i have got a little further on josiah twyford's family. i visited grandma, and she lent me a folder on his and his wifes families and descendants. a cousin in1914, went to england on holiday and spoke to josiah's sister and her children about the family. she edited the unsuitable things, and was apparently captured by the germans, and detained. they consiscated most of the notes.
im not sure i believe the german part, but ah well. in this folder are letters from josiah, from 1840-1867. they are too his mother and sisters. my grandma also has letters from these people. they're great, coz they give family names and addresses.
point number 1
so, i have him born in 1824, preston, lancashire. the son of william smith and elizabeth sophia twyford.
his sister mary is born in 1827.
ellen is born in 1825. they are all baptised at st john, preston, lancashire. josiah is baptised in 1824, and then again in 1825. why?
point number 2
in his letters to his mother, he says when the ship left england. tues the 26th oct, 1841. the josiah smith in cheshire in 1841 census must be him, with uncle hugh twyford. he doesnt say where the ship came from.only that there where 50 passengers. he arrived in port phillip bay, victoria on sat 29th jan 1842.
where can i find out what ship he was on?
point number 3
josiah's familt seem to have moved to cheshire by 1841.
i cant find william smiths marriage to elizabeth sophia twyford.
"william smith from scotland, was killed when in manchester, talking to someone in a shop, he stepped back and fell through a trapway into a boat in the canal" supposedly around 1828. how do i find out about this?
elizabeth married john lindley around 1828, in london goes the info. how can i find this?
point number 4
i have mary smith marrying james carr in 1848, altrincham, cheshire. i have them on all census. but mary is missing in 1841. can anyone find her?
ellen smith married john kelshaw. i cant find this, or them in the census. she is on the 1851 with her mother and stepfather.can anyone trace her? she supposedly died in 1869.
point number 5
elizabeth sophia twyford first married william smith. secondly, she married john lindley. i cant find any records for either marriage.
she died in 1855, altrincham, cheshire.
she is on the 1851 census- ho107, piece 2162, folio 405, page 6.
can anyone locate her under lindley in 1841?
i found this in 1841-wirral, cheshire. ho107, piece 128, book 2.
william smith, elizabeth, william, haue (hugh) and elizabeth. is this elizabeth sophia and william smith? is this family traceable in future census?
sorry this long, but im lost on these points. if anyone can help on any of the quesyions it would be greatly appreciated.:o
