Family Research

I am looking for any details of a family surname Neville who lived in Eaton Bray. The only information I have is the Name John Neville Born 1855 Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire. Any information would be appreciated.
Many Thanks

I am planning a visit to the UK in the fall '09  I would like to research "Buckmaster" name.  My mothers maiden name.  I need info. on accomodatrions, records, transportation etc.  Thanks in advance  Donna Sprecher  Oregon, US

I am trying to find information on my father David Walker who comes from Nottingham, his birthday is the 11th February 1926. I live in Australia. Your site was recommended to me by Tom Brinklow.

Hi Ian....Is this your father...David Walker reg March 1926 vol 7b page 763 Mothers maiden name Edwards.....Have emailed a member on Genes Reunited with your father in her tree and hopefully we will get some info....Is there anything specific that you are looking for and do you have any more info.

Dad "David" was born in Nottingham on Feb 11th 1926. not sure of his mothers maiden name. He has dementia and cant give me any info. I wish to try to trace the family history. He married Iris Carter Deverill in 1947. Migrated to Australia in around 1957-60. any information on the Walker or Deverill family history would be great. cheers  Ian

Hi Ian....The only thing I know of Nottingham is Trent Bridge Cricket Ground (Wonderful Place) so may need more help....Found a marriage for I think your grandfather 1917 to a Celia G Edwards.Births in Nottingham Walker/Edwards...Arthur & Gordon 1919 Irene 1921 Celia & David 1926.Are any of these uncles or aunts....Your fathers marriage to Iris C Deverill reg December 1947...Births Nottingham Walker/Deverill...Ann 1950 & Jean 1955..Are these your sisters?...Cant find your birth reg...Are you oz or made in England?..Need to find your grandfather on 1901 census and we should be able to trace at least until 1841.

YESSSSSS  you have done well......all the above is correct. I would love for you to trace the rest of the history. I am made in Australia....hehehehe. all info appreciated

Ian....I am still looking for your family but not getting very far at the moment.......Do you have any more info like a town in Nottinghamshire where they may have come from...Found some families in 1901 that could fit but most are born outside Notts..Does the town Stapleford ring any bells.

no idea mate....I appreciate anything. thanks for your help

Seven years on and I am still looking for the parents of John Gray b.1745 married to Hannah Sutton (butcher of Edlesborough). Father of Benjamin Gray b.1773 John Gray b.1785 etc.
Can anyone help?

Derek Gray

Sorry Derek.
Can't be much help at the moment as there is nothing in Parish Records 1559-1812 until:

Marriage
June 17th 1808 John Gray bach of Edlesborough to Rebecca Pearson spin of Eaton Bray.

Banns of Marriage
September 27th 1800 George Brown of Eaton Bray to Sophia Gray of Edlesborough.
October 23rd 1803 William Raison of Eaton Bray to Ann Gray of Edlesborough.
November 12th 1809 Bartholomew Pearson of Eaton Bray to Hannah Gray of Edlesborough.

Will search elsewhere.

Thanks for looking. The John Gray you have was my 2xggrandfather.The cleric keeping the parish records in the mid 1700s was a bit careless. Archives at Aylesbury cannot help.My last hope was the family Bible. Hannah Sutton b.1748, his wife can be traced in Stoke Hammond back to the 1600s, where they were married in 1771.
