Find Ancestors

Lyla Oh ******! But thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to look. nell

Hi Nell No luck I'm afraid. I searched 1799-1802 as it was not a busy church but there were no Marsdens in sight. Sorry Lyla

Lyla If this is possible, I would be very chuffed. Marriage in St Sepulchre Reuben Marsden and Priscilla unknown, abt 1800/01. Many thanks in advance. Nell

Hi Evie I had a wander round the printed book section but couldn't find anything relevant . There was a whole section of law books and lists but they were all from the 1900s. Its possible they have others in storage but I didnt ask as it was busy and I would not have time to order them up in any case. Sorry Lyla

Hi Lyla I would be very grateful if you could do a lookup for me in the Guildhall Library. I am looking for John BALDERSTON who was an attorney/solicitor. I know he was practising in the 1790s in Oundle, Northampton but would love to be able to trace him earlier. I believe he may have originated from London/Middlesex. Copies of the Law Lists, where solicitors were listed, are held in the Guildhall Library Printed Books under Occupations section. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a reference number online. If you could possible check a directory or 2 from the early 1790s I would be exceedingly grateful. Many thanks in advance. Kind regards Evie

Thanks Lyla, that info is brilliant & fits in with what I already have. The 'Willow Square maker' seems to be what one of the certificates says - now I just have to find out what it actually entailed :-)

Hi Sue LEVOIR George 25 Aug 1818 Parents George & Mary Ann of Phipps Street, shoemaker, born 26/6/1817 ROBERTS Catherine 16 Jun 1822 Parents George & Elizabeth of Old Cock Lane, Cabinet Maker born 21/10/1817 Note also same date/details Rebecca Roberts born 19/5/1822 LEVOIR George 15 Oct 1848 Parents George & Catherine, born 18/9/1848, French Polisher (sorry couldn't decipher address - Harni Hoer?) QUAINTRELL Henry 18 Jul 1841 Parents Henry & Mary Ann of Old Castle Street, Willow? Square? Manufacturer (or similar), 3mths 3 wks QUAINTRELL John Charles Thomas 2 Feb 1851 Parents Henry & Mary Ann of New Nichol Street, Victualler born 16/3/1843 or 1848 Sorry Sue, as usual my ability to read old writing has let me down! Lyla

Lorraine 16 Feb 1843 John Henry son of Horatio Nelson and Hannah Spinks, Porter of 3 Row? Court born 14? Feb 1843 Rachel I'm afraid the St George the Martyr records are held at the LMA For the first two baptisms it just says they were from St Brides. For George Alfred it says they were from New Street Square and that Thomas was an engraver. Hope this helps Lyla

Hi Lyla, if you get the time would you be able to check St Leonard's Shoreditch baptisms for: LEVOIR George 25 Aug 1818 Parents George & Mary Ann ROBERTS Catherine 16 Jun 1822 Parents George & Elizabeth LEVOIR George 15 Oct 1848 Parents George & Catherine Also QUAINTRELL Henry 18 Jul 1841 Parents Henry & Mary Ann QUAINTRELL John Charles Thomas 2 Feb 1851 Parents Henry & Mary Ann I'm particularly interested in Henry's occupation as it always seems to be indecipherable on certificates & censuses! TIA Sue

Lyla, Could you look up the following for and verify: Marriage: Thomas Owen and Amelia Plank May 1794 St George the Martyr Hanover Square (taken from Pallots Directory) Baptism of Edward Owen Saint Andrew Holborn 25/5/1807 Parents Thomas Owen and Amy. Baptism of Robert Edward Owen Saint Andrew Holborn 2/6/1812 Parents Thomas Owen and Amy. Baptism of George Alfred Saint Andrew Holborn 17.11.1816 Parents Thomas Owen and Amy. Many thanks for your kind offer of help. Rachel

Thanks Lyla, that;s great, any little bit of information is brilliant, All the best of luck to you, Regards Michael

Lyla Thank you. I appreciate you looking for me. Shirley

Rachel All it said was 31/1/1796 Charles George son of Thomas and Amelia Owen of Leather Lane. I didn't look for the other children as it was a very busy church and would take ages to trawl for all of them. If you have the exact baptism dates I can look them up for you or just search a particular year. The baptisms after about 1813 are more likely to give you the fathers occupation. Michael Again not much info, it just says 22/4/1792 Willm Edw Goodyear son of Wm Hen & Sarah, Somerset Street Shirley 26/8/1829 they were bachelor/spinster of parish married by banns. Geo Yarrow the serial witness was there as usual and I really couldn't read the other surname - John OBruery or John J Bruery or something else entirely - Sorry! Lyla

Hi Patricia Unfortunately you haven't given me enough information. There are so many parishes in the city of london that it is impossible to search all of them so I need you to tell me which parish you would like me to search and between which dates (see my first posting on page 1). Have you looked on familysearch.org to see if there is a likely baptisms or marriages that would be worth a look? Lyla

Hi Lyla Thanks for your kind offer. If you have time please can you look for the birth and marriage of Benjamin Irving. He was born in 1832, this date ties in with the censuses. He was born in Holborn, although on one of the censuses it says St Pancras. He married Lucy Coomber around 1858/59. I can't find him on the 1851 census (I wondered if he could have had a different first name that he didn't use). Thank you. Patricia

Hi Lyla Once again I hoping you can give me any extra information on the wedding of WILLIAM HALLETT and MARIA JONES. It took place 26 Aug 1829. St Leonards. Many thanks Shirley

Hello again Lyla, next time you go to Guildhall Library,if you have the time can you look at the Christening details of William Edward Goodyear He was Christened in April 1792 at St. Botolphs Without Aldgate. Regards Michael

Lyla, Thanks for your kind offer. Can you check these IGI records for me. I am interested in whether an address or parental occupation was also given. Anyway here goes.. Charles George Owen Christened 31.01. 1796 Saint Andrew Holborn Parents Thomas Owen, Amelia Plank Batch no. Dates Source Type Printout Sheet P010516 1781-1805 0374355 Film 820685 00 I know they had other children Elizabeth 1798 Thomas William 1802 John William 1804 Edward 1807 Emma 1809 Robert Henry 1812 Henry Robert 1813 and George Alfred 1816. From what I know they were born in the parish of St Bride's and Christened at Saint Andrews. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated. Hope this is ok. Many thanks Rachel

Lyla, Thank you very much indeed for looking at the Carver/Exall marriage. Elizabeth is one of my Carvers I'm pleased to say. I'm very grateful to you. Kind regards Barbara

Thank you once again Lyla, the information on the Daniels twins is brilliant, and very much appreciated, All the best and good luck to you. Michael
