Hi Jess I am trying to find a John Shaddock 1800c he was a shoemaker and he was living in Birmingham in 1850. My information I am afraid is very sketchy but could you see if you can find him on 1851 census? Thanking you Claire

CLAIRE MAYBE...HE IS A BOOT AND SHOE MAKER, ANY OF THE CHLDREN RING ANY BELLS? Sorry, caps lock was on! 1851 Ann Shaddock abt 1810 Birmingham, Worcestershire, England Wife Redditch Worcestershire Elizabeth R Shaddock abt 1849 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Redditch Worcestershire James C Shaddock abt 1847 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Son Redditch Worcestershire John Shaddock abt 1809 Bristol St Jacobs Head Redditch Worcestershire Louisa J Shaddock abt 1836 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Redditch Worcestershire Oratia A Shaddock abt 1842 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Son Redditch Worcestershire Richard H Shaddock abt 1851 Redditch, Worcestershire, England Son Redditch Worcestershire Selina A Shaddock abt 1838 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Redditch Worcestershire Susanna C Shaddock abt 1845 Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Daughter Redditch Worcestershire

Hi Jess I think this could well be my man or one of the relatives. In my research shaddocks keep cropping up all over the place and I cannot quite tie them in. All I know is that his daughter Sarah married in 1850 and the name of her father is John Shaddock shoemaker. Thank you very much I am sure this could be him and it gives me a bit more to work upon. i have another Shaddock who originated from Bristol so I am hoping to link them together. Thank you again Claire

Hi Jess I am actually after the images as I had them before but my PC messed up and I lost certain files. I still have certain info as to what the addresses were. Would it be too much to ask for the images if so no problem. The person I'm after is Tom Hardy b1867 Holbeck Leeds in 1891 hes living at 3 Pickering Court in Holbeck Leeds in 1881 living at 14 Frost Fold Holbeck Leeds 1871 living at 26 Potter Street Hunslet Leeds Thanks so much Jess Zoe

Hi Jess This is one heck of a long shot. I am looking for a Henry Sockett. The only info I have is that he was a barrister at law. In Cardiff in 1831 he defended Richard Lewis (Dic Penderyn) who was hanged for a crime he didn't commit. Not a lot to go on I know but it's all I have. Chris

heather- cant see your last request - was frances calling herself fanny in 1871 by any chance?

Chris- No Henry Sprockett showing 1851 Wales anywhere not sure what i'd find on census and alike - you may find something in the Times newspaper archives though- Merry Montgommery is your 'man' for that really

Jess, Thanks for trying. You wouldn't believe how elusive Henry is. Even the transcripts of the trial are not at the PRO. I don't think I'll ever find him Regards Chris

anita - you really need something a bit more concrete to go on- like where were any that may have been alive in 1901 been born, especially with a name like THOMAS In a place as big as Birmingham, what was his mothers name and maiden name - his birth cert will tell you both of these facts

Jean- what will indentify him? there is 5 for a starter - not are born Bridlington though View Record Arthur Berry abt 1873 Huddersfield, Yorkshire, England Head Dalton Yorkshire View Record Arthur Berry abt 1874 Doncaster, Yorkshire, England Son Doncaster Yorkshire View Record Arthur Berry abt 1874 Lepton, Yorkshire, England Head Lepton Yorkshire View Record Arthur Berry abt 1873 Sowerby, Yorkshire, England Head Sowerby Yorkshire View Record Arthur E Berry abt 1875 Bradford, Yorkshire, England Son Bradford Yorkshire

Jess, Thank you, marvellous result. 1861 is a mystery for the Smithers in Chobham I think they hid under the carpet..... I expect Frances could have been Fanny do you have a possibility if so ? I am certain they are in Chobham, have got James in 1851 aged 17, and his family in 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901, very nice progression. Frances (wife) was Frances Crane if that helps (my g. grandparents). You are so kind and up very late ? I have to go to work now 8.30 Friday am in Oz !! Heather
