photographs. With this feature, users select a photo in FileShadow and click “Detect Faces.” The
app then identifies faces with a red outline box. Users can click on one of the faces and assign a
name/title to that face. The system will add that name/title as a tag for future searches and
tagging.
“FileShadow goes beyond AI-based object identification,” said Tyrone Pike, FileShadow’s president
and CEO. “FileShadow now can identify and name people in photographs. Of course, everything is
searchable, so finding people later will be easy. FileShadow also provides a way to create custom
regions so objects in a photograph like horses, dogs or buildings can be named.” Click on this <a href="https://www.fileshadow.com/" target="_blank">link</a> to access the website. </b></i></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Don't forget the FamilySearch APP</b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">What are you enjoying about RootsTech 2024? </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">RootsTech would love to hear feedback from you.

This led to the discovery that he was the vicar of St Botolph Church in Shepshed. His name was recorded on each page because it was he who married, baptised and buried the people of Shepshed.

On my visit to, and drive around, England in 2019 before attending RootsTech London, my husband David and I had visited the tiny village of Polstead in Suffolk where I had traced my Stowe family back to the early 17th century. I found it very moving to see the church and baptismal font that ancestors were baptised in so long ago.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlbAIxXebpJTRrTVePUJTZVQ6YInF5Fl05mX7FX66dI3XZWmzHgkMYjZDJFife2cIV0x2d_Y-6tcFjtzDzLGe16zZAnO6LSEUhU2WM5c-QK5DQ2omlUf0gWFRibT8SvzVcKpl8hpDJiACb/s1280/POLSTEAD+CHURCH+BAPTISM+FONT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlbAIxXebpJTRrTVePUJTZVQ6YInF5Fl05mX7FX66dI3XZWmzHgkMYjZDJFife2cIV0x2d_Y-6tcFjtzDzLGe16zZAnO6LSEUhU2WM5c-QK5DQ2omlUf0gWFRibT8SvzVcKpl8hpDJiACb/s320/POLSTEAD+CHURCH+BAPTISM+FONT.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Baptismal Font in the Medieval St Mary's Church, Polstead, Suffolk, Image Sharn White ©</span><br /></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As part of researching my family history I always look at newspapers.

I discovered a wealth of news items about Stowe family members and the wide range of misdemeanors they committed in and around Polstead in the 1800's. Several were charged with being <i>drunk and</i> <i>disorderly</i> at the Cock Inn, one was repeatedly charged with <i>poaching</i> and another <i>stabbed his</i> <i>brother </i>by the pond in Polstead. Often it is our felonious ancestors who made the most headlines in newspapers and I find that sometimes our worst behaved forebears can be the most interesting ancestors.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrSkBS7EWzXeQT_P96LmB0Wuqu7QF1KQOpIq9bfotc3p1D8ThknFJyc7RGYlB230kfC4UxvimIIFWJPwblCy6iebZBjRfcu_ZtIwPEg2qvseqGcd9pjq69Obo-dbTts6jErJpecniQuic/s1024/POLSTREAD+POND+%25C2%25A9+Copyright+PAUL+FARMER+and+licensed+for+reuse+under+this+Creative+Commons+Licence..jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHrSkBS7EWzXeQT_P96LmB0Wuqu7QF1KQOpIq9bfotc3p1D8ThknFJyc7RGYlB230kfC4UxvimIIFWJPwblCy6iebZBjRfcu_ZtIwPEg2qvseqGcd9pjq69Obo-dbTts6jErJpecniQuic/s320/POLSTREAD+POND+%25C2%25A9+Copyright+PAUL+FARMER+and+licensed+for+reuse+under+this+Creative+Commons+Licence..jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">The Pond at Polstead, © Paul Farmer, Licensed for reuse under Creative Commons License </span><br /></span></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">One crime which particularly intrigued me was the burning of a red barn in Polstead in 1843, by Samuel Stowe, the son of Francis and Pheobe Stowe.

My ancestor Pheobe Stowe had been suspicious of William Corder ever since he had borrowed a spade from her cottage on the very night that Maria went missing. The Stowe cottage was quite near the red barn and Pheobe regularly saw and spoke with William Corder. Pheobe, cited in newspapers as being the village gossip, questioned William each time she saw him and his strange replies made her increasingly suspicious that foul play was involved in Maria's disappearance. She became a crucial witness in the Red Barn Murder trial along with her husband Francis. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">As sure as I am that you would like to hear more about The Red Barn murder and my ancestors part in the event and trial but I am not going to give away any more of this story as I it deserves a blog post of its own.

