Find Ancestors

Hi Mary,
I am looking for relatives of my great grandfather Harry Hipkiss born c. 1893 in the Birmingham area, he married Jane Elizabeth Jones & had my grandfather Frederick James Hipkiss (known as Jim) in 1919, they also had at least 6 other children I know there was Slylvie, Margaret, Vera, Edith & an Archie (known sometimes as Harry). I hope you can help.
Kind Regards

Kim

Mary, I know it's a while since the last post - but if you're still able and willing I'd like to know more about William Jackson born c1831 in Witney, Oxon. I've got him on the 1871-1901 censuses - if you can locate him on any earlier ones I'd be very grateful. Thanks very much! William

Hi Denise, I have found the following for 1841 reference Louisa Wharton: Living in High St,Thame William Wharton age35 Ag Lab b Oxfordshire Susan Wharton age 30 b Oxfordshire Louisa Wharton age6 6 b Oxfordshire James Wharton age 4 b Oxfordshire Edward Wharton age 2 b Oxfordshire I think I need to find the Howlett and Wharton families in 1851 and 1861 for you + the Lesters. This may take a while as none of the CDs are indexed,but thay have been waiting 100+years to be found so a few days will not make any difference. Kind regards Mary

Thankyou very much for those lookups, Constance. Regards Mary

Hello Mary 1901 census Living in Willenhall,Staffs Thomas Kennedy 76 Head b Mayo,Ireland Julia Kennedy 74 Wife b Mayo Harry Bethley 19 Grandson Coal loader b Portobello,Staffs It gives no info about Thomas's occupation. Living at Hardingham Road,Hingham,Norfolk Lewis Beales 55 Head Ag Lab b Ringland,Norfolk Caroline Maria Beales 50 Wife b Thuxton,Norfolk No other persons living with them. Regards Mary

Hi Denise, Now I am really confused with regard to David Howlet's wife(wives).To try to clarify the situation I have checked who they were according to the censuses I have available and they are as follows: 1871 Louisa age 36 1881 Susan age 46 1891 Louisa age 60 1901 Louisa age 68 It seems to me that the Susan is a mistake and that the person I should be looking for a birth is Louisa Wharton born c1835,this will not be easy as the records for BMDs did not start until 1837,so it will have to be parish records,which I do not have.I will look on the 1841 census tomorrow to see if I can find her and her family. I will put a message on this thread Kind regards Mary

Hi Constance, Could I ask for 2 people on the 1901 Census please. I have found them on the search page, but would like to know who else is living with them. Thomas Kennedy 76 b. Mayo, Ireland. ( Now living in Willenhall, Staffs) Is he a retired policeman? Lewis Beales 55 b. Norfolk, Ringland. Regards Mary

Hello again Denise This is from 1871 census: Living in Friday St,Thame Walter Lester 34 Head Haytier b Thame Maria Lester 37 Wife b St Albans,Herts Emily Lester 9 Daur Scholar b Thame Frederick Lester 8 Son Scholar b Thame George Lester 6 Son Scholar b High Wycombe,Bucks Herbert Lester 4 Son Scholar b Thame 1881 Emily was living in Ealing and working as a cook for a family called Duhamel. I have not yet been able to find the rest of the family in 1881. If you need more help get back to me. Mary

Hi Deb Yes Kingham is in Oxon but a search of 1851 census did not show any of the Townsend family.Could they have moved back to Mickleton as it seems the mother is no longer with them. Have you any idea which workhouse Elizabeth may have been in ?Chipping Norton or Witney are the most likely if they had stayed in the area. sorry not more positive regards mary

Hi Deb I am sorry but I cannot find a place called Mickleton in Oxfordshire,I believe it to be in Gloucestershire. I have looked and searched the 1841 census for Oxon and cannot find Mickleton,where did you get your info that they were both living in Mickleton in 1841?Do you have written proof that is where they lived? Regards Mary

Hi Mary, I have found some new names in my family tree to look-up. So wondering if you could have a look for me Please. Mary Ann Munday b 1854/55 Stoke Row Oxon. Married Thomas Stratford in 1879. On the 1881 census gives birth in Stoke Row, so not sure if that is right or not. I just got my Gt Grandmother's birth certificate in the post, this is where I got her name from. Trying to see who her parents were if possible, and did she have any siblings. Thanks for any help with this one, Mea.

Thought I would revive this lookup thread. Mary
