My grandfather was WILLIAM HENRY JONES b1893 d1956. His wife was SARAH PODMORE b1895 d1926. I'm struggling to find any info on WILLIAM'S parents - ALBERT JONES b1865 app, married MINNIE LOVELL b1873 app. If anyone has info they could share, it would be gratefully appreciated. I have much info to share also.
My father was ARTHUR JONES b1925 d this year. My dad was the last of the children from WILLIAM & SARAH.
Trying to find more information about the Pain/Payne & related families (thanks to Graham Payne for setting us off in the right direction). George Gould Payne (1797-1877) was the son of Joel Payne (spelling variable) and Mary Gould both of whom would have been born around 1764. George Gould Payne married Ann Andrews.
I’m interested in the name Creyghton/Creighton. My great-grandfather’s brother had the unusual name, James Creighton Keel Reed. Nobody in my family knew where the names Creighton and Keel came from. I have recently discovered a link through JCKR’s grandmother, Catherine Keel, with the family of Henry and Hannah Keel in Yatton. Henry was a farmer.
One of Catherine’s brothers was called Charles Creyghton Keel. He was baptised at Yatton on 15.6.1800. I know that he was living in Cleeve, Yatton at the time of the 1851 census.
I’ve read that Robert Creyghton, who died in 1755, was vicar of Yatton in the 1700s. I’ve also discovered that Albert Burges, son of George Burges from Cleeve, Yatton, married an Emma Creyghton Keel, daughter of William Keel of Brighton,in Melbourne on 16.3.1867. I wonder if this William is one of the sons (b.1816) of Henry and Hannah. Emma Creyghton Keel was baptised at St. Mary Redcliffe on 21.2.1847.
I’m intrigued to know if there’s a link between Robert Creyghton, vicar of Yatton, and the Keel family and would be grateful if anyone can shed any light on this mystery.
I am trying to find when and where the burials for Cornelius Hancock and his wife Jane Hancock. All I know is that Cornelius Hancock died around 1801 and Jane his wife was buried March 1801 both in Weston Super Mare.