Covid lockdown was a difficult time for birthing babies with no visitors permitted at hospitals and few visitors allowed in homes. Possibly the hardest part of this Covid pandemic for myself has been seeing my family and grandchildren far less than I would normally do. Sydney, where they live, is in a strict lockdown as I write this blog post and living in a regional area, I cannot travel to see them nor can they visit me.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: arial; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ52wUrrTDWRU7j47e5X0QL-G46vXaOgmnXHW_CSGDNz1rlM_kBvxKsQvbaeDzkzAdgrOarFlmgQO2W2IjVr8p2lHJn2bar9K8eULsCi7FzH36xBGxXq1q5BA8uoG8SjSRVJ7UXUqzvGRD/s2048/IMG_9030.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ52wUrrTDWRU7j47e5X0QL-G46vXaOgmnXHW_CSGDNz1rlM_kBvxKsQvbaeDzkzAdgrOarFlmgQO2W2IjVr8p2lHJn2bar9K8eULsCi7FzH36xBGxXq1q5BA8uoG8SjSRVJ7UXUqzvGRD/s320/IMG_9030.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: xx-small;"> Title Deeds and Probate records I found in an Antique Store in Mittagong, NSW<br /> </span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Between writing presentations, researching family history, writing a book and exploring the NSW countryside in 2020, I made an exciting discovery in an antique store in Mittagong in the Southern Highlands.

There was little discussion about Covid at the Rootstech conference and I spent a total of eight days in Salt Lake City almost oblivious to what was happening around the world. During this time I took wonderful day trips with Kirsty Gray, Fran Kitto, Lilian Magill, Jennifer Condor Strike, Cathie Sherwood and other genea-friends to Antelope Island and Park City ( apologies to those I left out). Naturally high on my list of priorities was lots of research in the wonderful Family History Library in SLC.

Australia at that time was also becoming more affected by Covid and I was hearing announcements by the Australian Government of International Border closures. My plan had been to stay in Chicago for a little over three weeks and I was concerned that I should book an earlier flight home. The advice however, I received from Qantas, was to keep the flights that I had booked from Chicago to LA and LA to Sydney because airlines would be cancelling all later bookings before earlier ones as they emptied return flights to Australia. This proved to be the reason I was able to get home while others were left stranded overseas. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYna-yHvBD7ilquHcCdsZ-5n1qfxC2To3dEpEv1RfQf-EkMBmUlfU_tc1Ij-_dduTiDcfNd7C-BSkMbp4rT1h-Hv6cIcbBxMUP2QvjiQQduJ4guL3aZMF6_SiLaYT-3eIPvsTwbF-N6DV/s2048/IMG_3545.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGYna-yHvBD7ilquHcCdsZ-5n1qfxC2To3dEpEv1RfQf-EkMBmUlfU_tc1Ij-_dduTiDcfNd7C-BSkMbp4rT1h-Hv6cIcbBxMUP2QvjiQQduJ4guL3aZMF6_SiLaYT-3eIPvsTwbF-N6DV/s320/IMG_3545.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> Watching news of Covid at Betsy's home in Lombard. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I had travelled to Chicago for a twofold purpose.

My great grandfather, John McDade, who immigrated to Brisbane Qld, Australia in 1923 was the older brother of Betsy's great grandmother, Agnes Leonard nee McDade, who with her family had emigrated to Southern Illinois. The families had lost touch until Betsy found me through my online Ancestry tree.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I first visited Betsy in 2015 following that year's RootsTech Conference which I attended as an Ambassador and each visit we researched the family together at her kitchen bench. Often there was more laughter than research happening as we sat with our laptops back to back, in what we referred to as "The Genealogy Kitchen". Every night after we went to bed, Betsy in her green room and I in the Blue Room, we continued chatting and solving family history mysteries on Facebook messenger. Betsy always finished each night with "Goodnight Blue Room". </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi412iJwjWQb_G5EgjYPkTTfjm4os7hy9GTST5Yaxh_HQH51w4tb_YAZn0FTvsjwqcmZ6YjbZwnQrsL5BDwhUDwf0V8TPRSNhCRTac7GKt-5HR7fqAldTfGwa0BpV_A_TsY8AH6j_Q5d5Nt/s2048/IMG_3541.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1840" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi412iJwjWQb_G5EgjYPkTTfjm4os7hy9GTST5Yaxh_HQH51w4tb_YAZn0FTvsjwqcmZ6YjbZwnQrsL5BDwhUDwf0V8TPRSNhCRTac7GKt-5HR7fqAldTfGwa0BpV_A_TsY8AH6j_Q5d5Nt/s320/IMG_3541.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"> Trying out the mask I purchased while in Chicago in March 2020 for my flight home.

