A request for help from Mary Robinson, April
2010
Can anyone help please ?
I am researching my husbands Robinson Family from Apperley, Deerhurst,
Gloucestershire.
Thomas Robinson 1794 -1884 was a carpenter and first appeared in
1817 as a witness at a marriage at Deerhurst. He married a girl
from a village near, by in 1820 at St. Mary's Church, Cheltenham.
They had 6 children:-Elizabeth bpt. 1821, William 1823, Mary Ann
1825, Ann 1827, Thomas 1830, and Sarah 1832.
On the 1851 census he gives his place of birth as Amothersby, Yorks.
On the 1861 it is Swinton, Yorks
On the 1871 as Broughton, Yorks and the same for 1881.
Wife Sarah died in 1883 and Thomas in 1884, They are buried together
next to their daughter Mary Ann who died in 1874 close to the wall
of Deerhurst Church.
John Robinson 1798-1876 married Sophia Pear (later a school teacher
at Deerhurst) ,in Gloucester in 1837, their first child John was
bpt, at Tirley, just over the river Severn from Apperley. In the
register John is a carpenter
The other children are Jane Sophia 1842. James 1843, Mary Ann 1846
and William 1850 these children all baptised at Deerhurst.
On the 1851 census John gives his place of birth as Appleton Yorks.
On the 1861 and 1871 as Broughton, Yorks . He is buried together
with his wife and 3 year old son William in Deerhurst.
On the I.G.I. It gives parents of Thomas and John christened at
Appleton,Yorks. Parents William and Elizabeth Robinson married on
7 October 1781. She is Elizabeth Wilson
Before I go any further with my research can any one tell me if
Thomas and John ARE brothers or cousins or is it just coincidence
that they turn up in Apperley at about the same time.
One of Thomas and Sarah's great grand daughters Elizabeth married
John William Topham 1879 who was born at Myton upon Swale. Parents
Thomas and Mary Topham
Any help would be much appreciated.

A request for help from Elizabeth Watson of Bridlington
The first name on the family tree is John Warwick (Warrick) and
Mary Wharton who lived in Terrington, Yorkshire. Married 22nd April
1776. Their children are Edward ch 25.11.1776, John ch 27.2.1779,
Thomas ch 25.9.1781 and William ch 21.10.1784. All were born at
Terrington.
John Warwick married Elizabeth Lion born circa 1781 at Benithorp.
They owned a farm called Newstead Grange Farm at Thornton Dale or
Marishes. Two children show up on the 1841 census, George born 1825
and Jane born 1828. This would have made John 44 at the time of
George's birth. I suspect that there are earlier brothers and sisters
who are missing. The 1851 census form refers to grandchildren of
John and Elizabeth Warwick being at their address. Can these siblings
be traced through Thornton Dale parish records?
George married Hannah Ireland of Ebberston on 11th August 1855 at
Ebberston (copy marriage certificate obtained), and they had the
11 children listed on the family tree. If any details of christenings
or marriages could be found in the parish records that would be
good. Also, I understand that there are nine burials mentioned in
the parish records prior to 1907. Again, this would be interesting
to have. However, if time is short, I would prefer to have information
on the following, which is proving a bit of a mystery.
I would be interested to know if anything could be found out about
Mary born 7.1.1856. She is John Warwick's wife. He was born 14.7.1856,
married 1.2.1881, and died 8.1.1888. Both were born at Thornton
Dale. She gives the name of Warwick on the marriage certificate
and there is no name or profession in the column for father. However,
there is a George Spenceley listed as a witness and, in the 1871
census, John Warwick is living as a boarder at George Spenceley's
address.
I initially received this information from a cousin who had been
researching his Warwick ancestors for some time. He provided me
with certain certificates, but I am unsure how he determined Mary's
exact date of birth as there is some mystery about her surname.
This cousin has jumped to the conclusion that, because Spenceley
was a witness, he was a relative of Mary's but it is possible that
she was also called Warwick.
(Note: A copy of the Warwick family
tree will be added shortly)
