Find Ancestors

Hi Mary,Only me again , hope you are having a good time with your rellies from Aus. Will you please find me any census on this family Aldbrough 1247/9/20 1841 William ALDERSON, 29, Ag lab Mary, 25 James, 3 William, 2 Elizabeth, 1 In 1851 he's mistranscribed as William ABERSON born 1813 Greata Bridge (which should read Greta Bridge and is in the Romaldkirk area). They are still in Aldbrough and now have 8 children This is from a 1841 look up regards June

Mary I was just checking some family papers and it appears Arthur Oliver Lamberts' (formerly Baldwin) father was Charles Baldwin. I know nothing else about him other than he was deceased when Arthur married Dora Hill in 1900. I have tried finding more about him on the web through my limited resources both in Staffordshire and now Kent but cannot find anything in Births Marriages or Deaths. As I say 'limited resources' By the way would you like to try and sort out a proverbial 'Skeleton in the cupboard' ???? Regards Norm

Hi Mary Thank you for the latest info. You know I wish they had been a little more imaginative with the forenames in those days, it makes following the tree a little confusing when you have 4 Johns 5 Williams 5 Elizabeths 4 Annies etc etc etc. particularly when Mother and Father named there first born boy and girl after themselves. Yippee.....so far I am the only Norm Regards....Yippee (sorry Norm)

Hi Norm OK this is what I have for you. On looking for Arthur Baldwin I found that he was in fact boarding with the Hill family in Bloxwich(i stupdly did not at the time connect that he was the one that Miss Hill married.He is aged 20 a Coal miner driver born in Faversham,Kent. Assuming that he changed his name after his teens I found this possibility,although place of birth is not right ,nor the age it could be the right person,but I could not find anyone else who remotely fitted known facts. 1881 William Harris Head 34 Parish church verger b Staplehurst,Kent Fanny Harris Wife 36 b Lenham,Kent Arthur Lambert Nephew 3 b Aylesford,Kent living at 45 High Street,Aylesford,Kent 1891 1 Anchor Cottage,Aylesford William Harris Head 44 Church Sexton b Staplehurst Fanny Harris Wife 48 b Hollingbourne,Kent Arthur Lambert Adopted 13 b Aylesford In view of the fact that he changed his name to Baldwin you will need to find his birth registration,to try to find his parentage.I think it highly likely that his mother was not married when he was born. I also found two of the Hill brothers in 1901 in Bloxwich : 87 Statherton Lane,Bloxwich Joseph Hill Head 26 Locksmith b Bloxwich Martha M Hill Wife 23 Tailoress b Leamore Staffs Samuel J Hill Son 1mth b Leamore Back of 36 Park Road, Bloxwich Samuel Hill Head 23 Coal miner loader b Bloxwich Elizabeth Hill Wife 21 b Cheslyn Hay,Staffs Samuel O Hill Son 11 days b Bloxwich It look as if the occupations were incorrect on 1891for these two,and I could not find David Hill on 1901. Who the Grandsons belong to is a mystery.Will have to do more digging. The Singleton rellies are finding it a little cold as the daytime temp is only about 7C!!!!after the frost has thawed.Wish we had come to you Regards Mary

Thanks Mary that's brilliant, Regards Michael

Hi Mary This will get you away from your Singleton rellies for a while. Say G'day to them for me. If you want another break from the living could you follow up on my last 'message' about the Lamberts from Staffordshire. Regards Norm from Perth

Hello Mary, a while ago someone did a 1851 census look up for me for Joseph Daniels b abt 1817 Shoreditch and his wife Phoebe Daniels b abt 1819 Chelsea and their children, also there was a Anne Scott living with them described as dependent on family, I've seen the image and the last name on the image shows a Thomas Scott living next door to the Daniels. Would you be able to give me the details of Thomas Scott's family as only his name is on the image i saw, Would appreciate details if you could let me have them. Regards Michael

Hi Helen Sorry I could not find your Ellen Ames on the 1851 census. Glad to get away from the living rellies for an hour or so,so thanks for giving me something to do. Regards Mary

Hi Tina Not sure that I can be of much help as my census records (and indeed all census records available)stop at 1901. You may do better to get on touch with the Oxfordshire Family History Society who may be able to give you some info. I know that there was a family of Alders in Oxford who were butchers and I believe Grocers but this was in the 1950s and 60s. I quick look at the 1901 census shows many Alders in and around Oxford,but without dates etc very difficult to be sure that you have the correct family. Sorry Regards and good luck Mary

Hi Mary, I,m looking for info on a Robert and Henrietta Alder from Oxford, We believed that they lived in the Hinksey area of Oxford. They had a son and a daughter around 1920's. Sorry but this is all we have to go by. Any help would be grateful. Thanks Tina

Hi Mary, Thank you for look up now i know where they came from lol Your family must be mad to come here for Christmas i would of gone there lol regards June

Hello again Mary, thanks very much for looking for me anyway Regards Michael

THank you Mary and Jess for the Pearce info. Not sure where Stony Stratford comes into it all, not even sure if these are related to my Pearces from London and living in Northampton but I've got to explore every avenue. Thank you both again Love Chris

Hello Mary, can you look on 1851 and 1861 census for any sign of Sarah Goodyear b abt 1787 Aldgate London please Regards Michael
