Find Ancestors

Hi I'm looking for the 1861census records for the Baskeyfield family. Children were Charles (b1865) , George (b1871) and Bertie (b1875) they were living in Stoke on Trent, (Hanley area I'm guessing) and I'm trying to find their parents/ confirm them as possibly Richard and Alice. Any help would greatly improve my family tree as Christmas presents to the family! Thanks Naomi

What does 1881 say about them? Do you know for certain that the children you name are siblings? I'm not sure why you think 1861 will help Reg

Hey guys thanks for this all great stuff, big thanks Ozibird too. Just a few questions thou - there is a John Baskeyfield 23 on the 1851 census and I'm not sure what relatio he is to the family (can't match him into anything) so I was wondering if he was a nephew or something. Also in 1865 I have both a Charles R and a Richard born in both the same year and I was wondering if they are actually the same person - what do you think? Also on the 1851 for Phillip - do you think Goerge Tomkinson 32 was Hannah's brother or do you think Mary Tomkinson 32 was her sister? Naomi

This lot seem to fit in with a list from the 1851 census you have been given BASKERVILLE, Elizabeth Christening Gender: Female Birth Date: 6 Oct 1845 Christening Date: 9 Nov 1845 Recorded in: Brown edge, Staffordshire, England Father: William BASKERVILLE Mother: Hannah Source: FHL Film 1278889 Dates: 1845 - 1908 BASKERVILLE, William Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 21 Apr 1848 Christening Date: 28 May 1848 Recorded in: Brown edge, Staffordshire, England Father: William BASKERVILLE Mother: Hannah Source: FHL Film 1278889 Dates: 1845 - 1908 BASKERVILLE, Eliza Christening Gender: Female Christening Date: 23 Feb 1851 Recorded in: Brown edge, Staffordshire, England Father: William BASKERVILLE Mother: Hannah Source: FHL Film 1278889 Dates: 1845 - 1908

I wonder if these marriages are relevant BASKEFIELD, William Marriage Wife: Sarah TURNER Marriage Date: 30 Oct 1826 Recorded in: Wolstanton, Staffordshire, England Source: FHL Film Dates: 1783 - 1849 BASKEFIELD, William Marriage Wife: Hannah COTTON Marriage Date: 27 Nov 1833 Recorded in: Wolstanton, Staffordshire, England Source: FHL Film Dates: 1783 - 1849 - they seem to fit in nicely with the list of children !!

Re your 1851 census - this could be the marriage for George and Mary Marriages Jun 1842 TOMKINSON George TURNOCK Mary Wolstanton &c 17 249 or this one (more likely) Marriages Mar 1851 BROWN MARY ANN TOMKINSON GEORGE WOLSTANTON 17 332 ... which doesn´t help!! NO NO!!! just found this one Marriages Jun 1847 Cotton Mary Tomkinson George Stoke on T 17 233 So looks as if Mary was Hannah´s sister

Brilliant - this is fabulous stuff - thanks for your help everyone.. Naomi :o)

Hi can anyone see a birth entry for a William Baskeyfield for 1802 ish from the Stoke on Trent, Wolstanton area? Dried out my sources! Regards

Just to let you know I have checked the BIVRI and nothing on there.
