Find Ancestors

Welcome to the boards, Phil.

It's a couple of years since Elaine started this thread, and she's probably not looking here for replies now.

You can try sending her a private message - just click on her name at the top of one of her posts.

If she still uses the email address she registered with GR, they'll be able to notify her by email that there's a message from you in the GR system.

If you're lucky, she may be able to receive, read, and reply to it.

Hi Elaine, William Stovin is also My Gt, Gt, Grandfather. I'm descended via his son Alfred Farrow Stovin and my grandmother Annie Stovin. Happy to share what I know of my part of the Stovin family if you want to get in touch. Regards, Phil.

That's wonderful Elaine- it's always more exciting researching family when you know the area well

Yes Quoy that is mine :-)

yours ?

Gritty - thank you. What I find amazing is that I work in the same street as William did in 1841!!

Across the top of the car park wall there are arches with plaques of the original street names, Black Boy pub is further up the street, I wonder that I walk on the same cobbled stone street as he did all those years ago ... WOW.

William must have been earning quite a bit to pay fines like that :-)
He & his father were both listed as tobacco pipemakers.

I dont have the census records 1841-1861 for William Snr but have all the later ones.

Quoy - thank you for that link .... indeed, I may be gone awhile!!
Just browsed a few old records which are now in print so much easier on the eye!

perhaps you would like to wade through this lot ,you can download them to keep or read and search them online all free

Thanks for the replies, I have all the information for William and his descendants, the census records posted are the correct family. Its the Parish records I'm struggling with prior to Williams birth.

Sorry, Elaine, I can't find anything other than what you've already found, the records of which Ann has posted.

Parish records are notoriously patchy, of course - many have not survived, and many BMD's weren't recorded in the first place - it depended on the person keeping the records (or not keeping them!) in each church.