(Among the many convict records I have found relating to him, his name is also spelled as Lawrence.)

For a young teenager this was quite an adventure I was lucky enough to travel the island for a week with scientists who were examining the flora and fauna of the island.

If we are to celebrate Australia, we should perhaps celebrate the day that we became a nation, which was January 1, 1901, when the federation of Australia came into being.</p></span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Fira Sans", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p>Sharn Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12322295467277564960noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8172940830246247875.post-39883990393564946802020-09-03T17:03:00.001-07:002020-09-03T17:03:14.804-07:00 ROOTSTECH CONNECT 2021 WILL BE FREE AND VIRTUAL<p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #990000; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><b><u>ROOTSTECH IS GOING VIRTUAL AND FREE IN 2021 - ROOSTECH CONNECT</u></b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #990000; font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsTDVAJUFVQpgivDy-WIA9FKWgYxilpht6nZ9Gemhv09UViDNDcHCAJQ6Q_-n8cAY0XEM5FnO6BWiXdcdBmvLWar8pJCwZEW4lTO79EpO99sZTfsDLpmsldtn-NHmgmSmD0Crk2OIWpQhK/s1200/118031971_3384129865144935_6505593353353982104_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsTDVAJUFVQpgivDy-WIA9FKWgYxilpht6nZ9Gemhv09UViDNDcHCAJQ6Q_-n8cAY0XEM5FnO6BWiXdcdBmvLWar8pJCwZEW4lTO79EpO99sZTfsDLpmsldtn-NHmgmSmD0Crk2OIWpQhK/s320/118031971_3384129865144935_6505593353353982104_o.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Familysearch recently made the exciting announcement that Rootstech 2021 is going VIRTUAL and perhaps the BEST NEWS of all, is that it will be <b>FREE</b> for everyone. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The conference, which was previously planned to be held in Salt Lake City, will now be held on February 25-27 2021 as a <b>FREE ONLINE EVENT.</b> That's right - the Rootstech Conference 2021 will be FREE so </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: arial;"><b>REGISTER NOW</b> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">at </span><a href="https://www.rootstech.org/?lang=eng" style="font-family: arial;">RootsTech.org</a></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD84ljeQd76Sf69rStHEhmtDS2SUpPhcYRbe2LcFNWzAGre_4BvamuVazw8qRRI-IkF67zPxo6Uz0gsUg-dScLXrlm19SkED0EDOKfOzr767nTXBgLAnGItt7v9H_CNLlvWxjeArrRpC7X/s631/AMB117535621_3363033490587906_2826823537980170387_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="631" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD84ljeQd76Sf69rStHEhmtDS2SUpPhcYRbe2LcFNWzAGre_4BvamuVazw8qRRI-IkF67zPxo6Uz0gsUg-dScLXrlm19SkED0EDOKfOzr767nTXBgLAnGItt7v9H_CNLlvWxjeArrRpC7X/s320/AMB117535621_3363033490587906_2826823537980170387_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><p style="text-align: left;">I am thrilled to be a Rootstech Ambassador for Roostech 2021 and especially excited to be promoting this unmissable <b>Rootstech Connect</b> event - so watch for upcoming announcements on my social media accounts.

Elizabeth Jane was 23 and William Shulver 17 at the time of the marriage but both gave their ages as 20 years. Proof of age was not required to marry in 1855. For a brief period between 1822 and 1823 the requirement for a marriage was a baptismal certificate <b><span style="font-size: x-small;">[29]</span></b> but since not everyone had easy access to one, this was abandoned.

