Anyone else into seeking their ancestors?

[darksideofthemoon]

I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.

The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.

How is everyone else going?

The definitely wer some Underhills in Leamington in 1861.

I am looking at this family at the moment trying to find a connection.....if there is one.

George born 1822 Teachbrook Warwickshire (grocer+milkman)

Elizabeth  1821 Hereford (maiden name Bond)

George F born 185o Leamington

William J 1852 Leamington

Elizabeth 1859 (she is Selina in the 1871 census)

They live in Leamington Priors.

And I'm loking at a baptism record for an Edward Underhill, parents Henry & Jane, also from Leamington priors in 1860.

They'd all have to be related surely, its not that common a name.

I hate the 10 year gap between censuses, so much can happen in 10 years!

I have also found these burial for Leamington between 1861 and 1871......but  it doesn't help that they have no ages.

George Underhill.....28-2-1863

Joseph 24-7-1865

Sarah 13-1-1868

William 1-4-1867

Wholly heck! You guys are awesome! Thank you!

That gives me so much to look into!

The 1871 Census says that he is born in Warwick, leamington. Does the Warwick narrow it down a bit? I have no idea how you are finding this burial info flashie, is it via ancestry?

[punch*drunk]

Leamington is in Warwickshire county.

If you search ancestry, you will find his birth in 1863, unfortunately, no parents listed.

I have been searching censuses, marriages and deaths, but cant find any definite record of his parents. I think the burials flashie put up are on ancestry, still no real way to link them together though.

Did you see the George Underhill stowaway record?

[matildas-place]

Just looked it up Punch,I am beginning to think that must be him as there certainly doesn't seem to be anything else that fits. How brave and desperate he must of been to be a stowaway.

I am 99% sure you guys have the right family, I was just looking at the Census when he was 17 and he is listed as a shoe maker, on his marriage cert it says he is a boot maker.

Wholly heck! You guys are awesome! Thank you!

Aren't they ever 🙂

YAAYYYYY!  We have a stowaway in the family - our first stowaway... 🙂

Desperate yes, but sooo brave, not everyone would be so courageous.
