Website Update 3 June 2016

During May, there has been a significant flurry of activity, which involved following up on a close match in Stuart's Autosomal (Family Finder) DNA Kit. This resulted in a wealth of new information, a trip to Lincolnshire Archives, and visits to the churches of Great Ponton, and Hough-on-the-Hill in Lincolnshire.

DNA Test Results

We were contacted by John Leadbeater - his father had a match with Stuart's DNA results, indicating he was a 2nd-3rd cousin. John believes it is through the Grococks, from Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire. Stuart's 3rd great-grandmother was Ann Grocock. Very little was known about her - we had last updated her information on 31 December 2006. With today's wealth of internet resources, we were able to find her three children, and trace her back a further two generations to Samuel & Dorothy Grocock née Barns who married on 11 April 1731 in St. Giles' Church, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire.

LCC Wills

Along the way, we discovered there were several GROCOCK wills in the Lincolnshire Archives, so we made a visit there to photograph the wills. We have created a photograph album in Google, if you would like to see the images of three wills of her mother Alice Grocock née Dant; her father Philip Grocock, and her brother Samuel Grocock.

Google Web Albums

Ann Grocock married William Moulds on 29 December 1800 in All Saints' Church, Hough-on-the-Hill, Lincolnshire. As we were in Lincolnshire, we visited this beautiful church, and Stuart took several photographs. These are included in the photograph album All Saints Church, Hough-on-the-Hill.

William and Ann lived in Great Ponton. In early April, Stuart visited Great Ponton church, and photographed the church - see the photograph album Church of The Holy Cross, Great Ponton Church, and Churchyard. In Great Ponton's churchyard Stuart found a couple of graves which we were unable to identify.

Descendants of Joseph and Sarah Moulds Family Tree

Subsequently, in our endeavours to find who they were (we have still not found them), we searched Ancestry Public Family Trees and found the tree of Descendants of Joseph and Sarah Moulds compiled by Andrew Buchanan-Smith. Wow! What a wealth of information. Joseph & Sarah Moulds née Smith, were Stuart's 4th great-grandparents. Their grand-daughter, Sarah Moulds married Thomas Pask.

Based on the information kindly provided by Andrew, it has enabled us to build a significant tree of the descendants of William Moulds, (c1710-1774), Stuart's 5th great-grandfather. Wherever possible, we have tried to collaborate Andrew's research. Fortunately, the website Find my Past, now has a lot of the original images of Lincolnshire Parish Registers 1538-1911, and we have included the baptisms, marriages, and burials images.

Also, earlier this year, we took out membership for the British Newspaper Archive. We therefore have included the Death Notices, wherever possible, and in some instances inquest reports.   

Suffolk Marriages

Finally, in this website update, there are several Suffolk marriages included, as detailed in the previous blog, Suffolk Marriages More Updates. 

Suffolk Marriages Update

Following on from the blogs Happy Valentine's Day and Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages, we confirm that the Suffolk marriages have now all been included into the  
PA(R)S(K)(E)(QUE) database.

Suffolk Marriage Index

As mentioned in the previous blog, the transcription consists of tens of thousands of entries, between 1536 and 1902, and covering over 433 out of approximately 500 parishes of the County of Suffolk. We found 100 marriages, that were distributed amongst the family groups:

02-1 Suffolk    11
02-2 Suffolk    24
06 Suffolk         5
06a Suffolk       1
08 Suffolk         1
09 Suffolk         6
26 Suffolk         7
35 Suffolk         1
55 Suffolk         1
56 Suffolk         1
Not Known      42

Boyd's Marriage Index (Suffolk)

Of the 396 marriages found in the Boyd's Marriage Index, 230 were in Suffolk. These included 31, kindly provided by Sam Hammond. Also several of them were duplicates of the Suffolk Marriage Index. These were distributed amongst the family groups: 

02-Suffolk        2
02-1 Suffolk     3
02-2 Suffolk    22
06 Suffolk         8
06a Suffolk       1
08 Suffolk         1
26 Suffolk         5
29 Suffolk         1
35 Suffolk         1
55 Suffolk         1
56 Suffolk         1
Not Known    184

The 'Not Known' in the Suffolk Marriage Index, and the Boyd's Marriage Index have been included into the database, and now have an icon indicating that the record was in Suffolk, but not yet assigned to a family chart. Similarily, there are now 'Not Known' icons for other counties.

All these new records have been included in a website update today, making it the largest update we have done. 295 new narratives have been added. There are now a total of 11,573 detailed narratives available on the website and 18,633 (297 new) people in our database.

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated on February 14, all over the world. The day is an occasion in which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, and sending greeting cards. 