The crucial and only identifying piece of information I had about William Shulver, the husband of Elizabeth Jane Turner was that his</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> occupation was a WHEELWRIGHT. <font size="1"><b>[42]</b></font></span></div><div style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWuwnpSSgMvT1rPW1HEs3hL5qTyJAQ1x1EHskUt1U55yD-nsL5O-8rh0cPifL2zd-2EPpLJQhaL3RW12EFseDxxDpI-XbG2ocYjVEVNkPZZoWyKRDAnxCv0wR71wDcwtW1JUz86fT1i6_/s1200/Wheelwright.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWuwnpSSgMvT1rPW1HEs3hL5qTyJAQ1x1EHskUt1U55yD-nsL5O-8rh0cPifL2zd-2EPpLJQhaL3RW12EFseDxxDpI-XbG2ocYjVEVNkPZZoWyKRDAnxCv0wR71wDcwtW1JUz86fT1i6_/s320/Wheelwright.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><font face="arial" size="1">Workshop of a Wheelwright, Wikimedia Commons</font></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: "times new roman"; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Searching on <a href="https://www.findmypast.com.au/">Findmypast,</a> <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/">Ancestry,</a> <a href="https://www.myheritage.com/">MyHeritage</a>, <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/en/">FamilySearch</a> and <a href="https://www.thegenealogist.com/">The Genealogist,</a> I found SEVEN birth and baptism records of males named William Shulver, including variations of the name, which were <u>Shelver</u> and <u>Silver.</u> Any of these seven men potentially could have married Elizabeth Jane Turner in 1855.

My research plan was as follows:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">1. Search census records to determine place of birth and occupation of each William and the first name of a wife </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">2. Search for the marriages </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial;">3. To ensure I had the correct marriage for each William - crosscheck with the baptism records of the children found in census records.

Even when everything points to a person or family having firm roots in one place, it pays to look for family members, even distant ones, who may have moved elsewhere, and to search in that location for your missing person. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">If your English ancestors were anything like mine, then some will be more difficult to trace than others. My maternal HOYES ancestors can be traced back to distant times in Nottinghamshire, England, but several generations of my HOYES family, from Girton and Winthorpe in Nottinghamshire, led me on a merry chase to a neighbouring county. I discovered, while researching a missing ancestor, that during the 18th and 19th centuries, a number of family members regularly moved back and forth across the border between Nottinghamshire to Claypole, Marston and Grantham in Lincolnshire.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Some of these Hoyes folk adopted Lincolnshire as a long term place of residence, while others, including later generations of the Hoyes family, returned to Nottinghamshire. This multi-generational migration between two the counties caused much confusion when researching this family. You can read about this in my two blogs <a href="https://sharnsgenealogyhints.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-tale-of-two-williams-and-importance.html">"The Tale of Two Williams"</a> and <a href="https://sharnsgenealogyhints.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-twist-in-tale-of-two-williams.html">"The Twist in the Tale of Two Williams".</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Migration from a traditional place of residence to a nearby county occurred for a number of reasons, and quite often the destination was determined by active family ties. Some people moved away from a home place to seek employment while others married and resettled in a new place. Because of the geographical challenges that travel presented in the past, people tended not to move very far from their home, unless they migrated overseas. Those </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">who dwelt near a county border were more easily able to move to a neighbouring county because of its proximity. I am convinced that a few of my ancestors, over generations, wore a path back and forth between two counties! </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When people settled in a new place of residence, and that place, was within a reasonable travelling distance from home, inevitably it became a destination which attracted family and friends to visit or move to. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The movement of people between two counties established connections between two places that had the potential to continue for generations. One member of a family who settled in a new county might then attract siblings, nieces and nephews or cousins to visit or resettle there. </span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">A number of online trees which had my 5th great grandfather Robert Osborn on them, were displaying a marriage for his daughter Ann Mayer Osborn in Essex. My 4th great grandmother, Ann Mayer Osborn, born in Dedham, Essex, most definitely married and lived all of her married life in Ipswich Suffolk. Certainly there were several other females by the name of Ann Osborn who did marry in the county of Essex, but crucially, none of them were named Ann <u>Mayer</u> Osborn. It had simply not occurred to people, that Ann may have married outside of her home county of Essex, and so they attached a marriage in Essex, which seemed to fit for Ann Osborn, but one which was incorrect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Ann Mayer Osborn, for some reason, left her home in the village of Dedham, Essex and traveled the 11 miles to Ipswich, Suffolk where she met and married William Turner. I wasn't far into researching my Essex Osborn family when I discovered a plausible explanation for Ann's move to Suffolk.</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Ann's father Robert Osborn, was baptised at St Mary the Virgin Church, Dedham, Essex on 13 December 1759, to parents Samuel and Clementine Osborn (nee STOWE) <font size="1"><b>[14]</b></font>. Before researching Robert's parents, I set out to find his marriage to Ann Mayer, and I quickly</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> discovered that Ann Mayer Osborn was not the first member of her family to cross the county border into Suffolk from Essex. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Searching Essex marriages for a marriage between Robert OSBORN and Ann MAYER turned up nothing. With a little lateral thinking, I decided that if Ann had married in Suffolk, perhaps it would be worth searching Suffolk marriage records for her father's marriage. It occurred to me that if Ann's mother had come from Suffolk, it would provide a family connection that could well explain why Ann had left Essex and gone to Suffolk. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;">

