcriptions at:www.knightroots.co.uk > www.knightroots.co.uk >

I'm an American trying to find English roots of Thomas GERMAN (or JARMAN) who resided in Maryland in the late 1600s. I would like to learn more about the Thomas GERMAN who was indentured in Bristol in 1662 and bound for Maryland. I'm wondering what became of Thomas and Henry GERMAN (or JARMAN) christened in 1632 and 1635 in Wiveliscombe, sons of William GERMAN (or JARMAN). If the William buried there in 1646 was their father then they were orphans - what records might I find of orphans in that time period? Is this the Thomas GERMAN bound for America in 1662? Where is Henry? Are there any other candidates for the 1662 Thomas GERMAN or JARMAN? Thanks.
