Find Ancestors

Hi Tracy I sent the image to you on Sunday 6th I will send it again now. Let me know if you get it. Mary

Hi Penny I am really sorry but I have been through both the 1841 and 1851 censuses twice for your folks and cannot find Yates in Great or Little Bourton(1841) or Eaglestone in Bladon(1851). Some of the 1841 pages are totally unreadable(even with the eye of faith) and therefore cannot guarantee they are not there.....but. Regards Mary

Thanks Mary for sending the image,brilliant. i appreciate your time and efforts. Thanks again Tracey

Hi Mary, if you are still doing lookups. 1841 Census Hannah MITCHELL born Spelsbury, Oxfordshire father John MITCHELL Many thanks Ros

Hi Mary, I would be very grateful if you could look up Oxfordshire 1841/51/61 looking for a Henry Quartermain (may have been spelt Quartermaine). Born in St Aldates Oxford between 1842 and 1848 (I think 1842 possibly more accurate). His father was Thomas Quartermain. I have picked him up in London on 1881 and 1891 census, but can't get further back. Thank you very much. Sheena

Hi Mary Could you please see if there are any families with the surname Brain living in Blechingdon please in 1851, especially a Sarah Brain aged around 8 or 9 born in Bletchingdon, father's name Thomas Brain, who was a coachman, courtesy of Sarah's marriage cert. Could you also see if they are on 1861 as well please. That is all I know on them so far. Thanks Ben

Lynda, Sorry I found no Barwicks in Somerton on 1841 or 1851 Oxon census. Mary

Both Maria and Sarah are working as servants in Oxford and if you message me with your email addy I will send you the images. Regards mary

Hello Mary Could you please look up on 1851 and 1861 for a John (Poss James) Montrose Hicks born OND 1847 in Wolvercot ,Oxfordshire Thank You Deborah

Mary could you please look in the 1841 and 1851 Oxfordshire census for a William Powell born Banbury in 1805ish and wife Ann 1814ish born in Ireland. Trying to find if any children. Thank you. Iris

Hi Mary, Can you PLEASE lookup the following families on the 1861 census on ancestry for me. l have the names from the index. James L. Pafford b.1823 Hampshire residing Hampshire Frank Pafford b.1827 Middlesex residing Lancashire Thanks for your help Rachel

Hi Deborah The only family that I could find on the 1851 census in Wolvercote with a child of the right age is as follows: William Hicks Head 66 Widower Ag lab born Wolvercote J Hicks Son 27 Married Ag lab b Wolvercote R Hicks Wife (I think it means Wife of J Hicks) b Derby John Hicks 3 Grandson b Wolvercote W Hicks 2 Grandson b Wolvercote The census entries are shown as I have written them with initials only (not very helpful) and I cannot check on the 1861 as the books for the Woodstock area which includes Wolvercote have been lost and no records are available. I hope this info will be of use to you. Regards Mary

Thanks Mary thats great Deborah

Hi Sheena I am sorry but I have not been able to trace any Quartermain,Quartermaine,Quartermane,Quarterman families in St Aldates,Oxford in any of my Oxfordshire censuses. I suggest you try to trace Henry's birth record and send for his certificate which will give you a more accurate record of where he was born. Searching the earlier records is not easy as they are not indexed and the 1861 census on Ancestry has glaring mistranscriptions throughout( I cannot find my families by searching as ALL of the surnames are misspelled). Regards Mary

Hi Mary, Thanks very much for your help. I will keep trying to find his birth. He just seems to keep changing his age on marriage certs, and 1881 census and death! If I can get more details and you are still doing look-ups I will perhaps try again. Regards Sheena