Although Ann Mayer Osborn was born and raised in Dedham, Essex, she had strong family connections to the nearby county of Suffolk through her mother and grandmother.</span><br /><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">People who know me would probably describe me as a Rootstechaholic! And it would be true! The reason I travel all the way from Australia to attend this yearly event is because Rootstech is a conference with a difference. This conference combines family history and technology, a huge variety of classes, truly inspiring keynote speakers, some of the world's best presenters and an outstanding Exhibition Hall. Attending Rootstech for me is not only an excellent learning opportunity but is also about catching up with and meeting the wonderful friends I have made online through researching family history. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am especially excited to be attending this UK and European focused Rootstech Conference, since my ancestry is English, Scottish, Irish, Swiss and German. Although on this trip I would love to visit all of these ancestral places, I have decided to explore my ancestral origins in England on this particular visit. I have planned a three week driving trip to help me better understand of some of my English ancestral origins. I will be visiting villages, towns, archives and ancestral homes on my English family history drive. All this, inspired by attending Rootstech London!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Perhaps the most exciting ancestral place I will be visiting will be Marwell Hall in Hmapshire. This is the magnificent home that my great uncle purchased in 1934, and the place where he built a secret airstrip and concealed hangars to test fly spitfire aircraft during WW2. Marwell Hall once belonged to King Henry VII I and was gifted by the king to the Seymour family so there is an amazing amount of history in the lifetime of this building. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The house now stands in the gounds of Marwell Wildlife Zoo. I have spent a great deal of time researching my great uncle's fascinating life and my investigations have led me to court cases, shipping records, MI5 Files, archive files regarding illegal gun running to Hyderabad and much more. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am beyond excited to actually be seeing the place where my great uncle lived.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My driving trip will also take me to other English ancestral places where I will enjoy researching in local archives and walking in the footsteps of my ancestors. I have no doubt that my family history driving trip will be a valuable lead up to the three days of informative classes at Rootstech at London. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As an attendee, I would like to say a thankyou to the amazing Rootstech volunteers. Nothing happens at a Rootstech Conference without the <a href="https://www.rootstech.org/london/volunteer">Volunteers. </a> You won't be able to miss them in their stand out T-shirts, so if you have any questions while attending Rootstech simply look for a volunteer. They are usually the people with a very welcoming smile!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As a DNA Downunder Ambassador, I have been following with great interest, the exciting Australian DNA Conference which has so far travelled to Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne. In its final stages the conference still has Sydney to visit.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This conference boasts an exciting lineup of expert <a href="https://www.dnadownunder.com/speakers/">speakers </a>including Blaine Bettinger from the USA, Louise Coakley, Kerry Farmer, Michelle Patient and Helen Smith. </span></div>

