RIP Philip David Hall 1957-2007

Trawling through family records and recording births, marriages and deaths of distant relatives and ancestors can sometimes distance you from the fact that these were real people, with families and friends that loved them.

Today, we buried my uncle, Philip David Hall at Milton Cemetery in Portsmouth. He was aged just 50 and had been unwell for some time, fighting against problems caused by diabetes. His ashes were buried in the same plot as his brother, Martin John Hall who died in 1997, aged just 37.

What can I say about Phil?

Phil was one of the good guys. He had a heart of gold and would, and often did, help others often to his own detriment. Phil had many friends that will remember him for his charitable nature, ready wit and love of bacon butties.

Although I've not seen Phil too often in the last few years, I'll remember him for his influence on my upbringing, taking me on trips around the UK on his deliveries as a van driver and for inspiring my love of snooker.

I'm privileged to have known him.

James Cowdrey

There are plenty in my tree, people who appear in the census for a couple of years and then just simply disappear without trace. This one is worth commenting on, for future reference at least.

Born c1849 in Brighton, Sussex.

1851 England Census: James Cowdrey listed as the son of William Cowdrey and Henrietta (Stillwell) in Brighton. Birth year shown as 1844, but suspect that this is due to age 1 being mistranscribed as age 7.
1861 England Census: James Cowdrey listed as a servant, still in Brighton.
1871 England Census: Off in China aboard the 'Dove'.

Then no record.

In the Ancestral File on FamilySearch, marriages:

Spouse: Maria Elizabeth MADDOX
Marriage: 18 May 1879, Camberwell, London, England

Spouse: Harriett Jane BARNES
Marriage: 16 Mar 1889, Southwark, London, England

There is a marriage record in the BMD index for James Cowdry and Maria Elizabeth Maddox that matches, but no confirming record in the 1881 England Census. The Ancestral file also lists a son, Frederick born 1879 who also fails to appear in 1881.

There is no corresponding marriage record for the Harriett Barnes marriage in the BMD.

Another of life's mysteries. Perhaps he went off to sea and settled abroad somewhere?

Which William Twine

I have a marriage record in the Bosham Parish records for William Twine and Susannah Dudding, married in Bosham on 09 August 1770. Unfortunately, the record doesn't list the parents of either of the couple, or any other information for that matter.

I've been unable to locate a death record in the Bosham or Fishbourne Parish records for William either, so it's difficult to confirm his birth date that way.

Assuming that William was born in Bosham, there are two possible records:

05.10.1744 born to Thomas and Jane Twine
17.08.1735 born to John and Mary Twine

Searching on Ancestry, I found another user that had the same marriage in their tree, and had listed Thomas and Jane as the parents - perhaps they have some information I don't? I've sent a message via Ancestry to find out!

If William was born in 1735 the following would be true:

• Married aged 35
• First child at 36
• Last child at 62

Stranger things have happened, Susannah would have been 49 when the last child was born!

Spalding Confusion

Researching my Spalding links in Suffolk:

Having located my ggg grandfather, John Spalding born c1826 in Fressingfield, Suffolk, I managed to establish that his parents are John Spalding and Sarah through the IGI. Further to this, I established christening records for John's (1826) siblings;

Sarah Anne in 1819
Charlotte born in 1820
Louisa in 1823
Mary Anne in 1827

In tracing their descendants, I became puzzled by other records in the IGI listing a marriage record for Charlotte Spalding in 1840 in Fressingfield, Suffolk to Robert Riches; Charlotte is shown as the daughter of James Spalding and Hannah, but her birth date is 1828 in Fressingfield.

Charlotte and Robert Riches are listed in the 1840 Census, with Charlotte's birth date being C1820. They are listed again in 1851 with their children and, interestingly, Charlotte is listed as the sister-in-law of the head of household, Benjamin Collett. Benjamin's wife is Sarah Ann.

Again, in the IGI the marriage record for Sarah Anne Spalding shows the parents as James Spalding and Hannah Rose, with her birth date as 1830 in Fressingfield. In 1851, Sarah's birth date is c1820 in Fressingfield.

I surmise that the data in the IGI is a mistake. There are matching birth records for both children as daughters of James and Hannah in the IGI also and I believe that they have mistakenly been linked to the marriages of Collett and Riches.

Rebecca or Sarah Jay?

