John Johnson (b1827, Ireland) married Elizabeth Mason (1843- 1921) in Westbury Wiltshire. I think they had 8 children. John was a Police Constable and according to censuses they live in Highworth, Broad Blunsdon and Hilperton. John died sometime in 1890 and I have yet to trace hos death certificate for confirmation of what he died from. He died in Hilperton. Elizabeth moved to Uckfield where she lived until she died in 1921. Elizabeth's family was from Wiltshire, her parents William Mason and Sarah Prince (married 11 Aug 1822 in Salisbury).

Does anybody have any information about the families?

I am interested in learning about my grandfathers named Giles~ dating back to the 1600's. I believe my g-g-g-g-g-g grandfather James was born in Warminster in 1684. His father was also James but I don't know when he was born nor what his wife's name was.

I am researching the Andrews family. James Andrews was born in Wingfield in 1805 and married Elizabeth ? born Rhode Somerset in 1802. Jamess' father was George Andrews born 1786. I have no further information about them~ who they married~ when~ or occupation. I would welcome any information regarding this. I know that James and Elizabeth became publicans in East Meon Hampshire at some time following the birth of their second child Charles born 1835.

I live in Wellington~New Zealand~and am looking for my Great Great Grandfathers ancestors.My Great Great Grandfather's name was Stephen Payne Smith~who was born in 1806~at Warminster~Crockerton~Wiltshire.Stephen Payne Smith stayed at Crockerton Inn which I think his father was the publican there~and that was about Jan 1851.Stephen Payne Smith was married to Jane Rebekah Hedgeland at Wesminster~London in 1829~and had eight children~Jane Susannah 20/7/1830~Stephen Thomas 1832~Elizabeth Harriet 1835~Mary Ann 1837~Clarissa Emma 1839~Louisa Hedgeland } twin 1842~Maria Payne } twin 1842~William Samuel 1845.They all immigrated to New Zealand 1851 on the ship Steadfast and landed at Lyttleton~New Zealand.We believe that Stephen Payne Smith's middle name came fron either his Mother or Grandmother's maiden name~as I know that there are a lot of Payne's still living there.I really want to know who Stephen's Mother~Father or even his Grandparents were as i have came to a sudden block on it.Thanks for spending some time redaing this as i hope it sheds some light on my genealogy.Be free to send me an e-mail.******

• Hi Arana
  
  I am just starting to research my family tree and I have traced it back so far to William Griffin, born about 1834 in Yarnbrook (although various census's note him as also being born in Frome and Trowbridge. I know from his marriage certificate that his father was also called William but this is all I know for sure. There is only 1 census entry in 1841 which includes a William (aged 7), but the head of the Household was recorded as Elizabeth, so either William (the father) was somewhere else on the day of the census, or I have simply hit a dead end.
  
  Anyway, I may be related to your particular tree in some way (however distant) and hopefully you may have some info which may help make this connection.
  
  I would be happy to pass on my Griffin family details discovered thus far (as there is a certain Wiltshire connection) should you wish as they may be useful in your research at some point.
  
  I look forward to hearing from you.
  
  Kind regards
  
  Gary Griffin
