Find Ancestors

Please help me. I am looking for my ggg grandfather Robert Hicks. His name has only been shown on my gg grandfathers ( Julian Shirlock Bult Hicks ) baptisim in Islington ( 1836 ) & marriage cert ( 1858) . Age and place of birth unknown. His occupation is either ENGRAVER or ARTIST. I think I have found him on the 1861 in St Pancras, Marylebone . A widow aged 78 ( 1783 ) place of birth Guilford Surrey. He has a daughter Elizabeth aged 40 ( 1821 ) place of birth St Clements Dane, westminster. Her occupation is a Theatrical Dressmaker. Julian married in St Clements Dane and worked at Drury Lane , London as a Scenic Artists - his children later follow in his footsteps and even own a fair few theatres. Can you help find Robert Hicks without an address? Poss his wife may be Mary or Ann or Mary Ann. Thank you in desperate anticipation. DEBI

Nudging in the hope that someone can help this morning : )) Much happiness Debi

You'd be better asking for 1851 NAME Index lookup for London, using possible 1783 as dob ? He could be absolutely anywhere in London or elsewhere in 1851 .... so I doubt anyone is going to volunteer to 'trawl' for you. What address does Julian give on his Marriage Cert ? I know its 1858 but worth checking in 1851 (JUST in case !!) It would be a start at least ? Good Luck Dancer x Have you seen these: (Bottom one is VERY interesting !) ALL have Robert & Ann as parents !

Hi Dancer Thanks for your reply. I've tried an adress search for 1851 for Julian when address at time of Marriage was given as 27 Kings Road, camden. No luck . Yes I have clocked the IGI's - hence my desperation to find this particular Robert on the 1851 - if not Julian's father most defiantely a very close family relative. This is perhaps the BIGGEST break through we've had in over 10 yrs - so prehaps I shall pull in my reigns and be at least grateful have found a crumb LOL!! Thanks again Dancer!! Much happiness Debi

I have checked the 1851 Post Office Directory for Robert etc .. sorry not listed. dave

Dwaffy Dwuck that was very kind of you - thank you very much. I'm not sure were I can look now :(( I've found a marriage for the previously mentioned John Shurlock Hicks in 1846 wandsworth - I think I best purchase this and then see where it all leads : )) Much happiness Debi

I'll pray that his father on the Marriage cert is an Engraver/Artist for you.! ... that would hopefully link them ? (sorry I disappeared, had to nip into town) Dancer x Maybe a search of St Clements area in London could proove interesting ... since they all seemed to be christened in that area. My roms aren't working properley at the moment, but I'll persiveer and if I can get to view the 1841, I'll see if I can find anything..... No promises though Debi, please don't rely on me x

Debi, Have 1841 London in drive ... and am searching (trawling) Westminster St Clements Dane. Could take a while ! If anyone reads this and can help ... St Clements in on CD 30 Piece 731 and I'm trawling 731-1. If anyone else is bored and wants to help, start on 731-2 ! Debi, I'll keep you updated on progress... even if it takes a few days !

Dancer ....... bless you - fingers crossed and a whole lot more lol!! Please don't worry - I used to think Hicks was an unusual name till I started this game LOL!! Many many thanks to the both of you for your help. Much happiness debi

Hi Debi, Have just finished 731-1. Not found YOUR family YET ! BUT, found these Hicks for later reference maybe? 1841 CD30 731-1, 41 John Hicks 25 Eliza Hicks 20 ---------------- 731-1, 46 Alfred Hicks 26 Porter Jesse Hicks 16 George Hicks 6 weeks ----- 731-1, 46 John Hicks 22 Brass Turner Mary Hicks 19 John Hicks 4 months Am going to do a little housework, then I'll trawl 731-2 later and get back to you ! Dancer x Just got your message, I have no rellies from Ireland that I have found todate !! ... will certainly let you know if I ever come across any xx

EKK!!............ have I driven you to HOUSEWORK? I so hope not lol!! Thank you again ............. I'll save those that you have found and start to do so work on them to see if they fit the puzzle. Indebted to such kindness - thanks Much happiness Debi

Hi Debi, This is just a reminder for myself really .... but the Piece numbers are wrong ! Seems I'm already upto 731-9 ! out of 12. 731-1 was in actual fact 731-1 to 731-6 ... and 731-2 is actually 731-7 to 731-12.. I'm on 731-9 at the mo ! sorry, just needed to leave myself a reminder ! Dancer x

Sorry Debi, its bad news I'm afraid. Your family aren't within st Clement Danes on the 1841. Did find these, to go with those above: Ann Hicks, 40, Laundress (731-8, 51) Edward Hicks 45 Labourer Sarah Hicks 35 Charwoman Edward Hicks 18 months Mary Hicks 13 731-9, 5 Sorry I didn't find better results ;-( Dancer x

Dancer your still a diamond. You have helped me so much today. You have eliminated places and i can cross them off my list now........thank you . I'm a happy bunny - honest :)) I'm going to wait patiently for this MC to arrive and take it from there. At least it will give me another address to search and closer to 1841 & 1851 as it's in 1846. Many many thanks & much much happiness Debi -x-

Lancashire Lou ( Cat BaLou) has found you some Hicks !! Good Luck ...:-) Dancer x
