To my mind, Zedrick sounds like a west country way of saying Cedric - or had you all decided that already.

To Laura - as you are still a relative novice with computers and internet searching, if you click on any of the odd sentences/web addresses underlined, it will open a new web page to show a new site and possible records

it is perfectly safe to do so.

Laura - I'm avoiding your question, and going back to Violet's so you may already have most of this info:

The enumeration (on 6/7/1870 here) was supposed to reflect the status on 1/6/1870

There's lots of interesting collections at:

The one we want is: England, Bristol Parish Registers, 1538-1900

name: Oliver Charles Fivash
event: Christening
event date: 20 Dec 1870
event place: Olveston, St Mary, Gloucestershire, England
father: Charles Fivash
mother: Ann Fivash
film number: 4277414
digital folder number: 4277414
image number: 00124
Source Citation

Unfortunately there's no associated image
I've seen Durham and Lancs OPRs where they've mentioned the birth was posthumous (to the father).
I don't know if they'ld say the same for baptisms, but I think the baptism probably was posthumous (to the father).
I don't see a death on FreeBMD for Chas, but Ann's a widow by 2/4/1871 (per Debi's census).
My guess is he died in IL - maybe that's why they're all back in the UK - for the family support.
It would be interesting to see if there were any family as neighbours.

This looks like a poss marr for Ann:

It would be interesting to find Ann Britton 1851 to see how compatible she was with Ann Fivash 1871. It would be interesting to find Charles 1851 if one's going to trace him back.



A look up on Bristol PR for Oliver Fivash turns up:
his marr to Annie Sarah Tavinor d/o Abraham m 10 Jul 1895 @ Littleton-on-Severn
bp 25 Aug 1895 of Frederick John Fivash
bp 25 Jun 1899 of Alfred Charles Fivash
marr 07 Apr 1917 Frederick John Fivash & Blanche Cox d/o Charles

A search for Charles Fivash will get baptisms & marrs of some of Olly's sibs

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 9 Jul 2012 00:06

To fill readers in, the majority of the following records found by Maureen and sent by PM.

- Dorothy Fivash m Aaron G Davey in 1934

Possible children were born in 1936 and and (possibly) 1947 - no obvious UK death indicies found meaning they are either still living, died after 2006 or have emigrated.

The 1936 child has the initials C G F and the younger R F S. The second one married in 1970

He is listed on www.livingrelativesearch.co.uk in Bristol, but not on 192.com
We are not entirely confident that the 1947 son is Dorothy and Aaron's child - birth certificates should be purchased to confirm,


Dorothy's death

Name: Dorothy Davey
Birth Date: 24 Aug 1908
Date of Registration: Apr 1997
Age at Death: 88
Registration district: South Gloucester
Register Number: B5
District and Subdistrict: 3041B
Entry number: 163

Probably Aaron's

Aaron G(eorge) Davey
Birth Date: abt 1908
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1962
Age at Death: 54
Registration district: Thornbury
Inferred County: Gloucestershire
Volume: 7b
Page: 606

As Dorothy's death was in 1997, it is likely that one of her sons registered her death, and it may be possible to trace him from the details given on that.

Laura needs to purchase the DC from http://www.gro.gov.uk using the details for Dorothy Davey as above.

All along Laura has been saying that she was looking for someone whose name sounds like S/Zrederick.
Maureen and I think it more likely to be Frederick - both the sons have F as their third Christian name.

Ah. Thank you Maureen.

Have you been able to sort out records and associated sources for Dorothy? Are we to assume that it is possible he is still living?

Had a PM from Laura and have asked her to reply on the thread.

I did figure out,though,that the child she was mentioning was the son of Dorothy,not Amy. (Dorothy married a Davey).

I do think we've matched Amy up correctly.

Either Fr/Z/ederick was adopted, or he was her stepson

Sorry Maureen - really ought to go to bed. Good luck with finding the missing child!

Seems the only likely possible,DET. It looks as though Thomas died and Amy re-married. I think this is her death:

This *might* be a marriage, but you'd need to purchase it from

to be sure....unless someone can find a Parish record?

There are 4 children with the surname Burcombe and mother's maiden name Fivash shown on http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl in the thornbury reg district

Since they were born 1921, 1922, 1923 and 1938 they may still be living. None have an initial Z/F or name beginning with that.