I was lucky enough to meet Blaine at Rootstech in March of this year and I look forward to learning more about how to best use my DNA results when he speaks in Sydney this coming week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A BRIEF REVIEW</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the days prior to the internet and online records, the contextual and wider view of the past and past lives lives we are fortunate to have today, was hidden away in dusty parish records. The internet has provided so much more availability of information that it is sometimes worth checking research conducted in pre internet days.. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For some years, I had been convinced that I, and other family members, had the incorrect parents on my family tree, for my third great grandfather William Hoyes, a weaver from Newark Nottinghamshire. The parents thought to be his, were Thomas Hoyes, born 1768 Girton, Nottinghamshire and Ann Machin, born in Claypole, Lincolnshire. This research was many years old and was originally undertaken by a researcher who visited England in the days before records became available online. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Over some years, I had nagging doubts that Thomas and Ann Hoyes were my really fourth great grandparents but I had to find the time to research the problem. If you have not yet read the first part of my tale before reading the ending, you can do so <a href="https://sharnsgenealogyhints.blogspot.com.au/2018/02/the-tale-of-two-williams-and-importance.html">here. </a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Looking at the wider picture is important, especially when you have ancestors with common names. After finding two William Hoyes of the same age in the 1841 census, one a Weaver and the other an Ag Lab, I discounted that William was in two places at one time and that he had two occupations, so concluded that my third great grandfather, William Hoyes, living with his wife Deborah Berry in the above 1841 census in Newark, Nottinghamshire, was NOT the same person as the William Hoyes who was born in Claypole, Lincolnshire in 1809, to Thomas and Ann Hoyes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The William Hoyes born in Claypole, LIncolnshire was obviously sitting incorrectly on my family tree as my three times great grandfather. It was a bitter pill to swallow since I had spent many years working backwards from Thomas Hoyes and Ann Machin and I had collected family from as far back as the early 1700's. With a sinking feeling, I had come to terms with the fact that they just weren't MY family. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The result seems so simply obvious when I tell the story now, but the undoing of years of research was a huge undertaking. Online records have made the task of finding people far easier than when this original research was done - especially when there are multiple people of the same name and age and like in the case of my William Hoyes. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">In the first part of this story I showed how I finally reached the conclusion that the William Hoyes who was my third great grandfather, was born on August 4, 1810 in Newark, Nottinghamshire to John Hoyes and his wife Mary (possible surname KENNERAL). I believe that the original research was confused by the fact that in the 1851 census, there were two William Hoyes of the same approximate age, and both were living in Nottinghamshire not far from each other. That there were two men of the same name and other clues which might have avoided this error, were missed in the pre internet days of researching.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Below is William Hoyes born Claypole, Lincolnshire, who was living in South Collingham, Notinghamshire in 1851. In this census record he is recorded as being aged 41 years, works as an agricultural labourer (ag lab) and lives with his wife Mary and sons Samuel 4 and Thomas 3. This is the William born to Thomas Hoyes and Ann Machin.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If only my Nottinghamshire ancestors had been thoughtful enough to adhere to the strict naming patterns that many of my Scottish families did - first son after grandfather and the second after the father - my search would have been so much more straightforward. There was one clue in the names of children that is obvious now in the aftermath of this error. My William Hoyes, born in Nottinghamshire had a son named John and did not have a son called Thomas. William of Claypole, had a son named Thomas and no John. The boys were clearly named for their paternal grandfathers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Resigned to the fact that Thomas Hoyes (born 1768 in Girton, Nottinghamshire) and Ann Machin (born ab 1765 in Claypole, Lincolnshire) were NOT, never were, and never will be my fourth great grandparents, you might recall from my earlier blog post that I took the heartwrenching decision to remove them along with six generations of 'family' before them, from my family tree. With them, disappeared Thomas's parents William and Mary Hoyes and his his brothers and sisters. My daughter recalls me saying, <i>"I don't know if I can do this..."</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />As one ancestor after another disappeared form my tree, I realised with some anticipation that I now had new fourth great grandparents named John and Mary Hoyes, with whom I needed to become acquainted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you've read the first installment of this tale you will know that I found the man I discovered to be William's real father, John Hoyes, was in the 1841 census, aged 80, living with a Sarah and Robert Beecham. Robert Beecham was a weaver like my William Hoyes. Listed with them were their children Elizabeth 15, Charlotte 20, Robert 13, and a three year old child by named <u>William Stones</u>. Unfortunately the 1841 census did not give relationships between these people so I set out to research this for myself.</span></span><br />

