James Whitcombe and Sarah were both of the Parish and married by Banns
witness were ? Flowers and J. Gear (I think the Parish Clerk) Both signed the marriage cert.

William Flowers Whitcombe marriage to Henrietta Clarissa Freed both of this Parish, by Banns, with the consent of Wm Freed (his Mark)
Witness were Wm. Freed and Joseph Gear. Wm.Flowers Whitcombe signed H.C. Freed (her mark)

Baptism of William Dickson Whitcombe mother Emma of Hardway born 22/10/1832. Proffesion of father was blank!! Baptisted by H A Veck (or Vick) emcumbent of St. Johns. The baptism was at St. Marys Alverstoke.

Not a lot of extra information there but hope it helps.

Lesley.

Hi Lesley

Thanks for the look ups. It is very interesting that there were
two Whitcomb baptisms on the fiche you found, it does tie the
families together - another bit of 'useful' information.

As for William Dickson "Whitcomb", I suspect a bit of an affair/ scandal at the time!
I wonder if anyone with Gosport / Portsmouth connections
could shed some light on this, or come up with a 'theory' ??? Perhaps in
the Hampshire Telegraph, although at that time I would think that
any such 'revelations' would have resulted in 'Pistols at Twenty Paces', unlike now
when only an Parliamentary committee is set up!!!

Hello Punchs Mum,
I am seeking assistance with Peter Miller and his wife Elizabet Talbu(r)t who were married at Holy Trinity, Gosport. I suspect but cannot prove that Peter is the father of Thomas Miller who was christened at the same church. If so, Peter remarried (Sarah) before the 1841 census. The Millers have been sea-farers through the years.
There are several members of ancestry.com with an interest in this but so far nobody has "broken through the wall". I include some info below.
Thanks in anticipation.
Richard

Hi,
Is it possible for you to do a look up for me? My husband and I are really struggling with his family tree - cannot get past his gt grandfather which is very frustrating. We know that Alfred S Jackson married Lavinia Ellen Hobbs in 4q 1915 according to the BMD records. However we are unable to find any further information on Alfred S Jackson (birth or death). I am hoping that is someone is able to look up the parish records for this marriage they will be able to tell us the name of Alfred's father. (We have Lavinia's father as Isaac Hobbs).
Also we are looking for whether this couple had any other children. We have George Alfred Lawrence Jackson born 24th January 1919 (a baptism record would be helpful if possible).
Thanks for any help that anyone can give. Sooz

Hello Sooz, welcome to the forum.

it might be that Alfred married Lavinia in a registry office, in which case you will not get anything from the PRs, do you have his Birth Cert at all? this would give his parents details..

I would also think that there WILL be a birth record for Alfred, as when the law was tightened in 1875 almost ALL births were registered.

[Darksecretz]

is this your tree on Ancestry Sooz? http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/197...rson/938015622

[Darksecretz]

By having a look through the Census, I can tell you that Alfreds father was Benjamin Jackson. b. 1853 Macclesfield, Cheshire. He dies between 1891-1901 as Mary A is showing as a widow in the 1901 census.

Hi, thanks for the responses. Yes I have attached those census to my tree with Benjamin as his father. I am really not convinced that its the right family - hence wanting to have a look at the parish records to check the father of Alfred is actually Benjamin. The 1891 census shows Alfred EDWARD not Alfred Sidney, but the 1901 just shows Alfred - I know that Alfred Sidney Jackson is definately the father of George Alfred Lawrence Jackson as we have his birth certificate. I cannot find any BMD record for Alfred Sidney or death record? Perhaps he changed his name.

My tree on ancestry for the Jacksons is named Jacko's tree (the link you gave didnt work?) - under JoshJackson. I have done extensive research on the Gowlett tree which has taken me about a year, but it has been easier because of the rarity of the surname and the ease of access to parish records in Essex online, just really hitting some brick walls with the whole Jackson family - very frustrating and certainly in need of help!

Any help you can give would be great. thanks, Sooz

[Punchs mum]

Sooz,

I will have a look at the Parish Records for the Marriage of Alfred Jackson and Lavinia Hobbs when I go to town next. Probably sometime next week.

Like Julie says though, if it is a Registry Office marriage there will not be a record at the Study Centre. It would mean purchasing the Marriage cert yourself....at a cost!!

HI Lesley,
Thank you so much, this confirms my gut instinct that Benjamin was NOT his father. One mystery solved, now we have to find the census for the right Jackson family. I went onto the knightroots website and must have missed that marriage! Thanks again, your help has been much appreciated. Sooz

[SoozJackson]

Have spent the last 45 minutes looking for a birth of Alfred Sydney Jackson and cannot find one at all... Also searched for his naval records and he doesnt seem to have any records there either! All very confusing and difficult! If you have any advice on how to proceed I would be ever so grateful. Sooz

[Elaine ..Spain]

Sooz, now that you have the marriage and a bit more information, can I suggest you start a new thread in our Family History Research forum - give us what you have got and let's see if we can help. If it is left on here it will get muddled with the look up requests for Alverstoke.

Hi Richard.

Have been to Study Centre this afternoon and this is what I have found.

Hope it doesn't confuse you even more. Plenty of Millers in Gosport around the early 1800's!!

Marriage at Holy Trinity on 9/4/1807.
Peter Miller to Elizabeth Talburt both of this Parish by Banns.
Witness Ric. Welch (I assume Parish Clerk as he appeared on more records) and Elizabeth ? Bull(/Bill/Bell). Was not easy to read.

Baptisms now. All at Holy Trinity.

Hi Lesley,
Sorry for the delay in contacting you... I am in the process of selling the family home and moving to a new location.
Thanks for the info on Thomas Miller and Elizabeth Talbut. I have managed to find records on-line and there are more offspring! You have confirmed that I (and others) are on the right track. The brick wall is birth information about Peter and Elizabeth... and who were their parents. It seems likely that Thomas Miller was the brother of Peter Miller... but this cannot be assumed. The Talbuts may not have been of the parish. How is it that women were giving birth at sea... did they live on the ships?
I am not confused but I am very curious. I don't know enough about anything. How should I procede? Living in Australia makes a visit to the archives unlikely in the near future.
cheers and thanks again
Richard

Richard,

Why don't you try asking for some help on the Research Thread. There are some very experienced researchers who could help you more than I can!

If you need any more help checking Parish Records at Gosport/Alverstoke, I am here to do what I can in that direction.

Hello Ann E

Have been to SC this afternoon and didn't get your request until I got home. Never mind, will check those marriages for you ASAP. Just hope they are not Registry Office!

Keep checking back to this thread.
