Re: sarah ann wotton

2006-03-22 16:04:08Z

Hello Shirley.

Sorry the only info I have on Sarah is her baptism date The name Phillips does not appear anywhere in my tree, neither does Ivybridge so I guess there is little chance of a link there.

Fred

sarah ann wotton

sacivybridge — 2006-03-22 00:28:23Z

Fred: Does sarah perhaps marry a phillips? I am not convinced she married a stoneman. The phillips side is in devon, ivybridge mostly. Thanks for the help.
A george stoneman married an Elizabeth Phillips in 1894 then by 1901 he is gone.

Re: sarah ann wotton

2006-03-21 13:37:08Z

Hello Shirley,

I have seen your message on the Wotton board but unfortunately I do not see any connection with the Stonemans. I will have a look on all the sites I know of and should I find anything I will let you know.

Regards, Fred

sarah ann wotton

sacivybridge — 2006-03-17 20:57:02Z

sarah married george stoneman in 1872. does anyone have any infor on the children of this marriage or of george's background or sarah's background. I am just starting to investigate this family. They should connect at a future date to Phillips of Ivybridge.

Anybody there?

2006-03-01 11:43:52Z

Last message on this page was august 2005, am I the last connection with the Wotton family of Devon?. My tree goes back to circa 1580 with Robert and Florence Wotton, they were in Modbury. Other places were Ilsington, Alphington, Newton St Cyres, Down St Mary, and Exeter. I would love to here from any one connected or possibly connected.
Regards, Fred

Re: Wotton in Devon, England

I have a will for Samuel Wotton 1735. Did I send this to you earlier, Fred? The little grey cells don't work as well as they should.

Re: Hampden Wotton Devon

2006-01-06 14:50:23Z

The name and place suggests that their must be a connection. My Hampden had a son Hampden but his birth is 1826 and the other details don't fit. The rest of Hampden's male children were born around the time of the Hampden you are looking at. It is possible that he was the son of one of my Hampden's brothers, either John or Algernon. This would make the birth date appropriate. I don't have information on their families but will look in more detail at some information. I will keep looking.

Re: Hampden Wotton Devon

plum279 — 2006-01-06 13:04:58Z

I am researching a Hampden H Wotton born Plymouth abt.1835 he married twice (we think) dont know the first wife's name, but had 2 boys Hampden (1864 Tenby) and Richard Charles (1865 Plymouth), he then married Margaret J Murray (Cork abt 1856) nad had more children. Do you think this is any relation to your Hampden? any info would be appreciated

Re: Wotton

2005-09-26 22:15:58Z

That is excellent news. I came across a web page written by Robert O'Connor from Christchurch NZ. He detailed Frederick Cyril Heald Unwin and his wife. I picked up on this becuase I have Fred in my family tree and new that his father had moved to Devon. The really interesting thing is that Hannah Schofield, as mentioned in the last message, had an older brother Henry that had emmigrated in 1873. I am in contact with that family, also living in Christchurch, but not until today did I know that another branch of the tree had emigrated. You should check out the Robert O'Conner stuff.

Thanks, Matt

Re: Wotton

cllnsanne — 2005-09-26 21:20:36Z

Hi , i think you are looking for Ethel Wotton ( Syms was here mothers maiden name ) . She married Cyril Unwin in 1932 and emigrated the next day . She was my great aunt . She died in about 1997/8 .

Re: Wotton

cllnsanne — 2005-09-26 21:11:45Z

Re: Wotton

2005-09-26 16:26:04Z

I'm afraid that I do not have anything on Ethel Mary Symms or any of the others mentioned in your message.

However my grandmother was a Schofield (nee MacKenzie - born 1912 but not in Sheffield, died 1995 in London). Her husband was John Kershaw Schofield (possibly born London about 1890).

Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.

Re: Wotton

2005-09-26 12:28:17Z

Hi,
I am trying to connect a Ethel Mary Symms who it is thought was the daughter of Thomas Edward Wotton of Devon. Ethel Mary married a Frederick Cyril Heald Unwin and around 1930 emmigrated to New Zealand. Once there they had at least one duaghter called Kathleen Mary Unwin. Fred Unwin was born in 1900 in Sheffield. His grand mother was Hannah Schofield, also born in Sheffield.

Re: Wotton World Wide

famhistwhiba — 2005-09-09 14:06:41Z

The SA connection is a valid one; my second great grandfather James John Wotton [b 23 April 1874] and his father James John Wootton (name was shortened) [b 23 December 1848] were both born in SA. James John Jnr was born in Currency Creek, SA. This is where they originally emigrated to – their ship [Resource] arrived 1839.

I have JJ Snr’s parents as John Wootton and Susan Giles.

Now to NSW – JJ Jnr married Annie Jane Cochrane (my second great grandmother) 1898 at Walgett, NSW. They later moved to Toowoomba, QLD, & actually all over the place. More detail at my website, including their kids names.

Is there a link? Our Woottons/Wottons could be cousins if not from same line.

I see from your reply to Sandra, that you must have quite a few Wottons in your database. My interest is John Wotton (b1822 Poughill). As far as I know he married a Sally Hookway in early 1850, they subsequently had 4 children (that I know about), Edward, Henery, John & William. My question is this, is this a family that appears in your database? If so I would love to hear from you, otherwise good luck with your own research and I hope you find the link you are looking for.

Re: Wotton in Devon, England

fkemble — 2004-08-06 09:51:58Z

Hello Sandra,
I do have lots of info on the Wotton family but unfortunately no Anna, nor do I have any George Potter. I would suggest you attempt to get the marriage certificate of George and Anna, this would give you the name of her father.

It is worth you noting that there were several Wotton families in Devon with no obvious connections. I shall have a look through my mountain of papers on this family to see if by any chance I have missed the names you are looking for, but I am not hopeful of success. will let you know of any finds.

Regards

Fred

In researching my grandmother Stevens family I have discovered that my g grandmother Anna Potter's maiden name was Wotton. With the risk of digging myself deeper into a confusing hole, do you have any information on her family? She married George Potter in Newton Abbot in 1866. Thanks in advance.

P_Woddow — 2003-12-26 10:26:46Z

Hello,

they search according to the name WOTTON.
My name is sometimes also written differently in the church books. (Woddo, Wottow, Woddohn, Wotton, Woddon).
This name has come from Germany in the Uckermark(Brandenburg since cellulose acetate 1350) provable as soon as in England since ca1650.
Upper band beziehungen to each other may be, white I not. I have not yet detected the name in Russia. In USA, the spelling Woddow and Wottow. A William Woddow got married in Shelby(Indiana) in 1825 a Nancy Smith.
Much calibrated help this of a little long one.

I am in the process of clearing out/making room and I found printouts relating to Hampden Wotton including 1881 census,also details of his siblings and of his parents births and marriages.

More information on those I have as connected to William and Emma can be found on rootsweb's worldconnect by using WOTTON and KNOWSLEY in the surname and spouse search fields.

I would encourage others to upload gedcoms of their research to worldconnect and to search worldconnect from time to time for common interests.

I am curious as to who your James's father was. I have a James with son William in Ermington date b1757 and 1793 respectively. Ermington is but a stones throw from Modbury.
