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.
