Hello Im Alan,
A newbie age 63 ex R.N and Engineer.And im stuck.|banghead|
I can trace a line of my my family on the 1841 census to my great.G.Grandfather-Benjamin Gregory.DOB Abt 1805 and wife Eliza? Abt 1811
and Children-ELIZA 1837-EMMA 1836-HANNA 1834 and PHILIP JESSE 1836 My
great G Father ,all of St Peter parish Worcester.Then they go of the radar on
all the other census.Ican pick up Philip.J. and Emma (Chorley) after they marry,but the rest vanish.I have looked at BMD but with no luck.I know that
side of the family was linked to the Severn-Avon and the Waterways.
Benjamin being a Boat builder and Jesse a lock keeper.Iam not very mobile so
tend to rely on my computer,in which my skills are very Ltd.I should realy call
myself 1 finger.Any help would be most welcom.
Regards Alan

Benjamin Gregory. Died 16th Feb 1842. Aged 40. Parish St Peter. Worc.
Eliza Gregory. Died 5th Oct 1842. Aged 35. St Peter. Worc
Hanna Gregory. Died 26th Jan 1834. Aged 2 years. St Peter. Worc.
Eliza Gregory born 1837. I have not found her as yet but if she got married you will needed her married name.
The birth dates do not match but the names and the parish do.
So this may be your people.
Cheers.
Dave

:) Thanks David.you managed in minutes,that which I have failed for weeks.
I am puzzled with Hanna who died 1834 though,as she appears age 7 on
1841 census I wonder if they named another child Hanna after the death.

It often happens that a dead childs name is used again. I have several where this has been done. Also you may find that the same name is used for other members of the family for their children, which helps to muddy the water when your searching.
Cheers.
