Hi Jess. Thanks to your help last night, I am tracking the Wheelers down. Can you check the 1901 for me for Charles Wheeler aged 53 born 1847 in Odiham Hants. I have him as a baker and inn keeper on the 1881 in Odiham but it look as if he is a bricklayers labourer in 1901. Can you give me the details. Thanks

hello jess looking for the mother of frederick reed born sep 1889 greenwich vol 1d page 1004 thank john

Jess, Good morning, I hope you don't mind me keeping you informed. Apart from my immediate family the board is really my (and I believe many others) only outlet for a results success or failure. Would it be best to delete all the LDS stuff to tidy your ever busy thread. x Bob P.S added:- I actually found a GR member with Rebecca Barsby in his tree. I messaged obviously, two weeks ago. No reply..... very dissappointing because if he has her.....surely he must have HIM!!!!

Bob, Just an expression of amazement really. You have obviously been working very hard at that.Amazing results. Jess

Jess, I hesitate to ask, with all due respect, was that an opinion or a wry comment? Nothing is proved yet. x Bob

Blimey Bob, wish I had your ability to see it through like that!

Blimey Jess, so much to go on now. Four families are mine but am not so sure of Nately Scures Hants. I live in Hampshire and have never heard of it. I thought there were strange goings on with Eliza head b 1801 and Kelia wife b 1806 but they are in fact Elijah and Kesiah!! I'll check them all out tomorrow. Thanks again. I appreciate your help. Jan

Jess, I just knew you were punchy! I'm glad you have had a look at the LDS for Thomas's. You can know understand why I am now totally deranged and have recently had another delivery of japanese made calculators. Nevertheless the theory stands and I am going to make the giant step organising the appointment and visiting the LDS. I do believe I have something worth asking now. Next message down is the presis. Beer or three, xx Bob

Evening Jess. Would you help me out with some Wheelers. I have on the 1881 Census, James Wheeler born 1831 in Swallowfield Berks, aged 50. He is with Ann, his wife born 1842 in Heckfield Hants, aged 39. Can you see if they are on previous Census's and whether they have any children. Also, his brother, William Wheeler on the 1881 is aged 45 born 1834 in Swallowfield Berks. He is with his wife, Elizabeth aged 54 born 1827 Little Marlow Bucks and their daughter Elizabeth A aged 16 born 1865 in Reading. Thanks very much Jess. Jan

Blimey Bob, took a glimpse of Cooke Loughborough IGI and came up with 65, without trying!! have you sorted all that lot?!! By the way, i owe you a slap.. as if you'd ever papo...and as you can guess the second p wasn't POP originally (dont lets go there!)

Thanks very much, Jess. We have come to the conclusion that most of the Taylor family must have left the country in the 1860's. Best wishes, Bernard

Jess, How about my latest theory? The c1823 Loughborough Thomas Cooke surely wasn’t the only child of the his father Thomas....so I have been back into the LDS for some weeks..and done some maths, geography and elimination.. i.e. how many Thomas begat Thomas across 1820+ - 10yrs... my deductions give me a family group. With a village marriage 1815, mum (I‘ll keep her full name for a while), dad Thomas, an oldest son William 1815, daughter Mary 1816 and then Thomas 1820 & possibly one other. The best bit is that all the Leicester Baptisms are recorded as at least two years on from birth dates. Therefore my recent awfully difficult request.. Bob, ps. new pseudonym for me as well. Be in and out of threads tonight but will check every half hour to make sure everyone is behaving.

up to date if anyone is wanting
