Find Ancestors

Thanks for this info Vera I will look into it sounds very interesting.

Chris

Can't find a baptism for Mary Ann with father James but wonder if she could be linked to this family and mother Elizabeth re-married.

The Bland family appear again in 1851 with father now named Nicholas but no Charlotte and Mary present.

There was another child James Bland b 1844. I note that Mary Ann and William used the same names for some of their children.

Just thought I would update you I have just received the marriage certificate of william hicks and Mary Ann Anthony I am unable yet to find her birth, her fathers name was James Anthony and her was a blacksmith. I have also found another family whick has Hannah,Catherine and William Hicks but the mother is Elizabeth.

Chris

Thanks for the replies.
When I pposted my exquiry yesterday I did not expect such a great reaction from you all. It is the first time I have asked for any help (I did not know the help was there) so was not sure how much detail I should put. I am going to soldier on and cross reference the info I have been given.

Hi Christine, Welcome to GR

I,m glad people could help you .

What we here do is just what everyone has done ............BUT the first step is to make sure we are looking at the right family so thats why the first set of info was posted

I,m also a Hicks but not of this family but have spent may years chacing my tail with them Good Luck

Thank you so very much Maureen I think all of the information that you wonderful people have given me will keep me quiet for the near future. I have worked hard on finding the Hicks family history and got stuck but hopefully I can now put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Once again a very big thank you for all of your help

More possibilities:

Deaths Dec 1837 HICKS Ann St. Saviour 4 369

Deaths Sep 1860 Hicks John St Saviour 1d 6

That looks like the 1841 Catherine. All on 1841 were born out of County and John a shoemaker EDIT in the later years. Good find.

Vera

Not sure of John's occupation change!

This does look like another sister and the witness is the same:

Hannah Hicks was again a witness.

Thanks for the 1861 Ozzbird. Been searching for ages. Must remember the little asterisk. Will keep going for now.

I thought that was the marriage Maureen NY but doesn't fit with BC of father John a shoemaker. Wonder if the bc is the wrong William.

Vera

Who did William marry? Is this the marriage???

And then the following one you can see a lot of family members (and witnesses!).

I think William Hammersley is actually 75.

Hannah goes on to marry Charles Wyatt and George H Hicks and Catherine Thomson are witnesses.

Can't quite figure out who Jane Hicks is???

And still can't find young William !!
