Find Ancestors

I am getting confused.

I found, what I thought was my ancester, John Pascoe on LDS. He was, according to them, born in 1766 in Ayr in Scotland and was married to Martha Newman who was born in the Bristol area.

I have found around 10 trees on Ancestry with much the same information as myself, ie married to Martha, date of marriage and deaths are the same as mine, many of the children and their dates are the same.

But.... everyone else has John born in Somerset! I dont know where I have gone wrong here. How accurate is the info on LDS? (I always try to double check all my research anyway) I dont understand how I can have got this so so different from everyone else. Ive been back to LDS and the info is quite clearly there.

Im very confused here.....

Bristol will come under Somerset

Back in those days it would have been a mammoth journey from Ayr to Bristol though!!!

Don't take everything on LDS as gospel,there are lots of errors as many of the entry's are submitted and therefore not 100% true.

Lol - certainly would Anne! Do you think then, that I have got this wrong and he was born in Somerset? (His son, John, was born in Hanham, Bristol - just a stones throw from Mangotsfield where Martha herself was born).

I was very surprised to find a Scottish connection. As you say, its a long way and really doesnt seem feasible but I guess you can never be sure.

Funny how everyone else has something different (but the same as each other) and I dont understand why I didnt find the same thing!

One tree says his parents were Israel Pascoe 1746 and Hannah.
There was a death for Israel in Pontypool 1803 so it could be correct.

Yes Mel - I think that IS them. their son John certainly settled in the Trevethin area - in fact, I have just found the Baptist church where their great granddaughter got married and that in the Trevethin area too.

Mary - that is interesting as I found a death for Israel in Bristol in 1806 (although I have question marks next to it in my notebook!). But I think perhaps it may be more likely (Pontypool is in the Trevethin area too).

I was working on the basis that John was born in Bristol.

Im still a bit confused, but maybe for different reasons now!

Oh, Mel's post has disappeared now....

Sorry I deleted by mistake!!!!!

1841 Wales Census
about John Pascoe
Name: John Pascoe
Age: 70
Estimated birth year: abt 1771
Gender: Male

Civil parish: Trevethan
Hundred: Abergavenny (Upper Division)
County/Island: Monmouthshire
Country: Wales

Registration district: Pontypool

Household Members: Name Name
John Pascoe 70
Martha Pascoe 70
Mary Pascoe 40


I meant to put down that he has no occupation on this census just Ind.

The address looks like Albionn Terrace.

I'm seeing a shedload of Pascoe's on the census but not one in Scotland - the vast majority from the West country

Mel - whereabouts is the census taken? Is it Pontypool itself? Or could it be either Abersychan, Talywain, Garndiffaith or something else? I might be able to find the correct Albion Terrace then (sounds like a soap opera!)

Anne - I concur, and I think, going back to my original post, that the Scotland connection is phoney and that John WAS born in the West country. I know this isnt an exact science but sometimes the red herrings really get in the way!

Thank you everyone for your help, I really appreciate it xx

Looking at lots of info and it seems the Pascoe families were from Nailsea Somerset which is 8 miles South West of bristol.

Israel Pascoe 1806 born nailsea Somerset.
1881 in Pisgah Square Trevethin Monmouthshire a coal miner.
wife Sarah born Kenn Somerset.

This is the3 Mary Pascoe on the 1841 census I put up earlier and her siblings, well some of them!
This is from LDS but it has batch numbers so should be right.

Mel - thankyou so much for this - it makes a lot of sense with what I already have. Re your comment about batch numbers - do you mean that if the entry has a batch number, its reliable and if its doesnt then its to be treated with caution?

Mary - talk about coincidence - you can see in my earlier post that I had found the church where my 3xg grandmother married - its actually Pisgah Baptist Church in Pisgah Road, Talywain.

I wonder if this Israel is John's brother? Their father was israel also, but was born much earlier and married to a Hannah.

All children of John Pascoe and Martha or Jno Pascoe and Martha

When you look on IGI familysearch.org if a record is Submitted it means that someone has submitted the record. If it is Extracted it is taken from the Bishops Transcripts and can be beleived.

This is also useful - and intersting in that I have James and Sarah, just 1 Rebecca and no Joseph at all.

I will have to look into this - see if they died perhaps?

Thanks Mel x
