She was the mother of WILLIAM WISKIN born there about 1803. He married ELIZA and they had a lot of children one of whom was my Great-great Grandfather WOOTTON WILLIAM WISKIN. Can anyone help?

CHALLIS FAMILY
Hello, I wonder if you can help me in my search for details
on the CHALLIS family. I have only just decided to research
my family tree via my mother's line and I know that my great-grandmother
was MARY ANN CHALLIS who was born in Wicham Brook in about 1875.
The 1901 census has her listed as living at Clopton Green. She
was married to WILIAM AGER (Boot Maker) and at that time had
two children - ROSE AND FANNY (Fanny being my grandmother).
They went on to have another daughter DAISY and a son PERCY.
I understand from my own mother that PERCY would now be about
93 years of age if he is still alive.
PLEASE NOTE NEW EMAIL ADDRESS (Jan 2008)

able to help me in my New Year's quest! - click

PYKE FAMILY - I wonder if you can assist me. I am trying to trace details of this family. I know that the Rev C Pyke was the vicar of Wickhambrook in the 19th century, I am guessing at the 1850's and his 4th son Henry died in Tasmania.
I see that the name Pyke appear's today in church and other matters, and it
would be interesting to know if any of them were descendents. The reason for my interest is that I live in Tasmania in the house which was
occupied in 1905/6 by Harriet and Ada Pyke. They were spinster sister's and
both died at the end of December 1906. Their grave is in the local (Latrobe)
Cemetery and I am attempting to restore it as of course it is now almost 100
year's since they died. I have also discovered where their father is buried and intend to visit this
site also, its approx 120km from Latrobe. I also have a copy photo of Harriet and Ada, and another sister. A brother is
also mentioned in the newspaper death notice. It seem's possible that an
aunt of their's was married into the Glover family of which John Glover the
artist was the head. If any of this is of interest to anyone, or there are contact's you can give
for any further information that I can obtain from the UK I would be pleased
to receive them. By the way although I have an Ordnance Survey Map Book I cannot find
Baythorne End Park. I am certain that it is in your area and not in
Somersetshire as inscribed on the gravestone. Regards,
Ivor Craft. [ivor.craft@bigpond.com]

PRYKE and HOUGHTON
I am descended from James
PRYKE (born c. 1777) and his wife Martha HOUGHTON. Their daughter
Adeliza Pryke (born 1821) who married Joseph Henry SIMPSON
is my 2 Greats Grandmother. I am interested in hearing from
anyone researching these surnames.
James Pryke farmed in Ashfield
Green, but I do not know exactly where, as the censuses do
not give the name of the farm. (James died in 1846 and the
farm was then inherited by his son John Houghton Pryke). Does
anyone with local knowledge know where James's farm was? Is
there anywhere in the village today called Pryke's farm?
There
is a rumour that the Prykes may have owned Gains Hall at one
time, but I have not been able to find any information to substantiate
this. I know that from the 1850s to 1901 it was owned by the
Isaacson family. Does anyone know who owned Gains Hall prior
to this? (Something I read on another web forum said James
Pryke's father, also James Pryke, owned Gains Hall and broke
his neck 6 months after he was married and died. I am trying
to find out where this story came from and if it is true!!)
I live in Berkshire, so do not know the local area. Any help
anyone is able to give me will be gratefully received. Please
contact me at susan_coe@btopenworld.com Many thanks. |

moved around the cargo fleet, north ormesby area. In county
durham they lived in badagoz, saltersgreen and a few other
places. My great grandfather was George Nunn born Wickhambrook

sure as have not researched it fully. George married a
Mary Jane Cooper in county durham in 1876. This was just
a short note to see if there is any connection and if
we could exchange any information. |
