Hi

 

Do you think the naming pattern of children in England could be a clue as to the parents of John.

Jenny

Hi

 

Thank you for this address but Peter and I have exchanged details several years ago when Peter came to Australia.

Well, the lady from Texas would need to provide proof of John's birthplace.  Be very careful to corroborate your information, and don't just assume others have it right.  Maybe she has, but........  

 

And as we have seen, and we see it all the time in our searching, the census information is not always correct.  According to the 1841, John was born in Wiltshire. In 1851 it says Marlboro', Wiltshire.  In 1861 and 1871 in Surrey.  Then in 1881 in Brentwood, Essex!  Three different counties altogether!  In the 1861 it says born "Casorton", and Mike feels this should read "Carshalton" which is in Surrey.  There is a large hospital there called St. Helier's, so it's possible he could have actually been born there.  As I said before, he may well have been christened in Wiltshire.   

 

The naming patterns could be right, but then again it is just guesswork and we need to know for sure - and the only way is through documentation.  So you will need to find the church which holds the registers.  Marlborough is less than ten miles from Ramsbury, so you may well find he was christened there.  Then you will be able to find out his parents for certain.

Hi Marian

 

Do you have anything further on John Lewington and Susanne Buckland's family, I seem to have hit a brick wall, whilst I have all the family forward from John Lewington and Mary Franklin, I can't go back.

 

Thank you most sincerely for your assistance.

 

Jenny

Hi Jenny

 

I will look into it again and if I find any more info I will post on here for you.

 

Best wishes

Marian

Hi Marian

 

Have you been able to find any children for John Lewington and Susannah Buckland as yet I can't find any family.

 

Thanks Jenny

Hi Jenny

 

I did run a parent search for them, but nothing forthcoming I am afraid.  It is probably too far back.  Once you get back beyond 1800 it becomes much more difficult.  I did find more ancestors though, as you will have seen.

 

Best regards

Marian

Hi Marian

 

Thanks a lot, maybe some where sometime I may find the elusive piece of the puzzle.

 

Regards

Jenny