To prove this, I needed to find a connection between John Hoyes and the Beecham family. I suspected the most likely relationship was that Sarah Beecham was the daughter of John Hoyes and Robert Beecham, weaver, was his son in law. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> It did not take long to find a marriage between Sarah Hoyes to Robert Beecham at Newark, Nottinghamshire on November 4, 1830<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> [7]</span> in which the witnesses were a Dorothy Beecham and Mary Murpley. Sarah Beecham, was almost certainly the daughter of John Hoyes and therefore a sister of my William. To cement this belief, I set out to find out who William Stones was and what relationship he had, if any, to my Hoyes family. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Searching for a marriage between a female Hoyes and a man named Stones I found a marriage which took place in Radford, Nottinghamshire on June 12, 1831, between Charlotte Hoyes and Samuel Stones <span style="font-size: xx-small;">[8]. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Two females named Sarah and Charlotte Hoyes had married men with the names Beecham and Stones - both of these surnames were connected to John Hoyes - the man I believed to be the correct father for my William Hoyes- in the 1841 census. Could this be a coincidence or were these women William's sisters? Was I on the right path to finding William's family? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since I had stripped my Hoyes tree branches bare of leaves from William backwards, I knew nothing about William's parents, John and Mary Hoyes, and of course, nothing about any siblings. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Researching Samuel and Charlotte Stones, I discovered that they had four sons including one named WILLIAM, who was born in the April to June quarter of 1838 <span style="font-size: xx-small;">[9]</span>. This son William Stones would have been three years old in the 1841 census, which was the same age as the William Stones staying in Spittal Row, Newark with John Hoyes and the Beecham family. Could this William might prove to be an important clue in my tale of two Williams? If so, I needed to link hus mother Charlotte Hoyes to my William Hoyes.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Charlotte's husband Samuel had died in October of the previous year and when I looked for Charlotte in the 1841 census <span style="font-size: xx-small;">10]</span>, I discovered her widowed, living in Ellis Row Newark, with sons John 9, Thomas 7, and George 1 year. her son William, aged three years, was <u>not with her.</u> There was the possibility that he had died, but it was hihky likely that he was the boy named William Stones staying in the Beecham household on the night of the 1841 census. Although I was grieving the loss of my wrong ancestor Thomas Hoyes and the many ancestors who preceeded him, I was becoming more and more certain that I had found my real Hoyes family. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">According to the 1841 census, John Hoyes was born in 1761, but considering that ages were rounded up or down in this census, I widened my search parameter to search for his birth. He claimed to have been born in Nottinghamshire in the census, but to be on the safe side, I searched for a birth in neighbouring Lincolnshire as well. And - let's face it, it had been a wrench letting go of my Lincolnshire roots along with Thomas Hoyes. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was able to eliminate all men named John Hoyes who were born within twenty years of 1761, in Lincolnshire. Any others by the name of John Hoyes had died before 1841, when I knew my John to be living in Newark, Nottinghamshire, or were living in the wrong place at that time. As a result, I determined that my John Hoyes was not born in Lincolnshire. I narrowed my search to the only remaining birth that fitted that of my fourth great grandfather and this was <u>John Hoyes who was born and baptised in 1766 in Girton, Nottinghamshire,</u> to parents William and Mary Hoyes<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> [11].</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had verified that William had two older sisters named Sarah and Charlotte! The peices of the puzzle were fitting together perfectly. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sarah Hoyes was born in Newark in 1794 and Charlotte Hoyes was born in Hawton, Nottinghamshire in 1807. In the 1841 census Charlotte's age had been rounded down to 30 when it was really 34. William's sister Sarah Hoyes had married a weaver named Robert Beecham and she was the Sarah Beecham with whom their 80 year old father, John Hoyes was living in 1841. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">William's sister Charlotte had a son named William Stones who was the grandson of John Hoyes and nephew of my William. This William was most certainly the three year old boy in the 1841 census, staying with the Beecham family, his aunt Sarah Beecham and grandfather John Hoyes. Two sisters, aged eleven years apart, their marriages a year apart, and another William (Stones) helped confirm for me that John Hoyes, living with the Beecham family at Spittal Row, Newark, Nottinghamshire aged 80 years, was indeed my ancestor and 4th great grandfather and the correct father for my William Hoyes. </span></span><br />

This tale has a most happy ending and a wonderful twist. I had not, as I had first thought, wasted years of research into my Hoyes family. Fortunately I had kept a backup copy of my old research so I was able to return my ancestors to their rightful places on my family tree. It took quite a while but I welcomed each family member back with much fondness and a great deal of amazement.</span></span><br />

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 15.456px;">In a most incredulous twist I simply had to switch an uncle and a brother to have the correct four times great grandfather, JOHN HOYES and fifth great uncle THOMAS HOYES on my family tree exactly where they both belong. </span></span><br />