Yesterday, we received a list of people who undoubtedly expressed their love for each other. Sam Hammond provided us with a list of 31 Suffolk marriages from Boyd's Marriage Index, ranging from 1653 to 1750. 

Today, we will be including these in our database, together with the 100 Suffolk marriages mentioned in the previous blog Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages.

Many thanks Sam for your efforts - it is very much appreciated.

Website Update 13 January 2016

The website was updated today, Wednesday 13 January 2016. The main focus of the updates were:
Charles PASK (c1734-1805) lived in Dingestow, and Cwmcarvan, Monmouthshire. He married Jane Cowcum, and their descendants span eight generations.

Michael R.A. Paske, has been writing to us since 2012. He provided a photograph of his great-grandfather Amos Paske's, grocery shop in North Woolwich. He has also provided extensive information passed to him after the death of his cousin Edith Jean Philipott. This information will be included in a future website update.
 
Simultaneously, we heard for the first time, from Michael A. Paske, who now lives in Texas. He is the great-grandson of William Paske from Kansas. William, and his brother Amos, were both born in Abergavenny Monmouthshire. In the 1870s, Amos, and his brother William immigrated to Kansas. However, Amos and his wife Jane returned c1885 and moved to Woolwich. 

The two Michaels are now in touch with each other and exchanging family history. Fortunately based on information from Michael, and the assistance of www.findagrave.com, we have been able to include a lot of missing pieces of the remaining Kansas famly.

This information relates to the main Suffolk tree - descendants of John & Mirabel Pask née Sparrow, born c1680 who lived in Wickhambrook, Suffolk. In particular descendants of John Pask (1709-179) their first son. 

As a follow-on from the previous website update, additional information was kindly provided by Derek Mouland, from Australia, on his grandfather Charles Mouland, and his wife Annie Elizabeth Pask.

  This information relates to Chart 6 - Unknown Pask who lived in Kedington, Suffolk.

We have now included all the relevant information kindly provided by Terence Farrant's extensive summary of several generations of the descendants of Susan Paske, who married Joseph Coote in 1856 in Kedington, Suffolk.   

  Thomas PASK was born in 1820 in Upminster, Essex. He was the son of Thomas PASK. Thomas married Hannah PARISH on 25 December 1840 in The Parish Church, Upminster, Essex. Thomas was a Cordwainer.

Just before Christmas we heard from the granddaughter of Malcolm 'Patrick' Pask, who died at the age of 19 in a road accident. Malcolm was the grandson of Bertram Lionel Pask, who died in WWI. Bertram never knew his son, Gordon Mons Aisne Pask. Similiarily, Gordon died in WWII, Malcolm was aged 7 at the time. Malcolm never knew his daughter Joy, as he died before she was born.

Website Update Sunday 1 November 2015

The website was updated yesterday, Sunday 1 November 2015.

This information relates to the main Suffolk tree - descendants of John & Mirabel Pask née Sparrow, born c1680 who lived in Wickhambrook, Suffolk. In particular descendants of John Pask (1709-179) their first son.

This information relates to Chart 6 - Unknown Pask who lived in Kedington, Suffolk.

This information relates to a new Chart 8 - Descendants of Philip & Elizabeth Pask née Barnard, They married in 1808 in Stambourne, Essex and lived in Sible Hedingham.

This update focuses on three families who orginated in Suffolk, and Essex:

• Annie Elizabeth Pattle, born Pask, who moved from Suffolk to Dorset, and married Charles Mouland, a Dairyman. They had four children, and lived a long and hard-working life. Many thanks to Derek Mouland, who provided extensive information, and photographs, relating to this family.
• The family of Terence Farrant, who has been writing to us since 2013. In August this year, Terry provided an extensive summary of several generations of the descendants of Susan Paske, who married Joseph Coote in 1856 in Kedington, Suffolk.  
• Philip Pask, who married Elizabeth Bernard in 1808. They lived in Essex.
  A new chart 08 has been created to detail Philip's descendants.
  Their daughter Hephzibah married Ephraim Tyler on 2 May 1830 in Great Maplestead, Essex. Unfortunately on 23 July 1832, Ephraim was convicted in Chelmsford Essex of Housebreaking, and sentenced to Life. He was transported on the 'Andromeda', departing on 13 November 1832, arriving in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia on 11 March 1833. Subsequently, nearly seven years later Hephzibah remarried, and had five more children. Many thanks to Lorraine Hall, who kindly provided the background information.
  Further research is required, as it is probable that this family is linked to Chart 54, also from Essex.

Since the last update on 12 October 2015, 91 new narratives have been added. There are now a total of 11,190 detailed narratives available on the website and 18,215 (157 new) people in our database.
