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)