In tracing the Emmerson line down through the Suffolk area, Mendham to be precise, I uncovered the following conundrum:

1891 Census, George Emmerson (c1844, Mendham) listed with wife Sarah A R Emmerson (c1847, Mendham) and daughter Louisa L M Emmerson (c1887, Mendham).
Marriage register: Sarah Ann R Jay.
In 1901, the only George born 1844 in Mendham is married to Rebecca (c1846, Mendham), with daughter May (c1887, Mendham).
In 1881, Sarah A R Jay is listed with mother Lydia.
In 1861 and 1871, Rebecca is a servant and then visiting, respectively.
In 1851, Rebecca S Jay is listed with parents Lydia and Edward.

There
is no matching May Emmerson listed in 1891, and no Louisa Emmerson listed in 1901. However, a birth record in Hoxne (registration district for Mendham) lists May Lydia L Emmerson in Oct-Dec 1886.

My conclusion is that these girls have a penchant for being know by both christian and middle names and that these are one and the same family.

John Amor

John Amor was born in Pewsey c1856 to Henry Amor and Charlotte Watts. Whilst there's a marriage record for him with Sarah Ann Bailey, there happen to be two John Amor's born within two years of each other in Pewsey.

I need some proof of which married Sarah Ann.

Watts Confusion

In researching my wife's family tree, I'm tracing the family of Anna Maria Watts, b 1877 in Pewsey, Wiltshire. Her parents are William Watts b 1835 in Pewsey and Eliza Heath b 1841 in Pewsey.

William's parents are John Watts, b1812 in Pewsey and Hannah, b 1812 in Oare. It is with John that the confusion lies. Here's what I know so far:

John is listed in the 1841-1871 Census records with his wife and family, but Hannah died in 1875. John is then listed as an Uncle of the Head of the household in 1881; this being Charlotte Amor.

In tracing Charlotte back through the records, she was born Charlotte Watts, her father being John Watts b1769 in Pewsey and Elizabeth (probably Bezant) b1786 in Pewsey.

So here's the weird thing, if her uncle is 1812 John Watts, how can her father also be called John Watts? The only explanation I can think of is that 1812 John is her father's uncle, but the dates just don't work out.

In the IGI, John's parents are listed as John Watts and Elizabeth, too. My assumption, therefore is that they are siblings, particularly as they are listed next door to each other in the 1841 census. I suppose that there's every possibility that Charlotte listed him as 'Uncle' as he is uncle to her children.

JCB: A cousin by marriage

Well, I was nearly right on the money: J C Bamford is the Great Nephew of Samuel Brassington Bamford, according to Bamford Limited.

It appears that Samuel and his father, Henry Bamford created a business in Uttoxeter manufacturing agricultural equipment and machinery that was then run by Henry and four of his brothers. One of these brothers, Joseph, had a son named Cyril, who in turn had a son, Joseph Cyril Bamford. Joseph worked for a time with the business before setting up his own business, JC Bamford (Excavators) Ltd.

Hawthornden House and the Bamfords

Following my Hawthorn line back through the records, I've located a Dorothy Bond Hawthorn (my first cousin, 5 times removed). Dorothy, like most of the Hawthorn's in this part of my tree, lived in Uttoxeter and the surrounding areas in Staffordshire. She married a gentleman name Samuel Brassington Bamford in 1875 and in 1901 is living in Hawthornden House, pictured.

More interestingly, Samuel was an 'Agricultural Engineer (Machinery Dealer)'.

Hmm. Agricultural machinery? Bamford? Uttoxeter? Any possibility that this relates to one Joseph Cyril Bamford, or JCB?

There's a job for another night, although I have located the birth record for Joseph in Jul-Sep 1916, mother's maiden name Turner.

Fulfords of Devon

Well, you can't choose who you're born to, huh? Looks like one of my family lines did all right for themselves, the Fulford family from Devon that, according to wikipedia

is one of the oldest families in England and continues to occupy the same manor as was granted to their ancestor by Richard I of England in about 1190. There is evidence to suggest that the Fulford family pre-dated the Norman Conquest and were being confirmed the lands they already owned. The present house dates back to the 16th Century.

Francis Fulford (1953-) (one of a long line of Francis Fulford's), still lives in Fulford Manor (pictured) and is "celebrated for his prolific swearing, dire straits and excellent sense of humour." He is the author of Bearing Up: The Long View.

