Find Ancestors

Hi, If poss, could you look up RED LION YARD in Clerkenwell, Middlesex, surname Hicks. Thanks nikki

Lynda, Most of my or my husbands family come from London. Mainly Hackney , Lambeth and Southwark. They do not seem to have stayed in one place very long. As soon as I get an address they move. I think they must have been gypsys. I am awaiting a marriage certificate which should have an address in Lambeth around 1850 So I will be in touch. Will you be on the naughty girls board? That did make me laugh this morning. Shirley from Strood.

Thanks Lynda. Just my luck. Glad to see you have a sense of humour. All the best Shirley from Strood.

Country Cousin Shirley, I have found Church Street on the Southwark and Bermonsey disc, but it came under Church Street, New, just to confuse me, and after all that it only went up to number 58, so didn't find your Porters. Sorry. Lynda (with a Y)!! but don't really care how you spell it!

Lynda (with a y) I have been on Lost London Street names and New Church Street was in Bermondsey. Thank you for looking before. Shirley (your country cousin)

Sheila You were right Belvedere Road in 1851 came under St John District Lambeth, but I'm afraid there were no Skinners or Taylors there then, Sorry. Lynda

Hi Lynda, Thank you for your kind offer. Could you please look for my gt Grandfather/mother. They were Charles SKINNER and Emma TAYLOR I have them living in what looks like Belvedire Rd in the district of St. John Waterloo, Lambeth, in 1852 on their marriage certificate. I am not sure whether Lamberth came under London or Surrey in 1851 but I would be grateful for any help. Thank you, Sheila

Shirley Have looked in the St Saviour District and around the area, but still cannot find it. I wonder if it came just outside the the district and perhaps it's in Surrey, a real puzzle this one, I have looked at 5 discs. I will browse around as I am doing other look ups and will let you know if I find it. Lynda (your near neighbour)

Lynda Newington is a parish in London. Many of my family were married All Saints Church, in the Parish of Newington. Thats where I got address from. It is SE11 area Kennington and Elephant and Castle. The registration disrict is St Saviour. I live not far from you in Strood. I could not find New Church Street on A-Z but it could have been demolished. Thanks for trying. Shirley.

Shirley I have the discs for Newington and had a look there but there is no New Church Street. It's a new place for me never heard of Newington in London is it still there? funnily enough the next village to me is Newington, but thats in Kent. Lynda

Lynda I took address off marriage certificate. I will check it again. The wedding was in Newington. Thanks for trying Shirley

Shirley There is no New Church Street in either Lambeth or Southwark. Sorry Lynda

Lynda, Would you see who is living at 79 NewChurch Street. It is either Lambeth or Southwark. The name I am looking for is Porter. Thanks Shirley

John It most definatly looks like 11. I thought when I found them that there was a big age difference between James and William, could it be He was a son of a previous marriage, or that they married after He was born perhaps because James snr was away somewhere? Only a thought. Lynda

Many thanks - are you sure of James junior's age, as the parents only married in 1845? John

John Here are your Thorns James Head 30 ??????? Chandler born Rayleigh? Essex ELizabeth Wife ?? born South Benfleet Essex James Son 11 born Middlesex William Son 1 born Surrey with James Snr cannot be sure its Rayleigh with Elizabeth cannot read her age with James jnr and William cannot read the districts they were born in. The Simmonds family were not living at that address. Nor the Watts at Bunhill Court Nor the Smiths at Johns Row. Hope this helps. Lynda

Thanx this is absolutely brill, Lucy and Mary where witnesses at Sarah's wedding but I wasn't sure of there correct connection. I may contact you again. Penny

Please could you look up:- The Thorn family, 1 Triangle, Kennington Cross, Kennington, Lambeth The Simmonds family, 2 Brunswick Grove, Hornsey Rd, Islington The Watts family, 5 Bunhill Court, Bunhill Row, Finsbury, St Lukes The Smith family, 28 Johns Row, St Lukes Many thanks for your invaluable offer. John

Penelope, Yes Good News they were there. The copy was aliitle hard to read so where I've put a ? I'm not 100% sure of what it says, but thats my guess, Here goes John Gray Head Widow 51? Baker employing 12 men Mary Daug 23 Howard Son 20 Bakers Son George Son 18 Bakers Son Lucy Daug 15 Sarah Jane Daug 14 Scholar Charlotte Daug 11 Scholar Tom? Son 9 Scholar Sarah Saunders 19 House servant All the children were born in Bethnal Green, but John and the servant Sarah Look like they were born in Nottinghamshire or Northumberlandshire but can't be sure that what it says. Hope this helps. Lynda

my great grandmother was born Sarah Jane Gray she married in 1857 and gave her address as 92 Church St in Bethnal Green ,I wondered if she was there in 1851 and if so who else lived with her as I have no other family known with the exception of John Gray a baker being her father.
