Margaret Report 28 Mar 2008 18:13

John was born of William and Matilda Tallamy about 1900 ... in Islington area of England.

He had brothers and sisters ... some names are Charles, William and Lilian, possibly Dorothy.

I think he worked on canal barges at one time in the north of England.

Does anyone have any other information on John F. please.

Regards. Margaret

Amazing speed with which you great people come up with answers - thank you all so much.

Now I wonder if you could go back to Matilda Jacobs family and give me some information on where she came from .... I think George was her father and lived with the family. Was she an only child ... who was her Mum .... etc.

I really really appreciate the help.

Margaret.

A possible for Matilda's birth - you will need to order the marriage certificate to get confirmation of her father's name -

Hi Nikki:

I think the birth date of William T. must be more like 1853 because in 1901 he had a 13 year old son.

Not sure where the Townsend man comes in unless he was visiting when the census was taken .... ?

I will have to get certificates and check for parents names etc.

Thanks everso for your speedy responses ... I would recommend you highly.

Margaret.

Hi Andrew:

Wow .... so Matilda's maiden name was Rapson ... you have got a long way back. I shall have to really study the lists and get back to you.

Thanks ever so much .... you are good.

Hi Andy:

It would seem the Stambury's were lodgers? Think Dotherotty must be Dorothy don't you. Also Sarah Heard....must be a lodger or visitor.

Tis a job well done sir .... thank you so much.

Margaret.

Andrew Report 28 Mar 2008 20:07

Looking at the 1841 - which is very faint - John is a Labourer. I think the Stambury's are actually the next door household and I can't tell if Sarah Heard is supposed to be included either.

If someone else would like to take a look the reference is:

This might be John & Jennifer Rapson marriage from IGI

That could be John and Jennifer's marriage ... the dates fit. Incredible to get back so far.

Thanks again....Margaret.
