Hi Rachel thanks for looking for me. keiley

Hello Rachel, Please can I ask two look-ups? 1. The marriage of William Cheesley/Cheeseley to Hanna Bond, probably Marylebone pre 1844. 2. Apprentership record for John William Cheesley/Cheeseley who was born Chelsea 1871. It would have been pre 1889 as he was enlisted into the army about then. Thank you. Jay

Hi Rachel I have two requests, firstly could you the marriage of John Dickson and Ann (surname unknown) around 1826 possibly St Pancras or St James, Westminister. And secondly trying to find the apprentice details of William Robert Hamlin who was a organ builder.

Hello Rachel, Thank you for your kind offer. I am interested in any apprentice details for the following: John Hall b 1831 John Hall b 1858 William Henry Hall b 21/6/1859 Frederick Charles Hall b 7/12/1860 Thomas Panter Hall b 17/9/1868 Albert Edward Hall b 26/2/1871 George Hall b 24/6/1874 William Henry John Hall b 26/6/1881 John Hall b 1885 Edward Ernest Montague Hall b 6/2/1885 Frederick Charles Hall b 25/9/1886 Harold Robert Sydney Hall b 5/2/1887 Walter Charles Nelson Hall b 13/1/1891 Herbert George Hall b 2/7/1894 Victor Stanley Hall b 9/9/1896 Henry Albert Hall b 17/1/1901 Leslie Coot Hall b 22/5/1906 They were all born in London and were butchers and I am told that at least one of them (not sure which) was a master butcher. Sorry for the long list! Simon

Hi Rachel, were you able to find anything for my marrige look up, message no 2 on this thread? Cheers Lynn

Could you see any one named SHOLL they where all Thames Watermen/Lightermen and served as apprentices. Thanks Carol

Hi Rachel Would you be so kind and have a look for marraige of Thomas Woodcock in huntingdonshire also apprentice records for Henry Woodcock in Middlesex/Paddington. On 1901 census he was a cheesemaker Thanks Kath

Hi Lynn, Sorry I must have missed you when typing the replies yesterday. The only details I could find were in the vicar general marriage licence applications. They were for a Stowell and a Warr, on 18th June 1808. I do not get the first names or places so cannot tell if it is your Samuel. the society of Genealogists may have more information as that is where much of British origins data comes from. Kind regards Rachel

Sue, Nothing is coming up for the Rackham marriage but if you are interested 2 George Rackhams come up for the militia attestations in Norfolk. Also some more Rackhams from Suffolk. Let me know if you want the details. Rachel.

thankyou for your offer could you look for a Samuel P. Grayston born in 1829 and see if he comes up in the apprenticeship index thank you Margaret

Hi Sheila, Sorry, nothing comes up for the apprenticeship for Thomas Henry Davies. This is the best that comes up for William Whitehead, it is Militia attestations. William WHITEHEAD Born Bermondsey, Enrolled to West Surrey Regiment TNA refernece WO96/30, Sequence no - 417 - this doesn’t give me a year I only know it is somewhere between 1881-1895 The index records give the last name and first name of the militiaman, place and county of birth, and The National Archives reference. So you can get the original from the National Archives. . They show the following details: name and number birthplace (can be anywhere in the world, including America, Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa, as well as all over the British Isles) age whether British subject current place of residence where they have lived for the previous twelve months occupation present employer's name if an apprentice, name of master, date and place of indenture marital status number of children under 14 years of age whether they have been in prison whether they belong to the army or navy whether they have served in forces and if they have any pension if they were rejected for the services, on what grounds number of years to serve full description including marks statement of services: there are questions regarding service abroad, whether wounded, special instances of gallant conduct and medals; injuries in or by Army service. name and address of next of kin (In some instances show the mother, brothers and sisters and their addresses; the addresses can be world-wide.) The Attestation was filled in at the time of recruitment, and if a man was found to be medically unfit all his details remained on file. So even if your ancestor did not serve as a militiaman there may be something about him in these documents. Do you have their marriages? This came up in the Boyd's marriage index: 1828 WITEHEAD WM BATEMAN BETT ENFIELD MIDDLESEX I hope this helps, Rachel

Hi Lynn, Sorry nothing is coming up for William Sampson and Elizabeth. Regards Rachel

Hi Jay, Sorry nothing for Wiiliam Cheesley or varients, and Hana Bond. Or for the apprenticeship for John William Cheesley. There were some earlier Cheesley in the 1700's. if you want them let me know. Rachel.