From British History Online:

DUNSFORD (St. Mary), a parish, in the union of St. Thomas, hundred of Wonford, Crockernwell and S. divisions of Devon, 7 miles (W. by S.) from Exeter; containing 925 inhabitants. In the parliamentary war, the manor-house of Great Fulford, here, erected in the time of Elizabeth, was garrisoned for the king by Colonel Sir Francis Fulford, whose family have resided at this place since the Conquest; but the garrison surrendered to Fairfax, in 1645. The parish comprises 5878a. 2r. 5p., of which 4900 acres are arable and pasture, 300 coppice and woodland, and 600 covered with furze. A fair is held on the Monday after September 8th. The living is a vicarage, valued in the king's books at £19. 10., and in the gift of Baldwin Fulford, Esq., who, with others, is impropriator: the great tithes have been commuted for £245, and the vicarial for £365; the glebe comprises 7 acres, with a house. The church has a plain Norman doorway. A house of industry was built in 1828, at an expense of £700.

John Fulford 1809-1888

In the ancestral file, way, way back, I have a relative named John Fulford (I'll work out the relationship some other time) who was a Captain in the Royal Navy, retiring as a Rear Admiral in 1877. He even has a harbour named after him in Ottawa, Canada, having served as Captain on the HMS Ganges.

A little Googling reveals:

[Saltspring Island]....Captain Richards when surveying here evidently wished to associate the island with Rear Admiral Baynes, commanding at the time, 1857-1860, the Pacific station, his flagship, staff and officers etc. He therefore named the highest mountain Baynes, and the island Admiral; Ganges harbour after the flagship; Fulford harbour after the captain; Burgoyne bay after the commander; Southey point after the admiral's secretary; Mount Bruce after the previous commander in chief; and Cape Keppel after a friend of Admiral Baynes."

Named after Captain John Fulford, HMS Ganges, the flagship of Rear Admiral Robert L. Baynes. Born 1810, died 1888.

His illustrious Navy career is catalogued here, a useful site for Naval research, no doubt.

Rather typically, not a Tillison in sight..

Caroline Fishlock

Two images of Caroline Fishlock, kindly submitted by a fellow researcher.

Caroline is my wife's great, great, great aunt. Interestingly, I can see some similarities between the face of the young boy on the left of the picture and my father-in-law. Or perhaps that's just wishful thinking....

Caroline was born in JFM 1853 in Pewsey, Wiltshire to David Fishlock and Martha Ashe, Caroline married Jonah Razey in 1872. It is likely that the two boys are Henry John Razey, born 1879 and Tom, born in 1873, both in Oare.

Government Petition to Release Census data after 70 years

Yay! The power of democracy. Someone started an E-petition to get the PM to release Census data after just 70 years instead of the current 100 year rule.

This would allow census information from 1911, 1921 and 1931 to be used by the general public researching their family history in the absense (or failing memories) of their elderly relatives. Birth, Marriage and Death information is already available so why is information about where people lived hidden."

Whoa! Some Investigating To Do

I finally stumbled upon a family of significance.

It seems possible that I'm descended from the Sydenham family of Dorset, wealthy landowners some of which fought in the Civil war in the 17th century. Records in the tree on www.familysearch.org reach back as far as 1087.

Howick's of Sussex

On 21 September 1828, Edith Howick married William Bundy in Bosham, Sussex, according to the Parish register transcripts I have.

Thus far, I've been unable to establish the parents of Edith Howick.

I did start a small study of the Howicks in the Bosham area through the Census records, anticipating the small number of them to be related. www.familysearch.org includes unverified records submitted by users, some of which list:

Edith Howick, born 3 July 1812 in Bosham, Sussex. Her parents are listed as
John Howick born 10 July 1781 in Stoughton, Sussex and
Mary Ann Sydenham born 1791 in Bosham.

Whilst I concur with the John and Mary Ann, the Sydenham bit just doesn't quite fit.

1. There are two Mary Ann Sydenham records in my Bosham Parish register transcriptions: Mary Anne Sydingham born to William and Elizabeth in 1791 in Bosham and Mary Ann Sydenham born 1803 to John and Ann (Summers, I'm pretty sure), also in Bosham. I'm pretty confident that this John is the son of William and Elizabeth anyhow, should that be important.
2. My parish record transcriptions don't list a Bosham marriage for John Howick marrying anyone, let alone Mary Ann Sydenham. However, they do list Mary Ann Sydenham marrying Francis Stephens from Birdham on 21 February 1809.
3. I can't find Francis Stephens from Birdham in the 1841 or 1851 Census records, or a Mary Ann Stephens for that matter either.
4. There is a marriage of John Howick and Mary Ann Sydenham on 4th July 1811 in Westbourne, with a William Sydenham as a Witness (see point 1). This looks like a much more likely candidate. Westbourne is just 4.1 miles from Stoughton and 6.1 miles (on current roads) from Bosham.

So, it's pretty likely that the familysearch records are correct on the parentage, but wrong on their marriage date and location. Which means that my small Howick study has not been in vain either! :D
